Are you crazy .Has Obasanjo ever entered white house .You know what it takes to get there ?/don't let me slap u

What is in White house? The late military governor governor of Bendel and Kwara State used to visit White house during President Clinton regime like it was his backyard. In one instance he went to White house with our parish priest (Rev Father) in Benin.

That's just a former governor, what about an Iroko like Obasanjo? White House that Beyonce and JZ go to everytime.

What do you mean? Obasanjo has entered white house countless times, what the heck? Obasanjo has even hosted 3 different United States president right here in Nigeria. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George Bush. No other Nigerian president has ever hosted any.

If I told you this was a sign of our backwardness, would you believe? If I told you these people are in the way of Nigerian integration as one nation, would you believe? I won't even try. It requires a lot more preparatory knowledge to even have an idea. We think this monarchy is our own thing, unique to Africans. Lol. I laugh. Down with backwardness. Up with Republicanism. Up with societal progress. An adult can't keep eating from a feeding bottle simply because he used to do it some time ago!
monarch you say?, that so funny the King isn't an absolute monarch, that why we've in government Delegated Legislature:- break down of legislative power into subordinates e.g ministries, public corporations, and ecetera. Mind you the most republican and federal culture in Nigeria is from the yorubas, because the yorubas does what we call check and balance of power even when it said that a king is a sovereign there are limitations to is authority!.

The Ooni's father is still alive, he has to prostrate to his son when he comes to the Palace

His mother is deceased (May she RIP). If she was alive, she will kneel down until her son tells her to rise.

To all intents and purposes, he is no longer their son but their spiritual head ordained by the gods of our land

Anywhere I see him, I will prostrate flat and not stand up until I'm told to do so

Culturally, It's a good custom. But Biblically .....''........thou shalt not bow to them, nor serve them'' That was the first commandment of God. My opinion tho, No offence to the Yoru tribe. Y'all have my kudos...
Biblically, honour your father and your mother that your days may be long on the land your Lord God give unto you ....?.
Re: Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Ooni Of Ife! by Smooyis(m): 8:24am On Feb 06, 2016
Because the Ooni of Ife bowed before the living God, King of kings, then all men shall be made to bow before him.

What obj did publicly confirms the new oni went through a proper initiation to be the king.

God is the king of Kings. A proper Yoruba king however is very powerful spiritually, he has control of the unseen coordinators of Fire, water, air and land. These kings go through things that make them transcend to the point where heaven and earth meet. No ordinary human can transcend there spiritually and return to earth.

This is where the celestial decisions are taken.

ooni na air bender plus fire bender plus earth bender plus water bender? just asking

The Yorubas have such rich cultural heritage. I must admit I envy them a lot in this regard.

While Christianity the White man religion is gradually wiping the Igbo tradition. They now foolishly call their own tradition dark SMH

According to Chinua Achebe, this one of the things that affect the greatness of yoruba as they are limited by cultural kwekwem. For igbos, they fear no man or gods.
Re: Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Ooni Of Ife! by Torenzi: 9:18am On Feb 06, 2016
He who kneels before God; would stand up before any man. When Oni knelt down before God in the church; some people were complaining. Now, you can see; a whole obasanjo kneeling before Oni.

he isn't prostrating for his son, he is respecting the royal throne that has been there for ages.

Taaa Igbo's worship money. I lived there for over a decade and I know more of their culture. who ever said Igbo fear no man is economical with the truth. emulation is better than jealousy. learn from this post to respect constituted authority.
