Am not your bro, not even your blood, 22 year old Ondo Monarch, Oba Oloyede Akinghare II has issued serious wanning to the general public to accord him the royal title due to him.
A 22-year-old traditional ruler in Ondo State, Oba Oloyede Akinghare II, has stirred quite a buzz after making it clear how he wants to be addressed by the public.
Am not your bro
The young king has drawn a line in the sand, stating that he won’t accept casual references or informal greetings anymore. He insists that people should refer to him solely by his official royal title.

Sources close to the palace reveal that Oba Akinghare II feels that using informal terms for a reigning monarch undermines the dignity of the throne. He pointed out that, no matter his age, the crown he wears symbolizes tradition, history, and authority that deserve respect.
His bold statement, which can be summed up as “I am not your bro, I am not your blood — address me as King,” has gone viral on social media. Am not your bro
This warning has sparked a divide in public opinion. Supporters argue that traditional institutions rely on respect and protocol, asserting that age shouldn’t overshadow royal authority. Am not your bro
On the flip side, critics contend that leadership — especially from a young ruler — should focus more on humility and building connections with the people, rather than strictly enforcing titles. Am not your bro
Analysts suggest that this controversy reflects a larger conversation in modern Nigeria about how traditional institutions should evolve in an age of social media, youthful leadership, and a more casual culture. Am not your bro
It remains to be seen whether this firm stance will bolster the monarch’s authority or create a rift between him and the public.
What do you think? Should traditional rulers demand respect, or should they earn it first?
Meanwhile; Peter Obi drops bombshell every Nigerian must not ignore, he says Tinubu borrowed $90 billion without investing nothing on Nigerian youths, he claim if $5000 is giving to every youth in this country the country will improve economically in a short while.
Former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has ignited a fresh wave of national discussion by claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has borrowed a staggering $90 billion, raising questions about how such a colossal sum has been spent.
In light of Nigeria’s escalating economic struggles, Obi contended that the crisis isn’t due to a lack of resources, but rather a result of misplaced priorities and poor leadership decisions.
He suggested that if just 25 percent of the borrowed funds were directed towards Nigerian youths, it could have a transformative effect on the economy.
“Imagine giving Nigerian youths $5,000 each to kickstart their own businesses; you’d see poverty take a nosedive,” Obi remarked.
His comments have resonated widely on social media, particularly among young Nigerians grappling with unemployment, inflation, and soaring living costs. Many believe that targeted, well-structured funding could empower millions of youths to become job creators instead of job seekers
Economic experts point out that successful micro-funding initiatives in other developing countries raise important questions about why Nigeria continues to borrow heavily without seeing tangible benefits at the grassroots level.
While supporters view Obi’s remarks as a practical approach to tackling youth unemployment and economic stagnation, critics argue that funding alone won’t suffice without robust institutions, accountability, and effective monitoring.
Nevertheless, one thing is certain: his statement has reignited a vital national dialogue about borrowing, governance, and empowering the youth.
If Nigeria has access to billions of dollars, why are its citizens facing greater poverty than ever?
