he doesn't rule Ibadan there is Olu Ibadan of Ibadan the Imperial Majesty Oba Saliu Adetunji

see the limousine an oba is riding in the midst of poverty ridden people of Oyo town where students have to go on rampage because of the worsening condition of the secondary schools in the town . We are crying about the rising cost of dollars in the parallel market. why not.

African mentality in that context refers to is living like a demi god in power while those you rule languish in abject poverty.

I am appalled by the rate of tribalism and highly inaccurate comments to this post.

1 Most Yoruba kings have private businesses that generate enough income for them to maintain their lifestyle. I don't deny that they may enjoy donations from politicians and businesses.

2 The Alaafin does not rule "brown roof people" I'm assuming the person that said this was referencing Ibadan. Check again they have Olubadan, the Alaafin is based in Oyo.

3 Someone also said the British people pay taxes to fund the "ostentatious" lifestyle of the royal family. Please get your facts right, they don't.

4. A lot of us here complaining about the problem of Nigeria not moving forward bla bla bla. Check the comments in this post and you'll see we are part of the problem. Bunch of tribalistic and unenlightened people looking for how to pass blame around and cause trouble where trouble isn't

Please if you don't know something shut up and learn. Don't hide behind the anonymity of the internet to spew your un-enlightened tribalistic comments to the world

How exactly have they used their wealth and influence to bear on the populace? Have we heard of Alaafin's scholarship for students, Entrepreneurship centre or loans for petty traders?
What exactly does traditional rulers do apart from laze around all day and play with their 'irukeres' While the rest of us work our assess off every blessed day. Are they any better than us, or do they have 2 heads??
I don't think we should be blind about following traditions and all. It's only the Oni of Ife that has been working very hard to revolutionalize the traditional institution and for that, he has my respect.
