OBJ was simply correcting the Traditional Rulers as an elderly Yoruba man and a senior to most of them. And he clearly stated his reason. He also clearly establishes the fact that the Governor and Obas are not mates when it comes to governmental positions, so they ought to respect him (the governor) and pay obeisance along with others (They must have all sat when others stood to honor the governor). This man's emotional intelligence is on another level; Notice how he begs 'please and please' as he explains his point, but is stern when he gives his instruction. Always a general indeed. And they all knew that he was preaching what he practiced.

Obasanjo was not doing it for himself... He was teaching the Obas the right protocol... He didn't disrespect culture, he is just setting protocol and he is very right... Obas are subjects to the executive governor of a state and executive president of the country... such governor or president can only reciprocate out of respect... but that's the due order, it's not an age thing, it's about the office occupied... If an Oba will not observe proper protocol such Oba should remain in palace and not attend public functions... it is appalling how people don't understand proper protocol and start to cast aspersions on the person of Obasanjo who was correcting the Obas...

Well, for me I think what baba did here is not as embarrassing as we see it and say it. We need to first agree and accept the fact that traditional monarchs have been constituted to answer to the Governor of there state. The Governor is there principal Officer. If they don't show respect to him then they are not doing well. Stand up for the governor doesn't reduce them in any way. I have personally see a picture of Obasanjo while he was president prostrating to a oba. The tone he used might be harsh but don't forget he is a retired general. We should expect that. Born I respect his confidence to set the record straight. Apologies to the obas. I know it may be embarrassing but then the did is done and both party should learn and conduct well better in the future

[caesarashom]

General for life. Baba, we hail oohh!!

[CONSIDA]

Now, Am beginning to understand that OBJ father was an Igbo man, from Anambra State .

[shedrackudjor]

Obasanjo is very honest on this issue. As embarrassing and degrading as his remarks is, we must admit that he is telling the bitter truth. Our traditional rulers/monarchs are puppets/vassals to colonial powers during colonial era and our colonial leaders passed the baton of supremacy over traditional monarchs to our federal and state government after independence, they all serve at the pleasure of the president and governors of of our country🇳🇬. Take Emir Sanusi for example, it was a governor in Kano State called Ganduje that dethroned and exiled him, this proves to Nigerians that obasanjo is 💯% right here.
But I would also like it even more if OBJ travel to Edo State and say this same thing to the Oba of Benin.

HENCEFORTH, YORUBA OBAS MUST NOT ATTEND ANY OCCASSION OR EVENT WITH OBASANJO.

[deoladeolarasski]

Those kings they're not unique king they're chose by political Obasanjo know the real king 👌👌👌

[RozayZee-tpbb]

That's baba. The realest of them all. Stay alive to see the country grow sir. Respect from New Jersey

[tongstimothy]

As a Berom man from Plateau State, I respect The seat of the Gbong Gwom Jos, more than any Governor or President in Nigeria (With all due respect to Pa. Obasanjo).
This power struggle did not start today, it's from the colonial era. Where the foreign system of power always finds a way to show its supremacy over the indigenous African Leadership. The former President could have ignored the Monarchs and moved on with his speech.
It's a bit petty to me.

[arreyenoh]

I’m from Cameroon but this is wrong, totally and completely wrong. This is like asking the king of England to bow to the prime minister. Yes everyone should respect the governor but remember that position was introduced by Europeans. This very Obasanjo prostrate on the floor to the Ooni of Ife. Why didn’t he ask the Ooni to get up and welcome him? Shame on u baba.

[beekaydee]

They disgraced themselves. He is a FORMER President. He is now a private citizen. Traditionally, they are above him. Further more, he is in their kingdom. By standing up, they disrespected themselves and embarrassed Yoruba culture.

[dadafemi]

he deserves all the respect because he gives the respect when visiting each of them he prostrates

[onwanyiulegede]

I don't claim to know what the protocol between traditional rulers and government officials is. Neither am i sure of the point at which this drama was enacted- that they didnt stand to welcome him and the governor or rise in obeisance as he walked to the podium to speak. Whichever it is, the manner he conveyed the order was my headache. Did obj need to howl at them like they were his houseboys? He could have said the same thing in a nicer tone by way of setting precedent for next time. The problem with Nigerian leaders is that they have entitlement mentality and suffer hangover from the way their positions are deified once they leave office. What he did was disgusting and simply showed that he lacked respect for the traditional stool. He never disappoints though. If he did better, i would have been surprise. He just wanted to make news as well- seeking relevance.

[interestingthingstoknow]

Obasanjo is right... The Royal Fathers need to show respect and stand up for the Governor and him as a former President.... He is probably older than all of them there and a former President is a President for their The Governor approves all royal titles no matter the King... the constitution is clear....

[folaludare]

You people did not get the context of all this.
Obasanjo is a very respected man.
Before he can say they should do that, he must have noticed they didn’t honor the governor.
Which is very wrong.

[RobbySyzing-mtzo]

The kings applied maturity and wisdom, they did not stand up because they are stupid, they also respect his age

[smartphoenix]

What an acute embarrassement. He must be out of his mind saying this in public place

[kummighty]

When they have sold their anyone order the late queen of England to stand up?

[muyischrist]

OBJ pass bandary, he must make a public apology
