8. Oba Saheed Elegushi

7. Oba Of Benin

The Oba of Benin, or Omo N’Oba, is the Oba (king) of the Edo people and the Supreme Ruler Of The Benin Kingdom. The current Oba was formerly known as Prince Solomon Akenzua but is regarded as His Royal Majesty Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa I.

The Benin empire is one that spans decades and is occupied by the present day Edo people also known as Bini people. The Oba, usually decked in red and white attire commands untold influence and he never parades about without a cogent reason to be in public.

It is said that once a new Oba is crowned, his first son will never set eyes on him again till the day he dies. And yes, the Benin Kingdom is one of the few monarchical systems standing where only the eldest son ascends the throne.

6. Muhammad Sanusi II

Former Central Bank governor, Alhaji Lamido Sanusi was crowned Muhammadu Sanusi II, the 14th Emir of Kano in June 2014 after the death of his predecessor, Late Ado Bayero. Sanusi is a highly learned individual who pushed far reaching reforms in the CBN before he left unceremoniously.

As Emir of Kano, Sanusi has matured gracefully into the role and now moves around with the air of a true king. He is loved by many and when he dons a pair of sunglasses on his amazing Northen regalia, one cannot but salute the man himself and the power he weilds.

5. Dein Of Agbor

Benjamin Ikenchuku Keagborekuzi I is the current ‘Dein of Agbor’. He was only two years and four months old after being born in July 1977 when he was crowned king following the the unexpected death of his father. He is currently 38 years of age and has proven to be a wonderful leader driving far reaching reforms in Agbor.

In 2006, President Obasanjo named him Chancellor of University of Ilorin, thus making him, at 29, the youngest Chancellor of any university-public or private-in all of Africa. He is known to be one of the most stylish kings around as his chains and rings are like none other. If we had to pick a king who ruled over the empire of ‘Swag’, it would be the great Dein.

4. Oba Rilwan Akiolu

The Oba of Lagos may be the king of Lagos but he serves as a ceremonial ruler of Lagos which is arguably the true heart of the Nigerian nation. Oba Akiolu has no actual political power, but is sought as a counsel or sponsor by Nigerian politicians who seek support from the various residents of Lagos.

Oba Rilwan graces top notch social events in the city and his dressing, swagger and entourage is unmatched.

3. The Obi Of Onitsha

The Obi of Onitsha, His Majesty lgwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe is the traditional leader of Onitsha, Anambra State, southeast Nigeria. The office of Obi is recognised by the state and federal governments of Nigeria, and the Obi himself is serves in the capacity of representative of the Onitsha people to the government at state and federal levels.

Achebe is one traditional ruler who has earned a lot of respect and loyalty from his subjects. He is the twenty-first in a dynasty that has thrived for more than four hundred years. He occupies an important position among the people of Onitsha and he is personally associated with the conduct of essential aspects of Onitsha local affairs.
