Please guys its an assignment given to me. Reasonable points please.

It depends the only respected people with titles now like that are

1. the Oba of Benin
2. the Emir of Sokoto
3. we also have what we call Lamido (high chief) in Fulani society.

But these guys don't really have the same impact that they used to have in the olden days pre-colonization

In some places, the influence of the monarchy is still alive and strong. The Emir of Kano and the Caliph of Sokoto still play large roles in Northern affairs. The Oba of Benin is still very much relevant in Edo state, also. The Eze Aro, Obi Onicha, Obong Calabar, and Eze Nri are still big and influential men but nowadays they are mostly cultural symbols rather than political figures.

Fula man is right. Most of these guys don't have much power and what little they do have is only a fraction of what they had in the pre-colonial days.

Thanks guys.

Well said Odumchi.
I think the Oba of Benin is still very much a strong force to reckon with even in politics in the state.
