@ruffydfire Even you self is confused already. Did Trump say he's coming to take over the government of Nigeria? This is about the evil terrorist group killings. Please, try and understand this issues very well.
@vdmempire You have said it all, it's time we end this era of barbaric killings of innocent citizens of Nigeria by this evil terrorist group. We are tired of crying over terrorist killings. Whoever against the plan of Donald Trump is evil.
@DonAzag Thank you immensely for this your wonderful analysis here. I wonder why majority of we Nigerians have decided to remain dubious as a people. Trump never say he's coming to dislodge the present democratic govt, rather the government should protect the citizens against terrorists.
The First Oba Who Refused to Stand for a Governor in Nigeria
Oba Ademuagun Adesida II was installed as the Deji of Akure on October 28, 1957. That same year, he was inducted into the Western House of Chiefs, popularly known as “Ipade L’Obaloba.”
During his very first attendance at the House of Chiefs meeting, an unforgettable event occurred—one that would forever distinguish him as a monarch of courage and dignity.
All traditional rulers from the Western Region were present, including the Premier, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. From the Ondo Province, five Obas were in attendance: the Deji of Akure, Olowo of Owo, Osemawe of Ondo, Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, and Elekole of Ikole.
As the Premier entered the chamber, all the Obas rose to their feet in respect—except Oba Ademuagun Adesida II, Ekun oko Eyesorun. His calm refusal to stand caught everyone’s attention.
Chief Awolowo, surprised by this act, inquired who the seated monarch was. The Deji replied firmly:
> “I am the Deji of Akureland, Ademuagun Adesida II.”
Awolowo questioned his audacity, to which the Deji responded with regal composure:
> “Is it right for elder monarchs like the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adesoji Aderemi, or the Alaafin Ladigbolu to stand for you? When we studied law in London, did you ever see anyone enter a hall and the Queen stand for them? Even in Nigeria, though our system differs, respect must still be given to whom it is due.
We inherited our thrones from our forefathers—only death can remove us. You, however, were chosen by the people’s thumb, and through that same thumb, you will be removed. I, Ademuagun, will never stand for you.”
The other Obas, including Oba Akenzua of Benin, were stunned into silence. A heated exchange followed, during which Oba Ademuagun removed his crown, placed it before Awolowo, and said:
> “If you believe you deserve the honour you seek, place this crown on your head.”
Before Awolowo could respond, the Deji rose and left the meeting hall. Some omodeowas (palace aides) quickly retrieved the crown and followed their king out.
The confrontation caused great tension between the Deji and the Premier, but years later, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe intervened and reconciled both men in Akure.
Many believe Oba Ademuagun’s boldness stemmed from his training as a lawyer—educated and self-assured, he understood both the law of men and the dignity of kingship.
His wife, Olori Asake Adebola Adesida, witnessed the event, and Regent Adebusola Alice Adesida later confirmed it.
Respect to Oba Ademuagun Adesida II — the lion of Akureland, who stood firm before power and upheld the honour of the crown. Omo Owa, Omo Ekun Laafin. Iku pa ni han da’re.

@PatNwogu@BashirAhmaad@officialABAT Sit down there and be shouting monopoly everywhere, your mates are great investors everywhere in the world today. Did he stops you from venturing into any business of your choice? Honestly, enemies of this country are within. Very unfortunate.
@NigeriaStories Nigeria is really the more you look the lees you see. Same CAN that always shout Christian genocide in Nigeria now saying different thing. Very shameless set of human beings.
@humeeemk My problem is not the taxes, but where all the money collected is going to or being used for. One of the serious issues in this country is not how to generate revenue, rather where the funds end up. Should Nigerians be suffering paying all of these bills into private pockets?
@SEANKAFOR @DejiAdesogan It seems you haven't witness petrol burnt incident before? Even if you are not asleep,but taken unaware, there's nothing you can do.Don't forget when it's sprays on you and the light sparks, especially when putting on clothes,it's deadly because you can't easily put out the fire.
