Obaluf0n:
.

Asides from the economy & social clout Lagos weilds, Oba of Lagos lacks any cultural relevance tohave been rated first class - except ofcourse the economy & social status of a state affects the class of a king?

Oba Eko is in the same class as Olugbo, Olubadan, Soun, Timi, Ataoja and any throne created or rests on the monarchical relevance or power of another throne & not triggered by cultural system.

----

Alaafin of Oyo throne is still occupied by the blood line of original Alaafin but a lot of things attached to that throne had gotten lost as a result of its migration from Oyo Ile to Ago Oja. Oyo derived its relevance from military expenditions which it never had over Ife throne (another history entirely). Oyo throne should not be classed ahead of Ife; if military might is the determining factor then Olubadan should be ranked before Alaafinas it is a known fact that Alaafin Oyo paid tributes to Baale (now Olubadan) Ibadan & was under Ibadan's military might till the colonial period.

---

Seeing Emir ranked before Sultan makes it obvious the compiler of this list is not a very bright person.

----

Bini throne is overrated.

The installation procession of a throne tells a lot about the historical relevance it holds. A quick look at the installation procession of the Bini throne and the reverence accorded to it by the Bini shows it is an exagerrated seat. Outside of Bini does not commands respect or influence & it has no lasting imprint anywhere outside Bini & except for few towns around it.


The Bini throne is in the class of Owa Ijesaland & monarchs in that league.

Your post shows you are not bright, you are a dull, unintelligent bigot who would rather spill trash to the world just to get noticed, even your kinsmen know the greatness of the Benin Kingdom, buh wont jux admit cos it not only belittles them buh shows the supremacy of the Benin Kingdom over neighbouring kingdoms, well keep basking in the euphoria of your negligence,...
Well do get a good unadulterated book prolly one not written by ur kinsman so you get educated

Another emotional tirade.

Benin did not come close to Ibadan in military might.

Benin did not hold a candle to Oyo Empire economically & militarily.

Benin, since its inception, does not hold a torch to Ife in monarchy, arts & area of influence.

According to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benin_Empire

At its maximum extent, the empire extended from the western Ibo tribes on the shores of the Niger river, through parts of the southwestern region of Nigeria (much of present-day Ondo State, and the isolated islands (current Lagos Island and Obalende) in the coastal region of present-day Lagos State).

Note that the wikipedia page was clearly written and edited by Bini people. And according to them but in more explicit terms, the Bini areas of influence at its 'maximum extent' i.e military peak covered just:

Ondo - Akoko areas.

Ibo land - Onitsha area.

Lagos - Obalende & Island.

Are these all that the super Bini kings could acquire? Like seriously? grin cheesy

Here is a research conducted by an independent & neutral researcher.

Your list is a complete trash. Traditional thrones are graded by the chieftaincy laws of their respective states. It is not something you just do subjectively to promote your blog. It is a matter of law and not personal opinion.


This is the most sensible post here.

Yes he is the only popular Monarch in the East but not First Class. I don't classify any monarch as First Class if they never controlled an Empire in the Old days.

In that case, only the Alaafin of Oyo, the Oba of Benin, the Sultan of Sokoto and the Shehu of Bornu are first class. These are the only ones who the history books use 'empire' when talking about their domains.

This post is arrant nonsense.





Now, let me educate you










The first 2 1st class king is










Sultan of Sokoto
And
Ooni of ife.







In YORUBA race, all Yoruba belong to ife not Oyo.


It was the grandson of oduduwa than started Oyo empire.





If you are a YORUBA, you can trace you root to ife not Oyo.







Pls stop misleading the house

What he meant by one family is that the eldest son must succeed his Father. There is no rotation within the family. It us the only absolute monarchy in modern day Nigeria and the Governor kowtow before it.

The Alaafin of Oyo throne too is one Family.

He wasn't even recognised as first class during colonial times. Only the Obi of Onitsha, and perhaps the Obi of Oguta had that distinction east of the Niger.

Please what time did you type this poo?
I guess you're dreaming...
(Lagos state, largest city in Africa) or you meant most populated?
Lagos is not the largest in Yoruba states, not to talk of Nigeria or Africa. Get your facts right!

I don't know of other tribes, but don't ever put Alafin of Oyo above Ooni of Ife.
That's an Insult to Ododuduwa and Yoruba race.
Unforgivable error you just committed.
Kindly do the needful, ayaf warned you o!

Please let us not distort history...Ooni is not a king...Please go and get ur facts together...Ooni was a chief priest to Oduduwa and was in charge of all the deities in Ife land...He was never a child of Oduduwa and not entitled to rule ..He was assigned to keep the home when Oduduwa died and none of his children were around since they have gone to sojourn and capture other territories for themselves...Please don't say that OONI is a king in the presence of a a true OYO PRINCE...Ask anybody what is the meaning of Arole Odua...

What is the meaning of a first class king? What right or legitimacy does Nigeria have to decide who is a first class king?.
They all have the territorial zones and cannot exercise rule beyond that zone.
The Emir of kano regardless of how regarded he is in the north, has no relevance in warri during pre-colonial Nigeria.
So how then is the Emir of kano a first class king and others are not, when his influence is not pervasive throughout Nigeria?
These people sha undecided
