She is a regent!she rules while the search for the next Oba!Deji commences

ak47mann: [b]Princess Adetutu Adesida- Dike, the first daughter of the late traditional ruler of Akureland, Oba Adebiyi Adesida was on Saturday installed as the Regent of the ancient town.

The development came almost a month after the Monarch, who was until his death, the Chairman of the State Council of Obas, passed away in his palace, during a brief illness, at the age of 63.

The traditional installation of the Regent took place at the Palace of the town on late Saturday evening and was carried out by the chiefs.

While speaking with reporters at the palace, the Regent said she would do her best to contribute to the development of the town during the duration of her regency, saying ” I take it up where my father stopped with the help of almighty God”.

On leaving her husband in the United States to take up a traditional position in Nigeria, Adesida-Dike said: “the regency can not disturb my role as a mother and wife and as a career woman, I have also taken leave of absence from my place of work in the United States, my husband knows that I am a Princess before he agreed to marry me and he also knows that anytime my father died as a king, I have to assume this position, so there won’t be any problem.

“I know this is a duty I have to perform, so I have called on my God to help me to succeed in the journey and also that God will help the king makers to choose the right person to be the next king”.

She then called on the state government and the entire people of Akure land to give her their supports in other to succeed in the task.

Adesida-Dike, a United States of America (USA)- based pharmacist will be on the throne until the installation of another Monarch.[/b]

Really? When was the first?

ndu_chucks: This is the way things should be, we already have a Youruba lady representing a Northern state in the senate, now we have a potential Igbo Oba in the SW. We need similar results in the SE as well, a Fulani Eze or Obi would indicate political maturity.

Here's a phoograph of Princess Adetutu Adesida- Dike, the first daughter of the late traditional ruler of Akureland, who was installed as the new regent in Akure. Are women allowed to wear Babanriga in Akure?

We already have a Yoruba Lady in the IMO STATE house of Assembly.

my name is ashaolu launren alexandre am from Akure i mean indigene of akure Princess Adetutu Adesida dike ,s sons can contest for oba,s throne in future but only oracle can decides if the oracle picks him nobody can change anything remember the story of father of Princess Adetutu Adesida dike her father died because the previous king was sent on exile and deceased king never eat king,s heart and the previous oba was chosen by gods but he was sent exile because of misconduct there is adage that says if one king does not die one cannot be restore (ti oba kan ko ba ku oba kan kole je ) those chiefs behind couple they were all dead now the previous king clamoring to come back nobody want to be king and died

It's so embarrassing that Nigerians think old Kingdoms in Africa had no standard civilization
