This is very unique

[@prospektarty1513]

Point of correction The Kingdom of Warri was founded circa 1475 therefore the throne is over 500 years old or more than half a millennium and not just over 400 years as you stated.

[@backinhistory9]

That's why the video used the word "over". That accommodates a multitude of years.

Ogiame suoooo

Oba of Benin wasn’t present but was represented by the highest chiefs of the Benin kingdom

[@wilsonosadolor9265]

The Kingdom of Warri has its ancestry from the Great Kingdom of Benin
So the Olu is like a son to His Majesty, Omonoba Nedo Ukuakpolokpolo, Oba of Benin
So you will not expect the Oba to be present himself
This is same with The Obi of Agbor and the Obi of Onisha.
You can do your research if you doubt me

@@wilsonosadolor9265 correct. Elaborate on the Dein of Agbor & Obi of Onitsha please. Who’s senior in history ?

[@anukpefortune5419]

@@wilsonosadolor9265 The Olu can never be like a son to anybody dey are Brothers Sir/Ma

@@anukpefortune5419Please , you will need to learn more about the history of the Benin and Itshekiri people.
Why do you think that in most cases, the mother of the Olu designate must be either Itshekiri or Benin.
The only exception to this is the present Olu whose mother is Yoruba and it took God for him to be installed. That's one of the reasons for the crises initially
