chemgee: No mind am Even if you come on air to depose the Oba publicly on TV which will cost you your political death. You cannot go and remove him from the Palace. He will be there well, sleeping well. You can only stop whatever comes to him from the government. That's all. Nobody can replace him. Be like you people don't know that the average benin man mind is after God is Oba and then Governor. Be there Benin man when come ignorant is the worst. He fit even kill u troway because of Oba matter. |

perambulator: My guy, the Emirs and even the Sultan in the North are simply not comparable with the first rate southern monarchs like the Oba of Benin, Oni of Ife.... With the exception of the Sheau of Borno, most of the current northern stools are products of Dan Fodio's Jihad, barley 200 years old. The first rate southern stools like the Benin monarch is is over 700 years old, deeply intertwined with the culture of the people. They never born the governor that will try and mess with these institutions. When Lucky Igbinedion was Edo governor did fear let him chance the Oba, even though his father and the Oba were at loggerheads. He knew his limits. When the current Oba spoke on the issue of Benin Bronze's did Obaseki not back down. Please listen to Edo people when we tell you the Oba is SUPREME in Edo land, regardless of what the laws of Nigeria might say. |

Rugaria: Warri has relationship with Yoruba nation. Just watch the tradition, name, and the language. Don't forget also that Warri was part of the old Western Region governed by Chief Obafemi Awolowo. In fact, Awolowo gave staff of office to Olu of Warri in the 50s. Also, Awolowo held the highest title in Itshekiri land before his demise in 1987. 2 Likes |

bjdon: I am telling you what the law is. We know they dont follow it in real life the point is to tell you that by law all these traditional rulers are symbolic and have no legal power. As with most things Nigeria, we go about our daily lives ignoring the law and the law turns a blind eye until the day you fall foul of the authorities and the authorities decide to enforce the law. Go and ask Former Emir Sanusi. none of them is bigger than Emir of kano!!!! |

bjdon: Please dont start that!! Please dont start this one king is superior to another stuff, I;m not going there. We know the 1st class kings and they are equally revered, that some holders of the title have sullied the office does not detract that their status. and Please dont even mention ooni of ife, because as a yoruba i dont want to make certain comments. |

odigbosky: Let's even say it's possible (removing the Oba)... That's not even the bone of contention, coz the Governor has the legal power to do it, but the wahala is the repercussion. Unlike what Ganduje did in Kano: removed the Emir, and even split the kingdoms/throne into 5 ... All at the same time. Trying such in Benin is just... 2 Likes |

perambulator:I am not contesting facts with u,for me this has gotten nothing to do with being a first class monarch or north. The whites might have promoted the sultan because they were loyal but the Benin people see the Oba as the man directly sent by God to oversee our affairs.the age long tradition must not be broken. It has got nothing to do with the political position of the Oba.I don’t think the Northerners rever their Emir and sultan half the way the benin people do to the Oba.its an obligation to the average Benin man. The palace is our custom .we don’t play politics with it. Even while the Oba was deposed to calabar the loyalty and reverence the people had for him didn’t go down a bit.its on record how thousands were ready to die just for the Oba.we don’t miss politics with the palace bro. |

emmadothings: you dont seem to understand that akll these Kings whether 1st class or no class all lost their Kingdoms to the British. the british retained them and paid them salaries to help them administer the locals. If the british did not need them to help administer the locals they would all have been banished or killed. That is the origin of the statusand role they find themselves in today. THEY ARE ALL CONQUERED KINGDOMS!!! When the British left, they Handed over the system of administration to the new government and that has continued. Talking about 1st class kings as if they still have Kingdoms except symbolically and as a reminder of our histories. They are all figure heads and powerless! Again i say you people seem to forget that all these kings were CONQUERED by the British!! Where does a King get conquered and still parade himself like nothing happened, except you are being propped up by the real power....i.e the power than conquered you. The Nigerian Government today is the descendant of the power (British) that Conquered Nigerian Kings. Nigerian Kings serve today, just like they did under the British at the pleasure of the Government. Under the constitution that government is the state govt and power is vested in the Governor. The Emir of Kanio, the Sultan of Sokoto are all "1st class King"s, they all forgot their Kingdoms were conquered over 1 hundred years ago and were behaving like they still had a Kingdom, getting involved in politics, commenting anyhow on government matters...they promptly learned that their forefathers and their Kingdoms had been conquered ages ago and they only exist by the grace of the government and are there to do the bidding of the govt. It is the same with all Kings in the south 1st class or not. Whether you had a big empire before or not. Alaafin of oyo is traditionally the most powerful Oba in yoruba land. It was when he decided to side with Akintola that Awo showed him where real power lies and demoted him and made the Ooni enjoy the power he enjoys today. And that is the origin of who is more superior that engulfs obas in SW, nobody cares about your history, these Kingdoms are gone, it is about are you doing the bidding of the govt....or at least staying away from politics. 2 Likes |

MAURI:Instead of people to educate themselves a little with this piece, they prefer to argue. The constitution is more powerful than any form of tradition and culture. Just look at sanusi for example. Now back to these so called "kings", of what important or relevance are they to our lives today if they can't speak the truth on our behalf or fight for their people. Nigeria has serious fundamental issues,we just choose to pretend and it will always wait for the upcoming generation. 1 Like 2 Shares |
