Alake take a bow & go!. How can the people who pay homage to us downplay the facts of history.
Ooduwa agbe wa o.
No lie only truth!

I think the war is getting more interesting.

To the benefits of people like us, who are mindful in acquisition of cultural knowledge.

No yoruba monarchy can match the history of the Benin monarchy. The facts are there

What's this one saying? Benin is part of the Yoruba kingdom

Deji of Akure nko ...abi Ondo state no be Yoruba land again and Oba of Lagos?

This stupid man should just gerararararar here men and let peace rain in the land ...........we need peace now not animosity.......... i just don't know why some of this yeye oba`s cant contribute meaningfully but instead causing trouble all over the land with mis-guided tongue.

Yes gerrit

HateU2:

Kilode Mr Morufu .
Ayam talking to my fellow original yoruba goons not fake

stfu! Don't derail

stfu! Don't derail

HateU2:

you heard me right

Olowu should have been the first been the first born of okanbi but owu has lost it supremacy a long time ago

This so called ruler should always back his presumptions with facts.
The prominent chief of Bini kingdom stated equivocally that during the last conference help in Benin that the list of attendees showed only one Oba which was the Oba of Benin and the rest titles were all bearng Onni's and Alafin.
Secondly, he mentioned that it was a Bini prince who strayed to Ife that brought about kingship in that region and he has said he has facts to back up his claime.
Anyways the whole world knows who is top on the ranking, you can even attest from the Queen of England, she too will educate you all cus they have and keep records.

[size=14pt]He is right. Gbam. One of our sons went to Benin to become king. Oba is a Yoruba word. [/size]

You are right bro. The previous and present kings in Ile Ife since Odua passed away are slaves. Quotes me and I'll explain how it was.

The alake pledged to provide evidence. If he truly said that then I am looking forward to seeing the evidence.

You are right bro. The previous and present kings in Ile Ife since Odua passed away are slaves. Quotes me and I'll explain how it was.

And I will also explain how we send emissories and priests to Benin for political and spiritual sanity. Ile-Ife was like Rome then...

I have artifact evidence to prove it.. You can bring the game on.

Backward old fools.
Who cares about your useless names?

Please explain. I want to know the details if you don't mind.

we need historians to clear the air on this

abeg make we hear word with this their ranking!

go and read about the bini empire and after that you will slap that Alake or whoever told u that

Is oba of Lagos fake? Why was he not recognized?

EastanPower:


“Ooni is one of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland. The others are in order of the way they are classified on supremacy basis. After the Ooni is the Alaafin. After the Alaafin, the Oba of Benin. After the Oba of Benin, it comes to the Alake of Egbaland and the fifth and by no means the last or the least, the Awujale of Ijebuland.’’

the greatness of the bini king is what makes the yorubas desperate to include him in their lesser company

You don't know history. The oba Oyo has high reputation. Oyo empire at its peak extend towards Benin Republic and Togo. Oyo empire had the best soldiers. Ile Ife never fought any war. They are weak. Ile-Ife was attacked by Afonja with ease. Ooni is just respected because that is the source of all Yoruba. To show that Aalafin is a powerful king, he is the only king that can pronounce someone Aare Onakankafo.

dis is aw old pple stir up disunity & communal clashes......I dunt see d relevance of such statements in d 1st place........pride has neva helped any1 frm time immemorial

clefstone:

Please tell that to the alake not me..

Ooni Adeyeye wants unity among the Yorubas not disunity being propagated by Alake. The ranking is of no consequence in todays world. Let Yoruba nation move forward. Kudo to Ooni Adeyeye, the new face of Yoruba nation.

The Alake seems to be high on dried Ugwu leaf.. The Awujale of Ijebu is way ahead of Alake of Egbaland. It is only Ijebuland whose ancestry can't be traced back to Ife. Get your facts right,Alake of Egbaland. Awujale no be ya mate!!

Ile-Ife was a spiritual center. Ife is not meant to fight any war. Ile-Ife was like a church.

Oyo was the administrative center. Thats why its fights wars.

Even the Agbekoya war. Ile-Ife did not openly cooperate with Ekiti-Ijesha alliance
You need to get these basics.

You need to read about the great Oduduwa too and what Ile Ife stand for

another argument on ranking again? a lot of yorubas don't really give a fvck about ranking... most yorubas are only answerable to their own Obas...

Olowo of Owo is way ahead of Alake in my book. Historically and otherwise.

I think people relegate Olowo because of being in Eastern fringes of Yorubaland.

The Oba of Benin is supreme to all yoruba obas, because first ooni of Ife was the ancestral son of the Oba of benin.
