this is for all yorubas ,its something i have always wondered about between the alaafin of oyo and the king of ife sijuade who is the authentic king of the yorubas overall?please im not talking about social standing or riches or political clout in the present day nigeria but traditionally who is supposed to be the overall and authentic leader of the yorubas

the alaafin is the king of the yorubas but because of money and influence the ooni seems to have taken that role,infact the name ooni has no meaning in yoruba and ooni was actually the keeper of the shrine in ife

Of course the Ooni's the father of the yorubas. that's elementary yoruba cultural knowledge.

alaafin is the number,yorubas are just easily influenced by money thats why oooni has prominence

can you see its not soo elementary  so does anyone know at what point the equilibrum changed,if i recollect from a few books read there were no arguments during the time of aderemi the former ooni and the alaafin then(not sure if the present one was there during aderemi's time) |
