All the Obas, Igwes, or Sultan or Emirs in Nigeria with no exception are all employees of State Government/LGA. Obj knows what he was saying. He has been President, He ranks higher than all of them combined and should be respected wherever the Obas see him.

Yes

Obasonjo can be likened to Nabal

And his wife is Abigael

Wise woman

Na who come be David here wey go marry the Abigail?🤣

StreetFight:
The useless Kings deserve to be publicly whipped for not standing up to Obasanjo and beating Obasanjo up mercilessly like a common thief that he is. Those Kings are a disgrace to Yoruba race

God bless the uncommon king. The Great Oba of Benin. The OGIDIGAN of the Universe.

kingsways:
Nobody forced the Obas to stand up

If what Obasanjo did was wrong, I expect the Obas to have been men enough to refuse to stand up and tell him to his face that they cannot accept him telling them to stand up and sit down like school children

If someone is Cowardly and gutless, then someone can rightly question if such a person is even deserving of being an Oba in the first place

I like this submission, Obasanjo wouldn't have dared such nonsense if he truly saw those as obas..To him they're just privileged to have crowns on their heads..

chiagozien:
Obasanjo is the only reasonable Yoruba man I know

Really? You missed it? Have you thought of the like of my person? There are many thousands of yorubas out there. You're politically dogmatics my friend.

As far as I’m concerned…Baba Obasanjo is just pained that Oyo state people didn’t vote for his candidate and the obas played a role in it…na just transfer of aggression

StreetFight:
Yes, you are right. The other one is dead. He is Benjamin Adekunke a.k.a. The Scorpion. The two of them used over three million stubborn goats from the East for pepper soup and suya within 30 months

haa you really get them

You must be a bible student. Who knows the mischievous act this action of baba may brought upon his children and generation to come by these oriades? Truly, the woman is wise and highly intelligence. Most of the battles that fight man are directly from his own hand.l hail your comment my beloved.

Obj needs to be tested for vascular dementia...........

ChristianMuslim:
Obasanjo is from igbo race, they are the only tribe that steps on their king like dog.. no wonder they have no recognize king in Nigeria.

Our kings can't be denigrated as yours

StrongInBed1:
Keep kwayet there, did your useless grandfather made it alive, the millions of yorubas that died in the hand of ojukwu nko, did the foolish adekinke told you what he saw.

You must be a dreamer thinking none of your tribesmen died fighting a lost war, what did you achieve with losing Lagos to same people.

Bloody coward that you are known for. Did the war ended in Total victory? You must be drunk.

Over 50, 000 of them were sunk in River Niger

googi:
Very wise lady.

Obasanjo, though stubborn, must save face by going to Ooni of Ife to apologize on his behalf to those Oba.
If he could prostrate for Ooni, a man younger than his own son or daughter, he can beg him to beg.

No matter what, some military remains in him.

..so if it's tinubu nigeria president that wants to address the obas .. won't the obas first stand up for tinubu ?

If it was the president of nigeria, Tinubu that wants to address the obas won't the obas first stand up and honour tinubu ...yes those obas will stand up for tinubu and honour him ?... Obansanjo is a former president so he also deserve some respect from the obas

Forgiveness

...if the president of nigeria, Tinubu wanted to address the obas..the obas will stand up and honour tinubu..yes they will stand up for tinubu ...so why can't they stand up for Obansanjo that is a former president of nigeria ?

franchasofficia:
Even though I am one of Obasanjo's diehard fans since 1999, I strongly condemn what he did to the Obas, maybe its old age and military blood that pushed him to do that. Make una forgive Baba, Tinubu a bloody civilian did worst to Osun Monarchs last 2 years when he told Osun State Obas that he was richer than the whole of Osun State and they were all shinning their brownish teeth at him because na Baba Bullion Van talk am, it is well

...but if the president of nigeria , Tinubu wanted to address those Obas...those Obas will had stand up and honour tinubu at that event...yes they will stand up...and why can't they stand up for Obansanjo that is a former president of nigeria? ..Does he also not deserve respect as a former president of nigeria

Stomoney:
Old age don dey worry Baba Obasanjo

ah swearu Gahd! Or he took something on that very day. Baba must have tried a new wine he hasn't taken before and it gave him the confidence to disrespect the Obas.

Talkative! Women should learn to submit to their husbands. The supercilious Obasanjo will not like this.

YOUR HUSBAND MA IS A SON OF GOD, A NIGERIAN LEGACY AND PROPERTY. WE KNOW HIS AGE AND HIS RELEVANCE IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. OBASANJO IS ALWAYS OUR STRENGTH AND WE THANK GOD FOR HIM FOR HE IS OUR LIVING AWOLOWO.

The people you call oba are SIMple men hustling for their daily 2k. Emir of kano was dethroned before our eyes and nothing happened but I bet most of us before now thought it was impossible

Those kings belongs to politicians and they gladly run errand for politicians to earn their daily 2k with some nice bonus.

Kings are not what they use to be, na governor dey sanction and annoint many of dem now.

The same kenny Martin's was accused of 7.7billion fraud in 2020 till today we don't know the outcome of the case. Same on this judiciary system of government.

bennybuhari:
Obasanjo has divorced this one taytay. This is the twin sister of Kenny Martins. She is not Obasanjo's present wife

is taiwo obasanjo still legally married to him?i used to see him in the company of a particular woman after demise of stella!the man knows the type of obas he could insult!can he insult the ooni,alake,awujale,obi,sultan and a long list of other highly placed royal fathers all over the country?HE WONT EVER TRY THAT!!

CJStarz:
Na who come be David here wey go marry the Abigail?🤣

Lol

I support Public Correction, but I do not support when it is done with anger like Obasanjo did.

For those saying he should have addressed them privately or he should have sent protocols to inform them, they understand nothing.

What is the number of kings present at that function? What is the total number of kings in Yorubaland? What is the total number of kings in Nigeria? What is the total number of kings in Africa and worldwide?

Obasanjo was not addressing just the kings present at that event. He was hitting hard at a major but sensitive issue that is present in almost every society in the world today.

Political rulers and traditional ruler's, who is higher in authority and respect?
Also it leads to the question of the relevance and position of traditional ruler's in modern age and time.

In the last few centuries, similar debacle ensued between the political rulers and the religious ruler's. Popularly referred to as the struggle of supremacy between the State and the Church.

That crises claimed the lives of a lot of Pope's, Bishops, and Emperor's. Today the matter has been fairly resolved that the State is of higher authority, but the Church holds a respectable influence in the society.

The issues we all shy away from addressing today, we will all come back to it tomorrow perhaps with blood on our hands.

Do not attack Obasanjo who is a messanger. Discuss about the message. In case you do not know, several governors and Presidents in Nigeria and Africa, past and present will secretly support Obasanjo on this matter, but none will be bold enough to say so in Public.

I drop my pen. Only the wise can analyse. Fools only know how to argue and insult. If you find yourself always arguing and insulting over everything, now you know your true name.

YOU ARE VERY WRONG!HE IS OUT OF ASO ROCK!ANOTHER MAN IS IN THERE!AM SURE,EVEN BUHARI WONT EVER TAKE SUCH A STUPID ACTION!!

Awwn... Isn't she lovely?

Aawn!, isn't her husband lovely too.

GRACIAS STELLA OBJ..SHE'S WISE AND KIND HEARTED
