I have been waiting to know if the man that will be killed to bury that Alaafin that was on the run was later apprehended? Or the guy japa reach UK...


All these traditions in the SW is one of the reason why some of them are still primitive in nature..... Imagine someone telling me that because I've never been to Lagos then I am a local man.... I laugh wan kill myself .. She sees Lagos like some Dubai in Nigeria.... Lagos oh? Weh everybody the on auto-Mode....
If u get job u no go dey believe all this beer parlour gist. Abobaku is a myth

They say he has history and library in his head. How i wish, he can write them all down.

So if this man dies, all the history and library is all gone

He should have a successor/assistant who he's been training all these years to pick up where he will leave.

It's an interesting job, and one wonders how he has been keeping to his duties in the modern world.

I seriously doubt the part in bold.

Except you don't believe d entire story.
If he served for 77 years, how old do u think he was when he started his service. He must have been at least a youth in his 20s. So plus or minus he is close to 100 years

That question was very valid until you people started quoting the Op out of context and he fell for the prank.

Having served gods for that long, do you think that guy is still a mere mortal?

U are right...our people are after what they will eat and not what posterity holds.
That is why this generation and the ones coming up have no direction.
If u talk,they say u are old school and if u don't talk,they say u don't know how far.

duties and respect are two different things, people who run errands for my dad at work are way older than him, but they have to respect him cos he’s their boss. My dad also had to respect them while sending them on errand because he knows that they are older than him. That’s how it works, if they want to keep their job, else they be replaced. That’s what duties are all about, so don’t mix it with respect
