There are hints that it was for mainly that reason.
The previous emir's family seems to be very close to him.
There's been alot of running around in the lead up to this and it wasn't a surprising seeing Dantata at the villa.

But oh well
Lolz. But Going to Tinubu will obviously not change anything, the person he should be going to see is the governor and not Tinubu na.

This whole thing is the current governor and Kwakwanso doing; it has nothing to do with federal government.

So Dantata's visit to Tinubu was a waste it seems
Is that what Dantata’s visit was about ? Well me I don’t know the purpose of the man Man’s visit but I know people like him , Dangote and other rich powerful men don’t usually meddle in political and traditional power tussle openly

Lampard didn't make signings, they were jumbled together for him
Well, that’s club internal politics .

Maybe that excuse can fly for him during his time at Chelsea sha . But looking at his coaching career overall, he hasn’t gone past the peak of being FA cup runner up.

Arteta finished 8th 2 seasons in a row
That was never disputed . He won a trophy in less than a year in charge and that bought him extra time .

Lampard on the other hand lost finals and didn’t do much to improve the lot of the team when the transfer ban was lifted after he made signings .

Lampard was a great player no doubt, but there’s nothing to write home about his managerial career thus far especially when u pitch it against Arteta’s

The bulk of the blame goes to the community leaders, and the Nigerian government...Shell's primary responsibility is to its share holders, so if sustainable exploration would cost Shell $1 billion and the stakeholders from Nigeria insist that Shell should instead bribe them with $200 million and do as they like with the environment, what you think Shell would do?

The answer is at the beginning of 2019/2020 when Arteta was appointed as Arsenal manager from Manchester city as assistant coach.

As at then Lampard was already famous due to his exploits at the Championship. Who was better at tha t point at the beginning of 2019/2020 season? grin

Dj Famous ni.

Arteta was not even appointed until December (4 months already into the season). Yet, he finished the season with a trophy .

Exploits in the Championship cheesy cheesy cheesy. You are not serious o

Oga, I agree a rookie Arteta won FA cup in his first season in 2019/2020 season.

Now, let us think towards this direction. Prior to the beginning of 2019/2020 season, Lampard already made name for himself in 2018/2019 in the championship while Arteta was just a rookie coach from being assistant coach in another club.

Based on this, at the beginning of 2019/2020 season, who was better between Lampard and Arteta? angry
grin grin grin

At this point u are giving the vibe of a student who decided to answer a question the examiner did not ask inside his answer booklet.

In one breath u agreed Arteta was still an assitant manager until his appointment at Arsenal. Then the same u is asking about who was a better manger over a period Arteta was not yet a manger cheesy

Maybe u should go and read the initial post I quoted so u won't be arguing amiss.

So na legislative act dey depose Emir for north.

I doubt if hausas even get culture. Cos it wasn't that far that they were islamized by Dan fodio. Just 1803 or so. What titles did their Kings bear before those jihad periods undecided undecided undecided

Yoruba culture for Life!! Cant imagine an Ooni or Awujale being deposed by a legislative bill.

For almost over three years counting now,Oyo never get Alafin. Atari ajanaku..kii seru omode cool

Alaafin Oba Adeyemi II was deposed by Awolowo simply because he aligned with the central government agsinst government of western region.

Since the colonial masters came , people in governments have been deposing kings. It happens in Yoruba and Hausa land jare

Where was Arteta when Lampard led Derby to championship playoff? I think he was just an assistant coach with no achievement of his own hence it's save to save Lampard was better than him at some point.
A rookie manager wins FA cup in his first season as as a first team coach. A rookie manager led a team to playoffs in the championship and lost.

So in ur world the one that lost Championship playoffs was better than the one that actually won a cup in his first season on the job ?

Omo! People dey this world o. Even Lampard will not regard himself as the better of the two

Time is an essential factor but unfortunately Chelsea doesn't tolerate average performance that's why lampard was sacked and arteta is still arsenal manager for 5 fucking years without a major trophy.

Facts; Arteta won't last a season as Chelsea manager
U are talking out of point as usual. If u like go marekt, buy paint and color ur comment in rainbow color, it won't change the fact that I made a factual statement countering the careless cappings of the other moniker.

He claimed at some point Lampard was better than Arteta in their coaching careers and that has been proven to be a lie. Simple.

Nevertheless, Kompany took Anderlecht to 3rd position in the Belgium pro league and cup final though he lost it.

That's with a better team. The probability he will do well in Germany is positive.
I don’t have a problem with Kompany , if he will do well in Germany or not remains to be seen. I only pointed it out to u that doing well in the Championship doesn’t mean u will be a good manager in the EPL or any top league .

Well, Lampard did well in the championship before he was considered. Remember, it was Lampard that used Mount on loan from Chelsea and made him a regular player in Chelsea due to ban.
Kompany did not only do well in the Championship, but won it. Guess what he did in the EPL? yes u guessed right, he has successfully relegated the same team.

Anybody can be the Pep Guardiola of the Championship, it is what u do managing a team in the EPL that people will use to judge u.

lol it's funny how people now praise Arsenal and Arteta some seasons ago he was trash he couldn't even be compared to Lampard but what Arteta received Lampard didn't, time and listening hears of the board and resources.

Well Arsenal were never a firing club per say. But I don't Bayern considered kompany's past season but his previous seasons in lower divisions, after all Bayern have a great squad in a weak league that should be easy even for Xabi to work magic why not Kompany. Even at that it's a first, to see a big club hire a manager from a relegated team that couldn't even put up a fight. But this football experts see something or else it has got to be the Pep influence.
Una go just dey cap carelessly with full confidence.

When was Lampard ever a better manager than Arteta?

Lampard took over a team that Sarri had just used to trash Arsenal in the Europa league final in 2019; Guess what he did with that team? He used that team to lose against Arteta's team in FA cup final 2020. That was Arteta winning his first cup less than one year of taking over at Arsenal.

Lampard was never a better manager than Arteta at any point in time. Lampard was a great football player , but a shitty manager. Everyone at Chelsea knows this, those at Everton know this as well.

His main injury concern was the groin problem which have been taken care of, na to manage him properly. Hmm BRD(shey u no get problem with the initials for ya Monika?) It's really hard defending his injury issues but I just love the boy and wish him to stay. His injury shouldn't be much of a problem again
The bold is why I say wanting him to stay is sentimental emotional attachment.

If he stays an his injury woes continues, we will then be debating what could have been had if he had been stayed fit; Just like Diaby's case.

Everybody knows Diaby was a fine player, one of the top talents of his era but we all know how it ended.

You see Viera and Smith, they both have a place in Arteta's plan if you ask me. They are versatile and tactical players. And I'm sure ESR injury concern won't be a problem next year like the previous years.

Even the coach and his medical team won’t be sure ESR won’t get injured again.

A player that has consistently gotten injured with various injuries ranging from Shoulder injury, groin injury , hamstring injury ,knee injury , ankle injury , etc over the last 5 years …. That’s the player u are vouching for that his injury concern will not be a problem next year ?

Yesterday I was just thinking that probably it is APC that fit Nigerians . Imagine how everybody just move on with increase in price of fuel, coke is N350, no bread costs less than 1k , etc .

It's not as much about falling in line as it is about Obaseki poking...the previous Oba and the current one generally don't interfere with politics, so Obaseki could have handled whatever little issues there were better.

I don't think Obaseki has enough clout in the state to swing elections the way of his candidate wildly, say even a quarter how a Wike would have done if Wike were in his shoes...the only saving grace for Asue Ighodalo is that he still seems the most ready for the job, and the people trying to politicize the rift are in the camp of the APC guy who as an individual is quite unsellable...if they were backing the LP guy, it'd have been game over a long time ago.
Well, I don’t know the history of their beef/rift sha; but I’m speaking to the fact that there’s so much powers in the hands of a governor under this democratic dispensation. If a governor doesn’t like the way u breath , he can go as far as deposing u.


Till today nobody knows what exactly Sanusi did wrong that made Ganduje depose him.

As regards whether Obaseki has what it takes to swing election in his candidate’s favor , well what I’ve learnt in naija politics is that a desperate outgoing governor can go to any length to install a stooge in his place . We saw Yahaya Bello do it recently with Ododo in Kogi state .

Lol, I don't know how Obaseki managed to fumble his relationship with the palace so badly, it's difficult to see how all of this won't rub off on AI...sadly the only other formidable candidates are the APC guy who can barely string two sentences together, and Olumide Akpata of LP...probably one of the most wide-eyed and desperate candidates in recent history. At this point it's anybody but the APC guy though, the man sounds too dull.
So far the constitution vests so much executive power in the hands of State governors , they (governors ) will always 4ck up any traditional ruler that refuses to fall in line no matter how revered such traditional ruler is among the people . It doesn’t matter whether the traditional ruler stool has been existing since year 100 BC ; a governor will always mess them up due to political differences .

The fact that governors pay salaries of traditional rulers compels them to be subservient to the governors while their tenure lasts .

If Obaseki finds a way to rig the election in favor of his anointed candidate , it won’t matter whether Oba of Benin is displeased with him or not. Nigerian elections don’t really reflect the will of the people , so I won’t hold my breath that Onaseki won’t still have his way. If Segedinho’s account of the 2023 general elections in Edo state is anything to go by; then it’s possible Obaseki might still use the hungry youth to work things in his favor and his preferred candidate .
