I don't think anyone can be king


You have to be from the balogun side or (I can't remember the other one).


I don't think it is fair either because if a junior chief can be promoted over a senior chief.

Well thats not it. All you need do is become the Mogaji or head of your Agbo ile and then God willing you enter into the kingship line either through the Military(Ologun or Balogun line) or Civilian(Olubadan) line. You dont have to come from anyside as long as you are known in your Agbo ile.

Clap! Clap! I bow for u o! Wish I knew my town oriki like this. I need to go ask some questions.

The succession to the Olubadan throne is the most transparent in Yorubaland. It's devoid of any rancour or disagreement. The Olubadan throne is meant only for older guys who have contributed immensely to the development of their community and are the head of their clan. Once a guy have been Mogaji, his succession to the throne has already started, it's only a matter of time.

Reason why the succession to the throne is relatively peaceful.

Sorry Sir, GEJ was fully on ground for same Olubadan's 100yr birthday in 2014,so your claim is wrong.

Oga Ade, Jonathan was visiting all First Class Obas in Yorubaland and he got to Oyo without seeing Olubadan. Some politicians protested and Ibadan indigeens also registered their displeasure. It was later their arranged that visit. Please be sure of your facts.

Let's somebody tutor you on the difference and importance of State visit and birthday Party. Jonathan visited first class Obas when they can really table what they want not at a party for merriment.

Will Ibadan ever have a young King? Yes or No

The emergence of an insight and youthful prince as Ooni has renewed the agitation for Ibadan to have a youthful King.
The demise of Olubadan Odugade Odulana at 101 years and the automatic emergence of High Chief Adetunji at 80 years as the Olubadan elect is presently calling to question the Kingship system of the Ibadans.

To really understand this scenario one needs to know the history of Ibadan. The present location of Ibadan was largely populated by the Egbas before being forced out by regular raid for slaves by others Yoruba groups. An Ife warrior, Lagelu started the first Ibadan settlement before it was attacked and most people fled into hiding to a living as refugees. Gradually life came to the settlement with the arrival of mainly marauding warriors who made Ibadan their war camp. At this point the camp was mainly made up of the Oyos, Ifes, Ijebus and Egbas.

Ibadan became prosperous because of the warriors exploits of attacking other towns for slaves and collecting taxes from others. However, there was no King rather they recognise and see themselves as an off shoot of Alaafin Oyo because most of the warriors are from Oyo and only pay homage to Alaafin. Ibadan became the defender of the Yorubas and was growing into another Oyo, fighting on four fronts until they were checked by the Ekiti parapo on one front, the Egbas on another front etc.

From the beginning Ibadan operates the warrior system of chieftaincy and does not have a king but a Baale (The leaders of the warriors). Olubadan became recognised as a King and as a first class king about 40 years ago. The warriors operated a military system of promotion and when one of them dies the next in line take up the position. It is a known fact that Balogun Adetunji is the next in line for the Olubadan position since the Osi Olubadan died in October or November 2015.

Will Ibadan ever have a young King? Yes or No

No, unless this present promotional system is abolished. To be position as an Olubadan, you must have been selected a Mogaji (Head of the family) of one of the original Ibadan warrior family. To become Mogaji, you are likely to be in your 50s or even 60s. A Mogaji who eventually got admitted into either of the two chieftaincy lines will have to wait for another 40 or 50 years if he lives to be 80 or 90 to become an Olubadan.

Will Ibadan ever have a young King? Yes or No

Yes, it is possible if we have a 10 year old as a Mogaji. Will any family be ready to appoint a 10 year old as their Mogaji so that we can have a 50 or 60 year old Olubadan?

Ibadan cannot change to the royal house rotational system like the other towns because that will lead to having more that 40 royal houses.
I believe the system is good since it has proven controversial free even since the days of the real warriors but there is need to introduce some changes to throw up more agile and educated Olubadans than old men who are great grand fathers.

Owoplenty:
who spoilt you?

Ask Nike or Orunmila

Mr Omowe,Jonathan's visit to OYO was not a state visit but cladenstine visit to solicit for illegal votes and he knew right before that Olubadan cannot subscribe to supporting him for 2nd term. He only targeted Obas he assumed can support him, abi did you see Olubadan among the Obas called together by Oni to endorse him? If you don't know the meaning of state visit pls ask.

The good thing about the Ibadan system is that the real power lies with the olubadan in council which means no one person can be gallivanting around and be disturbing the public peace like alafin os currently doing In Oyo, marrying any yellow girl he set his eyes on and keeping thugs for God knows what. Ibadan is peaceful because of this system.

Of course you could be, if the Ibadans allow wereys on their throne. That will never happen. Now, stop daydreaming and go back to sleep.
