Maybe he was too "lawful", and would not tolerate any slight of the superior democratic authority by lesser traditional/cultural authority.

Eventually, the lesser in physical law proved to be the powerful in metaphysical realm.

A Lesson on humility to learn from the story of Bode Thomas...

Bode Thomas, yes, the same Bode Thomas, whom the Surulere street was named after, died on Nov 23, 1953 in a most mysterious manner.
Bode Thomas was born to a wealthy trader, John thomas in 1918. Himself, FRA Williams and Remi Fani-Kayode (Father of Femi Fani-Kayode) attended Law School in London, and they established the first law firm in Nigeria, called "Thomas, Williams and Kayode".The law firm was established in Jankara, Lagos.
Bode Thomas was an excellent lawyer, but he was also very arrogant. Because of his education, he was made chairman of the Oyo Divisional Council at one time, while the King of Oyo, Alaafin Adeyemi, (the father of the current Alaafin) was a mere member.
On Bode Thomas' first appearance in council after being appointed chairman, all council members stood up for him in deference, to welcome him, except Oba Adeyemi, who, for cultural reasons, should not show deference to anyone in public, not even his mother.
Bode Thomas rudely shouted at the King"...WHY WERE YOU SITTING WHEN I WALKED IN? YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHOW RESPECT?"
At that time, Bode Thomas was 34 years, while the Alaafin was in his 60's. The Alaafin felt very insulted. He said "SE EMI LO NGBO MO BAUN?" (Is it me that you are barking at like that?)Bode Thomas responded by shouting some english sentences which the Alaafin didnt understand, so the Alaafin just told him... "MA GBO LO" (continue barking). The confrontation happened on November 22, 1953. Bode Thomas got home and started barking.
He barked and barked and barked like a dog all night until he died in the early morning of November 23, 1953.
Bode Thomas was the Balogun of Oyo. So, when next you drive on Bode Thomas street in Surulere, remember that man, who cut short his own life because of his arrogance and naughtiness.

Yeah it is a legendary story. Thot it happened in Lagos. Bode Thomas thought he was too rich and educated for all dt jargon. He died d next day after the incident.

The barking cld just be added hearsay but no one has any doubts d Alaffin killed him.

The fact that the average Nigerian you narrate this nonsense to will believe it, and even mock and ridicule and insult you for your skepticism is why I believe in racial intelligence classifications which asserts sub-saharan Africans have the lowest IQ in the world. No wonder it is left for a Norwegian atheist woman to come to Akwa Ibom to rescue kids who have been cast out by their parents and communities as witches. We are further down the evolutionary tree as humans than other groups. Sad, but true. grin

He insulted the Alaafin ; he died the next day.

1. the two incidents may not be connected

2. He may have been poisoned to send a message

3. It does not have to be voodoo;

If this was true, what other things, I mean positive things, did the Alaafin do with that his local technology for the good people of Oyo state?
Norrin?
Okay, the technology is just for havoc, pain, sorrow, dread, death, sickness and. ..

The owner of albino (alaafin) couldn't use his powers to change the brown roof over his head
the brown roof signifies the days of our forefathers, go to the palace of ooni of IFE or olubadan of Ibadan despite the fact that they are modern palaces u will still find brown roof there.its not that they don't have money to renovate n refurbish it but that's how it is. u people call us brown roof republic but u don't know that those people whose parents own d brown roof are multimillionaires but u dare not demolish it. go to north u will find it, go to south u will find it but u can't find it in south east because they fought war. had it been there was no war u will find it there. so I guess u understand now
