What if I told you between 1930 and 1980 no king home or abroad dare challenge the ultimacy of Tadeniawo Adesoji Aderemi, not even Alafin Lamidi Adeyemi, he tried he prostrated in the end

Onitsha is not the capital of Anambra state. Awka is.

Onitsha is not the capital of anambra state @ op.

OP, you just missed it, have you ever heard of the Old Oyo Empire?
The Iku baba Yeye, Alase ikeji Orisha, ALAFIN of Oyo Kingdom, Arole Oodua, Kabiyesi Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III. You list is of low regard without this powerful king on it.

@ OP,Awka is the capital of Anambra State,not Onitsha. Wait o,I didn't see Eze gburugburu of Iboland.

Onitsha is the capital of anambra? The op is high on fanta.

Onitsha is not the capital of anambra, awka is the capital city

Blame poor education and lack of exposure on the part of the Alafin. Adesoji Aderemi dines with the who is who during the colonial era and he was made the Governor of Western Region. But Historically, Alafin is the head of all Obas in the whole of Yoruba Land.

His Majesty, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Atanda Adeyemi III, J.P, CFR, LL.D

The Alaafin of Oyo Empire, his imperial Majesty Oba (Dr.) Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, is undoubtedly a monarch not with only wit but also with class.

To say he is an enigma by every standard is an understatement, as many who had an interaction with him testify that “a moment with him is like an exploratory adventure through the school of history”.

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Adeyemi III, no doubt, one of Africa’s most powerful and most influential kings, has lived two decades and over half a century into decades of heeding the natural call of the gods and his people.

This issue should not be over flogged. I believe the Op wanted to type the commercial capital of Anambra state.

The list is not complete without Alafin of Oyo alias Iku Baba yeye

The Obi of Owa Kingdom

Folks need to understand it is not about the occupant of the throne but the throne itself so Alaafin comes last in the scheme of things as recognition begins from Olowu to Alaafin - even Owa Obokun Ijesa comes before Alaafin.

What even makes a throne hold its sway is its sustenance of its actual geographical setting - Oyo lost this a long time ago.

Absolutely!

You are in a hurry to type.

Alaafin Lamidi ascended the throne in 1970. He was born in 1938.


So when did he "try"?

Op where did you put the Alaafin of Oyo. Pls alaafin of Oyo is the king of the whole old Oyo empire comprising of the states in the south west plus part of Bini kingdom present day edo state.

Jovago:
They are powerful and revered. They consider themselves to be the next in command after God. Hence, their orders are supreme. Interestingly, their reign is throughout their lifetime. In other words, it is hereditary. So don’t be surprised if hear that a traditional ruler in Nigeria is as old as 90 years or beyond! Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 Hotel Booking Portal identifies five first-class rulers amongst many others from every part of the country.

OBI OF ONITSHA

Onitsha is the capital of Anambra state and also one of the commercial cities in the Eastern heartland. His Royal Highness Obi Igwe Nnayelugo Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe is the Obi of Onitsha and the Chairman of the Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers. He has spent about 14 years on the throne. He was born on May 14, 1941.



OBA OF BENIN

This is perhaps one of the most sacred and highly respected traditional rulers in Nigeria. His Royal Majesty Omo N’oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa, the 38th Oba of Benin Kingdom. The revered monarch took over the throne on March 23, 1979. He comes out only once a year during the Igue festival which is one of the most important festivals in Benin. He was born on June 22, 1923.



SULTAN OF SOKOTO

The Sultan of Sokoto is the spiritual leader of Muslims in Nigeria and the traditional ruler of Sokoto caliphate. He was born on August 24, 1956 while he ascended the throne on November 2nd, 2006. Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar IV is the 20th Sultan of the Caliphate founded by Uthman Dan Fodio.

The new Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar, also the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslim, sits on his throne during his coronation ceremony in Sokoto, Northern Nigeria, March 3, 2007.



EMIR OF KANO

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is a very popular and outspoken figure in Nigeria. Before he became the Emir of Kano, he was the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). On 8th June, 2014, he was announced as the Emir of Kano after the demise of Ado Bayero by the Kano state government. The Emir is a respected voice in Kano and in Nigeria as a whole.



OONI OF IFE

In South-west Nigeria, Ife is one with a rich heritage. Therefore, the post of Ooni of Ife is very reputable. His Royal Highness, Alayeluwa, Oba Okunade Sijuwade is the holder of this enviable position. He was born on 1st January, 1930 and attained the position of Ooni in 1980 (35 years on the throne).
