Seun osewa, laslasticlala and other mods are pushing threads created by known fulani's about Yoruba culture. Meanwhile threads that show case the progress of Yoruba's created by Yoruba's are given less attention..... What in the hell is this nonsense.

Being respectful/acting respectful shouldn't be equated to or mistaken for respect/having respect. Genuflection, which they expressed for each other, typifies the former, and most of the time is an act of a false disposition or gesture and for the sake of formality. I'm usually wary of any person that does put up a disingenuous demeanor or take to servility

Foolish BASTARDS!!! What positive impact exactly has the Alaafin on Yoruba and his own people other than marrying his grand-daughters and wasting public resources on them while the average Nigerian suffers. Yet, you see the foolish Yoruba pple adulating and celebrating such mediocrity! angry

These are one of the major reasons Africa is behind. These guys should all be executed and you'll see how progression would be experienced.
You my friend should be executed for your ignorance and stupidity..

Africa is lagging precisely because of folks like you. Zero respect for anyone or anything.
No problem... You fools lack objectivity! Sentiment is the nucleus of your thought process! The French Revolution should be a great example for y'all. angry

What exactly have these people done to help their suffering populace other than to collect money from every government regardless of the party. >:

Your comment would have made sense if kings were ruling Nigeria instead of the government, French Revolution was a revolt against the government, it just coincidentally happened to be a government made up of monarchy and royalty. The Aalafin, the Ooni, the Sultan, Oba of Benin does not control your destiny, they have no say in your succes or failure and if you feel they do then you've already lost the plot.

In a country suffering like 9ja, the last thing you want to take away are people's beliefs and symbols, direct your anger towards Aso Rock and the goons who make up APC and PDP.

The one bowing in-between them will share either from the curse or prayer that comes within their mind. We have different purpose in life

Morons like to regurgitate everything without in depth analysis or even basic understanding of what they are talking about. The French killed their royals therefore we should kill ours?
We don't have absolute monarchy, even the British doesn't look up to the queen to alleviate the suffering of the people, there are people elected to do that. These are the people you should hold accountable. And stop blabbing about things you don't know.

Simple! Basic!

The inability to accept this truth was what killed the famous Bode Thomas in his prime.

You idiots like to acknowledge rubbish sha...who cares if they shake hands, bump fists or hug each other? What has the bowing or the Obas gallivanting around the country fixed? What purpose do they even serve in the society? In sane countries u see finite number of kings. In Africa, u see infinite numbers doing absolutely nothing by the way.
