Shouldn't that Iwo monarch be the next one to be dethroned and banished to China? The oba is a jaguda.

I agree.

He should be dethroned and sent away.

Oba of Benin was never detroned he was taken to exile while in exile he was still the king of Benin people until after his death the Benin people mourn his as their king before crowning his son
Dethroning does not necessarily mean another must be crowned.
Once you're a king and you're forcefully taken out of your kingdom, my brother that's called dethronement!

I understand u guys are trying so hard to cover up for him Shah!

Dethronement is okay but BANISHMENT IS COLONIAL MENTALITY.

Banishment should be jettisoned in a democracy.

All Kings are subjected to politics; even the Oba of Benin.
But the write-up left something important out. To the Benins, he was still the Oba of Benin. Only just in exile. He was never replaced on the throne. It was impossible. The crown prince only became Oba in 1914 after Oba Ovonramwen passed on in Calabar. In most other places, his brother, cousin or even his son would have yielded to the British desire to be a puppet King. Not in Benin.

There was a serious war on Twitter yesterday in regards to this issue. I dedicated a lot of time yesterday reading about every recognised King in Nigeria. Oba of Benin was for sure dethroned!

They should just accept that fact!

For those saying that the Oba of Benin can never be dethroned, I hope you have seen that one has been dethroned before.

Benin people are good at witchery and witchcraft, but they are not the most powerful witches or wizards in the world. Even those in government have their own witchcraft. "A dịghị agba aka arị ọji"

Ordinary girl or boy in the Street may have more powerful juju in her or his possession than Benin palace.

So if any king do anyhow, he go see anyhow.

Na before kings go collect another man's wife and nothing go happen.
you cannot dethrone who you never i nstalled, those who where dethroned where planted by political means!

The Case of AKURE makes it clearer. The GOVERNOR acted on the Wishes of The People. Mimiko didn't dethrone until the people asked him to do so. Traditional Rulers are Representatives of God on Earth and God's Trustees for the Land, Language, Tribe,.Time and Tongue they represent.
The British applied Colonial Rules to the cases in which they got involved with NIGERIA.
Awolowo saw far into the Future what others around him, including Azikwe couldn't see. He had the opportunity to prevent undue Advantage being taken of his YORUBA TRIBE and he ceased it like a Master.
Current Cases of Emirs' Dethronement leading to the present WIP are resultant Bastardization and Violation of the people of NIGERIA's Fundamental Rights.
The Federal Constitution divorced Traditional Rulers from Land Control and handed such Controls over to Governors who were then wholly Military. Ganduje now acting "GANG UP CHOP N CHOP" HOOLIGANISM with Traditional Rulers is an extension of some borrowed Military Prowess.
GANDUJE has not behaved like Mimiko. So let the case go to Court.
The People hire their Traditional Rulers. And only the People can fire their Traditional Rulers.




Grant Full Autonomy of Police, Resources and Elections Control to the 37 legit States of NIGERIA and all Problems will be done with.
Well said, maybe same thing should apply to the that yahoo king of Iwo

I have always wondered why we still have all this monarchy system in Nigeria, even though we operate under Democracy. Democracy is an illusion, but that a topic for another day.

Then it came to me, this monarchy is kept because of politics, the government need a figure head to convince there people to vote for them! If not I don't see any use of the System if it can be influenced by the Government. But unfortunately we as the Citizens don't care! Even though the system makes us tribalist among one another.

And Obi of Onitsha is not there, meaning their king the Obi of Onitsha has never been dethroned since it began in mid 16th century.
I think the present king Nnaemeka is the 21sth King of that kingdom.

In the real sense Igbo's were people with no king, all these obi's igwe's was forced upon us by the colonial masters in order to control the Igbo's easily the Yoruba's , northerners had powerful kings that were worshiped by their people making it easy for them to be colonized it took 30 plus years to colonize the Igbo's

Don't get me wrong bro. Onitsha is simply a part of Igbo land.
Meanwhile, Igbo in general is a tribe of its own, and we do not have a king that rules over us!
