The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has expressed admiration for Canada after renewing his international passport, describing the North American nation as “the best of the best country in the world.”
In a video shared online, the monarch displayed his old passport with punched holes and explained why he renewed it before expiry. “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 10 years. It was a 24-hour service; they punched holes in the old one and issued me a new passport,” he said.
Oba Akanbi added that while he believes Nigeria will achieve greatness in the future, Canada remains unmatched for now. “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.”
