calm done Jor. is ur king greater than God ?..

Great history!
I love this Ooni. May he reign long!

The officials need to bring some order around him and make his official outing more stately. Eachtime he is out every jack, dick and harry wants to stand close for picture. One man is even leaning on his chair breathing down his back. Wtf! Another is upset and making faces for being corrected. In another picture, what could have turned out to be a perfectly timed and momentous picture for its symmetry on the Ooni's face is ruined by the man behind him. C'mon guys!

Chimere,
History instructor...lmao.
Eweka was not 1st King of Bini. Eweka was first Oba, the first coronated Yoruba ruler over the new dynasty called Bini. The name of the land has never changed, it is Edoland. Edo people own their land but the seat of power belong to Yoruba. There were Kings before Eweka, in the Edo culture and were called Ogiso.

This was after the church service and jumat at the mosque.

Let them radiocarbon date that sword to find out if it is really oranmiyan sword.

Oromiyan was not the first son of Oduduwa. Okanbi was the first and the only son of Oduduwa. Oromiyan was one of the sons of Okanbi, meaning; Oromiyan was the grandson of Oduduwa. pls get ur facts right!

That is a "symbolic" sword, and not the real Oranmiyan's sword.
See pic below: Ooni Aderemi holding a smaller version of the sword.

it's not possible, it has always been like that during traditional events in ife. The Ooni's are always surrounded by emeses and other traditionalist. It's even worse on Olojo day-The day set aside for the Ooni to perform some rituals at Ogun shrine and renew his oath of office as the Ooni of Ife.
See pic below of the two previous Ooni being surrounded by People.

you find this in obsolete books
recent and better researched works on yoruba history don't regard any Okanbi as the only son of Oduduwa. It's believed that oduduwa had nothing less than 16 sons... With Oranmiyan being either the last son or son of his first son, Ogun

Thanks for sharing, I did not know that. It makes sense now why he is sorrounded by so many people.

Saxywale, You seem to have a lot of inside info about Ile-Ife royals. I will assume you are one.

I'm curious. Is it a fact that when Ife people speak their true Yoruba dialect, it is impossible for other Yorubas (Omo Eko Lagosians) to understand?

This a valid question IMO. Most of our artifacts are somewhere in Europe whereas we the owners of those gems make do we replicas,/ fakes.
Look at those two pics. Of the sword it is credible to say the ooni is holding another replica.

Yes.
Akui+Lafogido.
The ife dialect is very very easy to understand. We don't have any other dialect apart from the one spoken all around Ife which is the true dialect. It is similar to standard yoruba taught in schools. When I was younger, I have heard senior ife citizens born in the 19th century speak the ife dialect, and it's same as that spoken till date.

2nd time that I am seeing a True King that knows God.

May God give him wisdom to rule.
