There is no monarch that cannot be crowned/deposed by the state government. Chieftaincy is strictly state government affairs.

That is why the Benin kingdom remain the best

Come to Benin city and see real monarchy

This is why certain monarchical stools in Nigeria hold no societal relevance.

In Yakurr LGA of Cross River where I come from, the Obol Lopon (King) of Ugep is picked through a sacred traditional ritual that is performed by the Chief Priest and Kingmaker. The three maternal clans who have historically been christened for the stool are gathered, and whether there be 60 people in attendance, the chief priest throws the coronation towel of the gods that floats until it settles on the shoulder of the one who's chosen.

Once that's done, no single soul utters a word in argument or defiance. The king is crowned and can be on that stool for 50years or more, depending on what the gods deem fit, according to his well rounded earthly behaviour and handling of the stool.

No governor or political leader has a bloody say over who sits on that stool. The only time the Governor does the selection based on popular votes or opinion is when one king is to be crowned the paramount ruler of all other village kings in my LGA.

All these 21st century half-baked monarchies being decided by politicians is the reason people like Ganduje can wake up and disgrace a whole Emir, then balkanize his kingdom.. . Tomorrow una no go allow us hear something with nonsensical bragging!

Typical Nigerians

When the system favour you, it's call Eledumare


When the system is against you, we called it Nepotism, corruption, and Back door

Mayeldah:
This one is confused.

So if it is God that made you king, how come you are now giving the credit to Governors!

Oba wey dey smoke loud for street, what do you expect?
