Kings who indulge in clubbing, drinking do not deserve respect – Alaafin

Yoruba kings and chiefs who indulge in clubbing, smoking, drinking and other untoward behaviour are not worthy of honour and any respect, says the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi.

Responding to reports in social media credited to him as saying that after Wasiu’s coronation, he was not expected to prostrate before some kings in the land, the Alaafin said, “I did not mean that he should disrespect the royal fathers. On why the musician was chosen for the title, the oba said it was time Yoruba people honoured those who had distinguished themselves in their callings.He said gone were the days when Yoruba people were silent about the exploits of their own while they were being honoured in other areas.

“Through music, some of them criticised government’s excesses. A king who wants progress for his people should listen to good words of music that are deliberately picked to correct societal problems. I looked round and acknowledged the efforts of some of our musicians who are not just singing for the sake of it.

“We have been on the issue of the Mayegun for the past 11 years. Today, the Mayegun has been installed. His duty is to ensure that things go well and right and excesses should be addressed.Buhari can’t fix Nigeria’s economy, says PDP

He is just complexioned like a police man

Most monarchs are like that around the world. Does the queen of England make laws? Kings will remain kings and they'll be respected till the end of the world.

Kingship in Nigeria now are ceremonial heads, the constitution doesn't recognise their roles and they don't make laws or by-law,politicians remember them when elections are round the time has changed,so also the seats
