I don't think this is new. If I remember correctly, in most African culture, they will call you back home no matter where you are on earth. There is even African magic for bringing you back home.

He should learn some lessons from his predecessor, the late Alafin, (Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III) who was a very Randy old man.

Hmmm. Reading through his biography and professional antecedents, he is surely a good pick! We no longer want stark illiterates at the corridors of power - be it traditional or administrative.

Ki ade o pè lori, ki bata pè lèsè.

BTW:

I want to remind you all that President Tinubu has less than 869 days to handover power to the next person.

urheadmaster

Use your head n don't let that flat skull b empty, yorubas never said all of us had PhD. We don't say stupid things like that, we have fair share of everything.

We have the rich, we have the poor, we have the literate n illiterate

We aren't like delusional cannibals from the evil forest who calls everyone from their region billionaire's

Only an idiot will believe everyone from a place is a billionaire, even in USA n Canada everyone can't b a billionaire but some delusion idiots wants to make us believe everyone from their evil forest is a billionaire

Yorubas don't say stupid things, a typical example of stupid things those people say is found below

bro, it's far from that. The kingship stool is traditional and according to traditional believe our forefathers believe a woman can never satisfy a man throughout his lifetime which is true

On nairaland, we see threads daily of how wife's deny their husbands sex n the husband's have to start running after olosho or been caught in stupid places doing silly things

So the Yoruba believe is that to curb the king from been exposed to ridicule as a result of his wife turning down sexual demands, let the king marry many wives so he can freely pick anyone he desires without going out to do stupid things

I hope u get it?

Imagine when a girl get mind dey divorce ooni of ife on d internet, imagine that Madness

If the king had over 6 wives then she won't do that shit
