Since the picture was taken before 1960 it's obvious he had no choice but to attend. The British had to keep constant check on their colonies and one good way to ensure this was inviting appointed indigenous rulers in a bid to show their subservience to Her Majesty. I'm very sure from the same source one can get pictures of Nigerian rulers representing majority of ethnic groups which produced resources of economic importance to the British. This is not something to celebrate. If anything, to me, it's a shame from our colonial past. 1 Like 1 Share |

Chipappii:Judging by your approach I can see that you are ladened with inferiority complex. The suit you're talking about is part of their dressing culture, learn to appreciate and cherish what you have not gloating on other people's........it's people like you that helped foster slavery back then, you'll be given mirror for 100 able bodied men and gullible as I presumed you could have been you would have seen it as class just like you're seeing suit as class over the traditional attire.....YOUR SHALLOWNESS IS APPALLING.
