EDO...... powerful monarch, wonderful traditional attire. The Benin people have had popularity for many generations past. Her total respect for her kings have made Benin very famous.
I once heard that the king was sued to court and was walking on the road to attend his case but women of The Benin kingdom were wailing and spreading wrappers on the road for him to step on. Imagine how high they hold their kings.
The most enchanting part to me about the Benin is their traditional attire especially for the woman. They adorn women with priceless African traditional beads. Red beads and the sight is so breath taking. I have not been fortunate enough to see a woman from a royal lineage. They are said to wear the most priceless of all this traditionally enchanting jewel.
It is not surprising why the white men in the past saw the Benin people to be very fascinating.
