Nigerian kings lost their power bcs they involve themselves I politics, they do collect contracts from the government and won't do it, they have useless themselves by involving in politics...
That is the reality on ground. The traditional rulers are supposed to be father to all at any time but not politicians. Unfortunately, these days traditional rulers want to combine these two functions, thereby putting themselves in conflict with the politicians who have the real constitutional power

It is all about the denigration of who we are as a people, and you have a choice to allow it or not to allow it. You do not politicize an identity and culture of a people. It is one of the reason, the black people we ever, may remain in what l chose to call - "lbivio" to be or not to be, which is the question.
The colonial master do not care about your identity and your culture, you got to know that.

That's just the way it is.

Incompetent lots we have.

Just like the Paracetamol and Antibiotics Doctors we have. Any ailment, you must use paracetamol, antibiotics and blood tonic. Standard cure for all ailments. Even for HIV
grin grin grin You made a valid point. The doctors have all left the country. It the doc. that is remaining.

And some people are celebrating this devaluing of our traditional monarchs , which are like the symbolic embodiment of our culture and cultural identity. It's as if some block-heads learnd nothing from our loss of ability to speak our mother tongue and the colonisation of our very beings by adoption of foreign names.

It's a crime of the highest order and an indictment of our
Intelligence level if in today's world we learn nothing about the importance of jealously guarding what remains after the rape of our cultures that diminished us so.

Nigeria is actually the Giant of Africa because of our culture. In Nigeria is concentrated the most evolved,diverse, intact, adapted examples of African heritages surviving. Nigeria is nothing if not her cultural heritage. Black nations full of men and women in western suits, eating western foods, speaking predominantly western languages, dreaming a Western future all informed by an absences of primordial influence are a dime a dozen . They add nothing to the human story and wouldn't be missed if wiped from
the earth.

Same way the Chinese are the one constructing our major roads as if we have no engineering graduates from the country.

A lot is wrong about Nigeria
U take Chinese loans and u don't want their companies and citizens to work in ur country?
Loans everywhere in the world come with conditions.
The only difference btwn us and Chinese engineers is the deep sated distrust and disdain they have for blacks worse still for "teaching " blacks
