2metrelaurie: I don’t know where you are from, but I doubt if you are yoruba person. If you are yoruba, you will not write that last statement The Yoruba kingship has history behind it historically the head of any yoruba kingdom. I however agreed that the current Nigeria system has bastardized the whole essence |

CAPSLOCKED: Before the government they were kings all over the country. From sultan and emirs in the north, to obi and igwe in the east and obas in the west. They were the authorities before the government and are well respected even by the colonialists after they were fought with superior weapons to surrender their kingdom to the ruthless British empire. The help sold their prosteges to slave trade when it was legal all over the world and A certain Alaafin fought for the stoppage of the act at one point. The Obas in the past have all paid their dues. The current ones are just enjoying the powerful impact and labour of their fore fathers. Mind you, the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth is a well respected figure not just in Britain but world over because of how her fore fathers conquered the world over including America. Boris Johnson must go to the Buckingham Palace to kiss the hands of the queen on every political visit to the palace. |

Sirwallace: The Obas in the past have all paid their dues so we should keep funding the expensive lifestyles of their offsprings just to enjoy eh? You all see what i mean now that us Nigerians like to defend our rights to suffer at the hands of our so-called "elders"? Do they bring in money from tourism and global influence like the Queen does? NO Boris Johnson goes to Buckingham palace ONLY for PROTOCOL, the Queen is just a FIGURE of the head of state. However, in Nigeria he would have to go kiss the hand of all the godfathers: at least 4 different kings, his Pastor, 4 other Pastors, 4 Imams, 2 Ex-Presidents, the ex-governor of his state and 20 different former senators. THE FEW WHO DONT BENEFIT THE COUNTRY ARE ENJOYING MOST OF THE PIE BEFORE THE CRUMBS GET DOWN TO THE PEOPLE. |

GoodBadandUgly: Lets not be hypocritical here. Kissing the hands of Obas and emirs dont guarantee success at the polls. The monarchs just like the queen are just figure head who are closer to the people than our councillors and local govt chairmen. And for your informations, from sweden, to the netherlands to Engiands, millions of Euros are Budgeted to run their Palace. |

Sirwallace: DO YOU KNOW THE DEFINITION OF GODFATHER? You missed the point of my whole post, go and read it all again with this in mind; I've been to all those countries, this is why I'm saying what I am saying. Nigeria's monarchy is full of kings, Pastors, Imams, Ex-Presidents, ex-governors and former senators. |
Re: Three Generations Of Ooni Of Ife And Their Rolls-royces (PHOTOS) by Sirwallace(m): 10:22pm On Dec 18, 2019 |
GoodBadandUgly: I get your point. Running our government is the most expensive in the world. But you funny bringing pastor to the discussion. Most people now know those ones are scammers. Ex presidents get pension in US that I can confirmed. The law of paying pension to ex governors started from one megalomaniac Godfather politician in Lagos. |

Sirwallace: Honestly your downplaying the gravity of what i'm talking about. Your comparing Nigeria to Europe and America whilst justifying the ongoing funding of several kings who don't do anything but be godfathers. Its a waste of money and expensive to be giving godfathers money just for being godfathers, especially when the country is never improving. Anyways you have the right to defend Nigerian godfathers. Note; Godfathers are not the same as forefathers. 1 Like 1 Share |

Also note that Oba Olateru Olagbegi 1 the late Olowo of Owo who was a contemporary of the late Oba Adeyemi owns exactly same model of the Rolls Royce during the same period with registration No : WQ1. He enjoys his children using it for wedding celebration. God bless the legacies of these Kings - who were revered |
