Obi of Onitsha is the most powerful stool east of Niger and most educated and most refined king in Nigeria.

You ain't that bright after all
you said and i quote
"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."

So i ask you 'What in the procession to the throne shows exaggeration'?
'which are two most prominent monarchs today'?
'Are the places ''Ondo - Akoko areas. Ibo land - Onitsha area. Lagos - Obalende & Island" and up to Benin republic few towns around Benin?

Guess u don't even know the Benin conquered up to Benin republic, and you must also be very delusional to think a Benin person wrote that shit on wikipedia that is subject to change any day anytime....that shit has been corrected alot of times buh it keeps changing cos u yorubas dnt just seem to be able to come to terms with the fact that we re indeed greater than you..

You must be very naive to think a stupid article backed by some dirty minds from the west in collaboration with a white who doesn't even know his roots yet will come down here and give you accurate result about your roots and you believe him cos he has a white skin, What were his methods of research?, where did he visit, whi did he ask?what gave him those notions? and what proofs does he have of those lies spilled by some yorubas who think themselves so educated to always twist history just to suite themselves cos they cant come to fact that we are greater than them


Your ooni oranmiyan story is so faulted even a primary school pupil will sense the naivity of the writer....

Come back and present viable facts and proofs When you are ready to be objective and read quality materials not those penned by your tribesman........ Before i go i recommend you go check out the meaning of an empire...



NB: Check up an English dictionary not a yoruba dictionary

bilulu:

or maybe u don't no d oba of Benin is greater Dan ur alafin n ooni combine.... if u like go n die

ruggedized1:
All those are mere traditional rulers. Only the Obi of Onitsha dynasty is the only one recognised even from the time the colonial masters came.

What is obi of oguta? Please remove that nonsense there.

Deji, Soun, Ataoja, Timi are all in Baale/Olubadan Ibadan's league.

Soun & Timi thrones are not traditional but founded as a result of Oyo's military kini (ran out of vocabs right now, pardon me).

Deji's throne was founded by Owa Atakumosa of Ilesa and for a while Deji throne was under the influence of Ilesa and I think Ijesa territories expanded towards that front.

Ataoja's throne is a recent throne whose relevance is solely derived from Osogbo being a state capital. In Yoruba history, Osogbo & Ataoja played a latent position in the scheme of things.

Is Alaafin in your list of first class due to Oyo's military power?

Obaluf0n:


Lol I stopped reading your trip when I got to the emboldened part.

Boy, your exposure to history is fraught with unadultrated ignorance. I can not waste my time with you.

There are two kingdom's, the Benin kingdom and the united kingdom, children everywhere saying trash what they know nothing about, i rep the only king that does not go on transfer i rep the great OBA of BENIN

Basic123:
what is so special in your republic.It is not restricted to igbo land.every town in nigeria has traditional head with its own cabinet.

And we are talking of being more republican,I give it to Oyo empire.They had a prime minister(baashorun gaa),council of ministers.The legislature(oyo mesis),the judiciary(ogbonis).The ilaris(police),the Ajeles(like civil servants)'

fuckerholic:

Sentimental list..what about oblong of calabar ? Edidem prof have forgotten his name ?

pazienza:


How exactly was Oyo republican? Do you know the meaning of that word? Oyo was Monarchical.

Monarchy is a primitive level of governance, I don't know why Nigerians are obsessed about it.

Yes, the Igbo mini republics were special. It's a complex system of democracy that ensured that peace reigned in the region without unnecessary wars of ego, expansionism and power that comes with monarchies, that nearly destroyed Yolobaland in your Kiriji skirmishes.

No system is perfect, but Igbo republican system was and is better, and is closer to what developed nations practice today.

MONITZ:



Really, that ur state must be bigger than the country then, I need to know that state asap...

balosunky:
Jesus 10 first kings in your state alone or do u mean ur state first class kings. Even olubadan,oba of lagos and olu of warri are just political first kings just like the Deji of akure speaking from my yoruba's view

shinarambo1:

The obelisk (opa oranmiyan) confirms that he returned to ife. Ifa (the yoruba religion) backs it up too.

What proof have people got that oranmiyan left descedants in katunga(old oyo) or benin? For all we know, they could also be making claim to blood link just like arab kings to mohammed.

He who wears Oduduwa' s original crown is the greatest of the yoruba kings, and that is the 51st Ooni of ife...Oduduwa being the number 1 Ooni. A thousand Alaafin can't make a claim on Ade Aare (Oduduwa's original crown).
An ife prince from centuries ago till present would never bow to an Alaafin or Olowu or any other king in yoruba land. Fact...

Most yoruba towns founded years after the demise of oranmiyan e.g Iwo, Ikire, owo, ila-orangun, Awori, akure, Ado ekiti, aramoko ekiti, emure, ikole, ikere, Usi, kabba e.t.c just to mention a few were established by princes that left ife to build their own settlements...These towns all the way from kogi to lagos have also been distorting histories for years..according to the alaafin... lol

Benin...not so relevant to the history of yoruba. They are a minority tribe.

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.

---why are you beefing the the oba of benin? Are you conversant with your history? Have you heard of the great benin empire? Are you aware that the empire got to kogi state,onitsha,down to benin republic? Do u know that he is the most respected monarch? Do u hear him blabbing like your yoruba monarchs? I suggest nairaland should start screening posts

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, the throne does not command much respect nor influence & it has no lasting imprint anywhere outside Edo areas - save for few towns around it.


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