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.
