Hey folks,thanx for the lecture on yoruba traditions. It was quite enlightening. Yes she is a regent. But you all know that getting an oba in a yoruba land sometimes take time due to the in-fighting btw the royal family houses. She is born yoruba and married to an igbo man.In my place i.e igbo land,we believe a woman has no tribe,village,church etc till she gets married. Therefore Adetutu Adesida is now Mrs Dike,an Igbo woman.
The essence of what i am writing is for you yoruba folks to remember that @ a time,the igbo's through Mrs Dike presided over one of your kingdoms. Hahahahahaha. This same shit cant take place in Igbo land ooo. tongue. I come from a royal family too. My grandad is an Eze

Mayor_of_Lagos:

We dont yet know she is married to Iboman. It is assumed to be so by the op who thinks only Ibo have the Dike name anywhere in the world.

If it is ultimately revealed that she is married to Ibo and Dike is an Iboman then the op will be correct and indeed I will say congratulations to Ibo people for politically and culturally scoring one over the Yorubas.

Kings give off their daughters to strenghten alliance with other Kings and cultures. In this case Adesida was looking for an alliance with Ibos. For Ibos looking for homes and lands in SW to settle, Akure will be your surrogate home since a future crown head of that domain carry the Ibo gene. When eventually he becomes King Dike, Deji of Akure, you have a political windfall in Yorubaland. THIS IS ONLY ON ASSUMPTION THAT THIS DIKE IS IBO. grin

Your submissions are very wrong sir. A regent is just an acting oba installed until the kingmakers finally select a substantive king. In yoruba culture, the first daughter of the late king is usually installed as the regent. The choice of the female child is based on the believe that a lady will willingly vacate the throne when the substantive king is selected unlike a male child who may not want to exit the throne again.

The children of the regent has no right to the throne except she is married to a prince from another ruling house. In the case of Adetutu Adesida-Dike, she's married to an igbo man, so, her children are igbo's and not Yoruba. They can only be king in igboland and not Akure.

The next king will come from another ruling house in Akure and not from the family/ruling house of the late king. Kingship in Yoruba land is rotated among families that are entitled to the throne.

Even though their father may be Igbo, I believe they may be brought up Yoruba. And I'm not sure if she's the first Oba.
Some people are misinterpreting the information. Go to the link (and not the OP's post) to get the real, and full story. The woman is not Igbo, her father was not Igbo, she PROBABLY was married to Igbo. No where in the original story did it say her husband would, could, or may take over the throne. This is a part of the original story:

[/quote] Adesida-Dike, a United States of America (USA)- based pharmacist will be on the throne until the installation of another Monarch [/quote].

Who follows this kind of barbaric logic these days? To say a woman has got no tribe until she is married. Wake up (wo)man to the 21st century and stop being happy about the gender-based discrimination that your culture promotes... It is Yorubaland where women are regarded such that the are installed Obas. By the way, she was not the first Oba in Yoruba history. Look to the listbelow and you'll see that the 21st Oooni of Ife was female.

Mayor_of_Lagos:

Calm down! Dike is not her surname, Dike is her married name; Adesida is her surname. I know you want to own Yorubaland and you are likely close to it if this proves true but until then, calm down.

We dont yet know who Dike is and if he is Ibo or not. Ibos answer Dike in Nigeria but so do foreigners outside Nigeria.

I am not biased on the truth of Dike being Ibo it just points to the carelessness of Yoruba in guarding their thrones against foreign invasion. Thats all!


Two words describe you perfectly...a FOOLISH FOOL

What is all the rantings for? Dike himself does not want the cursed throne neither does he want any of his seeds to sit on an mgbati mgbati kilo this kilo that throne so why all this stupid talk about wanting to dominate??..you guys are just silly as always

what are u saying, she is born of a Yoruba blood. She is an absolute Yoruba indigene. Her children can only be of the igbo blood. That she married an igbo man has not automatically transform her to an igbo blood except for her children.

She's definitely not d 1st Regent...don't mind the guy....Ijebu had a female Regent too in history
The Awujale stool was occupied by females at least two times in past not as regent but as substantive Awujale.

You don't have problems with them but they are eternally bitter and will do all they think they can to debase and soil what you have. They eat all good things till overfill but are still famished, they are always deluded with being the best yet they know no rest because they are not introspective to see why others now avoid them( When a prominent member of another clan said something about them that is believed to have been an indication of the mistrust brewing against it was rather than take a cue and retrace steps and action but whisked aside calling members of that clan fools, idiots' and stupid; years after, the product of these exploded disappointingly today same is repeating itself in a bigger magnitude ). They are now so much engrossed with vengeance, aggression and power that the loss of the supposedly gains is imminent.

Rather than learn to be at least quiet, observe and be open, they become as the pestle which knows no peace. What you gave is what you get in good measure, pressed down shaken and running over so says the Good Book, if you can show sincerity in your so called brotherliness and become open in your dealings with others like they do to you, then you will see your potentials towering where you think you ought to be. You cannot be sowing bitterness and expect love progress you'll only get what you sow. Agree with this if you want wish to or can others will be moving forward and getting their way but when you've even gotten it as you had in previous times you will not recognize it and act likewise but will still be acting the hurt loser and bitter. To whom this seem to affecst let him/her hear what the SPIRIT OF NIGERIA is saying.

Happy for them,but must you guys turn every thread to tribal bashing?Smh.@op You are wrong,her children will never reign not because she married to a iboman but because in Yoruba tradition setting a child related to the crown through a woman is not fit to become the king.@all if I'm to judge with Nairaland I will say the hate btw Yoruba/ibo is at its peak which is not so in the outside world.

This is a good development. i have no doubt it will encourage the
long-awaited unity, love, mutual respect etc among the tribes if
other tribes will give inter-marriage a free hand among all classes
(I mean including the nobles). this will produce a powerful and
indomitable nigeria nation that will be free from all forms of crisis.
however, I have 99.9% doubt if this can be allowed to happen in
the SE. I stand to be enlightened if it has been or can be in SE
(with proof).

Ngwakwe: The Igbos easily integrate with other ethnicities and civilisation without prejudice but the same can't easily be said for average Yoruba or Hausa born and bred.

In the East, it takes one out of four to ten to see an Igbo person fluent in Yoruba, Hausa or even Ibibio.

Everything is possible to him that will integrate out of will and desire to belong.

Moreover, don't forget the Imo State House of Assembly majority leader is a Yoruba woman married in Imo State.

It is absolutely impossible for her children to become the Deji of akure,the said woman is on a regent (adele) the major reason why they picked a woman is because she can not become the Deji,so non of her igbo children can become the deji as she herself can not become the deji.The only woman that became an OBA in yorubaland was Luwo Gbedaji (i stand to be corrected) she is listed as one the people that ruled Ile-Ife.
