What is the benefit of still having these royal homes in Nigeria for goodness sake? It is time to eradicate this useless thing. Almost all of these kings and their families are looting tools.

AristocraticMe: The same attitude of the Yoruba with Title and Oba entitlement, is the reason Nigeria is what it is today.
When people hear Colonialism, you must think the British just walked into Nigeria and started taking control? No.....
A Yoruba king called Oba Akintoye invited the British to help him dispose the former kings son, King Kosoko in return he will abolish slave trade and give the British access to land, cheap labour and so on...... he signed a treaty he did not fully understand...... thats was how the British came to Lagos, they did the job for him but he lost total control of Lagos to the British and he committed suicide 4 years later........ from Lagos the British started bulldozing their way into other parts..... (There was nothing like Nigeria then... though)... The story is deep.......
Three Things that destroyed Nigeria. 1. Oba Akintoye - The Yorubas 2. The Amalagation of Nigeria 3. The First Military Coup Plotters (The Igbos).......

Igbos never plotted any coup in Nigeria.... This is willful stupidity. Choosing to believe a false narrative when the truth isn't hard to find.
It is a clear case of giving a dog a bad name to hang it....
The Oniru beach and Estates alone they can kill anybody.
XXLMANDIGO: The Kingdom is Money making kingdom and hub for tourism , hospitality and aquatic business. The Princes are obviously fighting for pecuniary gains and interests and that's why they could throw all decorum to the wind.
The Hausas have an adage, ‘seriki goma, sanmoni goma’ which translates to 10 kings and 10 reigns. It is the reign of a new king and the early they embrace the realities, the better.
BERNIMOORE: Lies from pit of hell..we all expected a fabricated version from those faceless alatënujes who would want to cover up Tinubu who just forced his former PA as the new Oniru. They will defend Tinubu opposing restructuring calling Gani Adams and Obaseki traitors.only to have a reward of 2 cups of rice and vegetable oil
If you watch the video, before he was even slapped, you'll hear someone alleging that he slapped him first.

In August 1965 a group of Army majors (Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Timothy Onwuatuegwu, Chris Anuforo, Don Okafor, Humphrey Chukwuka, and Adewale Ademoyega) began plotting a coup d'état against incumbent Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa.
AristocraticMe: That is just sarcasm...... they were 5 officers... 4 were igbos one was yoruba..... Google is your friend.....
Mr man, Nzeogwu is not igbo. He is from the asaba axis. Unless you are telling me that people from that side of the Niger have agreed they are Igbos. His people denied him, Igbos embraced him

Lanrelagboi: People fight realities in different ways but for Adesegun Abiodun-Oniru, the Aremo of the past Oniru of Iru Kingdom, it appears the reality is just settling in that not only is he no longer the Aremo to the throne, but the fact that he isn’t the man chosen for the throne is just beginning to become a reality he is being confronted with.
During the reign of their father, the immediate past Oniru, Adesegun and his siblings and friends lived like kings, they lived it to the very hilt, a life of opulence and royalty, with undisguised disdain for the indigenes and residents of the kingdom.
Even the other princes and princesses of the other royal families were seen as lesser being to the sons and daughters of the then reigning king, this particular perception of the other princes may just be the reason Prince Tijani Oniru could raise his hands to slap a prince on official duties from the palace, Prince Murisiku Ajasa.
The face-off between Prince Murisiku and Prince Tijani Oniru ultimately led to the invasion of the palace Sunday, July 5, 2020.
It is important to note that the faceoff yesterday between a prince of the Iru royal family of the Akiogun branch, Prince Tijani Oniru and some members of the enumeration committee led by Prince Murisiku Ajasa on the duty of enumerating the properties of the kingdom on the instruction of the new Oniru, His Royal Majesty, Oba Abdulwasiu Gbolahan Lawal is rather unfortunate.
As a father to all, the doors to the palace is open to all, especially to the princes and princesses of the kingdom, and should they have any grievance on any ongoing project, they ought to approach the palace and seek clarification, rather than engage the committee members who were carrying out their duties.
While there may have been a misunderstanding between Prince Tijani Abiodun-Oniru and Prince Murisiku Ajasa and the committee members, in the course of carrying out their duties, it is expected that as a prince of the royal Iru family, Prince Tijani ought to have handled the situation better and not resort to physically engaging his fellow prince and the committee.
Invading the palace in the company of policemen is an action unbecoming of princes of the kingdom but it can be understood that it may be actions taken in the spur of the moment, but speak very poorly of them.
Oba Abdulwasiu Gbolahan Lawal has maintained an open door policy since ascending the throne and enjoys a very cordial relationship with all the princes of the land. Adesegun Abiodun-Oniru should have put a call through to Kabiyesi and make his grievances known, rather than invade the palace with his brother and policemen.
As a former law enforcement officer and a well read and traveled individual, Kabiyesi Abdulwasiu Gbolahan Lawal abhors violence and will never subscribe to the use of brute force or thugs in carrying out any of his plans for Iru kingdom, rather engagement and dialogues has been the route of choice since his ascension.
The ongoing enumeration exercise being carried out by the new Oniru is for the benefit of all the three branches of the royal families, i.e the Akiogun, Abisogun and Ogunyemi families.
In collaboration with consultants, the palace is working assiduously to collate information and create a database of all assets, information and properties of the kingdom for records of the Oniru Royal Family. There are no malevolent intentions to the project whatsoever as far as we have seen.
The Oniru as the custodian of the heritage, values and assets of the kingdom knows that a proper documentation of everything being held in trust by the throne, will go a long way in creating accountability and equity within the kingdom, for generations unborn.
As a father to all, Kabiyesi Gbolahan Lawal has reiterated that a peaceful coexistence between all and sundry within the kingdom is his number one priority, as well as redeveloping and rebranding the kingdom for the benefit of the indigenes, residents and businesses within the kingdom.
The sons of the former Oniru should accord the new custodian of their heritage the deserved respect and should conduct themselves in manners consistent with royal upbringing.
The Hausas have an adage, ‘seriki goma, sanmoni goma’ which translates to 10 kings and 10 reigns. It is the reign of a new king and the early they embrace the realities, the better.
