Speak for your culture if you are not knowledgeable about more popular kings outside your culture. There is no such thing as one king being more superior to another simply because they are from a large ethnic group. That doesn't make them powerful

What's Muri of Jalingo doing there?

Uka Aku is the Traditional no 1,in Nigeria there's still a traditional state existing in Nigeria. While others are powerful religious leaders, being specific to traditional power is Uka of The living Kwararafa Traditional State. It's portrayed dead or extinct in the books, but try to find out why both the federal government and all I say again All tradional leaders pay homage to Uka of Wukari as a yearly obligation.

You’re actually the one being not-so knowledgeable. Yes, each king might be influential only in their regions but some have more regions than others. For example, the Sultan of Sokoto’s influence doesn’t end with Sokoto, his influence spans across every State where you have Fulanis and Hausas and because of this cult-like follower ship, it’s not an exaggeration to say he’s more influential than the Obi of Onitsha who (to many Igbos) isn’t regarded as their king because these set of igbos (majority) have this belief that KINGSHIP is a borrowed culture as everyone is a king in Igbo land.
Just like the Sultan of Sokoto, the Ooni orisa of Ife and Alaafin Oyo are not just kings to only Ife and Oyo kingdom respectively, they are kings over all and every Yoruba both home and abroad. Their jurisdictions don’t end in Ife and Oyo respectively, their influences span across everywhere Yorubas are found (Benin republic, Togo, Nigeria, Brazil, Cuba, etc )
So it’s very erroneous to claim that no king is superior to another. Do you even know that some of these kings have other kings as their subjects? Get yourself educated, this is not another dick-measuring contest but kings don’t have equal influences and some of them are influential beyond their immediate areas of jurisdiction.

That's it oh! If this 10 kings endorses you for Presidency or Governorship in their states or general elections forget it, you will win. They are indeed very powerful.

riczy:
not Great Oba of Benin, do your findings

all of them rest.

There is a difference between kings that are born as kings and kings that are made by others.
This is where the great Oba of benin stands out, He was born a king like the great Obas
before him.

None of them knows how I survive.. Rubbish!

Barteze:


You try but and a very big BUT let me just add to Norh - central and southeast
North - central: you shouldn't omit Etsu Nupe and for southeast Eze Nri comes first.

Thank you. I sincerely didn't this. But I have added them

Where is Emir of Zazzau

Dongquairootx:

It's your business if your own king is almajiri, mine is a man-God.
He's powerful.

so which another country apart from Benin people are speaking your language? The same Benin king that was banished to calabar by king of England

Bobbyjay001:

so you are ignorant that there are first class kings as recognized by the Federal government.

Bro you go fail if you no fit bribe inec and court

Nothing like powerful Kings or Queens in Nigeria, everything has been politicized those occupying those titles are as useless as used sanitary pads
