@SirShymex

Bros, dem never give us Ijebu state...

Barca, emperor oduduwa ademusiwa is the monarchy of the country of western nigeria.




[size2=8pt]High royal highness
Oduduwa ade ade ademusiwa
The emperor of the independent country of western nigetia
[/size]

To explain ijebuland is just a subdivision under the rule of emperor oduduwa ademusiwa.



Awujale of ijebu is a duke. In English word, he is not a monarchy. awujale is considered a duke in english. Ooni of ileife is considered to be a duke. Oba of Lagos is a duke, oba of Benin is a duke. Etc
Oduduwa ademusiwa is the monachy, the others are just sub division . where oduduwa ademusiwa stay, that where the monarchy remain. When oduduwa ademusiwa left ileife. Ileife lost the monarchy to another city. The other city have technically now have lost the monarchy.

The monarchy is oduduwa ademusiwa. Not the city or town

What Olubadan of Ibadan? He's 100 years!

I just realized that...

Ibadan is also a subdivision.. They have many subdivision.. And they all have oba.. In over 5000 towns and cities..

But only one monarchy which is reserve for emperor oduduwa ademusiwa

A monarchy is emperor oduduwa ademusiwa. Just like is great great father and grandfather were.

What of the likes of Oba of Benin? Any idea of his age?

Awujale is a duke like is english duke. Only oduduwa ademusiwa is the monarchy.


Young man, the monarchy, which is oduduwa ademusiwa has move 3 times in history in 3 cities of western Nigeria.

It is like the queen moving. It is not the town or city that make the monarchy , it is the oduduwa ademusiwa that is the monarchy.
