I'm sorry its not Sultan of Sokoto nor Emir of Kano, cause history has shown that Heads of State and Governors do over thrown them at will. I go for Ooni of Ife & Obi of Onitsha. They don't step on people territory and pilot the affairs of their kingdom with much respect and humility. 1 Like |

The most powerful monarch is His Imperial Majesty Sultan Sokoto the head of Fulani Empire and the Chairman of the traditional rulers council President Buhari is a subject under the Sultan by tradition Buhari is also head of the APC This puts the Nigerian military and police which consists of mostly Northerners under the Sultan I desire to add Baba Sango is respected as the unofficial king of kings and would normally be seated as the Chairman of the traditional rulers council The Alaafin of Oyo Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyemi III is still the descendent of Sango who is Nigeria's greatest king The Yorubas under Gani Adams have the powerful army of Oyo and the furious Ogboni Igbos are Hebrews and have kings, lots of manpower and are very industrious How these powerful forces work together for a progressive Africa Atiku would make a great National Tax collector since he was the tax police chief before Atiku is a Northerner he must work with Buhari and help his people before Yorubas take presidency in 2024 One national party should be the goal of restructuring towards an Islamic state ruled over by the Tradional Rulers Improve your strength Nigerians and don't divide Collect taxes from foreigners corporations operating in Nigeria Collect taxes from Churches Mosques and all NGOs operating in Nigeria Use this money to build up more manpower and advanced technology in the military and police Contract more security forces The woman is sacred 1 Like
