Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland has given insight into why the holder of the Yoruba generalissimo title and the Alaafin of Oyo cannot stay together in the same territory.

Speaking in an interview with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Aare Adams who went down memory lane said also said that in the olden days, the Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight with guns and doesn’t just fight any wars. He only goes to the waterfront to give spiritual backing to his soldiers and give instructions after the war is over.

According to him, if the Aare Ona Kakanfo is forced to go to any village, he is usually accompanied by over 1,700 brave soldiers which signalled trouble for any community he went to.

He said “Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight war alone. In the history of Yorubaland, no Aare Ona Kakanfo succeeds without incorporating the powerful people in different zones. Even in the history of Aare Ona Kakanfo, in the war strategy, Yorubaland was split into four different angles called Ekun Merin. It was zoned as Igboona/Kwara axis is one; Oyo/Osun two; Ogun/Lagos three; Ondo/Ekiti four. This was zoned in the olden days, which shows you that our forefathers have native intelligence, not to talk about the creation of states now”.

“When we were going to the confab, the South-West was shared into three: Lagos and Ogun; Osun and Oyo and Ekiti and Ondo. However, in the olden days, they were four because Kogi and Kwara were included. So, Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight war anyhow. He only goes to the waterfront to the commission after the war has ended. He gives spiritual backing, instructions and coordination. Unless if that war is a very strong one beyond his boys, then he will now go to the waterfront with his staff of office”.

“Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight wars with guns. When Aare Ona Kakanfo wants to move out, he has 800 soldiers in the front and another 800 behind him, with giving at both sides. Aare will be at the back with the horse. These are not ordinary soldiers, but brave men who can transform into anything. That was why they said ‘Aare n pe e, o lo ndi’fa. Ti ifa ti e ba fore nko, sugbon ti Aare o ba fore, e woo loo se’.

“When Aare Ona Kakanfo is coming to a coming to a village or community with almost 1,700 soldiers, already the king of that village knows that there is a problem”.

“That is why Aare Ona Kakanfo cannot live in Oyo with Alaafin. That can never happen. The Japata people in Oyo said they wanted to become Aare Ona Kakanfo. Alaafin said if I made you Aare, you cannot live here again’. Alaafin now gave them a village behind Ogbomosho to settle down”.

“ That was why two Aare Ona Kakanfo came from Japata. Even before I became Aare, I have been doing my job, fighting for Yorubaland in my own level . The Aare Ona Kakanfo title only gave me the position to complement my efforts”.

What's the one saying

Truly, Aare ona kankanfo and Alaafin cannot stay in the same place.

The following are the list of the past Fourteen Aare Ona Kakanfo (from archive) that had been:

1. Kokoro igangan of Iwoye-Ketu,

2. Oyatope of Iwoye,

3. Oyabi of Ajase,

4. Adeta of Jabata,

5. Oku of Jabata,

6. Afonja l’aiya l’oko of ilorin,

7. Toyeje of Ogbomoso,

8. Edun of Gbogan,

9. Amepo of Abemo,

10. Kurumi of Ijaye,

11. Ojo Aburumaku of Ogbomoso (son of Toyeje)

12. Latoosa of Ibadan

13. Ladoke Akintola of Ogbomosho (the premier of western region during the first republic.

14. MKO Abiola of Abeokuta.

15. Gani Adams of Arigidi-Akoko.

The real Aare ona kankanfo ended with Aare Latosa of ibadan

Yes Latoosa was the last real Aare

This tout thinks we are interested. Aare Ona Kakanfo that is watching while Fulani herdsmen are killing his brothers, raping his mothers and sisters, is that one Aare or street tout?

Marketetot:
What should I do with this information now?

Don't mind the street tout

Why can't they use spiritual on the herdsmen? This is easy now with all his power.shioooo.

Akintola...he died a hero

illicit:
Yes Latoosa was the last real Aare

nairavsdollars:
Akintola...he died a hero

Akintola didn't die for anyone

The script is poorly edited, it's supposed to be warfront and not waterfront

It is Jabata and not Japata

This old piece of shyt again

Yoruba people name can sound funny at times... please what's the meaning of JAPATA?

Most of the whole Humanity has been deceived and enslaved by Satan through myopic bloated Ego. We await MESSIAH to rescue we that have refused to be made to hate our CREATOR just for show-off ephemeral glory that Satan gives on Earth. Repent and invite HOLY SPIRIT to take permanent Ownership of your Life so that you shall be Rapture-ready!

Hope he knows how Afonja, Ladoke Akintola and MKO Abiola ended

Let him tow the path of IBA Oluyole, IBA Latosa and other Aare that understood the power behind the office

Afonja was using Islamic Torah and forming Muslim, Ladoke was a Christian devotee, MKO Abiola a Muslim, they forgot they needed real dark magic

Noted

Oga just talk am say u no fit lead war, say u are scared

Make u gettat jare

Ajisebi oyo laari,oyo o ni she bi baba eni kokan....

Do your job. Protect Yoruband from the sahel marauders

Aare by mouth
No be tea poisoning or strangling dem take kill MKO?

Na political Aare we dey get now.

THRASH

I know why this guy is not always jumping on fighting for the Yoruba tube ever since he became an Aare.
If he loses, the fate of those Aare before him might befall him. Example is that of Chief MKO Abiola.

MKO

You can't have two captain in one sheap

First for clearity, Aare Ona Kakanfo means Field Marshal Is Alaafin your mate in all things….

Alaafin, or The Owner of the Palace in the Yoruba language, is the title of the emperor of the medieval Oyo empire.

It takes Alaafin to make you a field marshal. So both you and the 1 million soldiers in front and back submits to Alaafin.


So, why the hype of self. Alaafin is coming for you.

Traditional or not Traditional, if I say O you say P another man say C, omo na you sabi, dem kill man, plenty man ooooo, for inside Ajegunle dem burn house plenty man ooooo for inside Ajegunle.
This Gani Adams is supposed to be Hague, for crimes against humanity.

Ehya! So they really do fight war in the olden days? Wetin go make dem go to war these days sef?

Why Areonakakafo did use his soldiers to defeat white people why did his soldiers not transform them selves to bees and killed all the white people that took them as slaves to Brazil tales by moonlight story
