This book deals with the place of monarchy in Yorubaland which the
author has creatively used to pay homage to the paramount king of
Egbaland, King Okukenu IV. In this compelling mini-biography and
insights on monarchical rule in Yorubaland, the author of KING
OKUKENU IV: Long May He Reign, Oloye Oludotun Koleoso chronicled
the childhood, youth and ascendance to the throne of one of
Egbaland's most successful monarchs. Since Okukenu IV succeeded to
the throne nine years ago, Egbaland has seen huge social, political
and economic change. The book also challenge readers to seriously
reconsider the role of the monarchy to which the Yoruba people is
always linked, the author also argued about the old age matter of
the illegal transfer of sovereignty from the British to politicians
giving a clear indication that the time is ripe to review the
sovereignty, amalgamation and nationality issue in Nigeria. "Oloye
Oludotun Koleoso re-opens an interesting flank in Nigeria's
perennial post-Independence debate in this book, King Okukenu IV, a
literary and musical celebration...Eminently readable and delivered
in the classical tradition of humanistic scholarship." Kayode
