Well, my ex-roommate told me that a popular monarch in Oyo State, normally, forcefully marries any light-skinned girl that passes the palace or that he sees, something like that.

Ahn han........not anymore oh Back then, human rights wasn't really existing. The Monarchs had supreme power, they made and broke laws.

The only way that would happen now is with the consent of the woman in question.

Fela had over 30 wives.
KSA has about 6 wives.

I'm sure at least one of these women must have abandoned her husband for affluence and wealth.

About, the fair girls stuff, i don't know.

it still happens.And it is oyo not ibadan..The alaafin of oyo can have any woman/lady that pleases him.Nobody can do anything to him..He is very powerful politically so the police are under his foots.In those days,when he snatches your wife you have to run away from town,because if u are caught,u wld be castrated and made to work in the palace pounding yam for ur ex-wife..lol..He is old now so he doesn't do dat again,but the picture of his smallest wife that I saw on net recently,hardly will she be older than you!

And about the fair lady part,yes oyo people are one of the best bleachers in Nigeria thus making most of them fair.Their men like anything fair not only their king now.

Haaaaaa!!!! Understatement baba...small small now and I thought your name was understatement.

It's like you stopped liking the name and decided to make us know today.

Anyway, I think a lot of what you say is true but I think people tell a lot of exaggerated versions of these stories.

Like I said earlier, any woman leaving her husband or getting married to this monarchs must have been lured with wealth or threatened in some cases but I don't think the occurrence is common to only yoruba monarchs or even monarchs. Rich men do it all the time.

Chai......Chiamaka, this issue isn't as elaborate as people make it seem. It's something that happens everywhere in as much as the wife snatcher is rich and influential.

People mostly take a lot of historical stories they have heard and their dramatic minds mixes the stories up with real life occurrences.

Don't let yoruba girls bobo you oh They are good at that
