Controversy: Yoruba Oba Drops Title, Becomes Emir by myright: 7:10pm On Mar 31, 2018
The Oluwo of Iwoland in Osun state, Oba Adbulrasheed Akanbi Saturday made history when he dropped the the title of Oba and declared his resolve to adopt the Emir title popularly known with Northern traditional rulers. Oluwo of Iwoland, Adbulrasheed Akanbi Speaking at the installation and turbarning ceremony of an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Yahquub Abdul-Baaqi Mohammed as first Waziri of Yoruba land, Oba Akanbi said he decided to now bear “Emir of Iwoland” because he wants to emulate the attitudes of northern Emirs. According to Oluwo, Northern traditional rulers are better behaved than his counterparts from the Southwest saying Yoruba Obas are full of bickering, acrimony and enmities. He said Yoruba traditional rulers lacks cooperation and expected royal characters saying the Yoruba Obas have been polarized owing to enmities. Oba Akanbi said until Yoruba Obas come together, shun enmities and backbiting, Hausas would continue to rule Nigeria. “I have decided to officially adopt Emir title today because I want to emulate the attitudes of Northern Emirs. They don’t begrudge themselves like Yoruba Obas. ” It will surprise you to discover that for the past two years, there has not been meeting of Yoruba traditional rulers just because of enmities. There is nothing strange in adopting Emir title. I am the Emir of Yorubaland,” Oluwo said. Meanwhile, amid tight security presence, Oba Akanbi installed and turbarned an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Yahquub Abdul-Baaqi Mohammed as first Waziri of Yoruba land. At the well attended ceremony held at the palace of of the traditional ruler in Iwo on Saturday, Islamic scho)lars, Islamic organisations, Imams and Alfas, government functionaries among other notable personalities in the state were present. The installation of the Waziri was against warning served on Oluwo by the League of Imams and Alfas in Southwest Nigeria, Edo and Delta States asking Oba Akanbi to desist from installing Alhaji Mohammed as the Waziri of the Southwest. In a statement signed by the President , League of lmams and Alfas, Southwest Nigeria, Edo and Delta States, Sheikh Jamiu Kewulere Bello urged Oba Akanbi to limit the title to Iwoland and not to the entire Yorubaland as being purported. ” The proposed installation of the said recipient by your Highness as the Waziri of Iwo land is no doubt the result of your avowed commitment to the development of lslam, the lwo Community and Osun State in general “However, it is our considered hope that your Highness should as a matter of urgency correct the rumours making the round that the organisers of this event are trying to over blow the ceremony to capture the entire Yorubaland. This is not right.” But Oba Akanbi shunned warnings by the Islamic leaders and installed the Waziri amid pomp and pageantry saying “Iwo has used this Waziri title to announce to the world that truly Iwo is the citadel of Islamic knowledge.” The traditional ruler added that “Iwo has a unique and distinctive traditional history among the entire Yoruba race. And these peculiarities have made Iwo to be at the forefront in Yoruba land. ” The occasion of the installation of Waziri Yorubaland is another great opportunity to create the necessary awareness and promote to the entire world the deep Islamic culture and heritage in Iwo. “Waziri did not come from Northern part of Hausa tribe but from God. So, there is nothing strange in installing Waziri. Yoruba has forgotten their history. Whoever is critisising me lacks history of Yorubaland,” the monarch noted. The new Waziri promised to render selfless services that would promote religious growth and peaceful coexistence in Yorubaland

The Oluwo better be tamed before he becomes a bone in the neck of traditional institutions in the south west. What the fvck is Emir or waziri of Yoruba land?

Kabiyesi Sir, please respect yourself before it is too late. Lots of us admire you because of the swag you brought to the Iwo throne. However, if you start bringing infested wood into our house the same way Afonja did years ago in Ilorin, we will have no choice than to turn against you. Fulani titles are not acceptable in the south west.

As a Yoruba Muslim its our duty and a thing of pride to serve the Caliphate. The Caliphate named us the "Yoruba" we answer today, the Caliphate rescued us from the hands of Dahormey girls, the Caliphate sight the moon for us because we are lesser Muslims. As a Yoruba Muslim tell me why I shouldn't be subservient and loyal to the Caliphate.

The guy is only joking. This cannot stand. He will rather loose the throne and go to Saudi where they have emirs. Not in Yoruba land. You cannot change a traditional title to a religious title at your whims and caprices. I believe the court will upturn it.

I think this will put the end to any form of emir in Yoruba land. The people of Ilorin can also go to court and change the name of that useless title.

Emir is not a traditional title in Yorubaland.

they claim sophistication and liberal. They say there is nothing like Yoruba Muslim and Christian. They claim to be one indivisible tribe. Just look where that attitude has gotten their Christian folks now

Emir of Iwoland” because he wants to emulate the attitudes of northern Emirs. According to Oluwo, Northern traditional rulers are better behaved than his counterparts from the Southwest saying Yoruba Obas are full of bickering, acrimony and enmities. He said Yoruba traditional rulers lacks cooperation and expected royal characters saying the Yoruba Obas have been polarized owing to enmities. Oba Akanbi said until Yoruba Obas come together, shun enmities and backbiting, Hausas would continue to rule Nigeria. “I have decided to officially adopt Emir title today because I want to emulate the attitudes of Northern Emirs.

Lol someone can wake up tomorrow and change title. His reason for change are hilarious. The guy even brushed off his fellow Muslim experts to declare himself the Emir of the state. This topic is a good laugh.
