ShymmexLion:

STFU!! You're a fvcking swine and a prick!!

Is the queen better than the man? - you fvcking ignorant ape!!

Your dad should have busted the nuts that made you in ya mum's mouth, to be honest... I bet that's his only regret in life, no??

Abobi go jab and pay ur bills before U begin yarn okpata!!...no be you dey cry for the other post say UK bills don finish U?? Mumu

Go meet BlueArrow or Brookstreet for Highstreet make dem give U extra shifts...Ewu

If a royal monarch could showcase himself in this oufit, then it's something. Though the attire may no more meet up with recent outfits.

All u haters badmouthing d oba's attire, why don't you upload pics of ur traditional rulers with their attires, if they won't look like glorified native doctors.

Symphony007: I would have loved to hear what prince phillip had to say about the oba's dressing cause when he was in nigeria in 2003 with the queen and he saw obasanjo with his long flowing agbada at the airport, he exclaimed. "mr president, you look like you're ready for bed".

Symphony007: in case you don't know. As of that her visit, she was still queen and commander in chief of nigeria so she takes precedence over every other person in the country.

And what is wrong with him bowing to a woman? Nigerians and our degredation of women.

They are both royalty in their own rights and one had no business bowing to the other..

It has nothing to do with her being a woman.

Okija_juju: That Oba is a Biitchass!!

Why is he bowing to the Queen?!

He even left his palace to meet her at the Airport?!

She is shaking him with her gloves on sef!!

Yet his foolish Grandson would not even come out to see the President?

Policewoman: IS the Oba prostrating? I thought Obas don't step out of their palaces?

the fact that the Queen recognizes the Oba's status tells how much Respect and swaggz he gat over Nigeria itself.... as at that time.

Oba's don't leave, their palaces. but this is a very rear Occassion.

Oba Akenzua 2

Well Queen Victoria (great-grand mother of Elizabeth) won the war of 1897 against Oba Ovonramen (this Obas's Grandfather). At least the Binis, The Opobos and a few others fought to preserve their Freedom/Kingdom/Empire. Many others chickened in. To know when you have been defeated is part of being a brave man.

THe Binis didn't sign their freedom away without a brave fight like many others.

Once they won the war, they became the boss.

Oba Adeniji Adele of Lagos also went out to greet Queen Elizabeth with Okotie-Eboh (a British stooge then in attendance). That's where we still are till now despite our on-paper-independence.

If you know a little about Bini history, that the Bini Monarchy survived the war of 1897 and exile of Oba ovonramen to calabar shows the resilience of the Bini People/monarchy. The struggle with London to re-establish it was epic. They wanted to thwart a key African heritage. A simple courtsy for a woman who was head of State/Queen of over 50 countries at the time is a small price to pay.

Well I don't expect you to know that, not with the quality of Nigerian education over last 20 years.

that was 120 years ago. nowadays, they spend more days in England and US than the people they rule over.

Okijajuju, always on point!!
From the traditional angle,i stand to be corrected though, i thought a king(Oba) wasn't supposed to bow to a woman?

A whole Oba bowing for her slaveship
The late Jaja of Opobo would not!!!

At the time this picture was taken (1956), the Oba of Benin was a subject of the Queen.

We were all techically slaves, King's, Queens, commoner and all, colonised by them. Why do you think we fought for indipendence? You think we did it just to do owambe?
Maybe you guys would appreciate our independence more now.

By the way, it's wrong that Oba don't bow to a woman. In Benin, Iyoba (Queen Mother) is a big position. Before 1897, she even had her own standing army. That festac mask is that of a Benin Queen Mother. Queen Idia of Benin was a very powerful Queen ma'am, who even commanded her own army at the war front.

Jaja and Oba Ovonramen would not....that was over 60 years earlier. We had no idea just how militarily mighty the British were then. We know the price both paid for their bravery.

Looks like he must also stink under all those rags
