Obasanjo my man. Correct them because it seems all they do is increase their harem.

This yamiiri still dey talk.

We are Yorubas.

We don’t wake our parents and obas up with side-kicks.

What Obj did is a taboo in Yoruba land.

Am not Youruba but I think that is an abomination. Although, some Elders have no regard for their throne but the position must be respected

what obas did before he did his own for Dem is disrespectful for NIGERIA your corn-tree

These are supposed to be District heads and not oba. Ajimobi created some oba during his tenure because he was fighting with olubadan. Is that the type to be expecting homage from governor

TemplarLandry:
He's gonna rue that.

For saying the truth? Hypocrite.

next time sir, ask dem to dobalee they are not worth the honour they are asking for, what is honour when it has not been earned

rajiedreez:
Will he have instructed Oba of Benin or Emir of Kano to stand up if they were there

The monarchs you just mentioned now aren't from the West and the last time i checked, the northerners and other geopolitical zones have their own traditions/cultures.

The governor is the first citizen of every States for your information.
Can you tell me what happened to the so called Emir of sokoto, Sanusi L. S?

God bless you

So Queen of England during her life time used to stand up for premier minister?
This people just come to brainwash us, what they are not doing in their land,they telling you to do it.Youruba ronu o

President obasanjo did nothing wrong.
I do not know of any top personality living or dead that respects traditional lnstitution like president obasanjo does, despite his age and personality.

The truth is that with the exception of very few kings and obas, the traditional stool has been bastardized by the so called rulers.

Many so called rulers are miscreants and touts.
Imagine the miscreant oba in lekki lagos who brought out "oro" in broad day light during election, in the name of stopping people from voting LP.
Many others were disgracing themselves here and there for tinubu.

Oba of Lagos who is usually threatening people here and there during election was only silent and humble this time around because of the Nebuchadnezzar treatment given to him the other time.

The oba of Benin is one of the few who shows how kings should rule.
There is one first class Oba in ekiti state I can't remember his name. He is also a shining light.
There are few others here and there.

As a king, you are father to all. You are not a political party coordinator. You reduce yourself to a joke when you go political.

The Oba of Lagos in particular is very shameless. He's make known to the whole world that he's Tinubu's Lapdog.

BossGerald:
In public? Are you okay?

Stop defending rubbish, it only makes you look foolish

If it's an exchange the oba or reasonable people won't see as an insult, then the feelings of antagonist don't matter. This is a friendly banter/exchange between them, as everyone know this oba and Tinubu has been friends for long, so he and seyi might have playful exchange they share. Who told you this is public, how did you come to the conclusion that that was public?
It is you that is not okay.

God bless you my brother.... Have had different view concerning this since Friday

BossGerald:
I don't understand the hypocrisy of my Apc yoruba Muslim brothers

This is seyi tinubu dragging oba of lagos beards yet everyone turned a blind eye but obj telling those chiefs he's far older than to stand and greet him is a problem.

Because obj supports Peter Obi? Why the hate??

He was not evening asking for himself, he was asking them to show respect to the governor of there state

During the Gubernatorial election the same governor will be visiting Obas soliciting for votes; now he is powerful.
Baba Obasanjo got it wrong on this.

I want to state that Obasanjo is the only Nigerian leader I know who can command patriotism from my humble self and other well meaning Nigerians because he has proven severally that he is honest about building a united Nigerian state.

He is not like the other politicians that only pay lip services to the quest for unification of Nigeria without acting in line with their words.

Kudos to baba OBJ. I love him personally

This old man have finally outdone himself. What a shame the obas brought it upon themselves because of inordinate love of money and laziness. If they earn their own money they will not be capitulating to such a failure like obasanjo who has failed in everything, family head, military head and civilian president. Nothing to write home about.

Kingcalls:
He is an ex 2 time president ... they were meant to stand up when he got to the podium ...that's courtesy

From the main post, it wasn't their actions towards him that made him angry but rather towards the sitting Governor.

“It later became the turn of the governor to speak. As he rose, every other person at the venue, including me, stood up as demanded by protocol and in respect for the governor and his office. Again, the Obas refused to rise. They all remained seated.

“I then asked people around whether that was the practice in Oyo State. I was told the Obas have always displayed disrespect for their governor. I wondered where they got that from and then decided to speak to them about it.

He ordered Obas in what fucking capacity? This man sees himself as God's gift to Nigeria. I blame the spineless Obas for springing up from their seats in response to his order. They dragged themselves and their royal titles in the mud. I dare him try that in the north with the Emirs and Sultans. Utter disgrace.

One t.hing i know baba will always do even if he is not agreeing with you is to give honour to your office. Thumbs up Sir

DamnnNiggarr:


baba Obj, Na lie you dey lie🤥

We know say you're trying very hard to shield Obi's image from public dragging.
We know say na Peter Obi manipulated you into disrespecting Yoruba monarchs.

Oya! let's come together and blame Peter Obi


Haba!
is it that these my able bodied guys don't identify sarcasm when they see one or what?
Broses, na sarcasm jare.

Let's blame Peter Obi according to one lunatic like that, that calls himself FFK.

Don't mind FFK, anywhere belle face politician

Na Peter Obi cause am" according to FFK. Ofe mmanu people always looking for Igbos to blame anytime they fail to impregnate their wives. If not for anything, they will say that Emeka abi Shukudi sold them fake tramadol and Viagra. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏃🏃🏃🏃

Lying down or kneeling down does not concern me as an ordinary and free citizen. The main question should be " How have the Obas and the so called governors bettered the life of ordinary citizens which is actually why they are in office. Am not moved by all these chieftaincy of a thing when you cannot improve the quality of lives of your subjects. Bye bye 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

rajiedreez:

those one are not disrespectful

I don't think standing up for an elected or unelected government official is a rule of law but a matter of courtesy.

If you have to order people to stand up to greet you, there is no true respect in that.

Na Yoruba matter

Taboo ko, tabbonn niii. But the English baba say here is very clear to dumb person to understand. There is constitution and there is culture. Even in North, if Governor is coming talkless of President, they always stand up to give respect. Forget about culture, Baba cannot told them to stand up if they were in their palace that is culture. So far you are in Government event, you respect the constitution. Baba do well baje baje

musicwriter:
While I understand very well what Obasanjo is saying but that would only be right if we have chosen slavery instead of freedom.

A nation's constitution comes directly out of the culture!! The constitution is just the written law as approved by culture.

In an un-colonized free African society, the prominent king would be the president. The next prominent king would be the governor. The lesser kings would be the local government chairmen and councilors.

If we were truly free independent people and in our right state of mind without being mentally enslaved and without the cultural disorientation we now live with, the people that should actually dictate for Makinde and OBJ are the kings. They are the custodians of the very culture that birth the constitution.

As I've always said, we must make a conscious decision in Africa whether we want to be truly free or partly enslaved forever.

You are the ONLY intelligent person on this thread. The rest are just thoughtless zombie slaves of British agenda. Completely brainwashed to hate themselves and their heritage. They are disgusting.

Thanks for your fresh air of insight and intelligence.

It is an ABOMINATION for ANYBODY to command a traditional leader to stand up.

It is a DESECRATION of African culture and tradition, and OBASANJO is a an absolute WORTHLESS ANIMAL and a BASTARD to dare try and justify his ABOMINATION.

Nonsense.

So because foreigners invaded us with guns a century ago, we must now abandon our thousands of years old culture of respect for traditional leaders?

Now ORDER traditional leaders to stand up and sit down?

Because the British came here with guns?

How can a people be so fcking stupid and hopeless mentally?

How can you allow foreigners to come in and use a GUN to destroy your age old traditions?

Demented, stupid people.

Tufia.

His former wife, Taiwo, is just seeking attention and clout.
She's still riding on Obj's wave. She's still bitter and used the slightest chance she saw to throw jabs at Obj. Bitterness isn't easily cured.

This old man should go and sit down.
