What's the one saying

Truly, Aare ona kankanfo and Alaafin cannot stay in the same place.

The following are the list of the past Fourteen Aare Ona Kakanfo (from archive) that had been:

1. Kokoro igangan of Iwoye-Ketu,

2. Oyatope of Iwoye,

3. Oyabi of Ajase,

4. Adeta of Jabata,

5. Oku of Jabata,

6. Afonja l’aiya l’oko of ilorin,

7. Toyeje of Ogbomoso,

8. Edun of Gbogan,

9. Amepo of Abemo,

10. Kurumi of Ijaye,

11. Ojo Aburumaku of Ogbomoso (son of Toyeje)

12. Latoosa of Ibadan

13. Ladoke Akintola of Ogbomosho (the premier of western region during the first republic.

14. MKO Abiola of Abeokuta.

15. Gani Adams of Arigidi-Akoko.

The real Aare ona kankanfo ended with Aare Latosa of ibadan

Gani Adams will never want to accept this. History has made it clear that the Aares after Latoosa were more of political appointment by Alaafin.

He loves the title so much and as such want to feel so important.

Alaye n seke.

I don't know what OP is talking about.

That was how they said whatever a man can do, a woman can do better. I told one girl in my street yesterday to use her pee to write 24 on the ground.
Come see gobe

Why Areonakakafo did use his soldiers to defeat white people why did his soldiers not transform them selves to bees and killed all the white people that took them as slaves to Brazil tales by moonlight story

Africans sold the slaves themselves

the white people never raided for slaves,they only waited at the ocean front to buy

read History!

Who cares

Yoruba people name can sound funny at times... please what's the meaning of JAPATA?

Names from a strange ethnic group will always sound strange to someone who is not from.that ethnic group.

Have you heard names of tribes from Ghana, Togo or elsewhere before? Do they sound familiar or funny to you?

Let's be using our brains before the brains rot.

native intelligence

Aare Onakakanfo of modern day or the one I read in history as a student.

Obaxxx:

It means Jabgarata........it's an agbero name, popular in most motor parks across the country.

The real Aare ona kankanfo ended with Aare Latosa of ibadan

So the remaining three after the latoosa of Ibadan na just ceremonial title holders

You said Yoruba names can be funny as if names from other tribes different from yours do not also sound funny.

You are the senseless idiot here.

Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland has given insight into why the holder of the Yoruba generalissimo title and the Alaafin of Oyo cannot stay together in the same territory.

Speaking in an interview with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Aare Adams who went down memory lane said also said that in the olden days, the Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight with guns and doesn’t just fight any wars. He only goes to the waterfront to give spiritual backing to his soldiers and give instructions after the war is over.

According to him, if the Aare Ona Kakanfo is forced to go to any village, he is usually accompanied by over 1,700 brave soldiers which signalled trouble for any community he went to.

He said “Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight war alone. In the history of Yorubaland, no Aare Ona Kakanfo succeeds without incorporating the powerful people in different zones. Even in the history of Aare Ona Kakanfo, in the war strategy, Yorubaland was split into four different angles called Ekun Merin. It was zoned as Igboona/Kwara axis is one; Oyo/Osun two; Ogun/Lagos three; Ondo/Ekiti four. This was zoned in the olden days, which shows you that our forefathers have native intelligence, not to talk about the creation of states now”.

“When we were going to the confab, the South-West was shared into three: Lagos and Ogun; Osun and Oyo and Ekiti and Ondo. However, in the olden days, they were four because Kogi and Kwara were included. So, Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight war anyhow. He only goes to the waterfront to the commission after the war has ended. He gives spiritual backing, instructions and coordination. Unless if that war is a very strong one beyond his boys, then he will now go to the waterfront with his staff of office”.

“Aare Ona Kakanfo doesn’t fight wars with guns. When Aare Ona Kakanfo wants to move out, he has 800 soldiers in the front and another 800 behind him, with giving at both sides. Aare will be at the back with the horse. These are not ordinary soldiers, but brave men who can transform into anything. That was why they said ‘Aare n pe e, o lo ndi’fa. Ti ifa ti e ba fore nko, sugbon ti Aare o ba fore, e woo loo se’.

“When Aare Ona Kakanfo is coming to a coming to a village or community with almost 1,700 soldiers, already the king of that village knows that there is a problem”.

“That is why Aare Ona Kakanfo cannot live in Oyo with Alaafin. That can never happen. The Japata people in Oyo said they wanted to become Aare Ona Kakanfo. Alaafin said if I made you Aare, you cannot live here again’. Alaafin now gave them a village behind Ogbomosho to settle down”.

“ That was why two Aare Ona Kakanfo came from Japata. Even before I became Aare, I have been doing my job, fighting for Yorubaland in my own level . The Aare Ona Kakanfo title only gave me the position to complement my efforts”.

Nonsense...

I won't throw tantrums with one mumu goat who's typing from under his brown roof apartment . Carry your frustrations go meet Tinubu for U.K. At least he's the one holding and hoarding your destiny

Coldshisha:



Hope he knows how Afonja, Ladoke Akintola and MKO Abiola ended

Let him tow the path of IBA Oluyole, IBA Latosa and other Aare that understood the power behind the office

Afonja was using Islamic Torah and forming Muslim, Ladoke was a Christian devotee, MKO Abiola a Muslim, they forgot they needed real dark magic

.

The real dark magic carries an heavy price they Wia not willing to pay. You think it’s easy to dine with d devil. What’s the essence of going dark when you’ll later hurt your loved ones and the people you’re trying to protect

nairavsdollars:
Akintola...he died a hero

You should be whipped.

Akintola died a traitor. Traitors die miserable and painful deaths e.g. Afonja, Judas Iscariot or Judas isMango.

13. Ladoke Akintola of Ogbomosho (the premier of western region during the first republic.

14. MKO Abiola of Abeokuta.

15. Gani Adams of Arigidi-Akoko.

The real Aare ona kankanfo ended with Aare Latosa of ibadan

So are you saying the others are political appointees??

It's an age long tradition

Obaxxx:

Lolz. You should carry your frustration to Azikiwe, who insisted that Nigeria must be united even when Awolowo suggested the inclusion of secession clause in the Nigeria constitution.

Don't forget to also cry to Ojukwu, who left your grand parents to die in the trenches, while he ran away to Ivory Coast.

You Igbos should shut your mouth up when people talk about Nigeria. You guys are shortsighted fools.

Ykc2:
they came with guns what can we use to fight them?

most slaves were sold for guns
besides Africans already had guns

and we didn't really need guns
Zulu taught the Europeans lessons without guns


you know next to nothing

Aare of those days, not your type

Corporate2020:
This tout thinks we are interested. Aare Ona Kakanfo that is watching while Fulani herdsmen are killing his brothers, raping his mothers and sisters, is that one Aare or street tout?

Don't mind the idiot.

Absolute one for that matter. Some Aare even partook in the slave trade business

nairavsdollars:

basically everyone participated
from the soldiers that ransaked other tribes villages to the rich elite that sold them to the Europeans

the slave trade was inevitable
Africa has too many ethic groups
3000+
we were always fighting so slaves came out of wars

The title was much needed in the olden days and not in the present life we live now. My opinion though going by his explanation

Corporate2020:

SO YOU ARE A MALLAM

Hmmm

[s]Story for the gods that are high in spirits. [/s]

This man is Aare ona kakanfo of Oyo town. Only Ooni can give a title that will be recognised throughout yoruba land. And to the mods that always ban me for expressing my views, I have plenty moniker on nairaland
