Born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in 1926 April 21 into English royalty when her grandfather was King. Everybody would have been nice to her by default, so naturally she would have a tender heart. If you are never insulted by anyone and everybody treats you with respect, you will most likely grow up to be a nice person with a good heart unlike many of us that have to struggle with many people who look down on us for one reason or the other.

The Queen is the most important and experienced politician in Britain today. Having been crowned since 1952, she has been receiving briefs from the secret service and the British Prime Minister since then. She is said to be given some briefs even before the PM.

The patron of the British monarchy is the Norman, a Viking descended Frenchman called William the Conqueror who became King in AD 1066 during the middle ages. At that time the empire was Scotland and England and it was a minor European nation.

Through thick and thin Britain rose and had totally surpassed the Spanish and Portuguese by mid 18th century. They formed corporations and invested wisely, the clothiers rose selling British wool to the continent of Europe. It was said that most of Europe was clothed in English wool. It brought prosperity and it led to the industrial revolution as well, something which changed the global economy. The British took it upon themselves, deployed resources to put an end to slavery on the globe. They used their superior firepower, a product of the industrial revolution to achieve that. Later two horrible wars followed and after the second, the British adopted a policy of allowing people to rule themselves. Possibly the first time an empire will hands off its posts voluntarily in world history without being humiliated. Something which some still find difficult in the 21st century.

If a nation will be credited with introducing the present system under which global population has boomed, under which prosperity has skyrocketed, that nation is Britain. The people are Celts with an admixture or taint of Germanic.

Without a government and the state, the British would not have been able to change the world. They needed the navy to ferry and protect the clothiers, the parliament to discuss best ways forward when in a dlemma. It was in one of such parliaments that the idea of the postage stamp was suggested, it was ridiculed but later accepted and it worked and etc.


The CEO of Britain used to be the King or Queen but largely because of the difficulty of removing such a CEO, the British started using a Prime Minister from among the elected parliamentarians as head of government business. The King or Queen retained the right to be consulted, to advise and to warn as it is said, but in actual fact, the British monarch remains the most experienced politician in Britain if not the whole world. The CIA top echelons like President George H W Bush and etc may be more powerful because of the huge CIA budget and they may have had more horrible experiences but Queen Elizabeth have been receiving briefs from the secret service since 1952 when she was just 26. Among the Yoruba, the problem of removing the CEO was never an issue, Obas were routinely removed in the past, advised to go on exile or commit suicide depending on what he or she did wrong. The Oba was a servant of the Ogboni in the past. For example, Koru, Sango's elder brother was removed as Alaafin, his brother installed, when that one died, Koru was brought back and reinstalled as CEO or Oba.


The British worked together and all they achieved is as a result of their joining of hands together. The organisation is government and the symbol of the government is the monarch who is constrained to project the cherished values of Britain. The British monarch is the custodian of that value and she is more experienced than any PM can ever be since she has been in government since 1952.

The old system of using national CEOs is good, maybe even better than what we have today, so far they can be removed at any time and without fuss. The only change may be that any member of the nation should be able to seek that top job instead of restricting it to some families.

That old system that guided the British to the industrial revolution innovation is represented by Queen Elizabeth II today. If the British were subsistence farmers with no ambition not to talk of government or monarch, the story of our world might have been different.


I wish her God's blessings and many more years in good health and prosperity on this occasion of her 90th birthday.
