You don't have a good grasp on culture & tradition. Some chose to respect it, while others don't.

These same governors and even Obasanjo (former president) bowed before the current Ooni of ife.

lalasticlala:
Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi who paid a visit to the new Olu of Warri, Tsola Emiko was pictured bowing down for the monarch.



Why are many top politicians visiting this man? Could it be because of 2023? Is he that powerful?

Terrence99:


Obasanjo that came to prostrate, is he also an Apc member?

cocolacec:

Olu of warri is a Yoruba king.

You domnt seem to have a grasp on intelligence otherwise you would understand what I am saying and would not infer from what I wrote that that i have no grasp of culture or tradition.

Let me spell it out to you. Our current laws have made a mockery of our institutions. You clearly do not understand the laws of Nigeria and the staus of Kings in Nigeria UNDER the LAW. neither do you seem to understand why it became that way.

This is one of Awolowo's dark legacies and it was all about winning elctions in the Western region...thats how it started.

I have not said it is wrong to prostrate. We have humiliated our traditional institutions and turned our kings into beggars and then we go and prostrate before them...who is fooling who? BTW dont let me start on the current Ooni.

perambulator:
Nigeria is a funny country. Behind the king is a picture of the current governor (by law his boss). By law every King needs permission of the local govt chairman before he can leave his Kingdom. A local govt chairman is a boy to a governor, A governor can dethrone a King and here is a Governor (of another state) bowing down before a King under the guise of tradition.


who are we fooling? We really have messed ourselves up.

This the same question I was about to ask

Let satan just enter that man holding sword behind him

Mikecold:
After oba of Benin it's like olu is the next in south south

Waiting for the tribe where their Kings get disposed on exile like shit by governor to speak

salem1996:


Well, the difference is, a king's reign is not limited to four years while the politicians have limited time. If the politicians behave anyhow, after four years it's gonna be another thing so their office is not so reliable in term of power but for the monarch, it is almost a lifetime something. Governors are under the kings in most cases except in Nigeria where almost every strata is a corrupt one. I think this and some reasons are part of the bowing down.

inoki247:
I don't even understand Nigeria again sef someone Local Govt chairman big pass...

"Attache by Force"!?

MAURI:


Thank you for this. They are fooling Africans with their show of shame. Since they know Africans are suckers for emotional institutions. This young man who has lil or no constitutional power. Same goes for religious leaders. Educated people who you would expect to be very sensible and have simple sense, immediately it comes to emotional institutions like Obas or religious leaders, their brain stops functioning. And the small elite group oppressing the rest know this. That is the reason they all are exhibit this show of shame without any iota of shame. Same Oba they are all going to bow to, whenever he says anything in support of his people or against the suffering being meted out to his people by these politicians, they ignore him. So what is the essence of all this? Additionally, they will compromise the so call Oba too and he will join as additional tool of oppression on his people. Their bait na a few Roll-Royces and some contracts. And the status quo continues. Yeye dey smell.

Thank you!

I will be be sure not to chat with you in the future on this forum, since you cannot have a discussion
without throwing insults. I chat with decent civilized people.

And by the way, it is spelt don't, not "domnt"

Before throwing insults, always check your grammar and sentence mechanics.

Have a good life!

But at the same time kings can b removed e.g Deji of Akure, Sanusi Lamido....

Stop quoting me please. Move on and be happy.

I am a high caliber person; I am not a street tout.

You can tell one by how they conduct themselves.

Have a great life!

Rugaria:
This one Yoruba leaders are flooding warri to bow down to anybody in traditional regalia, are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?

Sophisticated treachery again!?

First Obasanjo, then Sanwo Olu now this one! Show me you are a land grabber without telling me you are a land grabber?
