Obasanjo did nothing wrong

tbh I felt embarrassed when I watched that

I like this king. Who the hell is Obasanjo to command assistant gods

Yugoslavia247:
Fact is the constitution has no serious place for monarchs.

Infact, a local govt chairman is constitutionally powerful than a monarch.

A governor can remove or depose any monarch and nothing will happen.

Who is in charge of police?
Even monarchs know this.

Many don't know this? If the commissioner for local government and chieftaincy invite you for meeting and don't show up. Na express queey

Obj is greater than awolowo and TINUBU

Just sshhuu him with money and car

illicit:
Can u pass a message to your king or any other king like that?

At least it is better than unknown gunmen killing igbos traditional leaders

pandoragirigory:
People don't get Obasanjo message, he didn't disrespect them, he was just passing a message

Can any of our Igbo politician try this with any of our traditional chief? The answer is No! In as much I like and respect Obasanjo, he's wrong on this one. Maybe is old age sha. Baba ti da agba

sreamsense:
Oluwo opinion can't be trusted in this context because he may be hiding under religion to to give bias opposition to Obasanjo. Obasanjo was not insulting but correcting reality on ground based on constitution of Nigeria. Who doesn't know that governor and president are superior to ceremonial obas? Obasanjo has paid his due many times prostrating publicly for Kings, attitude of some of the kings may really be responsible for pushing Obasanjo on that public outburst

Shut up. In Yoruba land, kings don't stand for anyone.

Traditional rulers are below governors/presidents.

This one that answers Emir in Yoruba land

Is that not an insult to Yoruba tradition? Are traditional Kings not subject to political leaders?

Talabioye:
Lol... Oluwo don come again o

A yahoo yahoo king shouldn't be taking serious

Obj is well known for causing stir and creating scene only those who don't know him take him seriously,someone that shouted at his old classmates to fall in line during a road work.

Oluwo that Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde K1 de Ultimate Dey call by name Dey talk nonsense here

Tntsi:
Nonsense talk. President obasanjo did nothing wrong.
It is even worse in the north.
In the north, a governor will not only stand an emir but he will sack him and divide his throne.
Ask the former emir of kano .

What power does Obasanjo have to sack a governor

Acekidc4:
Who be Emir 🤨🤔 Emir wey Ganduje a Governor Sack Comot for Throne 🤔 dey Play!!

no mind the cow. everybody na Oba no mean say everybody get sense.
See him directing OBJ to hausa affairs. Is OBJ hausa or yoruba? When baba show am small power now he go start to beg.

MrAgbako:
That is if he is not careful. With the way things are going I'm afraid for him.
But the man nah old soldier. They are well known for their ruggedness and stubbornness 😂

You people overrate yourselves too much!! Obasanjo cannot be cancelled anywhere in Nigeria,not to talk of by jobless and irrelevant traditional rulers who were installed by the government. Why didn't they refuse to stand up when he asked them to? Even this oluwo werey will have had no choice but stand up of he was there!

Oluwo ko
Alubo ni

If I be obasanjo n I meet this oluwo for gathering, I will order him to stand up to honour me, if he declines he will wish he is never existed. Obasanjo have been honouring Obas which everyone knows, if the Obas r now feeling as god. Then they should be made to know they r mortal men

You mean igbo land where even youths naked, killed, cannibalized their traditional leaders and burn their palaces

Wayre oni Igbo na sooro.

Stop playing my friend.

Emirs and chiefs are now appointed by governors
Therefore Obasanjo is bigger than any single one of them by earthly standards

A true Yoruba person won't do what Obasanjo did to those traditional rulers in Oyo.. What Oluwo said is true, let Obj go to North and ask their Emirs to stand up to greet him and see what will happen.

It's still part of the docility among Yorubas I keep talking about.. timid and easily controlled.

They should stand up and greet you.. as God wey you be. Nonsense.

OBJ is a narcissistic egomaniac old fool.
The man is always seeking attention like a toddler.

seanwilliam:

Of course every right thinking Yoruba will feel embarrassed watching that clip.. It's very disrespectful to Yoruba culture and tradition.

The same Obj dare not go to East and try what he did to the traditional rulers in Oyo with their Ezes there.

pandoragirigory:

His tone was demeaning

Even Former American presidents won't address students like that

Those are fathers, leaders, Kings

He just tonguelashed them in public because he is who?

pandoragirigory:
People don't get Obasanjo message, he didn't disrespect them, he was just passing a message

what message is that pls

pandoragirigory:
People don't get Obasanjo message, he didn't disrespect them, he was just passing a message

what message is he trying to pass?

The point is the Political structure is way superior to the traditional institutions and what has made it worse is that the traditional leaders have dined and wined with the politicians, they have also collected money from politicians So politicians have seen them finish except for some exceptions like late alaafin of oyo or Oba of Benin who didn't allow any politician to disrespect the office of the traditional institutions.the rest are just glorified errand boys of governors

Ed12:
Obasanjo did nothing wrong

He did something wrong. It's not proper even in any culture or tradition of the country.

Komu1048:

He will and can do nothing

Is he gonna beat him up or arrest him?

All he can do is bark

Thanks jare, our Olúwò has talked. I know you wouldn't take that nonsense. Sincerely speaking, what Obj did was actually wrong
