Most regard and respected is Sultan of Sokoto cos he also doubled as the spiritual leader of Muslims in Nigeria. They dictate officially when Ramadan will start

Likewise any other traditional ruler.

So, I don't know what makes any of them more powerful, since they can only.be recognised in their region.

Is this in the state constitution?
Just asking.

The most powerful monarch is His Imperial Majesty Sultan Sokoto the head of Fulani Empire and the Chairman of the traditional rulers council


President Buhari is a subject under the Sultan by tradition

Buhari is also head of the APC


This puts the Nigerian military and police which consists of mostly Northerners under the Sultan


I desire to add Baba Sango is respected as the unofficial king of kings and would normally be seated as the Chairman of the traditional rulers council

The Alaafin of Oyo Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyemi III is still the descendent of Sango who is Nigeria's greatest king


The Yorubas under Gani Adams have the powerful army of Oyo and the furious Ogboni


Igbos are Hebrews and have kings, lots of manpower and are very industrious

How these powerful forces work together for a progressive Africa

Atiku would make a great National Tax collector since he was the tax police chief before


Atiku is a Northerner he must work with Buhari and help his people before Yorubas take presidency in 2024

One national party should be the goal of restructuring towards an Islamic state ruled over by the Tradional Rulers

Improve your strength Nigerians and don't divide


Collect taxes from foreigners corporations operating in Nigeria

Collect taxes from Churches Mosques and all NGOs operating in Nigeria

Use this money to build up more manpower and advanced technology in the military and police Contract more security forces


The woman is sacred

If your cultural power can be projected internationally
Then that where power is

Give it to emperor Ooni of ife of yorubaland
Godking Protector of the Caribbeans

Live long the Ooni of Ife


Yoruba power in Carribean comes from the Sango religion


It was the only complete and intact religion from Yorubaland that propelled Yoruba culture outside of Nigeria

Sango is worshipped in 42 nations
