High time we scrap these monarchs. Waste of public funds and problems

Traditional Monarchy [done right] is a veritable authority for Arbitration in times of disagreement/Conflicts due to expected apolitical stance.
They're also cultural custodians that could aid tourism revenues.

As David Thoreau says : "Of forms of government let fools contend, what is best is best".

I’m rooting for the Ex-Finance minister

A fraudulent Accountant that stole Nigeria blind. He will never be human again.
I hate ICAN because of their double standard on Michael Ani fraud as a federal minister.

What kind of nonsense is this

Since 2008

Let's assume the Obong selection was wrong...since over 10years...no elders in the entire Calabar that can persuade and prevail on those behind this case to withdraw same from the court and settle amicably

The said Obong has been on the throne for good 10years and couldn't call these people for settlement

See how they have ridiculed the stool of Obong that should be sacred..


So sad, no elders in Calabar!!!

only in Nigeria do they run parallel govt, so that blame and accountability cannot be directed at the appropriate persons. It is also the lordship mentality we have as a society


Why do we need these halloweeners? A very useless set of people parading around on some fake royalty accolade. They need to be disbanded. The chief of any town is the LG, and the chief of any state is the governor.

I was a witness to his coronation @Presbyterian Church in 2008, Eyamba Street, Duke Town Calabar & the traditional procession to the Obong of Calabar Palace around Nsidung Area, Henshaw Town, Calabar.

He is a Peace loving Monarch, he extends his hand of fellowship to about 5clans of Efiks who weren't active part of the Kingdom, even in selection process of Obong of Calabar.
He organize a ceremony where some Traditional Rulers from nearby Akwa Ibom State who has history With the Efiks to pay Homage to him at his Palace @Adiabo near Tinapa.
Clan Head of Idua in Oron LGA
Clan Head of Effiat in Mbo LGA
Clan Head of Atabong, who is also the Paramount Ruler of Okobo LGA
Clan Head of Oku Iboku in Itu LGA
Clan Head in Uruan LGA
All these Clan Heads are in Akwa Ibom State, they speak Efik fluently.
They always recognize&pay homage to the Obong of Calabar from time to time.

'Usefulness' here is not an objective view.

Your opinion is a bit hasty. There are potentially Violent conflicts that normal institutions may struggle with that Traditional leaders can be valuable for (Arbitration) if they are reasonable.

Secondly, Our modern 'democratic' leaders are more wasteful / petty & no better.
