(In Honour of the 71st Birthday of His Royal Highness, The Oba of Benin, Uku’a’kpolokpolor Oba Ewuare II.

Ogidigan
The Grandeur of Ancient Magnificence
Resplendence of Lordliness and Grace
Augustness of Quintessential Height and Royal Splendor
The Aristocracy of African’s might and Craftsmanship
Supreme Superintendent of Benin’s Culture and history
The Monarchy of Earth’s Originality
The Seed of Divine Visage

Ogidigan
god in flesh
Beautiful are your Gaits – O’ Ewuare the Great
Behold the Magnanimity of your peaceful reign.
Majestic Splendor of Kingliness
The Pride of Africa
The Stately Symbol of Ancient rare-rest’s wisdom
The Sophistication of timeless civilization encoded in the lions of heroic acquiescence

Ogidigan
The Fierceness of Oromiyan
The Doggedness of Ewedo
The Mystic of Esigie
The Immortal Strength of Eweka
The Expansionism of Ovoranmwen
The Pragmatism of Oguola,
The Artistry of Ozolua
The Christian Spirit of Erediauwa

Are in you and with you to make great again
The Ancient, now Modern Kingdom of Benin
