The Oba of Benin Kingdom, Oba Erediawa, on Saturday, 22 June, 2013, marked his 90th birthday in style.
Many dignitaries from all over the country were in Benin to celebrate the occassion.
Comrade Adams Oshiomole was present and even though the king was absent from the celebration due to health issues, his son, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediawa, represented him. Nevertheless, the Oba's absence was felt all through the occasion. The cake was white and adorned with beads which symbolize purity of the monarchy.
There was a re-launch of a book written by the monarch, 'I Remain Sir, Your Loyal Servant'
His queens who are rarely seen in public were led by Olori Esther Erediawa and they were gorgeously dressed and surrounded by maids
