Iamgrey5: Being toxic is an individual trait, not something tied to ethnicity, tribe or race. The statement "yoruba's are toxic" is false and came out of a bigoted mindset. However, oluwo's comment is undeserving. Everybody has a right to informed opinion. Nobody has a right to opinion born out of ignorance. Nobody has a right to ignorance. Oluwo's comment is mischievous and borne out of ignorance. Maybe he should be reminded about what happened btw ganduje and emir Sanusi in Kano-northern nigeria,or between Late Gov. Rimi and late Emir Ado bayero also in same Kano state of northern nigeria in 1981. In late Rimi's words : Abubakar Rimi then declared emirs to be “mere public servants working under the directives of their local government chairmen.” All these happened, and heaven did not fall! |

Re: Oyo Monarchs’ Encounter: You Can’t Try Such With An Emir, Oluwo Blasts Obasanjo by casualobserver: 5:15pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
illicit: There is hypocrisy on both sides. 1. Traditional rulers are ceremonial, I say this all the time and I will say it again, they lost their kingdoms to the British. They were defeated by the British and are employees of the state, therefore governors, presidents are higher than any King or oba or Emir in Nigeria and that it why if a governor doesn’t like you he will remove you. There are some states where traditional rulers require/d written permission from the local government chairman to travel out of their “kingdom”……what kind of king is that? Sultan of sokoto was removed by Abacha, Emir of Kano was deposed and exiled by Ganduje, ALaafin of Oyo was demoted by Awolowo and an hitherto inconsequential Ooni was made the senior Oba in Yoruba land. Do these kind of things happen to Kings or employees? I think we can all see from these three examples who is indeed subservient to whom. It’s only in Nigeria that you lose your kingdom, you are defeated, you are conquered and you are still parading yourself as King…..King of where? The only reason Emirs, Obas, Obi’s etc still exist in Nigeria is that the British needed people with local knowledge to help them administer Nigeria via indirect rule. And so they kept them as hired help. 2. Having said that (and this is where the hypocrisy on Obasanjo’s side comes). Obasanjo is also no longer a head of state, the same reason he refuse to bow to them is also why they can equally feel they can’t bow to him. If anything the kings are ceremonial custodians of culture, Obasanjo is just a regular citizen.. Most of these Kings gave up their Kingdoms without a fight. I don’t see the why they should be honoured. Glory and honor comes in dying protecting your kingdom, at least put up a fight, so your descendants and lineage can have glory…but instead you sign agreement to relinquish your kingdom without a single shot. Special mention to the Benin and Ijebu kings ( and a few others). who at least fought the British and went down fighting. 7 Likes |

wirinet: Yeah, but when it’s time for your criminal politicians like OBASANJO to campaign for election votes, they rush to ‘pay respect’ to these traditional leaders, and ‘seek their blessings’, and beg them to influence their people to vote for them. WHAT WE NEED IS GREATER CONSTITUTIONAL POWER AND AUTHORITY FOR TRADITIONAL LEADERS, AND IT MUST HAPPEN. 1 Like |

Obasanjo is a megalomaniac and a voodoo practitioner. He might have used "village-people-power" (VPP) on the hapless and hypnotized monarchs. None of them could resist the spell! Ewo - o o o! |

sreamsense:play the video very well and listen to what he said. He rubbished and addressed them like erran boys. He is not the president, he was an expresident and a chief in his own community. He is a balogun of his community and, he is telling them to stand up in a disrespectful way. Thats wrong. 3 Likes |

Eriokanmi: Take back that respect, he’s lost it. He is an attention seeking egoist. He is supposed to be grateful for all the many chances God has given him and somewhat right his wrongs, but no, he is particularly losing the little respect he has left in his very old age. What we celebrate in Obasanjo in Yoruba land is his age and the grace God gave him. He has no shame and he is self-centered. He is attention seeking. 3 Likes |

Tntsi:If you know nothing about Yoruba culture then keep your comments, the throne is not about individuals but the institution, the Oni of Ife is probably younger than all Yoruba Kings, but He is still the custodian of the title The Ooni of Ile-Ife, the spiritual head of the Yoruba people. Obasanjo was very wrong in desicrating the institution no matter how old or whatever height he might have attained in life. 3 Likes |

wirinet: Please don't say what you don't know, Yoruba obas, especially first class Kings don't stand up from their seats to greet governors or president except where the Kings involves just arrive and meet them on the seat. We all know even local government chairmen are above them but we respect the thrones and subsequently the Kings. The same obj that have postrated for Kings countless time when he was in power is now telling them to stand up and gree him. The man is just being bitter or probably affected by old age. If that was the case, those Obas would've stood up even before being reminded by arrogant OBJ. 2 Likes |
