The Alafin of Oyo has no crown at all. Ade lafi nmo Oba. Thecrown being used now was granted by Adeoyo (Balogun Akinlagun), father –in-law to my great grand father who was also a Balogun of Ibadan.

The crown was not fortified accordingly because the Kabiyesi, Ogunola the Baale and final arbiter in Yoruba Land, the Emperor of Ibadan Empire refused to grant real crown for the fact that he saw Alaafin as someone that would eventually grow wings. Many people who know the History of Ibadan vis – a- vis the authority the Baales displayed over their fore fathers, still harbor resentment against Ibadan of today.

The Oke-Ogun Obas, people and Alaafin are in the same camp. Ibadan Indigenes of today are loving, accommodating, and very Godly.

Yeye

So we should boil Yam?

Nice discovery.

Alaafin, (Owner of the Palace), doesn't have the symbol of the palace?

So who stole his crown?

This is not the right section.

Buh tao111, Olu317, what do you think?

The fight for the creation of Osun State Nigeria started in the 1950s. At that time, the current Osun State was under the Ibadan District Authority. The representatives of Osun West, East, and Central, submitted the petition to the British Colonial Government. They wanted to create an autonomy for Osun State. Moreover, they even proposed Oshogbo as the autonomy headquarters.The leaders of Osun State pursued this agenda up to 1951. Only the colonialists headed by H.L. Butcher, managed to settle down the leaders of Osun State. H.L. Butcher granted an autonomy for Osun District Towns on April 1st, 1951. After that, the leaders of Osun State had to wait more than 40 years for the creation of their state! Thanks
