The man they thought was Igbo

But he's as fearless as an Igbo man!

The OP obviously misinterpreted baba. Baba said there's no oba that should stand up for president or governor no matter what. That's what he said.

Can he tell the Oba of Benin or Sultan of Sokoto to stand up and greet him? Arrant nonsense

He is the biggest Yoruba leader
Apart from Gowon who was his boss,
He was a boss to Tinubu, Buhari, Goodluck, IBB, Abdulsalam etc

After una go say Yoruba people get respect.

This arrogant man has a poor sense of history. Has he forgotten the story of Oba Adeniran Adeyemi (1) and what transpired between him and a certain high ranking government official during the days of Western region?

It was reported that the government official visited and hosted Oyo traditional council to a meeting. During the meeting he told the said Alaafin to stand up and greet him and the king felt insulted. He thereafter cast a spell on the high-ranking government official which eventually led to his death. I have read that story several times. Maybe Obasanjo doesn't know, or he feels he's too powerful.

May history not repeat itself with him in Oyo state .

Useless criminals parading themselves as obas.

And so? Na by boss? Is he still a boss to Tinubu today? He has no right asking them to stand up and greet him. Those are royal father's. The real bosses of the Yoruba land. Haba.

musicwriter:
Obasanjo is partially wrong at the same time because everywhere in the world, kings are accorded respect. There are occasions where a 10 years old boy or girl could rise to the throne in cases of untimely death of a king or queen. When that happens, the respect gets transferred to the little heir no matter his/her age.

If we weren't colonized, the prominent king would be the president, while the next prominent kings would be governors. The lesser kings would be commissioners and the last stage councilors.

It was already that was before our unfortunate contact with white people.

So, if we're actually speaking in organic African terms, Obasanjo is wrong.

Obj is right, though he fails to know what he spewed apply to him in every way.

He said "in yoruba culture, age and position is respected" so I wonder which position he occupies currently for the traditional rulers seated to get up for him? Apart from his age, that is.

He's not an elected official, neither is he a political appointee, yet he is towering above the traditional rulers. 🤦

He is a title holder

A governor appoints a royal father

He is still tinubu’s boss. Always

He has proven by this singular act that he carries the Igbo spirit.

1. He has desecrated the Yoruba gods and heritage.
2. He has displayed pride.

Pride they say comes before fall.
Unless these are not true monarchs.

As much as a believer now believes and worships the one True God, he is still obligated to give honor to whom it is due- especially the established authorities.

Jesus Christ and apostles could wipe out the Roman King and other leaders but they honored them.

I believe this is meant to expose certain things concerning our human traditions and heritage as tribes. We need to Know that even our ethnic and tribal affiliations have to be subjected to the Word of God.

You can't be tribalistic if you're a believer.
Yet Obidients are tribalistic.
Even those who were not tribalistic have been made to react tribalistically.

God help and save us all.

Ogbeni, Obasanjo can NOT be Senile in the Next 10 Years!

Obasanjo is not those Traditional Rulers mate.😏🙁

He SENIOR them Wella, in Age.😒

What can you say about that USELESS Wike that Disgraces Rivers state Traditional rulers and treats them like kids.

What if those traditional rulers refused to stand up, what will he do them?

Raskimonojendor:
Baba is clowning as usual.

Obj dobale-ing for the gbagura below and the olowu below.

most of u did not read d article... He was talking about d governor not himself

illicit:
E b like say Baba don dey go senile o

Talking to Kings like primary school kids

What will happen gan if they refuse to stand

Dementia don set in finally…

Feintline:
Yoruba has a beautiful culture and respect but tinubu has really damaged and destroyed a lot.

I know many respectable yoruba people who are straight forward, honest, respectful and great.
Tinubu has damaged a whole lot which will affect a whole lot. Because with these young ones today following his path , if something drastic is not done, there is great danger ahead.

Pity your own people first and leave Yoruba out of your life problem

You think you can insult us and our elders and we keep quiet.
It’s part of our culture that if aliens insult our elders, we don’t keep quiet because keeping quiet means we are joining hands to insult our elders

We just started with you people

Ndigbo respect Obasanjo with an uncommon passion.........a true Yoruba man but a True nationalist.........A man of destiny!

Mc Oluomo and his types would have ended up in Kirikiri had they dared to do what they did during his presidency..............Forget all the tribal chieftains surrounding Tinubu...their love for Nigeria is only skin deep............even Tinubu is not as bad as reno omokri and his types!

Coward, he should have tried that with the late Alaafin of Oyo. He won't even dare.

OBJ won't even dare try that in his presence.

Iku baba yeye no go stand ooo if em still dey alive. Nothing Obasanjo go do.

You guys don't know OBJ. He is only trying to stir up something.

rickleye:
Rubbish !!
This is something the former President’s Aides could have addressed privately with the Oba’s before arrival.
Public shaming so… Yoruba thing!

Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man. He is Igbo, and almost a bastard in Yorubaland. This not withstanding the British colonial Nigeria twist he has always been to take Yoruba slots.....

opamoses1:

Just like they thought Rochas Okorocha was Hausa.

Just like they thought Buhari died and one Usman from Niger replaced him.

Ile ti di ile ekute....

Noviagro:
The absence of alaafin 😞.it's a pity.

Very very good

These men were appointed by governors

The rule is you attempt to show him respect and he’ll tell you no. But when you try to disrespect him he’ll stand up to show you who he is. A full General. Areal war veteran. A head of state. A commander in chief. A president. Simple

Boss gather strength with him Presidential loot!

This is the real jagaban, the other one dey learn work.

It is obvious this was a poorly done editing. Someone who prostrates for monarchs will now begin to order them around...

No correlation...
