So the Alake of Egbaland, Alaafin of Oyo, Oba of Lagos, Oba of Benin, Sultan of Sokoto, Emir of Kano etc are not authentic Kings?

Royalty do not grant interviews, especially in a foreign land.

I hope he was received by the Queen of the UK when he visited the UK and I hope she reciprocates the visit.

Thank you. Oba that goes to greet Obafemi Martins at home.

The official language in Yorubaland should be Yoruba. The official language in Igboland should be Igbo. e.t.c.

Initially you were making sense but with this comment i reached the conclusion that you are not intellectually sound, your mental capacity is a little below average..... Typical Igbo

Nice interview. But I wish he had worn a beautifully embroidered Aso-Oke, with his beaded crown. He would have looked more resplendent. All this white lace, chiffon & white satin, that he and his Olori seem to prefer, just does not showcase the regal beauty of the traditional royal attire expected from custodians of the royal stool.

I agree.
The crown most especially. Is that even a crown?

But please stay more at your palace than outside. You need not travel hundreds or thousands of kilometres to be interviewed by Clinton News Network (CNN).

And please when you do return, ensure that those Yorubas currently being detained by Buhari's mad dogs over the crisis in your domain, are released. You also need to win the trust of your subjects (Yorubas).

If being pro-Nigeria will make you become anti-Yoruba, you need to be 'anti-Nigeria'. You can't be taking side with the likes of Aregbesola who is from Ebira land or a mallam from Daura at the expense of the Yoruba race. Your silence on the arrest of Yorubas in the recent crisis in Ile-Ife is deafening and you should ask yourself if a true 'Arole' will watch as those he's meant to protect are being killed on their own soil.

K'ade o pe l'ori, Arole O'odua.

You might not believe this but Yoruba is ready for war.

I mean this with all seriousness.

Ever since the ile-ife incident, Yorubas have been arming themselves, waiting for any possible reprisal from the north.



Nigeria is at the edge. A rash action can tip it over.

Imagine the amount of foreign exchange this Ooni squanders on each pointless trip abroad

These Yoruba monarchs like groove and travel pass anything that is why no one respect them. Do you see Olu of Warri or the Oba of Benin or the Monarchs from the east gallivanting everywhere. Least respected monarchs in Nigeria

These excuses you have has been around for over 100 years. This's why I said "it's time to come out of the box".

Vietnam has changed it's" official language" for French to Vietnamese.

Thailand has changed it's "official language" from English to Thai.

Malaysia has changed it's "official language" from English to Malay.

Indonesia has changed it's "official language" from English to Indonesian.

In 1362, England changed it's "official language" from French and Latin to English.

Only fools would maintain a status quo because it've been accepted for long. Again, it's time to come out of the box.

I see.

So you who are the smart one, tell us, which language should Nigeria adopt as here lingua franca?

Yoruba? Igbo? Or Hausa?

May your reign be long.

Be quiet there. All these so called Monarchs do is travel and attend weddings/parties and sell Asoebi and marry. No-one respects them. Let them be deceiving themselves and people like you. Making mockery of the revered Monarchy system in Nigeria

You are ignorant of Yoruba customs and traditions especially what an Oba wears outside his place.

When you become the Ooni of Ife, you can lock yourself up in the palace and be waiting for visitors to come and greet you, or wait for tourists to come and stare at you like a museum piece.

But until then will you STFU!!!

No, we shouldn't abandon our native languages. The official language in Yorubaland should be Yoruba. The official language in Igboland should be Igbo. E.T.C.

Pidgin English is a creole language and its an African creation. It's not a white man's language. Of course, western authority over your mind makes you consider Pidgin as inferior to English language.

I think you should maintain decorum first. your useless senators representing your constituencies that's spending the tax payers money abroad. how many times have u condemned them?

monarch is a social representation of a particular region. this is not a form of govt. you don't expect such young king to sit down in the palace just as your normal chorus olu of warri. everyone has their choice

the president left Nigeria for some weeks, what do u say about his absence that's making people to commit suicide due to his leadership negligence

you youth leave priority things for unnecessary things. smh

So If the above is true, then who's going to speak the pidgin then?

Pidgin English is a creole language and its an African creation. It's not a white man's language. Of course, western authority over your mind makes you consider Pidgin as inferior to English language.

Pidgin is a corruption of the original language. It is not exactly a new language as such.

It is spoken by the less literate and those of the lower stratum of the society mostly.

Are you saying that this is what our children should be taught in school?

Let me tell you a little about the English language you adore.

When two languages collide something called a creole language evolves. That's exactly how English language itself evolved!!. Pidgin English is a creole language originating from collision of European's and our languages. Today, Pidgin is a language in its own right like Jamaican Patois and many other creole languages.

For your information, Britain was also mostly colonized by Germans, French, Spaniards, Rome, within the 4th-5th century AD. During their time of slavery they also spoke a mixure of English and the other languages of their captors. But, once they regained their freedom, they banned all foreign languages in the entire British isle, and adopted their native English language (which was then 40% local and 60% foreign language) just as Pidgin is today. The year was 1362 and it was only then that English became an official language. Therefore, what we learn today as English is just a standardized creole language like Pidgin!!.

When our eyes open to our stupidity, we will ban English in our lands and pay attention to our native languages. Many Asian nations who were also colonized had already made that change, as I said earlier.

My people, open your eyes!. English was not originally an official language!!. It became an official language only in 1362!!!.
