Ever since Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was ousted as the emir of Kano, by the Kano State Government, I have been reading comments in here like...

"they can never try this with (Inserts the name of one compound chief from a remote village)"

"the government will never attempt to uninstall (inserts the name of a family chief)"

Bla Bla Bla...

See, there is Royalty and there is Royalty. There are momentous levels to this game that goes beyond our 50 kobo sentiments...

The aura and charisma a traditional stool oozes, together with its historical progression and significance is how it will be treated...

Apart from these SS3 boys below:

Ooni of Ife
Oba of Benin (this particular one is nobody's mate)
Sultan of Sokoto

Your traditional ruler is at the mercy of the state government. The government will install and uninstall him like a mobile app and nothing will happen�... It is a very bitter pill to swallow. I know that. But let's resist the urge to argue about "realism" and "idealism" today... On this discourse, please ignore what is ideal and rather talk about what is obtainable.

What do you know small boy?
Didnt Sani Abacha remove a Sultan of Sokoto?
U werent born then i guess.

Just to let you know, things have changed. This is not precolonial era. Traditional rulers are now puppets on a string. They are no more powerful as they were before, they can be removed at anytime if they dont play ball... and they know it.
By the way, who pays their bill?

Hmmm..... Ever heard of Alaafin Of Oyo?

Sultan of sokoto my foot, where were u wen dasuki father was dethrone by abacha? Guy go learn history

Generalissimo75:
Hmmm..... Ever heard of Alaafin Of Oyo?

He has been dethroned in 1955 relax

No king is untouchable, but fighting Ooni, Alaafin and Oba of Bini will attract serious retributions on the governors.

OP go read your civics and history textbook. You should know traditional institutions are subordinate to state governments. These traditional institutions cant collect taxes without the state government.

You have said it all, traditional rulers no matter the level of jazz are like mobile apps that can be installed and uninstalled

....omo iyaa I hail oooo



if you know....you know

Come and see chest beating...



Ooni of Ife


Oba of Benin


Sultan of sokoto ..



Walahi na children full here

He was dethroned by Awolowo but what happened thereafter? Awolowo died a very shameful death and Bode Thomas his right hand man barked till he died.

For me, the Oba of Benin is the only king among the ones mentioned that can not be replaced until he dies.
Yes, the political authority can unseat a traditional ruler according to our constitution but that authority can not
appoint just anybody to ascent the throne in Benin.
Dethroning the Oba of Benin is like totally eradicating the Benin Royal stool. Even the British with their almighty
colonial powers couldnt replace Ovoravwen. Onyaregbulem, ones military administrator, had issue with Oba Eradiauwa an we
all know how that ended.

Please leave Oba of Benin and Oni of Ife out of these discussions. Those 2 are on a different level entirely from all the other traditional rulers in Nigeria

f

The sultan of sokoto has been deposed before.

It's like this guy does not know history.

There are Kings like the dein of agbor and the asagba of asaba with more unshakeable royalty than these so called popular Kings.

They have two heads?

Or did their kingdoms trespass beyond to other Nigerian kingdoms in pre colonial times?

Don't mind him. he was not around then.

Rubbish. There is no untouchable king in Nigeria right now. Governors are actually the real Kings as far as states are concerned. Alaafin, Sultan and Oba of Benin have all been dethroned by government in the past without any problem. No king is bigger than the state governor. They all serve at the mercy of the state government.

Olodo kids everywhere...

The Sultan of Sokoto was once dethroned, Dasuki to be precise.

The Sultan of sokoto has been dethroned before; the alaafin of Oyo also.Even the oba of Benin can also be dethroned.

When was an Oba dethroned and another took over?

I like where you are coming from, but kindly note that traditional rulers can be removed by the sitting governors of their states. And as a matter of fact, when Lucky Igbinedion held office c.2005 he too nearly removed the Oba of Benin from office, due to ruckus between the Oba and Nosakhare Igbinedion. The difference was the people of Bini kingdom fought against it and the Benin traditional stool being held in such high regard he had no choice but to back down.

Answer my question.

Did the ife kingdom tresspass to other kingdoms in Nigeria?

Same with Atta Igala. He can never be Dethrone
