Before the imperialists interrupted traditional systems of govt, Kings reigned supreme & were next only to God.

Interruptions were not only done by imperialists, kingdoms invaded & dominated other kingdoms leading to wars, displacements, slavery

For Nigeria, the British Indirect Rule preserved traditional institutions but watered down their powers extensively, making them 'figure heads'.

The current reality is that an Oba, Kabiyesi, Obong, Sultan, Olu or Emir is entitled to ONE VOTE

What then is responsible for the reactions to the removal of Emir Sanusi II?
His personality?
Our emotional attachments to traditional institutions?
Our true desire for right over wrong?
The perception of corruption on the Chief Antagonist, 'Dollar-Man'?
