Mrsoundoro:
SOWORE COULD HAVE BEEN TURNED TO GOAT FOR DESECRATION OF OONI'S STATUS

Let me explain the scenario to you. Sowore had an appointment with Ooni, Somehow they were delayed for 3 hours has been speculated. When Ooni was entering the town hall finally to meet him he decided not to prostrate to Ooni all in a protest that he was delayed. He now finally nailed his contempt by finally saying it to Ooni in the face that he didn't prostrate. and I think that was what triggers the tear Gas, As for the person who sprayed it. I don't know if it Ooni Guards.

Honestly, if it was in then days the Ooni palace I knew.. They would have turned him to goat or hurt him forever. He is really lucky where are in the digital age.

Sowore really shot himself in the leg with this arrogance. As much as we think everybody should be accountable for their actions, there are some exceptional cases. In my opinion, I don’t think Ooni had kept him waiting because he wanted to keep him for just no reason. Do u understand Yoruba culture Ooni is not just a king, but the custodian of Yoruba culture and tradition. He is not like any of these Kings like Akinolu of Lagos, Agege King, or Oluwo of Iwo.

He’s not any of these kings that wakes and just come into the palace. if you think because he’s a Christian, he’s not getting divination daily from his Ifa priests? Think about this. All through the period Wuraola was married to him, did you see just a strand of her hair out? Why was she always covering her hair unlike other Queens married to other Yoruba kings. This should tell you there is more to this throne than what we know. Please note that everything must be in place before OONI step out of his abode.

In my own opinion, Sowore is better being an activist than a leader. no matter how we might gang up and uproot this useless leader who has wreck Nigeria to this point that we need to dislodge them , we would still need our kings and queen support. no one can win the heart of people by fighting or disrespecting their king at-least not in Yoruba land I know and even in some other country that I have been too.

I think education should come with common sense. Sowore lacks in this case for not putting any of these above into consideration before acting like that.

Tradition my foot, tradition or custodian of a tradition that does not respect its own subjects don't deserve to be respected that my opinion. Even Queen Elizabeth will not keep a bagger she has an appointment with for an hour without an explanation. With the notion that no one question constituted authorities or so-called traditions it is stupid because Sowore has liberated himself from the mental slavery that is holding the majority of Nigerians hostage until we liberate ourselves from it Nigeria will continue wallowing in darkness.

keneck1:
As for who I am, a am a realistic political analyst who has been following politics from the days of Abacha at a very tender age at that,not people like you that started following political happenings just because social media allowed even people that have no voters card to rant on the net,I repeat sowore cannot deliver his ward in the upcoming elections keep deceiving yourself if you like believe what I just shared with you that's your problem.

You're probably pleased with what you just typed up there but I'll let it slide. That you've been following politics since the days of Abacha doesn't count for much if you've been learning from the wrong people; it's the same reason our universities keep churning out ignorant people. Or how do you explain that in this century, someone is still supporting the idea of turning a man into a goat because he made his complaints known by not prostrating before an Ooni who moves around in 21st century cars and lives in a 21st century mansion?

keneck1:
Hahaha theoretically it gladdens the heart of the politically naive,now let me even ask you what structure does he even have in his ward or even the ward were you are typing this theoretical politics from,anyway let me be frank with you sowore does not have what it takes to win a councillorship election i n his ward which translate that even in his ward he may come a distant third position when results of 2019 presidential elections are declared in his ward,if you doubt me ask people like Okoties of these world the likes of Pat Utomi,Dele Momodu and the rest of them.

I won't lie to u , sowore's possibility of being president isn't that high, true ,I mean if there had been an alliance with them moghalu and Femi then it would have increased dramatically but he pulled out.

and ur right AAC ( sowore's party) doesn't have a fancy big structure like PDP and apc

but u see i don't really care , all I want is a young leader that isn't from apc and PDP to vote for
I've stopped tryna be a seer, I'll just find someone and vote
and that is what everyone should be thinking , not tryna for see the future just vote for who u believe in and watch how things turn out


I've heard people say " I like sowore but I don't think he can win"
and I tell them just vote for him then whether u think he can win or not doesn't matter but the fact uve found someone u can vote for
afterall how would he even win in the first place if every of his supporter thought that way


so overall yes it right sowore might not become president, in fact the possibility of him not becoming president seems high right now but
do u like him to vote for him or not?

that is what u should focus on

What a load of steaming turd!

Can anyone tell me the importance/usefulness of Ooni in our current society apart from our love for outmoded and backward traditions?

oh so your tradition is not important? your traditional ruler are of no importance just because the white man came and forced their own system of governance and religion on us?

the way some of you reason is just baffling and shocking. no respect for tradition whatsoever.

you even had the effrontery to say that the number 1 king and cultural leader of over 50million yorubas worldwide is of no use and importance.

may God deliver you from this madness plaguing you

adex4me:
Do you know Ooni is not a God?
When you think as a king or tradition you do what you like with your fellow man, just because he express is anger.

I doubt if you are a Yoruba man. he's igbakeji orisa. he's oni'risa. he's the deputy to the gods and a god himself.


let's not throw out tradition away just because of the white man's system of governance and religion!!!

Austinoiz:
Afonjas and their stupid superstitious believes sef. So you people turn to goats periodically for not bowing to a fellow man.
You people are really Zone Bs.

we understand you ibos have to respect for elders and traditional institutions. that explain why a traditional ruler can get beaten mercilessly without any outrage.

http://www.informationng.com/2018/06/enugu-traditional-ruler-beaten-to-death-by-his-subjects.html

we also understand you are fond of waking your elders with sliding tackle.

pls keep your lack of respect for elders and traditional institutions in your region. thank you

edeXede:


Throne bought with money commands no respect.
Things has fallen apart and the center holds no longer.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sowore have indicting info about the king

uncle how did he buy the throne with money? was he not a prince? was it not the turn of his family to ascend the throne? were you there when he stole the throne with money?

may your mouth not kill you

marvinsync:


STFU!!!

no matter who u are u can't delay someone for a whole 3 hours!!! not even queen Elizabeth can be so arrogant

so because he is the ooni of Ife he now has the right to treat sowore like trash Huh?

if u make an appointment with someone u get there on time
its not just common sense it's courtesy and let's just say he wanna be fashionably late how can it be a whole 3 hours

I don't know if it's because I'm not Yoruba but I'd be very furious

respect is reciprocal!!

you are not Yoruba so I'm not surprised.

any Yoruba man with home training knows he should prostrate to elders and even roll on the floor for a king who is seen as a god in Yorubaland.

home training is not in your menu where you come from so your lack of respect is not shocking.

so sowore would have beaten the king of he didn't show up at all?

earnvest:
if only we lived on 'could-haves' and 'should-haves'. The most important question is, would an Atiku or an Obasanjo or even a Davido have been kept waiting for four hours (not three hours as the OP claims)? If the answer is no, is it because Sowore is a 'nobody' in the Nigerian scheme of things? Is it because the Ooni knew that there was no palm greasing accompanying such a visit? I bet if Sowore had left the palace after an hour of waiting, there still would have been an outcry, calling that he be changed to probably a chicken. A lot is not right about Nigeria and these traditional rulers have not helped one bit, or what have they done to change corrupt politicians in the country to goats and sheep?

the white man should just come back and start ruling you guys again since you've all decided to act foolish.

see you talking about palm greasing when there was nothing like that in the article sef. the way you jumped into conclusion foolishly is just shocking. were you there when politicians have the ooni money? you must think the king is a pauper like your father. for your information he's a billionaire!!!

if you won't respect a king just because you are on a faceless forum then I won't respect your father.

Antoeni:
I have said it times without numbers that it’s not the present crops of youths we have in Nigeria that will #takebackNigeria.
70%of them are products of broken homes, prostitution, cultism, yahoo yahoo fraud, certificate racketeering, exam fraud and drug addiction.
They are just too much in a hurry to get involved in materialism than knowledge, wisdom and understanding.
The arrogance and empty pride in Sowore is never an attribute of a good leader but a dictator.

thank you!!! the politicians now feel bigger than even the number one king on Yoruba land.

many of the fools ranting on this thread will have no problem waiting in an office for something to be signed for them or even for an interview of 40k job. they are just kids with no home training!!!

when I got posted to FMC I waited several days (at least 4hrs daily) to see the Hospital MD to sign my letter of posting. many of these kids won't have problem doing such.

who is sowore? even if the king is a ten year old kid sowore needs to postrate!!!

InvertedHammer:

What Sowore should have done is wait for Ooni to come in and then walk out as soon as he enters. The same Ooni that travels to US and UK and keeps to time. The other one with multiple wives was seen hanging around the gate of the Queen's palace in London. So much for their importance. God forbid I wait for anyone for 30minutes. We have to reschedule. No being is that important to me.

you see how some of you invite trouble into your life? something tells me you are just a teenager being fed by mummy.

you've never had to lobby for anything. you can't wait for anyone for 30mins? really?

CSTR1005:
Somebody waited for 3-4 hours and some people are saying he is not patient?

This nairaland is home to a lot of crazy people.

he was waiting for a god. we shouldn't throw our tradition away cos of Christianity and democracy.

I've had to wait several days for the MD of fmc before

traihit:


Well, I'm still surprised with the kind of responses I'm seeing here. What it takes to manage a country like Nigeria is more than the patience Sowore decided not to exercise with his visit to Ooni. If he failed to exercise patience that could have granted him favorable view from the traditionalists and the Africanists, where will he get the patience to lead Nigeria?
I learnt a similar lesson not quite and no matter how much you're wronged, you'd still be wrong if you refuse to repay wherever way you're wronged by doing the right thing. Sowore disrespected the whole Yoruba culture with what he did. How should we trust someone who has no respect for culture or modernism now means we should be blind to what belongs to us? I know the real Yorubas are on the streets and they'll never understand the fact that the Ooni delayed him. What they'll all say is "the man that has no respect for our culture".

thank you!!! glad I finally found a reasonable comment on the thread

Jaideyone:

He may be your god.

But he is not sowore's god obviously.

when you do not have respect for your own institution, how can you understand its importance? if it were to be in old United Kingdoms, he would have been beheaded. That was not African culture but whites. They fear the king, they honor their queen. Africans generally are puppets. put yourself in ooni's position and imagine this happening. what would you do? you are a fake lowly person.

Arkayn:


Why are Nigerians so freaking Stupid! You have a young , progressive, vibrant, intelligent candidate like Sowore, and you are here talking nonsense. Out of every candidate I have seen, Sowore cares the most about Nigeria and is not afraid to call out the failure and hypocrisy of the elites. But clowns like you want the Status Quo. If Nigeria continues on this rubbish path we are on, the country is doomed.

Who's this uncouth "born-throwway" , destitute of home training.?

You are following your father and mother's step, always cursing and abusing each other at every argument.

Imbeci.le like you, who are products of abusive marriage are not difficult to identify.

Useless slowpoke.

Sowore may be seen as the most intelligent in the slum you came from, but in our part of southwest, he still a learner.
You own father and mother are the stu.pid beings here for failing to give you home training.

I am sure you know I won't go down that road (the father-dissing road) with you. My father is doing okay for himself and is just fine. Read through what I wrote slowly and tell me that the Ooni did not delay Sowore because of his 'status'. I ask again, would an Atiku or a Saraki have been kept waiting for four hours? Search your soul and give me an answer.
On the spiritual powers of the Ooni, why has he not placed a curse on the bad leaders of this country? Sowore had visited the OAU in Ife earlier that day and the school was in a deplorable state - a powerful Ooni should be able to place curses on the people responsible for leaving the university in such a state. Heck, he should be able to say the word and change the school to a world-class institution.
When replying, leave my father out of your rejoinder and attack me directly

oh so you respect your own father but you find it easy to insult the traditional father of yorubas? something is definitely wrong with your brain.

yes I read your post and I was sincerely shocked why a sane human being will write with so much hate against the traditional stool. you definitely have no home training.

how can you label a king a beggar? you said he would have come early if it was atiku or even Davido that will grease his palm. really? you compared a whole king of 50m+ people to Davido and you want be to believe you were well brought up?

Upgrade yourself so that you don't have to wait on people who are full of themselves. You will never see me go to any office in Nigeria to look or ask for anything. I send agents if need be. You don't need physical presence for lobbying. Phones are not for social media alone. Time is precious.

Shoot your host a message, "it seems you are busy. Let's schedule for another time", then leave. It is their fault. They will respect you next time.

Hehe...you're really blowing a gasket without saying much. Again would an Atiku, a Saraki or a Davido have been kept waiting by the Ooni for 4 hours? Remember I've not even mentioned a white guest because we both know what the answer is. Waiting for your simple yes/no.
