Because he knows some of them more than they know themselves because he was the one that gives most of them staff of office unlawful so they must respect him.
Like JAGUN-JAGUN
Genuine Yorubas will never disrespect a king, no matter how powerful he is. I'm beginning to believe that truely, Obasanjos dad is an Ibo man that migrated to Ota/Owu.
Only those who know know the man is a bastard 💯
Oloscious ẹ̀dá ni ẹ! You know his history more than his family in Òwu, Abeokuta! Arrant nonsense!
You are an idiot. He’s a bonafide Yoruba man so keep that dumb idea to yourself.
Fuckin agbero.
Obasanjo was not demanding that the Kings should honor the Governor by standing up, to fulfill Obasanjo's selfish egotistical interest. It is to correct and reinforce the need to follow the Yoruba practice of honoring leaders according to their ranking in the order of who comes highest as a leader, as selected by the will of the people( God who is the only creator of sovereignty has invested His sovereignty in every person he created- that is why sovereignty belongs to the people ), selected either by voting or by any other just means determined by the people. Obasanjo was saying that these Yoruba Kings had violated this sacred Yoruba practice: that they as Yoruba citizens and role models were supposed to defend by putting it into practice.
@@martinokusanya865Your submission is tangential and incoherent.
When the throne became corrupt,maggots invades it.
Fredezekwe flathead talking about our culture. No be juju be that?
I refuse to condemn him.
Are those Kings not chosen by the governors whether in Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo states?
Did Gandollar not depose His Majesty Emir Lamido Sanusi Lamido effortlessly?
What did the Emirs, Obas, Obis did, they didn't even utter a word about it.
Did we not have about 7 ceremonial kings in Ibadan city, aside the real Olubadan, constituted by the previous governor without any legal or traditional backing, what did the traditional rulers all over the country do about it, nothing.
Traditional rulers have lost their respect ever since Baba Awolowo sent Alaafin and Awujale to exile in the 60's.
Some of them are glutton, onijekuje ni some of them.
That he shouted to asked them to honour the governor is my cross with him but not on his message to the kings .
Obasanjo has always been, been respectful to the obas,at least publicly.
He is making a difference between the office of the governor(who by law has to to accede to the appointment of kings) and the person of the king. As a person, he would prostrate to kings and Makinde would prostrate to him. But as a citizen, he would respect the governor and kings should do the same.
@@oluyemiogunjimi549 Yes.
Truth be told...almost all the kings in Nigeria have lost purpose & respect.
Gone are the days they were revered...
They’ve “lost respect” as you’ve claimed because of Colonial & ongoing Political assault
@@adentekle8338 replace the colonial with greed. During the colonial era,they were still valuable.
Because they are corrupt
That is the results of corruption
Obama never lost their respect ...we live in a generation that has lost morals.
No we'll brought up Yoruba man will disrespect an Oba of the Yoruba nation.
Obasanjo struggled to be Olowu himself but fail because he was never a Yoruba
Ni ibi ti ko ba ti si ese ninu yi yan oro, eni to ba je president ni a n pe ni Oba owo oba n'ile. Iyen tunmo si Oro awon oro...
Tolu Emiayo
This is Love
If he really want to follow culture he should be the one prostrating to the kings.

Only in their palace
@@martinokusanya865You're coprolalic
@@ayenim.a1657 He's receptive, not obscene, so not coprolalia. He seems to have another issue or just a paid bot
Exactly!!!!
FM: President Obasanjo is 💯 correct. Let me substantiate my view : A King is a royal leader of Sartain group or faction of people leaving or occupying a geographic territory . Who's duity is to ensure peace and tranquility rain in the land. While the President and Governors have enomonus power to protect lives and properties through the use and control of Army , Police force etc. Ceate and bring about social infrastructural development in the Land. Both the Governor and the President have the Power to declare a state of imagency but the King can not. Both the Governor and President while in office have immunity Claus while the King don't. The president control the Entire Nation including the Army forces as a whole and while each Governor act in the capacity of a president in their respective States. If any state have any crises the president will not call on the King rather he will call on the governor. if the state fails the local people or the settlers won't blame the King rather they will put all the blames on the Governor , in like manner if a Nation fails they won't blame the King's in the various states but rather the blames will be on the President . This show that both the Governor's and President play more significant role in the lives of its citizenry then the kings, Infarcts no basic for comparerism . Even all the King's in Nigeria No one is exampted they are all looking for one favour from Governors or President. In summary both the Governor and the President are more Powerful then any other king's. Don't fight for the King's they know better. And that is why they Obey OBJ. So guys STOP fighting for the Kings. And face the reality. One love to all tribe in Nigeria.
Fact
God bless you for ur understanding

@@martinokusanya865you're on a mission!
You're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT but, do these monarchs still remember & respect tradition? """There's a saying that when an elder drops himself to the floor, a little child will eventually assume his position as rag/mop for the floor."""
I wish i could see Makinde face when he ordered them to stand up.
He was the one that gave them king. There is king in Nigeria.
O s'èèwọ̀! Can't believe they all stood up!😱
I am guessing that the kings here are the smaller ones. He cannot do this if the late Alaafin of Oyó or the Ooni of Ife were to be present.
Exactly, they are elevated village Heads and chiefs because Obasanjo himself do prostate for high kings

Monarchy system of government na your mate
Respect is reciprocal. A king welcomes his visitors and act like a host not a king.
Think deep about it
Ooni of ife is a chief priest, the highest monarch in yoruba land is Oyo monarch. Nemesis of allowing government officials to make a king.
So sad.
I wish one of thwm refused he would have been thw Hero.
Nothing would have happened.
I feel angry right now.
How could you Humiliate them publicly
Listen to the words of wisdom. Listen to the wiseman in Nigeria. General Olusegun Obassnjo OBJ ❤❤❤ good man. I can not say this about any other retired General of the Nigerian Army. You fought against Biafra but you can never be my enemy because I was right there. May God continue to protect you at all times. God doesn't forget anyone when you do the right thing.
However who invited him in this occasion? In any Yoruba occasions he should be ignored because he’s not relevant and cannot be relevant again. The havoc he has done to Yorubas is enough.
Exactly
I love this man, it shows that he is a military man and he is even older than many of the oba's.
You have been stupid from the womb
Please hide your face
You are not a Yoruba ,but in Yoruba land we don't humiliate our kings publicly because they represent a whole community
The crown predates any form of government he’s referring to. I blame the kings for stooping low and corrupting the seat. That’s an insult to the tradition institution
I love OBJ very greatly. A man of the century,...
This obasanjo suppose to be slap,how many northern noble people are useless their emir like this,haaaa obasanjo you are fool oooooo

He was enjoying the absence of the late Alafin here.
In Yoruba culture, you do not rebuke an Oba publicly but you could address them and rebuke or educate them privately.
Even if a Yoruba Oba prostrate for you privately,you dare not declare that publicly.
I have great respect for Baba Obasanjo, but this time he got this approach at Iseyin very very wrong.
Commanding all these Ori Ade, to Stand up ,and seat down like the school prefect command of the Old school days is a ridicule of the traditional prestige of the Yorubas.
Baba Obasanjo should have demanded to see the kabiyesi in camera,and seriously educate them on their so called breach of governmental protocol.
Every geniue son of Yoruba must be ashamed of the humiliation of these costordian of our tradition in the public like Baba Obasanjo just did at Iseyin.
Please Baba tender apology to all Yoruba obas both in Nigeria ,and in the diaspora.
I also expect their son Seyi Makinde to tender apology to Oyo state obas.
Yoruba koni baje ooo amin
..
😢
We taught fulanis where bad but we ran into Yorubas who always support evil as long as it is
Wow! I'm surprised that all the kings acted hypnotized! There's no single one among them that could have decided not to stand up and also quickly awaken the others to sit down. It's a pity they rubished there exalted position
Look you made the best observation. I also wondered why they stood up and not one stayed seated. They ate the forbiden fruit off the hands of politicians. They've lost all dignity.
God bless you. It would have been a different scenario by now. It would have been interesting how the governor would have responded now. By what authority was he giving command to the Obas? They don't report to him. He holds no position currently. He is not the appointing authority and cannot remove any king. If they all refuse,what would the governor do to them? I expect them to just stage a walk out immediately he gave that stupid order.
It's obvious that baba is very high here. Once a soldier is always a soldier.
But he didn't ask them to greet him, he asked them to stand in honour of the governor
Wow, I'm impressed by this ur statement, very brilliant 💟💯
I'm a from a royal family,as a prince i think the yoruba kings have already sold their birth right longtime ago
Obansanjo can never say such nonsense to the obas if Alafin is alive and present on such occasions. Obasanjo is sad peter obi lost, so therefore he is releasing his frustration on the obas.
Hahahaha
Obi will give you hypertension very soon. Enjoy your jagbajantist.
Exactly 😂😂😂 that old man will remain sad forever
Yoruba suffer😂😂😂
Go for a refresher course in history, you obviously need it.
Obasanjo is an ex Head of State and ex president. Awolowo as a premier removed an alaafin of Oyo who interesting enough, happened to be the father of the immediate past one.
Obasanjo must be respected by all Nigerians if you like it or not. The Obas are not gods. Obasanjo is higher than all those Asoke clowns because he made some of them what they are. Their seats are covered with the help of Obasanjo. If Obasanjo is an Igbo give him back to me but the Yorubas will not allow Obasanjo to go to Igbo land because of their greed even some of them are supposed to be cleaning his Otta home for him. Dede watching from Barcelona .
See all the kings like primary school students.
Yes oooo Obasanjo turned the oba's to primary school students
😂😂😂😂
They only respected who single handedly made them King
Yoruba people should wake up and see how much their system has degenerated
Shame on OBJ but big shame on the all Oba if they couldn't or wouldn't do something about this open disgraceful act on them .
It's a wake up call
This abominable act cannot happen in Great Benin kingdom to our Great OBA of Benin, the Great Home Leopard 🐆 because he doesn't attend all functions outside his kingdom. The Ancient throne is highly regarded.
Big shame and high degree insolence!!!!
Explain tire no evidence
@@despman2412I agree with you, Any King should not stand up to greet any president or governor in his own palace, but it doesn’t mean that a president or a governor can not remove ANY king or ANY emir. Let’s get the facts right.
@@JamesJames-gf9ou that's were you got it wrong. That a president or a governor can remove a KING is a colonial mentality.
I western countries the president cannot remove a King.
Baba OBJ you will live long Sir.
BABA is a true yoruba man...i love him
No, Baba is not. No one has ever ordered Oba in Ile karo Ojire like this. If I was amoung the Obas sitting there I would not have stood up. Nothing Obasanjo fit do! He is not in power.
E be like say bolt don loose for ya head, there’s nothing he said or did there that reflects the Yoruba cultural heritage.
Obasanjo himself knows that his action and utterances asking the traditional rulers to stand up and greet him and the governor were awfully disrespectful and absolutely wrong in Yoruba culture irrespective of the age of the Obas (kings). Base on this singular act, he has lost the remaining little respect Yoruba people have for him. This is irrational behavior from the elderly man he is.
I refuse to condemn him.
Are those Kings not chosen by the governors whether in Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo states?
Traditional rulers have lost their respect ever since Baba Awolowo sent Alaafin and Awujale to exile in the 60's.
Some of them are glutton, onijekuje ni all of them.
@@adephilips9339Even at that, he shouldn't order them around in public. He's a former President what authority does he have over them
In Yoruba culture, two things, among other are respected.
1. Elders ( Ojo Ori)
2. Position ( Ipo)
The kings disregarded both by not standing for Makinde/Obasanjo.
Makinde is of higher position than them..infact, he pays their salaries.
Obasanjo is a former Military Head of State, a Former President (GCFR) and an Elder.
Respect they say, is reciprocal.
The kings are wrong here.
@@stdarayola.954 Ok, let's agree they were wrong. Does that make what OBJ did right?. He's a former president, he doesn't have any position as of today. Even if he was the president, there is how to make them realise they are wrong without barking orders at them. Additionally, why not let the governor deal with it, why getting angry on behalf of the governor.
@@notjohnAtall For me, OBJ hasn't done anything wrong. He is a former Head of State and Former President, by law, he still has some authorities.
He is over 85years of age, he is an elder and by tradition, he deserves to be accorded some respect by the Kings.
The outright dishonour given to himself and the governor necessitated his actions which was not wrong.
He has only but corrected the wrongs of the kings.
Once a soldier, always a soldier, manners used notwithstanding. He has passed his message.
No Yoruba leader should invite Obasanjo to grace any occasion any longer. Nonsense.
long live the great benin kingdom
See how OBJ ridiculed and disrespected our traditional rulers publicly. This is arrogance of the highest order. I blame the traditional rulers for not disobeying his command by refusing to stand up. It is not in our culture to ridicule our traditional rulers publicly. He dare not do that to Ooni, late Alaafin or Awujale.
Are you blind? Ooni was among those disgrace and disrespected by OBJ.
You be mumu
The idea is to make the people and obas appreciate the Governor's enormous work.
What idea?
Oba ba lori ongbogbo.
Outright arrogance and pride.
This humiliation was too much...seriously those Obas failed me
Let's promote our cultural heritage and he was commanding the Obas.
In Yoruba land, is there anyone greater than oba after he has been crowned
Yes! Obasanjo is from the Eastern part of the country. He cannot do this to the Igwes. The bitter heart he has on Yorubas are enormous, I can see today that he’s enemy to Yorubas. Obi not becoming the president of this country is telling on him. He’s a wounded lion that is ready to attack and this is the beginning on Yorubas. This situation does not calls for clap at all.
Idiot, must you make your useless comment without attaching it to the east. Ode.
You're incredibly foolish....you should be given a national title for your stupidity
U lack sense in and out, to even mention obi didn't win, because he did win
About what is going on about this for Mal president speech both of you are leader and leader need to be patient
This man still create another record but I don't know either good or bad
Let's. Forget about obasanjo and oyo obas, that s not issue
stop this lie, he didn't ask them to greet him, he said they should respect the governor.
It is the obas that insulted themselves not Obasanjo because he ordered them and they obeyed without argument, automatically they admitted and recognized his supremacy,
in the other hand, Obasanjo forgot to realize that he's no longer the president but a former president, only when he remember this will he apologize
I don't think the governor will agreed with him on his attitude to the king this is an abomination its a dangerous step
Thanks to the governor, may Almighty continue to streghten him. But sir don't relent on ur effort on Iseyin to Saki road, it would make life easy for the indigenes and other commuters.
This man will never go without a commensurate measure of reward for dragging these Obas. Chai! He rendered them useless. These Obas didn't try. They could have staged a walkout. He wouldn't have done that with Aláàfin Adeyemi on seat.
There is no more culture in Yoruba land.. useless Obas have traded their dignity with money..... there is more disgrace to come upon them.... have we all forgotten their attitude towards CSI? Kudos to OBJ
Excellent submission!
They are part of Nigerian problem.
Highly corrupt.
This pained old man😂😂😂
The monarch themselves made mistakes, they knew or supposed to know that it is against their tradition for a traditional ruler to stand in occasion like this, so no matter who had given that order they supposed not to obey, they should have sat down and told the person it is against their tradition. So blaming anybody now is medicine after death, I believe if Obasanjo was one of them sitting down and someone else ordered them to stand up Obasanjo will not stand up. This is what evil money can cause, when leaders are collecting evil money, it blind their eyes and derail their brain.
To me personally, I don't believe Obasanjo is wrong here.
Obas need to and must be respected by all and sundry. But in today Nigeria, many things have seriously changed in our culture just like the way we were doing marriage and burial in olden days compared to how we are doing it today. Even the way we install obas in olden days is different from the way it is being done today. According to obasanjo and with little I know about our constitution, government owns obas and the land on which their palace are built. This simply means Gov. Seyi Makinde is superior to any oba while he is still serving. Therefore, Obas should respect him as number one citizen in Oyo State.
Contrary to what I heard from the news and what people are saying around, from this video I watched, obasanjo didn't ordered obas to stand up for him but for Gov. Seyi Makinde.
No oba disagreed with him or disagreed to what he said which shows Baba Obasanjo is correct, he reminded them what they have forgotten. If baba Obasanjo doesn't have the power to do so, who then has the power to do so?
Obasanjo should go learn what happened to Bode Thomas when he disrespected the Alafin of Oyo.
I move this baba pass my papa 😂
How did all of you including TVC watch this video and concluded that he was asking them to Greet "him" and not the sitting Governor. Or is the Yoruba language that is confusing?
What’s I think really happen here’s that the oba’s disrespect the Governor
I think you’re right.
Obasanjo was right to demand that the obas rise to greet the Governor that gave them the staff of office. But he was a little rash in saying it.
Who is governor before Oba? Haa Yoruba! A lot of things ti baje ni Ile Yoruba. Governor give respect to Oba
No sir, this man is a yeye man finally.
This is the effect of of neo colonialism. Can any governor or prime minister ask the queen of England or king of England to stand up and greet him or her? But here in Nigeria, an ex president is ordering kings to greet the governor. This is possible because the kings know that probably tjey are not the rightful heir to the throne. This is Nigeria where anything can happen
English is indeed a colonial language, we should make our local languages official language
English is what joins us all. Language isn't the problem, mentality is. I bet you're a Christian
It would have made more sense if you wrote that comment of yours in your native language. You are still promoting the very same English. How ironical.
If you need your own yoruba country say it
This is unacceptable.
Ọbas are not subject of ridicule like this.
This man is just too fun of himself.
This is what you get when you attended every party they invite you " and every political invent😢😢😢
I remembered chief Ogunde, Yoruba ronu, it is true obasanjo has been the president of Nigeria that did not gave him ordersity to have commanded obas the way he did in that gathering, what a ridiculous insult to the monarch, it is shameful, oba igba Keji orisa
Say what you like, Obj is a bross! Raw power in raw display!
They will prostrate to Tinubu 😅
Past and present nigeria leaders will give account of our continuous predicament
Truth be told. What is the role of a traditional ruler in today's Nigeria? Purely ceremonial and of no significance whatsoever
They are his boys and this what happens when the crown is corrupt. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅.
Firstly, yoruba still have culture but people like obasanjo are reasons people thinks we don't have culture, obasanjo can u ever disregard Alaafn of oyo or Ooni of ife the way you disregard these kings? Obasanjo u no try at all and secondly, that serves those hungry kings right since they had traded their respect with money.
OBJ Baba I Hail
This is a disgrace to Yoruba Tradition and culture, except if I'm proven otherwise.
We have gone past the days when kings, Emirs , Chiefs and Obas were the rulers of govt . You can not compare an independent state and govt with the pre-colonial and colonial days where the traditional rulers were the ones ruling on behalf of the colonial masters. A king ruling over a few section of the state , appointed by few representatives of that few section and whose appointment is confirmed and coronated and given staff of office by the state Governor elected by the people of the whole state to govern the entire state and given all the powers to appoint and remove the king under his state by the Constitution of the land, who is more powerful?
The truth is the Governor is most powerful over them but for the sake of respect for culture and tradition, the governors never use their powers over them except in rare cases. But I think respect is reciprocal. Any Oba that fails to give the Governor his due respect is not worthy to be Oba because the seat of a Governor is a creation of the constitution and every segment of the state be it traditional, religious, cultural etc must respect the office according to protocol even if the Governor is a small boy.
What an insult, a true yoruba man will never for get the traditional, what do you expect from a per whom didn't know his origin, a confused man that doesn't know the actual ethnic he belongs to. This proof where he belongs to in Nigeria.
There is no law in Nigeria thats says everyone must stand when an elected officers comes in ...its simply protocol.
Makinde is just a baby governor ...whobis likely going to be forgotten if he leaves office ...he should apologize to the Obas because arrogant OBJ will not
Baba Obasanjo ❤ your spesch of today.🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹
The kings are under the Nigeria constitution. They're not above Nigeria constitution. They're not god. Governor is the first citizen of Oyo State and he has power over anybody in the state. Constitution supercede traditional rulers in Nigeria. All protocol must be respected and observed
You are here just spilling fallacy we aren’t in monarchy system anymore and it’s a democracy so the mornachs aren’t ahead of governors and president and all the first class Oba will not go to a function and at the entrance of a governor president they will pay respect by standing I have witness that countless time so it’s total disrespect to see those 2nd and 3rd class Oba disrespecting those who gave them staff of office so this isn’t about obj but Makinde they disrespected him and obj is bold to correct them u can hear him say he use to prostrate to king and they do to him too so let’s learn many are shouting he can’t do to Alafin and I ask who will give the staff of office to alafin we respects kings but we need to also understand this is 21st century and our constitution doesn’t give any mornach that power to feel important than the government after God na government ❤
This is too bad an act of a man who claimed to be of Yoruba origin.I doubt the originally of this claim by baba Obasanjo!
Why should they greet him
Obasanjo was not demanding that the Kings should honor the Governor by standing up, to fulfill Obasanjo's selfish egotistical interest. It is to correct and reinforce the need to follow the Yoruba practice of honoring leaders according to their ranking in the order of who comes highest as a leader, as selected by the will of the people( God who is the only creator of sovereignty has invested His sovereignty in every person he created- that is why sovereignty belongs to the people ), selected either by voting or by any other just means determined by the people. Obasanjo was saying that these Yoruba Kings had violated this sacred Yoruba practice: that they as Yoruba citizens and role models were supposed to defend by putting it into practice.
The day some idiots started making the highest bidders traditional chiefs. I knew we we're heading for big trouble. I met an old friend after a few years and to my suprise he was addressed as Otunba. This guy was a very unserious person at school a cronic womaniser and drug abuser. But because he comes from a rich family, a title was bestowed on him. Now an Igbo man is disrespecting our Oba's.
They must be fools to stand up for Obasanjo they should have cautioned him on the spot but because they have eaten the forbiden fruit, they have no mouth to talk.
First i was thinking he is joking but he wasn't....Obasanjo is their Oosa they are igbakeji oosa.....yeye kings......all this stupid isese people will not talk now but they want Imam to prostrate to them .....Mad people
Kudos to Ebora Owu. The most useless traditional institution in the world today is OBASHIP. you see the way they laugh at their own folly. Enslaved minded people & they will demand respect from we younger generations. O ma se oo. This is the result of Ori - buruku to gbe ade s'ori. Respect to late Oba Adeniran Alowolodu Alaafin the last of the legendary true Oba.
Obasojo is an Ibo man.
The Yoruba Kings need to call Obasojo and correct him. Obasojo you can not disrespect our Kings. Obasojo you must withdraw your statements and apologize to all Yoruba’s and Kings.
Another mumu spotted.
Is Oba Ooni among?if yes I pity these Oba’s.
Yoruba does not encourage the kings to stand up for anybody. Ewo ni fun Governor and even Ex president to ask them to stand up. It is very Rude and Insultive. Pa Obasanjo should apologise to Yorubas.
Is Obasanjo, a yorubaman that he suddenly realise that we need to elevate our culture.. What good has he done for the Yoruba....He must forget that the yorubas now know that Obasanjo is an Igbo man...hence he is good in messing up the yorubas culturally and politically anywhere and every where.
I can't blame baba Obasanjo here, but the Obas that didn't know their rights as the upholders of their culture and traditions, only seeing themselves as puppets. They should have stood their ground by ignoring Obasanjo's order.
If I may ask as a Yoruba person.. what are the impact of the obas on yorubas youths unemployment.. bcuz is my 13years now without employment..let everybody directed themselves pls
What kind of employment are you looking for from traditional rulers.
Their Presence Is merely simbolic.. What do you think they can do??
All this ones (monarchs) just clothes Monarchs appointed by councillors for political decoration.
I'm gradually being vindicated. obj has never been a statesman, a Christian, a true Nigerian and clearly not Yoruba. I have said it before that he is one good sample of a narcissist. The same obj KNELT before Atiku, begging the latter to allow him a second term. A man (liar) who tried, unsuccessfully, to bride members of the NA to screw the constitution to allow him a third term. The same obj who orchestrated the elimination of Bola Ige. The same obj who stole billions of dollars meant for the power sector. A man who by all means has a supposed PhD. A man who ruled, or rather ruined, this country for over a decade. Only those who hate the country will ever glorify him.
Disrespectful can any president or prime minister tel the Queen of England to stand for him or her. Absolutely ludicrous attitude nd disrespectful to our yoruba culture
Obasanjo, is nothing to me and to all yorubas. His cup is full, and he shall be disgraced and be shame very soon
He has forgotten he is no more a president but former president.
😅😂 exactly 🤣
He dey pain am LoL hahaha
My Sister, Obasanjo was not demanding that the Kings should honor the Governor by standing up, to fulfill Obasanjo's selfish egotistical interest. It is to correct and reinforce the need to follow the Yoruba practice of honoring leaders according to their ranking in the order of who comes highest as a leader, as selected by the will of the people( God who is the only creator of sovereignty has invested His sovereignty in every person he created- that is why sovereignty belongs to the people ), selected either by voting or by any other just means determined by the people. Obasanjo was saying that these Yoruba Kings had violated this sacred Yoruba practice: that they as Yoruba citizens and role models were supposed to defend by putting it into practice.
Why did the Obas stood if they know themselves?
Ok wen another today now in charge said he was richer than states n obas y said Notting ...so pls stop saying more ..obj is grandfather ..n grandfather of nation too ..
Why do you Igbos always popnoise into what does not concern you?

But this old man contradicted himself even from his statement. That he used to do bale for Oba when he was President and the Oba may now dobale for him when he is his inner room, or am i not hearing well? Could this be old age or his usual abosi?
This is too bad!!!!!!!
I have said it before and I'm saying it again that: there are only 3 kings in Yorubaland;
1. Awujalẹ̀ of Ìjẹ̀bú Ode
2. Ọba Of Benin
3. And rests of obas alade pálí
Àwọn ọba ọ̀hún náà ń jèrè iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ni, wọn ò tíì rí ǹkankan..
Lets be truthful here...all the emirs,obas, olus, igwes, amanyanabos and the rest can be appointed and removed at any time by the governor...sometimes even local government chairman. Look at what Ganduje did recently to emir sanusi of a whole kano emirates....form awolowo to abacha, there have been different times where these kings are deposed and exiled by political leaders......in true sense the power rests with the governors, President etc.
The traditional rulers are more or less cultural icons and figureheads.
Real power resides with the politicians
