The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi, in this interview by TUNDE BUSARI speaks on the unity of Yoruba people, why they are always in songs, and also on the subject of death in Yoruba world view.

There is a strong tie between Oyo and Ibadan, especially the appointment of a Bashorun outside Oyo from Ibadan. How would you react to this?

The fact which no one has come forward to controvert is Oyo’s role in the history of Yorubaland as a nation. What I am emphasisng is that Oyo’s tie is not restricted to Ibadan or another town alone. It is total. The record is there for anyone to crosscheck. Yes, you are right that Basorun Oluyole was the first Basorun to have lived outside Oyo metropolis by the permission of the Alaafin Atiba. Basorun Oluyole was stationed in Ibadan and assigned primarily to be in charge of the North and North-eastern part of Yorubaland.
That geographical area comprised what is Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States today. The Alaafin assigned the Aare Ona Kakanfo, Kurunmi to be in charge of the Western part of Yorubaland including Ijana, Ijaye, Iberekodo, Meko, Aibo. The Alaafin gave him a strict directive to not interfere in administrative affairs of the Egbas. That was telling you the authority of the Alaafin.

However, I must say it that morale of the Yoruba people to the Central authority of the Alaafin was affected as a result of the loss of Ilorin through the rebellious act of Afonja who was the Aare Ona Kakanfo and the subsequent betrayal of Afonja by his Fulani guests and mentors.
The inference here is that the Yorubas are dynamic and very sophisticated group of people.

Who cares

.

When you hear Edo people Are not Like Tinubu controlled Lagos, its because Our yoruba people in lagos especially are betrayers by blood, they dont care for majority advantage of yoruba people, thats why they betrayed the collective interest of the south by ushering in Buhari administration thereby burning crucial existing fences with the South East and South South, now that Buhari administration is showing them sign of rejection They will be looking for how to mend fences with SE and SS.....While Edo people stand still behind Obaseki and reject godfatherism, their cooperation Stir a heroic defeat and sacking of oshiomole the large than life man was reduced and cut to size

Yoruba ronu, meaning Yoruba think...though i am from Ondo state, i am happy to be part of the Edo is not Lagos Movement Despite rage of attacks from the paid online rats from Tinubu ....they were shamed..

Betrayal is in their blood

I must say it that morale of the Yoruba people to the Central authority of the Alaafin was affected as a result of the loss of Ilorin through the rebellious act of Afonja who was the Aare Ona Kakanfo and the subsequent betrayal of Afonja by his Fulani guests and mentors.

This is what happens when you willing choose to sell yourself to a perinnal slave-slavemaster bondage as the later is never trust worthy no matter the farcade.

Meanwhile, the region is yet to learn from the disgraceful ending of the Afonja case.The Lagos man should take note.Iku baba yèye o has spoken.Ki Ade pr lorí, ki bata pèlesé.

Why are yoruba's afraid of the Fulani's?
they have made several attempt to recapture kwara but failed.
only odua republic will give them kwara.
if not for betrayal, Fulani's couldn't have taken Ilorin cos Yoruba's are stronger than them,reason I keep wondering why they are afraid of the Fulani's who are not warriors and hell bent on staying in Nigeria where Fulani's are trying to conquer Lagos,an emir is already in Lagos settling land dispute among northerners,imagine the next 20years..

Ehhhhhhennn so it was/ is true





Aboookii betrayed Afonja who betrayed Alaafin ..



No wonder.

Edo can NEVER be Lagos!

Lagos is a working state with prestige and good governance since 1999. Tinubu was able to set a template that made Lagos successful and his leadership gave lagos performing successive government that transformed the city into one of the best in Africa.

I've never seen Edo in good news for a while about the stride of the governor (Obaseki) and it is an insult to compare Edo to Lagos in all ramification.

Edo CAN never be Lagos. Coz Lagos is not in Edo league!

Yelobams love be betraying themselves. Same way Abiola betrayed Awolowo. What a tribe.

Just like Ojuku of unblessed memory betrayed 3million deceased by campaigning for a hegemony that caused their misfortune few decades back.

The highest betrayal is licking the ass of the people that slaughtered millions of your people.

Here is Ojuku campaigning openly for Shagari in 1983 like a true slave!

Igbo land is now a cattle colony.

Fulani is taking over the small muddy land already and even the coward Kanu is afraid and he’s shouting on top of his voice that Igbo land is now tagged A CATTLE COLONY.

Now let me educate you

Lagos can be regarded as Big for Nothing.


Agberos earn far better than Educated ones...

No enabling environment in Lagos Again since Tinubu Seize power...Everything there is overtaxed...every small scale business have been rendered unproductive.

what is the usefulness of economy of a state where it benefits few cliques.

Greedy Land grabbers has rendered Lagos useless to motorists as they sandfill Drainages and sell, thereby pushing the water paths to the road causing heavy flooding., Edo township is far peaceful than Lagos not the noisy Cracked voices you hear in Lagos

fInaly Lagos is a burden to itself madness everywhere traffic holdup kills productive hours stress everywhere. Abuse of horn and if you drive car you will be subjected to daily tormenting from traffic and unnecesary logjam

Edo better by far than Lagos

Which Lagos is working? is it working for commoners, graduates? Below is gafaru street in Ikotun ......Eko o ni baje is what those living here will be singing when they cant even comprehend the damage around them

You must be a Yoruba man. The North did not cause the misfortune of Ndigbo because Biafra would have defeated North one on one. It is fools like SW that aligned with the North that won the war. Yoruba won the war for Northern Nigeria. Ojukwu that campaigned for Shagari was different from the Ojukwu that fought for Ndigbo as Military Governor of Eastern Region. The former was a private citizen while the latter was a public officer with power and authority.
