His support is nothing more than one or two votes.
He is politician want to be.
"Politician" only in the news not on the ground.
Bros cannot win a councilorship election.

Anybody that die because of this useless country wasted his life.

That was how adedibu wanted to jump the queue.
Ladoja also desire to jump the queue.

A bad governor that desire to become king.
God forbid.

May lekan balogun live for more than forty years more.

StUriah:
Many commentators here lack understanding of the issues concerning the traditional council in Ibadan. Everybody just wants to condemn the high chiefs, and praise Ladoja whose stock-in-trade is politics. I have never and will never be a fan of Ajimobi, but I respect his courage with regards to the reform. Originally, Baale was the title of Olubadan when Ibadan was under the New Oyo empire founded by Atiba. Then, Alaafin was a ceremonial king; the real military power resided in Ibadan where bravest of the brave warriors were present. Whenever a ruler whether the Baale or Balogun (a military commander) passed on, Alaafin had to be informed about it. And, being the overlord, the Alaafin will install the new Baale or a new war commander as the head of Ibadan. Afterward, promotions of other chiefs to elevated positions would follow suit.

We are in 21st century where authority resides with the government of the day, so what Ajimobi did as a constituted authority in reforming Ibadan traditional institution going by the aspirations of the council of chiefs wasn't an aberration after all.

The titles of Obaship that Ajimobi gave to the High Chiefs were just honorary titles; not transferable to their descendants. Remember these high chiefs were not taking to Ipebi (secluded ritual arena) and they were not given Opa Ase. So, what is the fuse about the mere nomenclature of the Royal Majesty accorded to them? Does the Imperial Majesty title accorded to the Olubadan stool not supreme and overbearing enough on the honorary crowns given to the high chiefs? By the way, Ibadan was never known to be an empire; it was a military camp that provided refuge for displaced persons. It was a town that accommodated warriors of all manners (from Yoruba speaking people) whose territories were destroyed by incessant wars within and without. Some of these warriors who later became leaders in Ibadan were Eso (war commanders) in the Old Oyo empire (e.g, Oluyedun, Oluyole, Lakanle, Elepo, Oderinlo). Some were hardened criminals, freebooters, and the Jama'a terrorists like the Boko Haram we have in Nigeria today. Many of them were slaves captured during wars who were later used to prosecute wars in other communities (e.g, Ibikunle, who later became Balogun in Ibadan, was a slave to a war commander known as Onibudo. Because Ibikunle was fierce in battle that is why he was nicknamed as 'Kiniun Onibudo'. One of Balogun Ibikunle's descendants ascended to the throne of Olubadan sometimes ago). These are the people we now referred to as Imperial Majesty once they become the Olubadan because of the reform done by past governments. Yet, Ladoja and his co-travelers will not recognise the Obaship titles of the High Chiefs which are mere honorary titles.

My question is 'how can you have an Imperial Majesty (Emperor) without provincial kings?

I know this matter is not going to end soon. For the Chiefs who dropped their crowns, they only stooped to conquer.

For Rashidi Ladoja, becoming the Olubadan is a lifelong aspiration, but it is the will of God that can only prevail. Whatever will be, will be no matter human efforts.

Que sera, sera.

You are right.
Ladoja was against ajimobi reform purely because of politics.
He said the reform was targeted against him not to become king.

He should be president where all people are catholic.

Ogbomosho, the town that drink pap from corn after eating amala.

It just crossed my mind, I dont know where the palace is.
Hmmm even I dont know that of osogbo.
And some other towns I have been to many times.

He said he has no limit to his consultation.
Politician with a difference.

Why borno still part of nigeria.
They should be ejected.
How long will the senseless boko haram thing last?

Ajimobi sincerely tried to reform the institution.
The king, Saliu Adetunji accepted but when he got home his wife said to him no way.
The king reverted.

Ajimobi is commended for his part.

He has no other choice.
I dont pray he become king one day because he was not a good governor.

Jokerman:
Should Ukrainian leaders be patriotic to Russia or to Ukraine?

What is NATO offering that Russia isn't offering.... Russia should step up and offer better....

Ukrainian leaders should be patriotic to their country.
America is their enemy.
Enemy in the sense that america is using ukraine to show power struggle with russia.
When two elephant fight, its the grass that suffer.
America VS russia, its ukrainians that suffer.

Ukraine does not need america at all.

On NATO:
NATO is extension of american dominance and control.
That is why russia against ukraine joining it.
Our EU leaders are just doing follow follow america.

Incompetent and very useless president.
You dont need God to defeat boko haram, bandits, kidnappers etc.

Jokerman:
Why does Ukraine want to join NATO?

American idea.
Ukraine does not need to join NATO.

America causing confusion in that region.
Ukrainian leaders should be patriotic and do the right thing.
They should sit down with their russian brothers and iron out their difference.

The problem between ukraine and russia was created by america.
America from their far away north america o.
America is using ukriane in their play of power game with russia.

Ukraine should stop following america as their slaves.
On ukraine issue, Eu leaders follow america as if they dont have mind of their own.

Ukrainian leaders should put on their thinking cap.
Russia is not their enemy.

Ukraine is independent country, their leaders should act accordingly.
They should not act as if they are subservient to america.
Ukraine is a big country of forty four million people.
Its nature that chose russia as their neighbor. Russia should be their friend.

They can be friend to russia and the west at the same time.

We are not proud of them.
At all, at all.

They should be replaced with boy scouts.

Thieves.

Good of you.

But I don't do betting nor loto.
There is zero chance of getting that kind of money.

I would immediately give each extended family members twenty million naira as a start.

Those that used it well would graduated to fifty million each. And so on.

They can work it out.

America is the aggressor on the issue of Ukraine.
Some years back free and fair election in Ukraine was rejected by America because Russia friend won.

APC failed to provide job for the masses.
