tpiadotcom: Adesiji only died July 3rd 1980 , trust me it was in Ibadan not long after his ascension he had let "the Alafin is greater than all" get to his head he was discipled in the presence of all kings gathered , let's just leave it at that. The throne of the Alafin is faultless and I don't items to soil it because someone else might take this and use it to arm his person . |

VISTIN: That would be almost impossible, trust me even kings who tried to be devout Christians find their legitimacy at the stools of dieties with the request for rites and appeasement |

akpumping7720: Personally I am starting to lean more in that direction but not certain yet, it is impossible to deny that Aderemi wealth and influence made him above shoulders with other kings, the respect showed to him till today is yet to be replicated as Awolowo rightly said during his burial ceremony. He influenced SW and Nigerian politics beyond what he gets credit for. I guess that wealth, influence and the wisdom to apply it rightly done him wonders |

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). [/quote] Endeavour to get your facts right. This man can never be compared to the Alaafin of Oyo in terms of political clout and historical relevance. At least you did not make the blunder of including Oba Lagoon I |

saxywale:Oga park well. Why mention my 'Household' in this issue? Am I discussing my 'Family' issue here. Never in your life quote such rubbish again. Back to the topic: when Alao Akala decided to look down on the Alafin by rotating the Chairman of the Council of Obas what happened to him at the end? Does he have any relevance in Oyo State Politics again? Did he not plan to join APC so as to be more relevant? Who gave him the authority to place iku baba yeye under any oba. Pls if u don't know 'History' try to learn. Even the Oni of Ife dare not look down on the Alafin talkless of Awujale of Ijebu or Onibadan. As far as history is concerned. Alafin remains the Paramount ruler of Yorubaland. Oni is the 'Custodian' of all the deities in yorubaland. |

nas00:Oga, don't mix things up here by distorting history. Ooni isn't the deity himself. He is the 'Custodian' of the deities. Ooni isn't among the seven children of Oduduwa. He was the son of one of the slaves appointed to be in charge of the deities at Ile-Ife. The Old Oyo empire is the capital base of the Yoruba kingdom. When they call someone 'Iku baba yeye' in Yorubaland; Alase ikeje Orisa; it has a significant meaning. |

Onitsha is not the capital of Anambra state, however it is the largest commercial city in the region, also I would have voided this news had the Obi of Onitsha not made the list, so OP take note |

akpumping7720: This will be the last time I will comment or reply anyone on this non-issue. Now, let me help you listen to yourself. These are facts: 1) Oduduwa is the grandfather of Oranmiyan, who later founded Oyo kingdom 2) Meanwhile, Oduduwa himself was the first monarch of Ile-Ife (And first to bear that title you disrespect- OONI). Oduduwa, your ancestor was the first OONI of Ife. Now, hear yourself: "OONI isn't among the seven children of Oduduwa"..... Oga mi, where you missed the point is that Oduduwa himself was OONI! Figure that in, and you'll see that you didn't make sense up there. The Throne cannot be equated to personalities. The throne of the OONI far supersedes that of the Alaafin. Is that too difficult for you to grasp? Oh sorry!... You actually meant Oduduwa, OONI of Ife and the grandfather of the first Alaafin, was one slave appointed to be in charge of the deities? So, who appointed Oduduwa OONI of Ife? .. Alaafin abi? Ride on, the wise one. The gods are wiser though 1 Like |

Re: 5 Nigerian Traditional Rulers You Should Meet When You Travel... by akpumping7720(m): 11:30am On May 30, 2015 |
nas00:My question for you is this: the past and present Ooni of Ife(excluding the founder; Oduduwa) are they direct descendant of oduduwa or not? And did you know that Oranmiyan founded Oyo and became the first 'Alafin' at the same time direct affairs in 'Ile-Ife' from his palace at Oyo. Do you even know the meaning of 'Alafin'? Oranmiyan was suppose to be the crown king of 'Ile-Ife' but he chose to govern from Oyo and appointed 'Adimula' to oversee things in 'Ile-Ife' and bring him report. Boss! Make I stop here for now. But I would like u to reply my first question. |
