Oluwo of Iwoland in Osun state, Oba Adbulrasheed Akanbi has declared his resolve to adopt the Emir title popularly known with Northern traditional rulers.
Speaking at the installation and turbarning ceremony of an Islamic scholar, Sheikh Yahquub Abdul-Baaqi Mohammed as first Waziri of Yoruba land on Saturday, Oba Akanbi said he decided to now bear “Emir of Iwoland” because he wants to emulate the attitudes of northern Emirs.

According to Oluwo, Northern traditional rulers are better behaved than his counterparts from the Southwest saying Yoruba Obas are full of bickering, acrimony and enmities.

He said Yoruba traditional rulers lacks cooperation and expected royal characters saying the Yoruba Obas have been polarized owing to enmities.

Oba Akanbi said until Yoruba Obas come together, shun enmities and backbiting, Hausas would continue to rule Nigeria.

“I have decided to officially adopt Emir title today because I want to emulate the attitudes of Northern Emirs. They don’t begrudge themselves like Yoruba Obas.

” It will surprise you to discover that for the past two years, there has not been meeting of Yoruba traditional rulers just because of enmities. There is nothing strange in adopting Emir title. I am the Emir of Yorubaland,” Oluwo said.
After this declaration by the monarch, indigenes and guests at the ceremony hailed Oba Akanbi.

He is a disgrace to his people, subtly selling them off to the North.
This is exactly how Ilorin became part of the Northern Caliphate.

When a rogue becomes a king, this is the result.

Will you neglect your family because of the discord among you and embrace someone else's family?
If an Oba can open his mouth to say this, then what do you expect his followers to do.



May God deliver the south west from the shackles of APC and miscreants parading themselves as Obas.

Inferiority complex is the problem here.

Long live Emir Of Iwo.

When I call them slaves to their Fulani masters they want to kill themselves but this is an example.

Idiotic Cows of ewedu republic and inferiority complex.

Yoruba Muslims are the problem with Yorubas.
Nobody should say or tell me otherwise.

I am just here imagining how progressive, forward thinking and trail blazing the Yorubas would have been if they were 100% christian, if they can achieve what they have right now with just 50%.

Check out the list of top 100 Yoruba intellectuals you will see that Yoruba muslims are gross underperformers.
Islam always a negative to development.

I just thank God for my own people.

Argue with your shadow.

Orisirisi

Any Muslim king is and can be emir their is not.

All Northern emirs are Muslims hence they are so united , also the least hausa we do is mock our past history that's for fun ... Christians oba will never have peace with you... Emir you made a good moves.


Anyway, we hardly call our Sarakuna emirs You can still chose to calls him oba, is not like he ban the name
