ycat: This is what happens when monarchs talk too much (and with no sense of diplomacy). Monarchs jamtalk a lot these days: this reminds me of the popular 'lagoon' incident. It is expected that an adult should be able to identify issues to be silent about to avoid any form of controversy or disunity. |

What does the current ooni know about these stuffs.. The new generation ooni is a runs man who doesn't give a f*ck about these stuffs.. I'm hoping the chiefs will keep in check though. You may not understand what I'm saying, but you should get a glimpse if you reflect deeply. udmbat: |

The only reason Alake is more popular is because Abeokuta is the capital of Ogun state. therefore, it is more developed than other areas like ijebu ode 2 Likes |

One common thing with most yoruba obas is that they speak under the influence of too much ewedu mixed with cannabis sativa. Oba of Benin is not a yoruba oba. There is never a yoruba traditional ruler in the same category with the Oba of Benin. They will never listen and learn!!! 1 Like |

See finishing. The awujale is the only Yoruba monarch that has my utmost respect. All others are just disgusting. The awujale was the only monarch that did not take GEJ's money. And he is a very honest custodian of history, carries himself with decorum and respect. And he also has written books that will very good authorities in history, especially as others are always distorting history for selfish gains and superiority race , thereby causing disunity and progress. Back to topic, he is very correct by placing the Alake where he belongs. Please read The History of Abeokuta by Ajisafe.. Written about 70years ago. 1 Like |

emamos: Lmao. See these savages arguing over their backwardness. 1826? 1830? They had already invented photography in serious countries; democracy and the system we are just practising today was already alive and well for almost 50 years in America (which is a very young state amongst nations). And we call these people "ancestors". Meanwhile this is all oral history as black man was incapable of recording history until first the Arab Muslims in the North, and then the British in the south. Northern Muslim society is a far more respectable historical institution than all these noisemakers in the south. I just battled some Ibo noisemakers yesterday on this issue. Ah, we are a backward society! (meanwhile we say we're a Republic o. What a joke!) |

Re: Alake Is A Junior King In Yorubaland – Awujale by Adesiji77: 12:24pm On Mar 11, 2016 |
IMHO, this battle for supremacy is completely unnecessary. I saw the following interesting comments on Punch in reaction to the story. Historians, what do you have to say? Cc: Ishilove, naptu2 Comment 1 [b]"Our Obas should not allow their ego to becloud their sense of history. No Oba today in Yoruba land should cling to any claim of superiority in the light of the erosion of the power they used to wield, to the extent that none of them can travel outside their domains without the Chairman of the local government where their palace is situated knowing. Awujale's statement describing the Alake as a junior king in Yoruba land cannot be supported by any historical record, written or verbal. The fight for supremacy among Yoruba Obas did not start today. The Akarigbo of Ijebu Remo once complained against the wearing of crown by the Elepe. To resolve this problem, the then Governor of Nigeria Sir William MacGregor, invited the Oni to Lagos in 1903 to give his ruling. The Oni listed twenty one kings as having the right to wear crown with beaded fringes. Though not necessarily in order of seniority, Alake of Abeokuta was number one on the list. None of the Obas which Awujale claims to be Alake's contemporary was on that list. The then Awujale did not object to the ruling by the Oni then, and the current Awujale cannot claim ignorance of this important historical ruling. That 1903 visit to Lagos by the Oni marked the first time an Oni would travel outside his domain. On his departure people were weeping and all Yoruba kings stayed outside their palaces until the Oni returned. The Alake was the first Yoruba king to travel abroad (England), first in 1904 and again in 1937 before other kings started traveling abroad. It used to be a taboo for Yoruba Obas to meet face to face until 1925 when the Prince of Wales visited Nigeria and the Obas met for the first time in Ibadan."[/b] Comment 2 [b]"Kabiyesi Awujale completely distorted the beautiful history of Egba people he deliberately did for no good reasons and such could lead to disharmony between the Egba and Ijebu who have been living peacefully for many years in and outside Ogun state. Egba people first gained independence from Oyo when they waged war on tax collections called ISAKOLE against Oyo army and defeated them but Ijebu and Yoruba towns still remained under direct rule of Oyo by then. The Ake people were the first settlers in Abeokuta from Orile Egba followed by Okeona, Gbagura and Owu who came after the fall of Owu orile during the war between them and Oyo in which Egba soldiers were there to support Owu against Oyo. While some liberated Owu people followed Sodeke to live with Egba in Abeokuta others relocated to other Villages in Oyo, Ijesha and Ijebu lands, hence, there are many Owu towns in present Oyo, Osun and Ogun states, so it is very wrong and not correct to say that Egba met any other people in other three major sections in Abeokuta. I believe many notable Egba historians will react to the report soon. E MA D'ENA D'EGBA O, IGBA ERANKO KI D'ENA D'EKUN, EKUN BABA ERANKO!!!"[/b] Comment 3 "there was nothing like an egba traditional ruler when the egbas left orile egba and migrated to ABEOKUTA neither do they have a crowned king.Lisabi, Lawarikan and Sodeke were great warriors that won several wars within the Yoruba arena including dahomey war.If all regarded as the leaders,if nowhere else go to Sodeke;s palace in ABEOKUTA and let he family enlighten you, were leaders of the Egba,s and it was Sodeke that eventually settled the Egba's in their present abode,he was supposed to be crowned the very first King of the Egbas but was poisoned when he accepted christianity into Nigeria as opposed to traditional way of worshiping and died in 1847 January 17th.I could take you through history but i have limited time today." 2 Likes 1 Share |

Adesiji77: Three things: i. From your narration, one can deduce that the Alake stool was established in the 19th century. ii. The Awujale stool predated the 16th century and probably about 400 years older than the Alake. iii. Why then do you think the Alake should be ranked ahead of the Awujale. Is it because the Alake was the first Oba to travelled to Europe? 2 Likes |

Re: Alake Is A Junior King In Yorubaland – Awujale by Nobody: 1:01pm On Mar 11, 2016 |
The article posted on this thread isn't the complete version. This is the rest: “It is important for Alake’s education to appreciate that Ijebu has been in existence for almost 1,000 years and that we are the only people that still remain in our original homestead while other Yoruba towns and villages have relocated twice or more. If only he cares to obtain a copy of the Book: ‘The Ijebu of Yorubaland 1850-1950’ by the late Prof. E. A. Ayandele, that erudite Professor of History and endeavour to read it, there, he will know who the Ijebus are and appreciate that from time immemorial and since our settlement on Ijebu soil, Ijebu was indeed a nation until 1892 when we were defeated in the Magbon War by the British colonial forces. As to be expected, the British colonial masters left no stone unturned to humiliate us for daring to engage them in a war. Lmao @ Egbas. Don't be mad. But he did allude to "envy" by neighbours. And the envy turned to jealousy and hatred...and it's real. Anyway, where can I get the book (‘The Ijebu of Yorubaland 1850-1950’ by the late Prof. E. A. Ayandele) he alluded to? It's not on Amazon. And this book (The Ijebu of western Nigeria : a historical and socio-cultural study) as well? |
