A senior North Korean military leader has been executed for "factionalism, misused  of authority and corruption," a South Korean government official with knowledge of North Korean affairs. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to give further details on how or when General Ri Yong-gil, chief of the North Korean Army's general staff, was executed. Ri was appointed to the position in 2013, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. One source told Yonhap that Ri was executed last week.

The general is the latest in a line of disgraced officials who have been executed by Kim Jong Un's regime. In May of last year, Hyon Yong-chol, the country's defense minister, was publicly executed a...

“We are not in Yorubaland. To be frank, it is because many of them are not willing to come up with the truth, the word Oba is alien to Yoruba monarchy; it is not part of their title from time immemorial. “For instance, the one they call the Oba of Lagos, these are recent adaptations. In the 50s, there was no Oba of Lagos, what we had was the Eleko of Eko. That is the title of the King there. In Ibadan, you have the Olu Ibadan. You come to Abeokuta, you have the Alake of Egba land. You come to Oyo, you have the Alaafin of Oyo. In Ilesha, you have the Owa-Obokun of IIesha. So no Yoruba monarch had as part of his titles the word Oba except the Oba of Benin. “That word Oba is indigenous to Benin. It is only in recent times you find everybody bearing Oba. When the Western Regional conference of traditional rulers took place in Benin City in 1942, go and check the attendance, there was no other monarch in the whole of the Western Region then that bore the title of Oba, except the O...
