whatever you like do, but we are one here either Muslim or Christian, we are from the same source. we won't let fools like you use religion to divide and cause disunity among us. You are the one who need to be sensitized.

Venerable612:
I am from Iwo. But I wish they can scrap kingship. They are a waste of governments budget. People hailing him after spending fortunes passing time in Canada's Gucci stores.

The old believe that they hold the community together is now a cliché; we can do very well without kings now, or better still, reduce their entitlements.

verygudbadguy:


Well said.

My only objection is this; we talk about keeping our culture, our tradition, our values.. If we kill kingship, our culture will be thrown to dogs. They are ones upholding those traditions, those festivals...

We are who we are... I am Yoruba, omo dobale ka' agba.... I love my culture and I want my generation unborn to meet those values and morals I was trained with. How about you?

Venerable612:


Of course...culture is important. If you ask me, what defines us is our culture and family. Anything other than that is external.

I think Culture is about values and I see no values in having kings. I am very well sure you dont postrate everymorning to greet your parents anymore. I am sure a lady is not required to be a virgin before marraige anymore. How many things do you even know abt your values?

So what values do you want to pass to your xhildren? I have no problem with having kings. I have a problem with the huge amount of money we spend on them.

When I saw "Oluwo of Iwo....", I knew the person would be a Muslim.
Most (if not all) traditional rulers in Yoruba lands are Muslims.

Just like the FCSC batch A list for the South West was predominantly Muslim names.

Yoruba Chrisians have become second-class citizens in their own lands.

Yet, people in this region pretend like all is well.

NOTE: I am not trying to instigate anything here. I am only trying to sensitize some people to the injustices they are experiencing.

verygudbadguy:


I get your point.

I am married with kids, i want my daughters to wake up in the morning and not say yo' sup dad but kneel down and greet me. I was trained to have conscience and it is with me today. I was trained that money is good but not everything one needs. I was trained about love, respect, kindness, empathy, knowing God. I want all that passed to my children, grandchildren and great grand children.

I understand your point about the kings flashing their riches in the face of their subjects like they are everything. I don't dig that either. But I don't think these men became rich because they were kings. They became kings because they are wealthy and influential..
SLS, for instance was CBN governor, GMD of a bank, Philantropist before he became Emir.

Same with Alaafin of Oyo, Oni of Ife, Oluwo of iwo, Oba of Benin and Oba of Lagos... They were made men before they became kings.

Venerable612:


Oh interesting. Your kids are lucky to have you then, and I wish them all the best. I am glad that we share the same values.

Apologies for my extreme views... I just dont have much faith in the Nigerian system anymore. But if God tarries, things will become better.

I still remember my experience at Iwo, Lovely Town. I wished the 2 months didn't finished then.

LGA

Iwo omo olodo Oba.

amanikondo:


One of my experiences in Iwo was when I went to the barber shop and the barber cleaned up my hair with a swing of a clipper.
I now asked him why he cut my hair like that, he said he thought I was the son of Alfa Sule as he always skins their head like that.

Hemanwel:
Like I said before, you guys pretend like all is well. You are all saying all these just so that other tribes in the country will see you as tolerant people; but the Muslims are having the upper hand in your region.
Go to Lagos State Civil Service, you'll hardly see Christians - maybe 2 in every 7.
As for the FCSC batch A list, how come more Muslims were shortlisted in a region where we have almost an equal percentage of Christians and Muslims?
You guys should keep pretending ooh!
