From a 1st Class Yoruba Monarch

Una don start with this meme wey cost Gbadebo hin election for Lagos.

Reading the Oba transcript is disgusting

According to tradition and culture of the Yoruba people it is very wrong for a king to be appointed. It is a monarchy system of ruling. The PM does not appoint the King or Queen of England.

This part of the world just take civilization wrongly and blindly. If proper redress is not taken, Yoruba would lost it customs.

The Oluwo just go and display his already known arrogance and ignoramuses.

TriCee:
Bitter truth. Nigeria monarch system has been highly politicized.

I grew up respecting Kano emirate as a highly revered entity. But it took just a Ganduje(Governor) to bastardize that. Even the Emir was dethroned.

Well, they have outlived their usefulness. Even village matters are now settled in police stations, instead of palaces.

The dethroned Emir Father too was dethroned, Dasuki father was dethroned too it is not a Ganduje thing.

And I agree with you, the institution has outlived it's usefulness.

King Oluwemawe. He fit mol anything molable. Eyin ara iwo, eku afarada

Typical Nigerians

When the system favour you, it's call Eledumare


When the system is against you, we called it Nepotism, corruption, and Back door

British colony do Nigerian citizen like this

astonished:
I have said many times, most of these Obas are worthless and useless,

Because African majic and Nollywood, so many Yorubas still see theses people as a god, the obaship have no single benefits to their domain or society, but plenty disadvantages as they are threat to the people living within their domain using their political power and diabolic power

Hahahahaha

LeopardX:
Oga i put it to you, that whether appointed by the gods/oracles or not, any traditional ruler that go against the state government and incite the crowd also, will not last.

Sanusi simply bit more than he could chew versus Ganduje, overestimating his importance in the process. We know how it all ended.

Go figure, no traditional ruler goes against state government, regardless of party.

In the last decade, only Sanusi tried it and we know how it ended.

I find it largely amusing how you nairalanders always sit in the comfort of your homes and confidently speak rubbish on things you have no iota of idea about.

That is, you get mind come online dey argue my village and state with me? Are you bloody serious right now?!

Use this pitiable sense of confidence to go research the region I explicitly mentioned. No Governor has ever dared to stray beyond the limits of his office to the kingship stools of not just Ugep, but all the other villages in Yakurr LGA. Decades ago, an Army barrack was situated in Ugep, military officers began to be irresponsible and highhanded, the entire barrack was dislodged from the village by the indigenes and the State Administrator then could do nothing.

During Buhari's first tenure, Okoi Obono Obla who's a son of the soil, feeling he was wielding gigantic political influence at the Federal level, made the mistake of attempting to invade and desecrate the palace with the DSS and Mobile Policemen, the invasion was not only resisted, but he was put in his place to the point he crawled back to the palace on his knees seeking forgiveness.

Oga, make una dey argue wetin una sabi! Certain monarchies existed long before even colonisation was ever conceived by the perpetrators. And the sanctities of those stools still linger to this day. No Governor can ever desecrate or balkanize the royal stool of my ancestral home!

Northern states Governors have been deposing Emirs since time immemorial,so just recoile into your cocoon if you are uninformed,ditto for southern states.
Be informed!!!

He is right. If aspirant did not belong to Governor party he will never be crown. Tradition in the mud

Dey con carry us goal goal 😂

This is why certain monarchical stools in Nigeria hold no societal relevance.

In Yakurr LGA of Cross River where I come from, the Obol Lopon (King) of Ugep is picked through a sacred traditional ritual that is performed by the Chief Priest and Kingmaker. The three maternal clans who have historically been christened for the stool are gathered, and whether there be 60 people in attendance, the chief priest throws the coronation towel of the gods that floats until it settles on the shoulder of the one who's chosen.

Once that's done, no single soul utters a word in argument or defiance. The king is crowned and can be on that stool for 50years or more, depending on what the gods deem fit, according to his well rounded earthly behaviour and handling of the stool.

No governor or political leader has a bloody say over who sits on that stool. The only time the Governor does the selection based on popular votes or opinion is when one king is to be crowned the paramount ruler of all other village kings in my LGA.

All these 21st century half-baked monarchies being decided by politicians is the reason people like Ganduje can wake up and disgrace a whole Emir, then balkanize his kingdom.. . Tomorrow una no go allow us hear something with nonsensical bragging!

I swear.

It's really annoying. Any monarchy seat is deem ancestral. Before the emergency of nonsense democracy in Nigeria, infact before Nigeria ever dream of colonization.

It's a total nonsense that a governor appoint a king. It's an insult to that ancestral seat.

Interesting

Emperordynasty:
I respect real royalty
Even when the British deposed Ovonwramen,The Benin people defied their then masters and refused that a puppet of the British be seated on that throne,
That’s real royalty even the British could not break the line of succession that has lasted for over 1000years
The present Oba is the 44th monarch from that one line since Eweka 1

And someone will say A governor can depose the Oba of Benin
The Governor can command it, but who will enforce it
No Benin soldier,civil servant,politician will partake of it,no one will even dare to take over the throne
Not even the Chiefs

As roggerd as Benin is as a state with terrible issues with violence ,dem no dey carry an near Oba Palace

Oba ghatokpe e abeg!!!

Ise!

I'll never understand the idea behind Governors having an influence over who occupies a kingship stool in a kingdom that has existed long before even the Governor was born.

It can only be greed and material aggrandisement on the part of those weak kings.

How do you surrender the sanctity of your stool and people to the hands of politicians because you want to be seen in political circles? My King, being the Paramount ruler of all Kings in Yakurr LGA, can have the ears of the President anyday, so long as he requests.

Yet, one corrupt and toad-like looking Governor can wake up overnight and depose a whole Emir, then go ahead to disintegrate his kingdom into smaller units. It's very shameful!

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar
That is why the Benin kingdom remain the best

Come to Benin city and see real monarchy

That is why the oba of Benin is the most feared and respected oba in the whole of West Africa

the governor can't even command it because he would risk uprising from the people

He himself can be impeached because of such uprising

The Kings appointed by the governors are just puppet to governance so they could bend the people to their wish, using their own kings.

More reason that shows we are lost as people. The king supposed be the closest to the people, fight for their course more than any house rep member would.

But greed and money have made some Kings sell their ancestral power. And it could only get worst if redress is not taken.

Ok

It’s all over Nigeria since 1999
Ask Kano and Anambra kings

Nothing bad about the statement.

Most of us don't believe it, IFA DOESN'T PICK ANYONE HAS KING.
THE KING MAKERS DECIDES THAT AND ADMIT IT TO IFA.
