If Akin Alabi is now the Jagun Olubadan, does that mean he has new legal powers or more say in government stuff, or is it just a fancy title?

I've always thought these traditional titles like Jagun Olubadan make someone like a king or give them special powers, but that's not really what happens. For Akin Alabi, being called Jagun Olubadan is a big deal, but it doesn't actually change his job in government, like make new laws or anything. It's mostly a sign of respect and shows the community values what he's done, but legally, nothing changes. My friend's dad got a title once and said everyone started treating him with a little more respect at events, but he couldn't just walk into government offices and start making decisions. For politicians, it looks cool on their profile and probably helps them win over more people during elections, but the law doesn't give them any extra clout because of traditional titles. So, it's really more about respect and tradition than actual government power. It makes people pay attention, though!
