A 26 year old Engineering undergraduate of the Middlesex University, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Alhaji Abubakar Kokia Atare Buba, has been turbaned the second Emir of Tula Chiefdom in Kaltungo Local Government Area of Gombe State.

He succeeds his father who died Sunday after a protracted illness. The new traditional leader was chosen out of the three contenders to the throne. Presenting the certificate of office to the new emir, Gombe State Governor Danjuma Goje, who was represented by the acting Secretary to the State Government Dr Sani Jauro said for peace to reign among the three ruling clans of Tula, succession would be rotated among the three heirs to the throne.

He said the late emir was the first to be appointed a third class emir in the chiefdom, adding that the principle of rotation would begin from the newly turbaned emir.

In his acceptance speech, Alhaji Buba appealed to his subjects to embrace peace, saying without unity, no meaningful development could be achieved. While fielding questions from newsmen, the new emir said he would not abandon his educational career in Software Management System Engineering.

This post makes sense if you think about it that way.

No, not really. Seeing as most Nairaland forumites are around the age of the new king, I thought some would relate to the story. We all have dreams and targets but ascension to a throne will definitely curtail those. The governor of CBN recently admitted he wants to be the king in Kano so there are people with this sort of aspiration. Becoming royalty comes with a lot of sacrifices , how many people are willing to forgo some privileges in order to be a king or queen?
