Desecration of Traditional Institution in Yorubaland by Former President Olusegun Obasanjo - Oluwo

I trust myself and my stool. At death, there are certain things my soul will not take let alone when alive, active and kicking. I only blame the monarchs who stood in obeisance to such an ignoble and desecrating of traditional institutions from the old man. Respects should be earned not demanded.

Traditional Rulers respect their subjects too. There is a way respect is accorded to people of old age and position by monarchs. Kingship is an institution of God. As such, relating with kings requires a high sense of modesty, courtesy and respect.

The display by the former president of Nigeria, General Obasanjo was an affront, an intentional desecration and sacrilege against revered stools of Yorubaland. An injury to one is an injury to all. Yoruba traditional rulers are not uniform men anyone can command at will. I don't blame him, those Royal Fathers who stood up to obey such an embarrassing direction are to be blamed.

I've strong assurance that such will never happen in and some few monarchs I will not mention "Iwo kogba igbakugba"

The show by the former general is condemnable. Yoruba traditional institutions demand an apology for the open desecration to molest and bring down the institution. He needs to prove himself as a core Yoruba man with an apology letter. Kings are not toddlers. We are fathers. He will never dare that against the Northern Emirs.

This action should be a great challenge to the Yorubas most especially the Royal Fathers. This is the result when monarchs joined Ogboni confraternity and became junior to a roadside mechanical engineer or carpenter. As a responsible monarch, you don't have to join any secret society where you may be controlled by a teacher or even an herbalist.

Thread carefully. Obasanjo was actually saying the truth. What I don't encourage is the manner he presented it. After God, na government. No dey play.

The manner he said it is what everybody is complaining about.

So what are u saying

Obj do dem wetin wike dey do traditional rulers for river state.... Obj own better pass, wike na open insult e dey deliver with enough anger and bad ridicule.

E tell one say e dey pose with oversize crown, say the guy na small boy of yesterday wey dey smoke igbo for corner

Government own them and there's nothing they can do about it.

Why won't OBJ disrespect our esteemed traditional rulers when Royal thugs like him abound everywhere.
