It was documented that all Yoruba kings including the Alaafin of Oyo vacated their respective thrones as a mark of respect for the Ooni. They went to hide outside their royal palaces.

Caseless:


Oba of Lagos , can you see your life? Modern oba that doesn't have respect for the charismatic ooni ; he curved ooni by refusing to shake his hand. Thank God odudua sent fire to part of his palace for disrespecting ooni.

samuk:


Unlike other Yoruba Obas, the Oba of Lagos does not recognise the authority of the Ooni as his superior because the Oba of Lagos recognises the Oba of Benin as his father. The article said the other lesser Yoruba Oba including the Alafin of Oyo vacated their palaces because two Obas cannot be in the same town at the same time, but the article never said the Oba of Lagos vacated his palace. No descendant of the Oba of Benin sees any other Oba as his superior other than the Oba of Benin.

You like talking about what you don't know. The same ọba of benin is a son of the Ọọ̀ni

And there is no such thing as lesser ọba. Everyone is supreme in his domain, Ọọ̀ni cannot go to Ikole Ekiti and tell the Oba there what to do
Ìfẹ̀ gave independence to all its princes that went out to found their own dynasties.. But these princes have their own ways of showing respect to the stool of their father

Oba of Lagos had an engagement with colonialists and could not attend. He sent representatives and colonial officers at the meeting delivered his message to the Ooni. Kings in Lagos were present - Ikorodu, Badagry, Epe & Awori kings.

Oba of Bini’s superior is/was the Ognene n’uhe [Ooni of Ife].

Cheers.

dream on. Your ooni never had any relevancy until the British tried to prop him up as their puppet. Up till now the Oba of Lagos, the Olu of Warri and every Edo noble have humiliated your Ooni in order to send the message that their King is Omo n'Oba n'Edo, not the freeken Ooni of yeye. While the Oba was busy fighting the British, your Ooni was busy kissing British ass while dancing like a mad man because he realised that he would be protected by te brits.

0balufonlll:


The only king the british propped up was the Alaafin who had a very good relationship with Captain Ross.

Testimonies of Ooni’s place in Yorubaland/Yoruba thrones before & during the colonial records abound. So you may want to slow down.

What in hell are you talking about? Your Ooni had a little Mudd shrine for palace, it is the colonial office which built him a proper house. The Alafin at least used to have a palace and an army, your Ooni was a nobody when the bruits arrived. He became their puppet rather than their opponent. The Alafin became their protégé as well.

rabzy:
Please how did the route of Oni to Lagos pass through the Alaafin's domain? Pls i need some enlightenment.

0balufonlll:


Mud shrine for palace? Colonialists built him a palace? Ooni a nobody?

It is OK.

Cheers.
