Olubadan would win, and Onibadan would refuse to change his decisions.

Wasting of time. How and when did he get his own crown? Didn't he too only start wearing a crown only some few decades ago?

Bolustical:
Olubadan wants to disgrace himself,

Ibadan is just too big for one person to rule,

Even the small Abeokuta (compared to IB) has around 4 Kings or so,

He should just respect himself.

Every town has its own perculiarity and history. Comparison of Abeokuta with Ibadan in terms of number of kings does not hold water. Abeokuta is a commonwealth of Egba, Owu, Yewa, Ijaiye and other people. Ake, Owu, Ibara and Ijaiye were towns on their own likewise Oke - Ona and Gbagura also had many towns and villages back then
These people took refuge from war at different time in history in Abeokuta. Abeokuta kings were beaded kings for many generations before migrating to the current site now called Abeokuta today.
Ibadan was part of Egba old location before they were pushed to Abeokuta. Ibadan was a war camp and was ruled in succession by the war lords who were Magajis of their family.This history of having various strong warlords made Ibadan to refuse monarch system .Baale of Ibadan was a subject of Alaafin as at then. Olubadan was given beaded crown around 1940's in order to be in tune with reality of time. Olubadan cannot be a Baale when Ibadan was the biggest city in Africa then.
The high chiefs have been classified as 2nd class rulers for a long time but now conferred with crowns but now as 2nd class kings.
Every king has his own domain but this newly elevated kings will be ruling over their family except the Baales who were in charge of various villages.
There is a need for Ibadan kingship to be decentralised but this recent development seems to be full of errors.
The Nigerian kings in general are more or less a conduit for unnecessary expenditures. What is their function in a democratic setting? Every king should take of himself not constituting unnecessary burden to the people.

Check your history well. It is even available on the internet. Olubadan used to be a baale. He did not start wearing a beaded crown until December 1976, under a military administration. The first olubadan to wear a crown was Oba Gbadamosi Akanbi Adebimpe 1976-1977. It is on the internet. It was even the Alaafin and oonirisa that advocated on his behalf that he deserves a beaded crown. It is on the internet. He is just being a hypocrite.
