Politics now dominate tradition

That's our system of government, we are not practicing Monarchical System of Government

Maximum respect to sanusi. When he had issues with the govt he swallowed it fair and square and never lowered his dignity. Neither did he loose his pride.

When only anambra alone as small as it is have almost 100monarchs they position of kingship gets turned to errand boy role

johnjay4u2u:
lol

Monarchs get level.
You can't try this with some monarchs.

Low budget monarchs being on salary are just a waste of public funds just like government sponsoring pilgrimage.

What is their economic, environmental and social value?
It's on the negative side.
Most of these low budget monarchs oppress citizens, collect lands from the poor and fornicate even after marrying multiple wives.

Their usefulness is of no use in this generation.

All monarchs are under the state Governor, the military administrator of Sokoto state deposed the Sultan of Sokoto, Ganduje just fired Sanusi Lamido. The Oba of Ibadan had his kingdom divided into several Obas with staff of offices.
Oba of Benin reminds everyone daily that he is apolitical despite all the attempts to drag him into supporting one party or the other.
There is no untouchable monarch in Nigeria, the reasonable ones just avoid politics and play their traditional roles in their communities.

Gondonu:
Traditional leaders going stupidly partisan.

Traditional institution has been politicised. No more respect for them, they are at the mercy of the Governor.

Though it was wrong for them to have gone to Abuja without approval of the governor.

Iamdemola:


They shouldn't have gone to abuja in the first place

May be brown envelope is involved.

muchtalk:

Traditional rulers depend on the politicians for their upkeep.

Arthur Eze should go and create another kingdom for them since he has all the money to buy one state

Return d suv first den we can listen to u guys

Useless monarchs, begging for free money, monarchs used to be respected individuals in the society, they are made up of people that have made it in life,not political monarchs.

The governor should take punitive action against them to assert his control of the state.

There can't be two captains in a ship!

FORGIVE THEM because NOBODY IS PERFECT EXCEPT GOD

Yeye dey smell.... So Govt no dey fear gods again... The gods must be really crazy

Government has really make mockery of tradition.

You can imagine British prime minister suspending Queen Elizabeth

End time Monarchs

they should go back to their town to get their mandate some of them were not duly elected as the igwe in their town I knew some of them have been rejected in their own town but rather for them to step down they will be parading themselves as igwe enough is enough my able governor please do not listen to them.

I think when we restructure this country we will have to take this power away from Governors.

even oba of Benin can be dethroned by the state government and sent into exile and nothing will happen

no traditional ruler in Nigeria have successfully fought the state government and still remain in the throne .....Ask Sultan dasuki he will tell you

Stupid King! Calling the Governor "their Father"
Igbos have Suffered!
