I understand in the Present day world ,A President of a Country is Chosen in a Democratic dispensation through Voting .

Governors ,Council Chairmen or Chairpersons are chosen through same Process ...( Ballot Papers ) Majority Wins the Vote..

However before today there was Yesterday , History whether we like it or not are the reality of yesterday that unquestionably gave birth to today Realities ... Yesterday history are already a Reference ...its only an Hypocrite that would want to Distant or sweep the Realities of the Past under the Carpet to Achieve a selfish Present .

President,Senators, Governors,Local Government Chairmen are not Traditional Rulers , Absolutely No ... Traditional Rulers are Rulers Chosen Traditionally .With a Specific emphasis on Yoruba Land " An Oba is the Head of a Community,Town ....

Chosen an OBA in Yoruba Land ...

How is a king chosen in Yorubaland?

Traditionally, kingmakers from within the family choose the Ooni of Ife from descendents of the Yoruba god Oduduwa in consultation with their oracle, known as Ifa. Mr Ogunwusi will be one of the youngest traditional rulers in Nigeria, .26 Oct 2015...

In Yoruba Land a Traditional King is Chosen after Consultations must have been made by an IFFA Priest who choses the person to be crowned a King ..

In other words ,Names from Ruling House could be Provided and an IFFA Priest consults IFFA to finds out who becomes the Next King .

Little Wonder ,You will be Surprised that even IFFA might choose a Complete Stranger to become a king in a Town ..

Then The choice of making someone a King is never done by any Human , Conspiracy , Hypocrisy ,Ote ,Abosi etc .IFFA is the one that Choses .

Arguements,Rivalry , Querellings,Discord, Fighting,Hire Assassin's,Murder,Threats to Life Characterises today's Choice of an Oba in Yorubaland which shouldn't be so.

Quite Unfortunate that all the above mentioned have become the Norms of Activities that preceeds the Chosen of an Oba.


In our Generation today...Things have been Changed by our Greediness, Sentiments, Hypocrisy, Corrupted Mindsets ( OTE ,ABOSI etc ) Yorubas don't Consult with Iffa Oracle Anymore ,Once You are Wealthy ,Well Connected , Educated , Probably well Travelled Overseas ,Loved by some People ..Next thing is for People to form a Formidable Caucus in order to force such person as a King on a Town / Community ...

So sad ,So Strange that The Traditional Protocols our forefathers followed in Chosen Someone as a King have been Abandoned by our Present Generation .

This definitely is having a Deep Negative Impact and effects on our Society / Community/ Town .

Traditional Rulers are chosen by Governors / People in Government today ,(The ousting of Emir of Kano) as a Case Study Full Fledged Politics have taken over our Normal Traditional Norms

Many lives have been lost ,Bothers and Sisters have turned against themselves ,A once a Peaceful Town or Community were turned to a War Zone just because a Peaceful Traditional way of Chosen an " OBA " in Yoruba Land have been Jettisoned..

To all Yoruba Communities all over the World ...IFFA ORACLE does not tells Lies , it's not an hypocrite ...IFFA Oracle Chooses the Right Person to become an Oba ...When IFFA Chooses,There won't be Unnecessary Catastrophe,Death,Pandemonium,Kiosk etc...

God Blesses Yoruba Land ...Isese Agbe waooo...

Case study ...Muniru Odejide and Lateef Akanni Two Same Royal Blood Brothers Case in Ado-Odo Ota ...in 2010 ....In this Case Study Iffa Oracle should have been the Final say ....Be it Christian or Muslim ...It's a Traditional affairs. Not to be determined by either Religion.
