As dem don lose their regular jobs na to face subsistence farming remain.

That's so childish of Sowumi...

I am a Yoruba man and we are not brought up to speak to elders like that

Even though some South-South people will be happy because they are PDP and have anything against Buhari or APC...

But let's call a spade a spade you don't talk to an elder like that irrespective of the region or political affiliations.

In certain cases, the ‘omoluabi’ lifestyle has to give way to the ‘rascal’ within. Else, you’ll be a victim to folks who seek to take advantage of your good up-bringing.

@Olu317: it is even worse that you are unintelligent with the way you rely on your scurry of the internet for data. .

@Obalufon: I expected you to have data knowing that you’re an Omo Ilara but I’m not surprised. A good number of us from the source do not have information on certain things. So apart from the screenshots from Iraye Day magazine, see the quotes from weblinks below.

About 1040 A.D., the Ayes of Iraye left the suburb of Ile Ife (Center of African Spirituality and the cradle of Yoruba Civilization) in search of larger territory and finally about 1180 A.D., King Iji-Emigun led the AYES out of IGBOLE-AYEand founded Efon-Alaaye Kingdom. According to Efon oral Tradition, the Kingdom had 12 sub-towns under the dominion of the Alaye (King) of Efon. Moreover, Efon was a regimented society. Before the advent of the British administration, there was no dichotomy (difference) between administrative and judicial functions in Efon Both functions were rolled together. There was nothing like the separation of power, as we know it today where there are dichotomies between Legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary. The Traditional Council OF Efon performed both functions (Judicial and administration) at the same time and place. The OLORI-EBI or a few elders who happened to be present settled trivial matters in the family usually.

Òdúdú-Ọ̀runkú, the grandson of Odùduwà was the progenitor of Ayès of Èfòn. It was said that when Òdúdú-Ọ̀runkú was a little boy, Ọ̀ọ̀ni Ọbalúfòn Ógbógbódirin was fond of him and he often displays his affection towards him by letting him sit on his lap. Consequently, at about 950 A.D., the second Ọ̀ọ̀ni of Ifẹ̀, Ọbalúfòn Ógbógbódirin carved out a territory named Ìráyè, the site of the present town of MODÁKẸ́KẸ́, and made his beloved son, ODÙDÙ Ọ̀RUNKÚN the overlord and the Aláyè of Ìráyè.

Whenever Aláyè play host to the Ọ̀ọ̀ni of Ifẹ̀, it is a customary practice for the Aláyè to sit on Ọ̀ọ̀ni’s lap. Similarly, whenever the Ọ̀ọ̀ni of Ifẹ̀ plays host to Aláyè – the Aláyè is not made to follow protocol at the palace of Ọ̀ọ̀ni of Ifẹ̀, he is given a free rein.

The fondness Ọ̀ọ̀ni extended to Aláyè appears to be a re-enactment of the past when the Aláyè was treated as a favorite child of Ọ̀ọ̀ni ÒGBÓGBÓDIRIN. However, at about 1040 A.D., the AYÈS left Ìráyè in search of larger territory and finally about 1180 A.D., ÌJÌ-È̩MÍGÙN led the AYÈS out of ÌGBÓLÉ-AYÈ and founded È̩FÒN-ALÁAYÈ Kingdom.

Efon Alaaye is located on Longitude 4.8 degrees – East and Latitude 7.6 degrees – North. It is situated on an elevation of about 500 metres above sea level. It is a very large town covering several hills, hill sides, plains and valleys, hence we talk of areas like Oke Imolekere, Oke Iloja, Oke Are, Oke Ojabalu, Oke Ahun, Odo Ijao, Odo Ibete, Odo Ejigan, etc. The prefix Oke means (hills) and Odo means (Valley). There are many streams flowing round the town but none passes through the town. The topography of the town is mountainous and the hills were claimed to be of advantage to the people of the town during the days of the inter-tribal wars. The hills made invasion of Efon difficult for invaders, hence, the saying “Oke lo mu Alaaye tile ogun” – (the mountain emboldens the Alaaye to wage war). “Omo-Oloke lomoke gun” – It is the son of the soil that can climb the hills with ease source: https://ekitistate.gov.ng/about-ekiti/towns-villages/efon-alaaye/
