Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - From Nnamdi Azikiwe: " a lamp to guide our feet..." & history that vindicates the just

I am not sure I agree completely with this statement.  There was the story of Bode Thomas slapping or being rude to an Oba, which we were told resulted in the curse that killed him. And also the deportation and exile of Oba Olagbaju by the Action Group among many conflicts between AG and the institution of monarchy in the West. The agenda of the AG was more focused on rapid modernization and radical change, and not merely preservation of tradition and Obaship. They used the institution and not the other way around.
