The part in bold is what Nairaland is all about.

SlyDev:
"A rare photo of a Diviner, Alaafin of Oyo & the almost legendary Capt. William A Ross. Who helped Alaafin of Oyo gain prominence again as paramount ruler of Yorubas- He was resident of Oyo 1914-1931. Ross was a friend of Alaafin Ladigbolu I. See how organized the palace is?"

Astrid4:


Am proud ohhhh at least am not a descendant of a fool who led a civil with bamboo tree and sticks

ezegenigbonine:


Can't you see the heroic nature of that guy. That's my legend you posted his picture. Chain odogwum ogburunma na is I ijere anu ana agba egbe ona ete shoki

Astrid4:


How would you have known when your ancestors were in bush with apes and gorillas
Slaves calling themselves Jews

invinzible1:

[s]LoL. Since you lack cognitive reasoning, the premises of my engagement with you was not on tribal argument, as someone whose parents wasted money through primary to sec school probably and probably higher education, you came out to the public to say that picture was taken in 1600, lol I really hope you are the last born of your family[/s]

Truthvalue3:

Actually, I am not assuming anything, you are clearly not smart enough to have this debate.

LegendHero:
Oyo Alaafin.
Ojo pa sekere omo atiba
Oyo nipe kolowo ko gbowo
Oni koni iwofa gba tire
Ase kole ba di’ja, ko le ba daapon
Komo oba le ri ‘n muje
Oyo gbin agbado oran seyinkule elenkule
Elenkule o gbodo faatu, be ni ko si gbodo faaya.

Amalekki:

At what point in history? Which also depends on what version of history you believe.
TODAY, no one is greater.
They are kings of totally separate domains.

seunmsg:


The descendants of those that occupied the old Oyo are the ones in the present Oyo. They are all the same people. Oyo is Oyo.

truthCoder:


I like that…

If you think you know your onions on this subject, I challenge you to a debate.

Don’t clap back with insults.

Facts for facts.

Are you game or you want to give excuses?

defcon4:


Please I would like to know.
The Alaafin and the Ife king. Which is greater?
What parts or function do they play?

Astrid4:


Hero that exiled the country as a woman
Leaving your fathers and grandfather languishing in abject poverty and hunger

BKayy:

No allow them to finish celebrating what the white men built as theirs before I give them receipts of the original Alaafin of Oyo's Palace

treatise:

A Whiteman helping a traditional ruler to gain prominence is his homeland?

HedwigesMaduro:
At this period when Yorubas had palaces and civilisation yeebos were still wearing palm fronds hopping from tree to tree.

BKayy:

The picture is from early 20th century (after Amalgamation).
By then, Igbo businessmen have started developing estates in Lagos.

By the way, I never knew we would get to a level when Yorubas will start celebrating what the white men built as theirs.

Lol. These people are more Shameless than I thought.

Truthvalue3:
this is not a western movie, you don't need to "provoke" a duel, if you don't agree with a thing which I said then point to it and share your reservations. If you have a claim to submit then do so and don't forget to attach it to a proof.

Truthvalue3:

I believe astrid4 is not older than 13 years old.

ezegenigbonine:


If you are learned, you must remember this wise word (May live to fight another day; But he who is battle slain. Can never rise to fight again.”)

BKayy:

You mean the Igbo women in your picture that are wearing rare copper spirals worth atleast 12 million Naira in todays amount on their legs are naked?

If you want to talk about people being naked, talk about the Yoruba women in the picture below that the few things they are wearing are worth absolutely nothing

You can't compare yourselves with Ndigbo. There has never been a time we were mates

0balufonlll:


Are you greater than your father?
If no, then you have your answer.

BKayy:

No allow them to finish celebrating what the white men built as theirs before I give them receipts of the original Alaafin of Oyo's Palace

truthCoder:


You are simply an excuse giver with no content.

You refute alternate opinions without providing yours. You assume the position of a fact god when your innards are as empty as a cheap Chinese bag. I would have used you to scrub the floors of Nairaland today but it seems you are reserved for another day.

A king rules a kingdom, not a town.

Jaqenhghar:
This current Alaafin na only to bleach and bang underage girls him sabi.
Actualy all these so called royal fathers are the same. All they do is
Flaunt their wealth
Bang chics and little else. There is even one sef that is a weed head. He was videoed rolling a blunt

invinzible1:

Even a 13 year old teen should be wiser in this case.
My prayers is that astrid4 should just be the last child of his family they can easily do away with him and focus on those before him
