The traditional ruler of Awka in Anambra State, Oba Alhaji Olahan recently, coronated the third Oba of Awka, Alhaji Abdul Olahan, popularly called Ezechinedu, (Leader led by God) by his admirers.

Before him were Oba Owolabi I and Oba Oseni II whose transition took place about a year ago. The new Oba, who has spent 68 years in Awka, was barely two years when he was brought to Awka by his late mother, Alhaja Afusat Olahan, to join his late father, who was a tailor, Hamzah Olahan, from Ede town, Ede North Council of Osun State.

Speaking after his coronation, the new king assured that the Yoruba ethnic group would continue to remain peaceful and supportive of the government at all levels. The renowned fashion designer, fabrics and estate management entrepreneur pointed out that the new position is an added responsibility on him to lead, with God’s wisdom, to resolve issues, as well as bridge gaps between people who disagree

He was also full of praises for the Anambra State governor for his outstanding developmental works in the state especially in his kingdom of Awka.

Nice,

Let them burn their backyard 4 we care

Very good development. Peace is essential

He should condemn the sh!T his brothers are doing in Lagos

He is on his own

There's no Yoruba oba outside Yorubaland in Nigeria, Benin and Togo

Yorubas don't give Oba to people outside Yorubaland.

Some mofos think life only revolves around Lagos but unfortunately such mofos haven't crawled out of their shells yet. Here is an Oba in Anambra so definitely we have yorubas in other parts of the country too.

you certainly don't know anything about tradition and the importance of having a traditional head who represents his people away from home.
FYI, there is Sarkin Fulani in Lagos. 😅😅😅

He's an estate magnate in Awka

Aree or Asiwaju is what Yorubas give leaders outside Yorubaland.

Aree Yoruba ilu Onitsha is more like it. How can someone call himself Oba of Akwa.

Everyone knows his village and town.

He's a crowned Oba with certificate of office from the governor. He owns a sizeable kingdom and real estate in Anambra State

Waiting to read more comments from children of hate that calls themselves accommodators.

Oh okay, it's the title that's the issue. Oh well, whatever it's called, it doesn't change the fact that he's representing his people outside home.

Then it's a fraudulent process.

Even in Yorubaland, we have different classes of kings

First class kings whose crown came directly from Ife

Second class kings whose crown came from the decedents of the first class king

And third class whose crown came with out of necessity and agitation of the locals.

In that car you traveled with, you may see an ant/insect in it. The ant knows nothing about those areas.

He is not representing anyone but his pocket.

No one will claim a plastic oba, it's an insult to Yoruba obas in Yorubaland.

They are denying their brother because the narrative won’t favour their “Ibo hate us” stereotype

There are many Yoruba and non Igbo in igboland but we don’t blow our trumpet like some people
I remember when I almost got lost in onitsha,I approached some guys and asked them for directions in igbo language,they look at themselves and spoke Yoruba to themselves before they answered me,the firsts one asked them second one before he spoke back to me in pure onitsha dialect
Turns out they have been in onitsha for a long time and have settled down here

But on the internet,there are no non igbos non ignoland

This life self

Correct. I think if you maintain the peace like this I might forgive your transgressions

Peace is the essence. Oba of Awka must do Oro festivals...

It's a mandatory custom for Yoruba Obas. Hence the Oba of Awka must do it. He can invite MC Oluomo as special guest of honour
