emmasege: U got it wrong. How can Oyo be our ancestral home?, who taught you Yoruba history?. U need to re-enrol for a Yoruba class under a sound tutor. Where do u call your ancestral home?, Isn't it where ur Patriach lived/founded. Oduduwa is our Patriach, had only one son- Okanbi who also had seven sons. Oduduwa lived and died in Ife. His seven grandsons spread out to different parts of Yoruba land and Oranmiyan happened to be one of the seven who relocated to Oyo to become Alaafin. Historically, Alaafin is in the same class as Deji of Akure, Oba of Benin, Alake of Egba land among others. Don't compare Oyo with ile-Ife at all. Egbe eye l'eye nwo to o.In addition to what you just said, The founder of Oyo ile in katunga, present day Niger state, the 1st ruler of Oyo, The 4th king of Ife, 1st of his name, Oranmiyan 1 also died in ife. 3 Likes |

Emeka71: Nice one though by the Alafin of Oyo. I was at the Ooni of Ife palace at Ile-ife just last 2 weeks on 5th August when some PDP people thought Omisore would win the elections. that Aregbesola will leave office.this is the problem with freedom of speech, whereby some APC armchair analyst and clueless fools will always drag exiting trend into politics......# |

Makes me proud of my Yoruba heritage. Kudos to Oba Lamidi Adeyemi.

Not a yoruba indigene but this is highly commendable..if more African rural or kingdom leaders were doing more of this for their tribes,they will boost tourism and bring money to that part of the nation and it really baffles me when some people dont grasp that logic...guess its the price for living in such an uneducated,un-cultured age An age when they know more about lil wayne's baby mama and beyounce's songs than they know about themselves and where they are from...lost generation 11 Likes |

RoyalRoy:Well you have done well in educating people on this thread. I know alaafin well, I grew up in oyo town and some of his kids were my classmates. As old as he is he's very smart and kind,his english is impeccable,he gets younger and lighter every day. Some says he uses ajidewe. He picks a wife every year,some of them are very young girls with some still in secondary school while he married them. There's another myth that he's using the women for something. He's a loving father,all his kids live in the palace and he gives them equal opportunity. You won't know their mothers apart when you see them. He visits them on visiting days in secondary school then which happens once a month. 6 Likes |

But when the Dahomey sacked Oyo ile. Oyo became politically handicapped and irrelivant since then. Well, this thread is boring, only good for pictures but abounds with poster with next to zero knowledge of Yoruba history and tradition history....

RoyalRoy: Just check out the regalia and swags of Oba Adeyemi With his pretty queen.!!! You used to come off much more intelligent than what you posted there. From your perspective, traveling to Brazil means Alaafin is greater? (keep in mind no King is greater than the other, to each his domain). Let me broaden your myopic view point: 1. Ooni by tradition is not expected to travel anyway. 2. His age is not of much help. 3. Ooni doesn't have to travel to promote Yoruba culture, do you know how many gods are in each family compounds in Ife and how foreigners (from Brazil and beyond) troop to Ife almost daily to be initiated and to learn? 4. Do you know how much they struggle and hustle to see Ooni? 5. Ever witnessed Olojo festival, Itapa festival, the recent Oduduwa festival -------- being an itinerant king doesn't make one greater than the other, there is more for Ooni to show Yoruba/Africans in the Diaspora in his backyard than what Alaafin has to show, hence the latter is bound to travel around. Ooni and Alaafin debate of which is greater is not only stupid but divisive, history states that Oranmiyan gave birth to the ruling houses in Ife, it also states that Oduduwa (Oranmiyan's father) has his throne and Aare in Ife which Ooni holds and by implication throws Alaafin behind me. Also keep in mind Alaafin has many Yoruba kings who are his elders in other parts of Yorubaland who are worthy of claiming seniority but they are not, no matter what personality occupies a throne or a house, culture demands you respect the office of such person - Ooni occupies Alaafin's father's throne and by implication, he his Alaafin's father and should respect that. 5 Likes |

Babafaros: Every1 knows Alaafin na Boss,Who is Ooni of ife beside a god himself Blaqsmith: Ooni is just like a head of state in parliamentarianism ....Oba Lamidi Adeyemi is more than a king in Yorubaland,he is a god! RoyalRoy: Just check out the regalia and swags of Oba Adeyemi With his pretty queen.!!! Why compare the two? Must we? We are some of the reasons why these Obas are trying to distort history to fit their ego. I'm sure he will tell the whole of Brazil that Ooni is Omo Ale like he has always said just like Omonoba was saying Oduduwa was a slave in Benin Kingdom. From History Ife has never paid Homage to Alaafin nor Oyo. Oyo was made strong due to its Military power during Sango's reign and never ruled over Ife, like Benin with its Military Power would never think about conquering Ile-ife or any kingdom ruled by any of Oranmiyan's Sons. 3 Likes |

saxywale: Royalroy started the whole confusion, It was a nice thread but he spoilt the thread himself by trying to downgrade Ooni and Ile-Ife. He should have read more about Ile-Ife and Yoruba culture before he posted that sh1t. How can Alaafin be greater than Ooni when Alaafin is Son of Ife, can a Son be greater than his Father? I was born and raised in Ile-Ife, I've witnessed many Olojo Festivals at Olodo Compound and Enuwa. Ooni of Ife is the Spiritual Leader of Yoruba Race, The Arole of Oduduwa. The Custodian. I don't like doing this sh1t, it's an over-flogged issue on nl. Lots of Brazilians, Cubans, Europeans and Americans come to Ile-Ife regularly to learn about our Yoruba Tradition and Traditional Religion. And talking about traveling, Ooni has been to almost everywhere on this planet earth. And I'm from Ilesa. Konmight Say So. 1 Like |
