ak47mann: Dike i her surname "DIKE" is a core igbo name you cannot deny that,she live with her husband in USA his name is still withheld at the moment

Mayor_of_Lagos:

Lol. You took my liberty of saying King Dike too far. Here is how it works in Yorubaland.

To be crowned an Oba you must be patrilinealy in line to succession. Waivers are created in extreme circumstances and matrilineality is considered. In a waiver, the candidate's patrilineal line must belong in one of Yoruba totem cults and as well deities.

It will take a waiver to ever get any of her children to put on the coronet or beaded crown. If such were granted, their father must be of a Yoruba totem family and deity.

Christy G: d kingship is patrilineal,so i dont think it will ever reach them.btw d adesida family is a big one,dey are lots of people to consider

ak47mann: Am telling you now the product of Adetutu Adesida and Mr Dike will likely become the next OBA after the rein of the new regent.
It happen in the time of ORUMANYIA a prince of bini which later became the first Alafin of OYO

addictiv:
Pls the Ogoni's also answer Dike..same with the Ikwerre's not just Igbo. But she is just a reagent and she is fufuiling her role as the customs demand. Even if she was made Oba what is wrong with her n her kids being eligible to the throne if the customs say so? People just keep bringing up unesseccary arguments.smh

St_Black: Never knew Iboes are this enthusiastic when they feel a string of relationship is attached with Yorubas. SEE JOY NITORI OLOUN.

..AND BTW,

-how suddenly did she turn IBOE because she married an IBOE?

-how possible will her DI.CKE fl**h**ds have any claim to the throne, even when their mother is counting her days on that seat of Prestige ?

-Why are you the OP celebrating all b'cos a Yoruba woman with DI.CKE as marriage name is made Adele, not OBA?

So If She was IBOE nko.... so NL Yorubas wont get their rest till 1st of 2014.

Mayor_of_Lagos:



They fall over one another wanting to own a piece of Yoruba. This news already is in Aba and Onitcha and dont be surprised to soon hear that an Ibo woman was elected (they dont understand cultural coronation so it is an election to them) as Oba of Lagos (they forget its Akure, because they want Lagos by all means).

When the rumor about Obj being an Ibo man first surfaced they were popping champagne. Till today most of them still believe it even though it has repeatedly been proven wrong.

DerideGull:

How many royal families do you have in Yoruba land or does it mean every family in Yoruba land is royal family?

Mayor_of_Lagos:

The Yoruba Crown is sacred! There are two of them - the beaded crown and the coronet.

An Oba elect as well as regents wear coronets but only an Oba is allowed to wear the beaded crown.

Under the coronet you are 'a divinity'. This is what the transcendantal means.

Orlando Owoh:
Fool, the first Alaafin of Oyo was Sango.

ndu_chucks:



Isn't sango supposed to be the god of thunder and lightning in Yoruba land? Do I sense confusion? Please explain this.

OAM4J:

Lol, let me make it simpler for you.

Like many said, she is Adele-Oba (One who holds the throne in wait) not Oba. She will NEVER become Oba not now and not in the future. Princess are never crowned, only Princes are made kings in Akure.

Her children are Princes and Princess of Akure no doubt because they have royal blood but they will NEVER become Oba (Deji) of Akure. Not because she married an Igbo man but because Kings are not picked from royal daughters but from Royal Sons.

pokur:
Just want to know,is the Osile Oke-Ona Egba of a totem family and cult?.Cos I know he succeeded of the matrilineal line,being the son of Esther Tejuosho n grandson of Karunwi 1

pokur:
Never say never.When Oba Oyekan died,his first son contested for the Obaship of Lagos,by right of his mother's house,Akinsemoyin.He lost,but he was considered still.
Matrilineal line,to some extent,is considered in Yorubaland.

9jacrip: ^^^^^^^
A candidate from a maternal line will only be considered worthy of a throne IF there are no other options.
Yoruba place a major emphasis on paternal link in the cases of their throne especially.
This woman's kids are princes & princesses and will never be considered too 'original' anyway given the maternal link and their father not being from Yorubaland. This is not to down-talk the Igbo but even in Yorubaland there are some towns/family houses often 'swept to the side' in matters such as this.

OAM4J:
All applications will be looked into but know for sure that the Kingmakers know who they are looking for. Except by some clear and undisputed "divine pronouncements" or absence of any royal sons from the next Ruling family, or political powers interference, the kingmakers will not approve such application.

Mayor_of_Lagos:

He succeeded through his matrineal blood but is his father a foreigner?

In Yoruba society the family compounds belong in totems and worship a deity. There is no family compound in Yorubaland that is excluded from this.

Mayor_of_Lagos:
The crossover from Akinsemoyin to the Ologunkutere dynasty itself was on the occassion of a matrilineal waiver when the son of the sitting Erelu (Regent) was coronated the Oba. Her husband, an Ijesha man, was from a totemic family, worshipped Yoruba deity and was an Ogboni templar.

Dhelake: This can't be compared with.... Akinsemoyin is another ruling house entirely... but in this case... the grand child's will be contesting with the name of the ruling house their dead grandfather used in being crowned

pokur:
This is actually what the OP was saying.Doesn't matter what the regnant name turn out to be,the issue being that one of royal blood by right of the mother CAN contest.Jorge Mario Bergoglio is today known as Francis,hope u get my drift.
