Book of Obadiah
The Book of Obadiah is found in both the
Hebrew Bible and the
Old Testament of the
Christian Bible, where it is the shortest book, only one chapter long. Its authorship is generally attributed to a person named
Obadiah, which means “servant (or worshipper) of the Lord”. Obadiah is classified as a "
minor prophet" in the Christian Bible due to the brevity of the writing (only 21 verses) and the content (prophetic material). An
Old Testament prophet was (professedly) not only a person who was given divine insight into future events, but a person whom the Lord used to declare his word.

Oba, Nigeria
Oba (correctly Ọ̀bà, but also written as Òbà ), is an ancient
Igbomina town in northeastern
Yorubaland of
Nigeria. Ọ̀bà was capital of an ancient Ọ̀bà kingdom, reputed in
oral history of the region as a center of great wealth and enterprise.British colonial records indicate that the ancient Ọ̀bà kingdom uses the "iron crown and rod" (perhaps brass or bronze crown and rod), as the insignia of the king, perhaps as a result of their early invlovement with iron-smelting and iron-working technology. Subsequent Yoruba kingdoms used beaded "crown and rod" insignia, (possibly because precious stones and glassware replaced metalware as the symbol of high rank and wealth).
Oratures makes references to "idẹ" which is brass not iron.
