Rest on King. Alaafin was a hugely respected monarch in the Southwest and lived his life to the fullest. He belongs to the rarefied selection of kings all over the world who ruled for decades in great health, pomp and pageantry.. He's also an erudite Yorùbá historian and folklorist. An ardent follower of Sango and a committed Muslim. His emergence as Alaafin wasn't smooth sailing as he had running power struggle with one of his chiefs called Ashipa within his kingdom.

In rulership hierarchy in Nigeria, he's on the same pedestal as the Oòni of Ìfẹ, the Sultan of Sokoto and the Obi of Onitsha.. He will be thoroughly missed by his people and across the federation coz he was an era.

Pray bro, how can one be an ardent Sango (deity of thunder) follower and still be a devoted Muslim? Just wondering.

This is oxymoron. He couldn't be a devout Muslim and ardent follower of sango at the same time.

This king should have been buried with a multi millions naira coffins,not with this deckens planks.

For your information. Our forefathers have been practising Muslims before the Fulani jihad. Islam has been striving in Yoruba land before Christianity

For my education, what’s the difference between Alaafin of Oyo and Olubadan?

Going by history, Alaafin of Oyo is not just an ordinary king but one of the sons of Oduduwa while Olubadan is upgraded baale(Chief) to king.Which means Alaafin is more superior and was chosen by the oracle unlike the Olubadan that was choosed by the people/government. This is why only few kings have the traditional beaded crown in Yorubaland ,Issues like this as led to power tussle between Ooni and Alaafin in the past because they both have a traditional beaded crown...Meanwhile the Olubadan beaded crown was confered and can be taken at anytime

BoBiafra:


It means; The Yorubas are conquered people; in return they including there monarchy;worships there masters gods.

"This is because we gave them Islam through the great Jihad waged by Sheik Uthman Dan Fodio. We also captured Ilorin, killed their local King and installed our Fulani Emir. We took that ancient town away from the barbarian Yoruba and their filthy pagan gods. We liberated all these places and all these people by imposing Islam on them by force. [b]It was either the Koran or the sword and most of them chose the Koran."

Aliyu Ismaila Gwarzo is a former Head of Nigerian State Security Service.

The question is, was Islam the Fulani original religion? Maguzanci" or Bori is a pre-Islamic traditional religion of the Fulani people that involves magic and spirit possession before they got conquered by the Middle Eastern, raped their women, wives and children, gave birth to children of curly hair, forced to accept religion they knew nothing about by the Middle East. Pushed them off their land and made them wanderers and menace to other African regions like West Africa.

Curly hair on a black man is how we know the people from North Africa who left their land out of Hunger and wandered all over west Africa for greener grass for themselves and livestock.

I hope you don’t have curly hair? If you do, West Africa is not your land and we west Africans are very accommodating but we know ourselves through our hair. Find where you’re from and go back to your land cos you should be strong enough to fight for it by now lol

Fulani- Nigeria
Fulan- Sierra Leone
Fula- Ghana

Should I continue? The world Fula is to remind you lots that you’re not from West Africa and you can tell from your curly hair

Africa in general accepted western religions like Christianity and Islam by whatever means then and Usman dan Fodio was only a high rank slave who helped spread the Islam religion through his own barbaric means.

Shut up

same to you.

If they should tell you what is under that small coffin ehn

He is dead and buried.
Erin wo!
Ajanaku subu, kole dide!
Death is the end of every soul.

He was good aalafin.
There is limit a traditional ruler could do, they have little to no role in constitution.
He stood for june 12. He was victimized by abacha because of his support for that.
I feel like his death news should be unreal.

Hope new aalafin would be a good king.

RIP Great King

THAT WAS A SMOKESCREEN!THE TRADITIONALISTS DID THE ACTUAL BURIAL!!

meaning there will still be traditional rites for the dead secretly

So his first one should be the Arab way as an Arab man or what do they practice African traditions in Arab
