ARE WILL STILL  AMAZING THAT OYINBO MEDIA WILL DO EVERYTHING TO RUBBISH AFRICAN CULTURES.

THEY MADE US TO BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING AFRICAN IS OBSOLETE, ARCHAIC AND PRIMITIVE.

ENGLISH IS A ONLY LANGUAGE OUR CHILDREN KNOW HOW TO SPEAK, LOOSE DRESSES ARE  THE ONLY DRESS OUR GIRLS KNOW TO WEAR, MR.BIGGS ARE THE FOOD OUR GENERATION KNOW HOW EAT.

EVERYTHING AFRICAN HAS BEEN DEFACED.

REPORTS THAT AN AFRICAN OBA WAS DRIVING COMMERCIAL BUS OVERSEAS IN ANOTHER WAY OF RUBBISHING AFRICAN ROYAL INSTITUTION. WE NEED TO DISCARD THIS INFORMATION.

I BELIEVE IT IS A FALLACY.

I no no why this thing pain me sotey I decide to google the truth.

Idera is a populated place in kwara State.

Decision and Procedure about ascension to the throne of Oba of Idera, ldera-Okeoyan.

I.      The entire COMMUNITY of Idera-Okeoyan agreed that ascension to the throne of Oba of Idera shall be rotated among the following four groups of families:-

A.     OYAN and OLUPO

B.     JADUALA, OKEAPATA and ADESI

C.     IKOTA, OBIRI, ONIRE and EDIDI

D.     OKELA and IJA 0SI.

II.     Ascension to the throne of the Oba in our town shall not be restricted to one particular family at all, no single group of family shall retain the obaship title for ever. When an Oba dies, another Oba shall be chosen from another group of families.

III.     The community reserves the right to reject the nominee of group of families, if they are not satisfied with the choice, in which case the group of families could present another nominee.

IV.    In the event of disagreement within a group of families over who they will nominate for the title of Oba, the heads of the remaining groups of families shall mediate in the matter to settle it as fit.

V.    Nobody shall vie for the title of Oba except within his own group of families.

Chief R.B. Buraimoh v. Chief Maliki Adeniyi Esa & Others fought over this thrown to the extent of taking it to court. Please see link below for more info:

It is not about what the city or viallage cld offer him, this is about humility and taking charge of his life, it is about a man that is not tied to power like most of us do, mind u, every king in Nigeria are paid on a yearly if not monthly basis, they whow most of the lands and properties, so dont be fooled.
But i so much love his kinda person.

Re: Nigerian Monarch Driving Buses In New York by Epiphany(m): 2:02pm On Aug 29, 2008
Do we remember 'Coming to America'? That story may be one of fiction, but i think we should look at the morals.
Not everyone is interested in the monarchy. Some people want a simple, very simple life. If what they are doing can pay the bills, so be it.
He may not want to be an Oba of a small town, in which there is no electricity, water, good health care etc. He may not want to 'govern' people who are (forgive my words), 'illiterate' or 'villagers' or who still think the 'native' ways.
Allow the guy jare, he may be experiencing the kind of FREEDOM many in Nigeria - including the present monarchs -  are not experiencing
Re: Nigerian Monarch Driving Buses In New York by shawn123: 2:10pm On Aug 29, 2008
so whats so special about being an oba in Nigeria?? i have seen some oba's of small town that am sure most people leave better than, undecided , oba, abi is it not traditional ruler ?
Re: Nigerian Monarch Driving Buses In New York by chamotex(m): 2:18pm On Aug 29, 2008
Kini Big Deal?

Bus Driver is a well-paid job over here in London . . . . . . they make at least £2000 in a month minimum, excluding bonuses and other stuff. Convert that to Naira and its almost half-a-million. So the guy is making his P's jare. nothing do am. Is it not better off than being one of those thieving hooligan that steal and rule over people's land just because they are Kings?

With people who reason like this Nigeria will never grow. Patriotism where has it gone to?  Why would you refer to people as little or not significant just because they are poor angry

The Oba of Idera in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State lives in Nigeria.

Every tribe from Nigeria abroad appoints someone from their tribe living abroad with them to be their Oba or Igwe this is to enable them hold tribal meetings for those living in diaspora.  That might just be the case here. He is not an indigenous Oba from Idera in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Re: Nigerian Monarch Driving Buses In New York by Dapo4u(m): 2:29pm On Aug 29, 2008
What is this hype about someone making a decent living out of a decent job? Why don't we accept him for what he is rather than who he is.I would rather toll the path of honour and extol the virtues of Oba Buraimoh rather than let the demand of the society beclouds my sense of reasoning.If average Nigerians are like him, maybe Nigeria would have been a better place to live?

Don't just blab around. You might perhaps need to do a research on Africans and their culture.

The hype is about rubbishing African monarchs
The hype is about rubbishing everything African and making it look common and inferior.
The hype is about telling lies to paint Africa as a place where even traditional leaders who are suppose to hold the values of their communities not only leave these communities to do menial jobs in foreign countries as second class citizens but also deny their countries by taking up a different citizenship.
The hype is about everything the western media does to paint Africa and Africans bad.
We have Obas and Igwes in Nigeria doing everything to make their communities habitable why don't they write about those ones on the internet?


Oba means Leader, Ruler, King. It is a respectable title that has been passed from generation to generation with pride. It should not be rubbished by anyone not the people who are choosen by their people to lead them not by Nigerians and most certainly not by whites !!!angry angry angry

@ Dis Guy Idera is in Ifelodun Local Government of Kwara State.

I was surprise when I clicked on the link myself.

Used to live on the same street with the dude way back in Nigeria. Back then he was famously known as "Ladi the African Tiger"  and I remember watching him take on the likes of Michael Hayes, Ox Baker and some other professional wrestlers from the USA at the stadium in Ilorin.
