Know your History well....Oluikere ruled as a chief not a King. Ogaga came to Ikere and rescued them from war and they all agreed to crown him as the first King in Ikere

A ruler is a ruler. It doesn't have to be a a crown. All is just ancient politics.

You don't know jack about Yoruba traditions.

We have different kind of rulers in Yoruba land like Baale, Aare ona kankanfo, Balogun, Mogaji etc....None of them is greater than an Oba (King)

seunmsg:
Ogoga will definitely be heading to court to challenge this decision.

Congratulations to Olukere anyway, he played his politics right in the last governorship election and this is his reward.

Are you actually from Ikere or Ekiti state? It seem you know much about that town and their politics to be honest.

Lies you were told by Parents.

Now learn from your history below:

How did Olukere emerge as a chief priest?

Ikere’s existence is traced to the 11th century. In those days people migrated to different places for settlement. The Olukere was the son of Obalorin in Ile-Ife. He was not a prince because his father was not a king. He could not have inherited a stool when his father was not a king. He settled in Olowu’s compound in Ikere. That connotes that he met people in Ikere. He moved from there to Odopetu compound. His third abode is Odo-Ise where he resides now. There was another man, an Ifa priest, who came to Ikere. He was very useful to the people, assisting them during wars. But at a point, the people felt he was too powerful. The people conspired against him and dug a hole and tried to push him into the hole. But he ran to a hill. The people gathered palm fronds and set fire to the hill for seven days. After this, water started coming out of the hill and this led to epidemics in the town. As a result of this, the people consulted the oracle, which advised that the Olukere should appease him. That was how he got his title as a chief priest – to be appeasing Olosunta.

Why do we like to tell lies in order to get public acceptance, hijacked as how? Olukere recognised immediately , Ogoga came into Ikere that he was a Prince because of the paraphernalia of royalty he came with. He therefor accorded him one
Besides, Olukere was not the first person to settle in Ikere, Aladeselu was there before him, he was the one who accommodated Olukere. Olukere was from a non royal quarter in Ife, kingship is not about who settles first, as seen in most Yoruba towns today. Ife, Akure, Ado, etc.

Let's not mislead the public so as to make our point. I'm from Ikere Ekiti.

There had been a peaceful coexistence between the Olukeres and Ogoga before agitations of who settled first began to spring up in Ikere.

Now that Olukere has been recognised as the oba of Odo Oja, He should stop addressing himself as Olukere of Ikere. Get the proclamation right.

Before you quote me again,where are you from,or are you afraid to mention your village?

well the entire town

As a native of Ikere Ekiti though born in Lagos so you're free to attack me,my parents told me there are two kings in Ikere Ekiti,the two only meet once in a year,Olukere is a ceremonial king who perform traditional rites and Ogaga is the official king of Ikere who is recognized by the govt.This is what I know,and this is what I believed for several years.
