I thought he was better than them?

Obasanjo should stop hanging out with wayward children of the yeast.

To be honest I don't see how an ex president and an octogenarian like OBj prostrating to all this small boys a good thing, what kind of culture is that where a almost 90 year old man will be prostrating for a 30 or 40 year old king.

Only idiots did not understand his statement then.

Of course, he would prostate to any one of them in their palaces if he deems fit but he also expected them to stand up to dignify him at a public function. It's not as if they were asked to prostate. It's just the same as a governor kneeling down in front of a pastor for prayers in either the pastor's church or office while the same pastor is expected to rise to greet when invited to a public function that the governor is also present at for ministration.

Not WEAKLINGS like Soyinka or Drug Pushers like Bola Tinubu! 😒
You need to upgrade your crying methods .
Re: Ex-President Obasanjo Prostrates For Olota Of Ota by IfnobeGod20(m):
People are just playing politics with what OBJ did in Iseyin. The man is a well known respecter of traditionalll institution. The only influencer Yoruba man I know that observe traditional protocol. I have challenged anyone to show me any Yoruba man often greet our royal fathers and prostrate. Even does political supporters are hailing around doesn't respect our traditional stool like OBJ.

Please give it to OBJ abeg, eben while he was he was a serving president, he prostrated countless times to his kings but can same be said of jagaban? Tinubu never did such even while he was an incubent gov and ex. The whole talk from SW was because obj never supported their candidate and besides those oba dey ment, aren't they supposed to stand up to acknowledge an elder stateman, an ex military general and an ex president?

OBJ Bleep up, he supposed use koboko tear their shrink bombom to serve as deterrent to other obas.
Don't mind them all. Some of them just chose to act like illiterates.

Palé be calming down.



Can one man wage war against his entire people and expect to succeed?



Though protocol is a necessity, the way and manner he humiliated the Obas was a no -no.



The backlash he received must have formatted his thinking faculty.

This is one battle OBJ cannot win.

That's not true. There are loads of pictures of Obasanjo prostrating to Yoruba kings. He didn't start it today.
Of course, Baba has always been a man of honour. I think what happened the other day was just a slip.

They are prostrating/respecting the crown and not necessarily the person.

Same way the British respects the crowns. People much older than Queen Elizabeth were bending the knee/kneeling and bowing for her when she was crowned or whenever they meet her.

OBJ is not a coward, he's been prostrating to greet kings not today. He's a man of tradition and no man or influencer person beat him for that.

NONSENSE.

Even if that is the new convention he or you want, you do not start it by shouting at them in public to stand and sit.

Dem born you well so?

The only Man Hausa and Fulani hackens and tremble to in the entire Southwest, Southeast and Southsouth


The rest Politicians and Obas, Chiefs and Igwes can not tame or talk to the Hausas and they will respect.

After Obasanjo no more....

Re: Ex-President Obasanjo Prostrates For Olota Of Ota by Ventura1:
He didn't just start prostrating, he was only trying to emphasize the principle of give and take.

A Governor that can dethrone a King deserves respect from such King.

Thank you.

Now he knows he is in AFRICA.

THESE PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE white colonialists forced them to WORSHIP FOREIGN GODS, that the AFRICAN GODS no longer exist.

NOW OBJ, who holds a degree in christian theology, KNOWS BETTER.

It wouldn't surprise me if OBJ began feeling little pains in his body here and there since that shameful episode, before somebody now advised him to not dare the GODS, hence his public display of humility.

You cannot insult the GODS in broad daylight and feel confident walking around as a person.

You people alway think in one direction.

Olusegun A. Obasanjo was once the commander in chief of the Nigerian Defence System.

And not even from a Civilian background.

He can be anything my brother, but definitely NOT stupid.

Politician are playing politics 🙄 you just dey watch!!!

What are you talking? OBJ has been prostrating before Kings even when he was the president.

He just wanted to teach them. No body is above learning. I don't understand why the media and some people are blowing the thing out of proportion.
Re: Ex-President Obasanjo Prostrates For Olota Of Ota by shinealight(m): 10:23pm On Sep 27, 2023
Looks like this man is a desperate ATTENTION SEEKER….always wanting to be in the limelight for something controversial.
Next thing he will ask for Bakassi Peninsular to be taken back from Cameroon after ceding it to the latter during his regime!cool cool
