In the pre-colonial Yoruba political system, the position of the Aare Ona Kakanfo was the Commander-In-Chief of the military. If he presented a calabash with parrot egg to the king, Alaafin of Oyo, the king would be forced to commit suicide. Then, there was OYO MESI, the legislature was there. Such was the separation of responsibilities that it mirrored the British parliamentary design that it riled the colonial masters that their Indirect Rule failed in the South. It so offended them that when they were leaving, the asked the North to seize the military, to have a strangle hold on it.
So, these white people are the original problems of Africa before we continued pulverizing the evidence of our civilization. What we're witnessing now is just a reminder of our pristine democratic values. Democracy is innate in every culture.

For ur info, the Yoruba never occupied Benin it was the other way round. Go and read up on ur history.

Do you know that it is on record that in ancient times Benin actually paid tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo?
The Ogamien family of Benin,the Ijaws and Itsekiris can help you cut through the propaganda and confirm it for you.

So much wrong with this
You mean pre colonial OYO political system.
Of course you could be right since YORUBA once meant Oyo or Araoke.

The issue of presenting a calabash is inaccurate.
That is not a function of the Aare. That statement shows fundamental misunderstanding of Yoruba politics. The Aare is not a traditional title but one at the pleasure of the Alaafin.It is not like the traditional titles which are inherited in different families and who are kingmaker families with the power to remove.
E.g Abiola and Adams are not from Oyo. Can the Alaafin install an Egba as Balogun or Ashipa etc.
I am sorry this are the nuances that reveal those who know Yoruba traditional politics.

@Omonnakoda, you're as contradictory as you're as confusing. You're hastiness to judge what I posted, without looking or reading closely, has occasioned this. In one breath, you said I was wrong, yet in another, you said I was right.
I never said he was part of the executive. I said he acted as the C-I-C.
Please, always read through before you jump blindly into hasty and hideous conclusions.

When you go to church you also see fetish - eating the flesh of Jesus and drinking his blood symbolically. I wonder - do you complain about this?

What about those who go to Mecca and symbolically stone the devil in their thousands - do you complain about this too?

Permit me to educate you.
Oyo NEVER SUCCEEDED in subduing all of Yorubaland.
Certaiinly to the East in Ondo the Benin influence was greater
Let me educate you, the first ruler of Ondo kingdom is the daughter of Alaafin Ajaka, and Oba Eweka of Benin is the son of Alaafin Oranmiyan, both Benin and Ondo had a pact with Oyo, every Alaafin viewed the rulers of Ondo and Benin as an integral part of the Oduduwa royal clan

Bini influence in the east of Yoruba land is heavily exaggerated, don’t be fooled and don’t spread ignorance. Owo was literally in Bini’s plate to be ate but Bini could not subdue it not to mention distant places of Ondo and Ekiti on the east of Yoruba.

The reasons for their little influence in Ondo/Ekiti were that Bini was too faraway and could not sustain a military outpost and a steady supply of military from home base. Hence, Bini invasions were largely spaced intervally and this period of restive between invasions saw soldiers of prior invasions settling in not as soldiers/conquerors but as commoners living side by side with the Yoruba.

See the attached pictures. Bini revisionism in recent years have been nothing but lies. Bini was a kingdom whose military exploits were largely local within the Edo region and this is why their spheres of influence are sporadic small pockets of areas scattered around with no proper cohesion.

It is the Bashorun that can present a calabash with parrot egg to the king not the aare on a kankanfo

Aare ona kankanfo is the general warlord of the Oyo empire. It is the Alaafin that choose the person and such fellow mustn't be from Oyo or be related to royalty.v

Not at all bro, just that some of these things can be very murky and we can't see with our eyes. Just like there are some time in Lagos city where people are warned against meeting their death if they go out in the evening/night because some fetish masquerade thing called òró

No - I do not think its culture. As long as its purpose is to promote the well being of the community, I am okay with it. The moment it becomes a stumbling block to progress then it is either modified or eliminated. At the moment, I believe it serves a uniting purpose for the Yorubas in this current Nigerian environment.
