Wow so Oba of Lagos wasn't even a second class king

Caseless:
I don't think the eweshinor of ondo and that title for the abeokuta king still exist anymore.

It is Osemawe of Ondo

The other one is Alake of Egba land

lagos had never been part of afonja land, did you see any of them there?,
nowadays they are claiming lagos

Who notice dat it was only d Benin king dat was recognised as the Oba

maynation:
Some second class Yoruba obas earned much more than Oba of benin.

Wonderful

You are right.

Did you compare the salaries of Oba of Benin and Ooni of Ife?

StUriah:

oh, it's now called alake? I see.

SURELAND:
This is the salaries of south west Obas before independence

Its only the oba of benin that was called oba there...
Oba is foreign to yorubas....

You should edit the topic of your post and replace the word oba to kings or monarchs to best describe all

Oba is for benin alone as you can see it there

If I recall my history correctly, it was Awolowo that reduced the power of Alaafin and elevated Ooni because of politics, i think Alaafin was in support of Ziks party.

You are right here.

Historically and Politically, Ooni's father served Oduduwa and ALAAFIN.
The son of a slave is a slave and the son of a king is a king
Ooni has always been lowly ranked before the wealthy and flamboyant Sijuade for the first time tried to change d narrative.
ALAAFIN was the head of the government the colonial masters met on ground; overseeing kingdom that stretched to Benin Republic who still speak Yoruba today courtesy ALAAFIN colonization.

ALAAFIN's peers are only princes of Oduduwa royal lineage not sons of their former chief priest. The Oragun Ile ila, I'm not so sure is an Oduduwa's prince and so not even comparable to Ooni, let alone junior to him.

If social media makes Elegushi or Oluwo most appealing kings to this generation, it will be of no consequence to tradition. Royalty is only transferable by birth, so before anybody starts to claim superiority in any kingdom, you will first be asked who your father is. Then they will now determine the crown Prince among the sons of a king is.

Imagine you are claiming superiority in Britain and you are not even related to the Queen, that's how funny it is

Where did you get this nonsense you've typed

Kingluqman:
This is not the rank of how powerful they are, it’s just their salaries. Mind you, Alaafin was collecting more money than others is because the king oversee all the Oyo Empire which comprises of many towns of Yoruba land even to Benin republic.


Till today, Ooni of Ife still remain the number 1 Oba in Yoruba land and second to Sultan of Sokoto in Nigeria.


Argue with your balls

How did you come about the ranking between Ooni and Sultan?

No, he'not!

The date on the paper was much earlier than the period he referenced by about 20yrs.

Lagos was not included because it was under treaty as a colony, and not a province.

Dont you see if Lagos is not Yoruba because it is not in list of Yoruba Obas...but the monarch of Bini is in the list, then what does that make Oba of Benin....

Una no get sense....just like to blow vuvuzela without harmony.
