Unbelievable, a Yoruba king in Gambia.
This beats my imagination, its time to have a Gambian king in Abuja, and the sooner the better. |

Janko Please review and take note of interesting comment (i,e. "with very little explanation") trying to support plausible reasons promoting these traditions and roots of culture in quote extracted from Daily Observer links above;
quote:
"It is important to mention the Yoruba religion, culture, tradition and dressing in Africa with little explanation especially when it comes to this type of event (coronation), that is always colourful and witnessed by different dignitaries and Obas in particular. So far so good, Yoruba people had their own form of religion before the advent of Christianity and Islam; they believed in their own deities, which changed with each geographical location. There are many deities such as Sango-god of thunder; Ogun-god of iron; Soponna-god of smallpox; Yemoja and so many other gods. These are believed to be intermediaries between Olodumare - God and man.

| By account of keen observers, introducing Nigerian traditional chiefs for such event is a plan to create atmosphere for breeding Jammeh's wild dream of becoming king. |

Let Yoruba crown their king in Nigeria. Gambia does not require king in any form. After that unwelcoming ceremony, lrt the king stay away from Gambia.
Only hope that this will not attract AFPRC looking up to coronation of their party leader ? To be king, may be Chairman Jammeh has to resign his current post. |

I wonder how many Yoruba Kings are in the US and UK? These two countries must have a larger Yoruba community than little Gambia.
