MsNas: Well, I'm from Oyo State, though from Ibadan (Omo Ibadan and always proud of it ). The Alaafin of Oyo actually does well in promoting the Yoruba culture a lot. Makes me proud of my Yoruba heritage. Kudos to Oba Lamidi Adeyemi. I've not seen Oba Sijuade out these days that much, wonder why...its obvious shes using toning cream and so has d oba himself.... |

babyosisi: Well it's a surprise the Alaafin and ooni never eliminate themselves You were born in 1964, so that would make you 50 years old. How can a 50 year old granma behave like this? Are you not ashamed? This is not normal maybe you should get checked for bi polar disorder or mental illness. Even kids 1/4 your age do not act like this. You need to grow the fk up. The saying is true: a fool at 40 (in your case 50) is a fool forever. Your life must really suck to be such a bitter, miserable old hag every damn day at your age. Is this what you taught your kids? What a disgrace you are. Smdh so pathetic. 8 Likes |

hercules07: The Ooni had been superior even before 1300AD that Oranmiyan established the Alaafin dynasty I don't why you people have lost ur senses like this. Where did Alaafin get his crown? From Ooni Where does Alaafin trace his origins? From Ooni(or better Olofin, as it was then) Why was Oranmiyan so determined to return to ife despite having Benin and Oyo?? Ife throne is superior 1 Like |

cbrass: Did the Ooni even fight any wars except the Ife-modakeke clash Yes, Ife took part in Owu's defeat at Orile-Owu But then when has war become a factor for superiority in Yorubaland? what happened to age and origin?? Didn't Egba defeat oyo? Didn't Dahomey defeat Oyo? Didn't Ilorin defeat Oyo? When last did Oyo fight a battle? Talk less of the last time they won one Abi Your people have forgotten what Lisabi did to you?

macof: I don't remember telling you am Oyo, however Ooni and his Ife has always been a seating duck, even the war you mentioned wasn't a popular war, mind you those towns that broke out of Oyo only fought for independence and formed a soverign state of which Ijesaland broke out too with the help of Ogedengbe "agbogungboro" then was the prestigious and historical ekitiparapo war that finally put a stop and end to the persistence attacks from Ibadan. Even the Egbas fought, almost all this great Towns fought for liberation purposes but that can't be said of Ife 1 Like |

tonytony208:All beaded crown obas got there Crowns from the Ooni of Ife. That's why royalty all over Yoruba land trace their origin to one Ife prince or the other. You can see all the Oyo guys jumping up and down trying to stay relevant when their king is even ruling over a dynasty that died circa 300-400 years ago. In fact, where they currently are was a dash to them out of pity. One even claimed Yoruba's were from Oyo. confused lots. |

One even said awolowo and AG made Ooni stronger.... He had the effrontery to lie on a dead man whom the Yoruba's revere. He probably believed awo was at this meeting in 1903. According to the Royal list of 1931, Alaaye of Efon was listed as number 16 among all the Obas in Yorubaland. Extracts from the Nigerian Government Gazette of 28th February, 1903 relating to the special meeting of Central Native council which was presided over by the Colonial Governor, Sir William MacGregor, the Ooni listed Alaaye of Efon as number eleven among leading Yoruba Obas to whom crowns have been given by the Ooni of Ife, ( and number four with regard to Ondo State). With its unique historical facts and background, Efon Alaaye had been a Sovereign Yoruba kingdom as far back as 1200 A. D.; and it is blessed with rich traditional and cultural heritage. |

Initially the Alaafin of Oyo originally had no crown. This should not be surprising as one is aware of the account recorded by the Reverend Samuel Johnson(an Oyo man) in his book The History of the Yorubas (C.M.S. Lagos, 1922) to the effect that the first Alaafin was badly treated and that his heritage from Oduduwa’s estate was very pitiable. When Oyo was established, therefore, even though the Alaafin had legal rights, being a DIRECT descendant of Oduduwa, he had no crown of his own. It was in fact one of the crowns of the Olufon-Orolu that was given to the Alaafin out of pity. The common saying in the Oyo area which recalls this incident graphically, is worth repeating here: Lade Lade Lade Alaafin o lade Ninu Ade Olufon Orolu L’agba fun Alaafin (On the issue of having a crown The Alaafin had no crown It was from the crowns of Olufon Orolu That we took (one) for the Alaafin... |

No Alafin has ever challenged the supremacy of the Ooni except the present Alafin who has been trying unsuccessfully to rewrite Yoruba history by placing himself above his father and other older siblings. ORANMIYAN, THE FOUNDER OF OYO, IN ACKNOWLEDGING THE SACROSANCTITY OF ILE –IFE AND SUPREMACY OF THE OONI OF IFE OVER OTHER YORUBA OBAS, LATER RETURNED TO, BECAME THE 6TH OONI OF, DIED IN AND WAS ENSHRINED IN ILE- IFE. IF ALAFIN IS SUPERIOR, ORANMIYAN WOULD NOT HAVE ABDICATED THE THRONE AS THE 1ST ALAFIN AND RETURNED HOME TO BECOME THE 6TH OONI IN ILE-IFE AND PREFERRED TO DIE AND BE ENSHRINED IN ILE IFE. Ile–Ife is regarded therefore as the metropolis of old Yoruba. It is suggested by various scholars including Johnson (1921); Lucas (1948); and Ajayi and Crowther (1972) that Ile-Ife is fabled as the spot where God created man, white and black and from whence they dispersed all over the earth. Fabunmi (1969) further argued that Ile Ife is further regarded and believed to be the cradle of the world. The history of Ile Ife though unwritten is based on oral traditions and referred to as the original home of all things, the place where the day dawns; the holy city, the home of divinities and mysterious spirits (Okelola, 2001). It is however believed that the tradition of the world and of the origin of the peoples and their state centers on Ile Ife, the source whence all the major rulers of the then southern Nigeria derive the sanctions of their kingship where gods, shrines and festivals forms the center of religion (Smith 1988). I think we should STOP dissipating efforts on what is not only natural but trying to alter impossibility. DISPUTING THE SUPERIORITY OF OONI OF IFE OVER ALL YORUBA OBAS INCLUDING ALAFIN OF OYO IS LIKE DISPUTING THAT THE SKY IS ABOVE OUR HEADS ! CHALLENGING EITHER THE SUPREMACY OF ILE-IFE OR THAT OF THE OONI OF IFE BY ANY YORUBA DOES NOT ONLY MAKE MOCKERY OF OUR GOLDEN HERITAGE OR INSULT OUR EMULABLE CULTURE AND TRADITION BUT ALSO AMOUNTS TO AN UNPARDONABLE SACRILEGE WHICH MAY NOT BE FORGIVEN BY ODUDUWA AND ORANMIYAN HIMSELF.
