Which part of island, because the Oba of elegushi, eleko of Eko ( infact i heard eleko is the authentic and first king in Lagos island according to history). Oniru of Iru etc.. These are all kings on island, so where does the Oba of Eko kingdom covers in this island.

I know my own King Olubadan isnt among the foremost monarchs. Its still Alafin and Oni that would slog it out for the number 1 yoruba Royal throne and only the Historian can settle the competition.. because bi omode ko ba ba itan,yoo ba aroba,aroba si niyi baba itan

Alafi is the most powerful Oba in Youruba land

A direct descendant of Orominyan


Oranmiyan at a point in his life abandoned the Oyo throne and returned to Ile-Ife to occupy the Ooni throne. All Ooni of Ife are direct descendants of Oduduwa including Oranmiyan.

I know most of you want to sound as if you know something..... Emir is a title for an Islamic leader not precise to any part of our Nation so he's not a Fulani but Yoruba king check his name.
