prince-Eheneden-Erediauwa

The Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom, Prince Eheneden Erediauwa, on Sunday left Evuekoi for Azama N’ Uhe ancestral shrine at Oloton’s Palace in Isekhere Street, Benin, to perform traditional rites.

Earlier, the prince had engaged in a mock wrestling match, which symbolised ‘wrestling’ with the Chief Priest of Okhuaihe shrine, Osarodion Usuanlele, the Ohen N’ Ukoni Neyedo.

The Okhuaihe shrine is located in Evbuekoi in Uhunwode Local Government Area of the state.

After the symbolic wrestling match, both of them went opposite ways never to see each other again once the crown prince becomes the Oba.

Okhuaihe Chief Priest would not enter the city of Benin again and whenever the Oba wants to pass through the vicinity, the chief priest would leave the area completely.

The crown prince visited the chief priest and both of them proceeded to the sacred forest in the community to perform some rites.

The crown prince will be installed Oba on Thursday.

Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
