Yep, all of a sudden, it no longer looks real.

JimiOgunlola:
Look at what yoruba race have turned into. Can Aisha offer to shake the Sultan?

These people have degraded the our yoruba custom, why some still support fulani is beyond me.

So if Aisha Buhari offers to shake Obama and shakes her, Sultan is greater than Obama!

For your mind.

Did you expect the poor dude to refuse the "First Lady"'s hand?
Abegi, it was wrong for the first lady to initiate the handshake with someone that elderly. As I said earlier

rose54321:
This is so annoying, my major issue with some Hausa's is their lack of regard and respect for other tribes traditional rulers and culture.

How can our "First Lady", be extending an handshake to someone old enough to be her father. Even if he is not a traditional ruler, respect for elders should have taught her otherwise.

The same way when Ooni of Ife visited Buhari, our president couldn't even bend.

This is so wrong, if it's the sultan of sokoto or some other Northern traditional ruler the approach would have been different.

This faction of Hausas need to learn to respect, accommodate other cultures. They should remember that your tribe (be is Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba or any of the other minority groups) is only part of you, it's not all of you.

We are Nigerians and to survive as a Federal Republic we need to coexist and show regards for others.

Fat cow.
Go back to school.

Check what shook means before you start calling someone "olodo"

I don't know if people are just foolish or they don't know how to reason..!!

Alki:
U can't be that close to d Oba of Benin

And so bleeping what?

What I can see here is that Ma Aisha wanted to greet Pa Alafin with a normal handshake initially, but the Alafin respectfully and smilingly corrected her. That is why she corrected herself and brought forward two hands and now Alafin placed his on top.

*modified*
Besides, there's nothing out of place in what transpired between them there. Ma Aisha acted out of ignorance, not disrespect. And Pa Alafin acted out of decorum, not disapproval.

SamMilla1:
Excuses as usual.

look at the pictured very well Aisha's hand was under and the king made a fist to touch her hand. that's clear enough

oya as the op don change am make u sef cover up by changing your own

Craze dey worry you, aswear. So the Alafin is even allowed to touch hands with a woman? What's the difference between shaking hands and touching hands?

You people were shouting on the other thread that's it's an abomination for a woman to touch the Alafin, now you're saying it's just touching hands and not shaking hands.

Bunch of superstitious people.

Many have eyes but they cant see.
With those pics some are still saying alafin shook her hands.
If Alafin decides to shake her hand,plz how does that high someone else BP.

They did not shake,he just dropped his clenched fist on her hands,maybe to give her a soft landing.Its really not a big deal,it was an error in protocol which can happen anywhere.Obama"s wife had a similar issue when they visited the Queen of England.These people are humans too so let's not always expect perfection.

To m. Oh Aisha Buhari didn"t shake Alafin Of Oyo(Iku Baba yèyè)..... Look at the pics very well,Alafin dropped her hands

Surprised that at your age you still don't know the difference between Hausa and Yoruba including the fact that they have different identities, way of the life and culture.

Alafin is not the Sultan and the Sultan is not Alafin.

And another Cricket gets smashed with a wrecking ball.

By now u neffa know d "identify borrowers/thieves"?

I don't understand why some cursed people have taken it upon themselves to worry about how others live their lives. Alaafin shakes hands, they complain. Oba travels to UK, they complain. Ooni travels to US, they cry till eternity.

What manner of stupidity is this?? Why don't you people worry more about your Ezes that are drug lords in far away Australia??

Obama did this and US media almost killed him. ...

That is why they have the effrontery to send their Fulani herdsmen to maim, kill and murder our people with so much impunity after destroying our farms and livelihoods.
What do you expect when we have a "bastard" as our Asiwaju Asiwere, who selfishly sold us for his personal bowl of porridge

Awo Family Without An Awo By Sam Omatseye (The Offensive Article)



https://rarerborealis.com/wordpressblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ns_9095.jpg



The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

Groucho Max, one of the funniest satirists in American history, said of a man that he got his looks from his father. Then he quipped, “He was a plastic surgeon.” That means the son is not his real son, or he did not inherit his natural looks. Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others. He was the one who stuck his neck out. He could have lost his life or ended his career in politics. The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide.

The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail. Political families are good for democracies. They can exemplify the high ideals of diligence, dignity, ideas, character. We have seen these in such families as the Kennedys, the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Ghandis. They just don’t claim family. They appeal to the high ideals that endeared the families to their societies.

It’s also an irony that these families are falling into twilight. Some of them have vanished. Enoch Powell, a British MP, once gave us the famous line: “All political lives, unless they are cut off midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure because that is the nature of politics and human affairs.”

Columnist Ambassador Dapo Fafowora adverted to this idea in a recent outing, and I debated it with him afterwards. I don’t believe that a political life should be judged by how it ends but what it means. The quote is often missed by many who mistake “careers” for “lives.” A political life should be judged by its legacies. If we judged Awo by how he ended, we would look at him only as the loser to Shagari. That is why I see an intrinsic mischief in Enoch’s quote. But I would agree that political families end also in failure if you judge how they peter out and not the legacy.

Awo’s legacy is alive and well. Members of other families in flesh and blood can carry on. Immediate families tend to suffer from what an author, Noemie Emery, describes as dynastic curse. The children tend to be intimidated by the standards set by the fathers. So they just don’t want to try. They feel they cannot match them or come even close.  The problem probably comes from the fathers themselves. The Adams, who produced important presidents, later gave birth to moral vagrants and drunks. The Bush daughters showed themselves as party girls when their father was contesting the political battle of his life.

But Joe Kennedy groomed his sons assiduously, and they excelled in politics. They also had a fair share of tragedies. Ted Kennedy regained his sobriety and voice in America after a season of debauchery. In Nigeria, we are seeing the Sarakis fade. A Saraki – Bukola - is wiping out the Sarakis from politics. It is a classic case of oedipal tragedy, something I predicted earlier this year on this page.

It is not late though for the flesh-and-blood Awolowos to join their father’s fold. But they must be genuine. Awo was the most important Yoruba personage in history after Oduduwa. They had stellar men like Oranmiyan, Balogun Latosa, Lisabi, Sodeke, et al. None of them had the unifying vision and organisational acumen that Awolowo gave the race. The wife, children and grandchildren should not watch others glow in his jewel without them.
