The elderly words of Obasanjo that I still hold on to

Prior to the 2011 election, while Gbenga Daniel was the Governor of Ogun State. Gbenga Daniel stepped on some toes in the party (PDP) and majority of the party members turned their back against him. Governor Gbenga was booed at the party rally.

Obasanjo who was on the other side of the divide against Gbenga Daniel cautioned the people at the rally against booing Gbenga Daniel. He said; In Yoruba land, two things are accorded utmost respect,
1) Position
2) Age


No matter how old you are in Yoruba, you must respect every traditional and constitutional status.

The same thing Obasanjo has done today, prostrating for the Oba. The same way he did to the Ooni of Ife immediately after his coronation, though Ooni was 40years then

Big fucking deal

Obasanjo is just a sly old crook bringing confusion to everything he touches. More than half the problems in Nigeria today were midwifed by him in furtherance of his own extremely selfish & shortsighted motives

People are saying Yoruba culture everywhere, Yoruba culture is richer than laying on the floor to me. I might be wrong here, is it the respect for monarchy? Or respect for elders?; If it is respect for elders, other tribes do it too, but maybe the unique thing, is the laying down. If it's unique to monarchs, then that is a perspective opinion. Igbos respect their elders too, audibly or through work. I have also seen people of various tribes, respect their elders.

I love all tribes. And am also proud to be an Igbo Nigerian without the worry of discrimination.

How far as Obasanjo gone in life?
The man is at loggerheads with most of his children and wives.

It a pity to see these remarks about Obasanjo from the same people that called him "the most detribalized Nigerian when he brought them out of dog house since the war.

He gave them exalted positions at the expense of Yoruba.

OBJ, see your life?

Even if it maybe eye service, it is a good one, despite his status & age unlike Tinubu who sits to greet Ooni of Ife at Oniru’s coronation, has no regard for traditional institution

Don't fail to add that the Yorubas are a thankful people. It's really commendable.

A Yoruba man can thank you forever for a good gesture you have even forgotten. That's a plus and I love that about the Yorubas too.

Noted but i have a question,why then did Oba of Lagos refuse to stand up for Oba of Ife when they meet or is he no longer an Yoruba man?

He's prostrating for the kingship in the man not the man himself. It's a Yoruba tradition and we do it every day.

Respect.

obasanjo had an issue with the traditional ruler of egbaland in the early 2000s that even resulted in obasanjo removing the traditional ruler and replacing him with someone he prefers.

Foolish idiots criticize what they do not understand. Even if the king was a 20 year old guy, a 90 year old Yoruba man would still prostrate to him cos that's the culture and what we call the OMOLUABI attitude. We know it is strange and also an abomination in your culture to bow or respect any elder let alone a king but please don't display your idiocy and absolute regards for other peoples' way of life in the public. We prostrate or kneel to our parents and elders, you wake your parents with scissors kick in the morning, the major reason you have no political leadership in the country other than to listen to someone that incites or brainwash you to commit suicide. Idiotic element
