They have powers and responsibilities. It's just that, like every other Nigerian politician and political appointee, they have become irresponsible and they continue to get more irresponsible.

In SW, the only thing kings know how to do is sell hectares of land containing farms and hamlets to churches. Unfortunately, these poor people have no voice.

Things are going south for Nigeria.
