In a video shared online, the monarch revealed that although his passport was still valid until next year, he decided to renew it early for another ten years.
Holding up his old passport, which had holes punched into it, Oba Akanbi explained:
“My passport has not expired yet; it will expire next year, but I deemed it fit to renew it now because it is valid for ten years. It was a 24-hour service; they punched holes in the old one and issued me a new passport.”
Monarch hails Canada as best of the best
The Oluwo expressed deep admiration for Canada, stating that while he hoped Nigeria would one day achieve the same global standing, he currently regarded Canada as unmatched.
“This is another 10-year renewal of the best country in the world. Nigeria will be the best too, but right now, believe me, Canada is the best of the best. I love Canada; I love it,” he declared.

The monarch’s remarks on Canada come shortly after another video of him went viral, in which he firmly rejected accusations that he smokes marljuana.
Speaking at a public gathering, Oba Akanbi described the allegations as malicious and invoked curses on those behind them.
“They are lying against me. They are unfortunate people. Unless I am smoking marljuana, if I’m a smoker, God should remove me from this throne. You who are accusing me of being a smoker, God will punish you,” he said.
