Xenophobia attacks in South Africa did not just start today. It have been in existence even before the Oluwo of Iwo Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi was crowned king in late 2015.

This was a picture of the current and popular Oba protesting against xenophobia attacks in South Africa at a location in Canada in 2014 about a year before he was crowned king.

He's a king now sir, I don't think his royal office will permit that undecided
There are other ways his voice can be heard without the placard...IMO

What is a king without his people

until we realize that leading means service to the people, we might not get it right!!!

He has more power now than he has then.

A placard carrying king? Kinda strange sir! Carrying placard won't make him a better king! I still believe there are more dignifying ways a royal father can protest a wrong doing undecided

Who knows if it was such works that made him the king!!!

I will leave you with the words of Mordecai to Esther:

"If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”

You can chew on this!!!

Did you read the topic...? it's an old pic to match an old topic (that the Oluwo protested back in 2014).
It even has the words "2014" and "throwback" in it grin

Weh done Oluwo

What he can do as an individual is one thing. What he can do as king is quite another. He does not need to carry any placard anymore; he just has to say the word, and hundreds will carry placard. So just because you don't see him doing something, doesn't mean he does not have effect.

The foolish Zulu king later retracted his statement and claimed he meant to tell his people to get Farm implements to cultivate the land


Whereas eyewitnesses claimed that he told his people to get weapons to chase away foreigners from their land.


I don't speak Zulu but how on earth can both sentences mean the same thing.

Which traditional rulers?
The one in Onitsha who glo feeds or the ones in your "Autonomous communities"?

Your traditional rulers who attend the birthday parties of children and fight for t-shirt and souvenir.
