Where is Oba of Lagos? Olubadan of Ibadan? Alake of Egba land? I tot the article said the photographer toured the country and had all kingdoms, at least most respected. But all I'm seeing are pictures stolen from google image search. Anyway, nice try: 2/10 1 Like |

@solidbroda, You actually expect a British newspaper to run an article with embedded images of 100 Nigerian kings? George Osodi: Kings of Nigeria Source |

Stories of Nigeria's regional monarchs living in royal splendour can not be completed without the inclusion of the Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom, Oba Frederick Akinruntan. The dude reeks of opulence. It is on record that he has a custom built 2012 Rolls Royce similar to that of Queen Elizabeth II ... |

Nice work by George What do they actually do, these our 'kings'- But they continue to command great respect among their communities and wield considerable influence some of them are not even known to their subject- they dont exactly generate income for their immediate environment, just organise parties and wait for gifts from government |

Nightshift: Descendants of African slave merchants, shamelessly paying homage to their age-long trading partner ( the British monarchy) ; the joys of their heart clearly mocking the forgetfulness of African minds. Fam, not all African monarchs sold slaves and the few ones that did, live by the coast. I doubt any of the ones on here were involved in slavery. Also, do you honestly believe they actually sold the millions of slaves taken into the new world? If you believe that, then you will probably believe anything. Most of the slaves were kidnapped by the slave merchants. There were princes and princesses amongst those slaves. Topic: I absolutely love these pics. Where's the Ijebu monarch? We had one of the biggest kingdoms in the naija of yore. Heck, we're in the record books for having one of the wonders of the world looool. Also, I wanna see Nupe, Igala, Opobo and Ijekiri monarchs? Monarchs that reigned supreme when west africa had many kingdoms. 2 Likes |

@Shymexx, so you think that all those powerful African kings were not involved in selling their own people to white men? It's a historical fact that they were the real consumers of white man's whisky and schnapps, who like Oliver Twist , were asking and getting more by sending their army or gangs to raid and capture more people from villages for sale. You definitely do not understand, until you hear from those current monarchs about the exploits of their forefathers; or study history. Our mind for history is shallow, so our people prefer to avoid the bitter truth and move on. You are equally following a familiar step - the forgetful African mind! 1 Like |

Most of the comments on that dailymail site are derogatory. I don't know why Mr. Osodi thought it made sense to have a mediocre British tabloid that all sorts of unintelligent people comment on be the first place to exhibit his photography. Even the first line of the dailymail article itself is insulting these kings (their use of the word 'flunkeys' to refer to their attendants). Oh well, maybe he was naive. 2 Likes |
