Whosoever put that Emir Palace must be a Born-to-Rule muhammadic mentalist. This is why this country is in turmoil because some people think that they are the LandLord of the nation while other tribes are tenant. Why must you put that usel€ss Emir Palace to establish Hausa political dominance? Is it because you think that Obi of Onitsha's Palace is not useful; that Alafin of Oyo's Palace is not important; or that Asagba of Asaba's Palace is inconsequential etc. Just name it. Useless Post

the op is correct, not even one is out of the country. All the pictures are authentic. Just try move out of your hole to FCT and see for yourself the work and product of ND oil, while their land is messed up.

I never said the other traditional leaders are useless or not important like you are insinuating. I don't even know why you are bringing that up or where you got the idea from. I'm Sorry to disappoint you but I don't entertain peeps with disgusting tribal bigotry. Move Aside..

see how this aboki imported his mud hut into this list. Fool. So the Emir or Kano's dungeon is more powerful than the Nigerian stock exchange? When kwankwaso was picking an emir why not list his own house as more powerful and the Emir of Kano's dug-out?

Wait lemme get this straight.... How is a building said to be powerful?
Is it by the structural design of it?
Or by the amount spent in building?
Or the function it is used for?
Or perhaps d people dat inhabits it.
I really don't know the basis of classifying these buildings as Powerful buh wah i know is some buildings shouldn't be on that list...BTW, why are most of the buildings located in Abj?
