temigracie: .....hmmmmm....Do you still love her??

PassingShot: He spoke the truth but Africans have been mentally colonized by the West and their propaganda.

Now Libya will understand real sufferings and they may NEVER get out of it. It is gradually turning into an Iraq already.

Isn't it funny that the West wants to dictate how the rest of the world live their life and our stoopid leaders continue to "sell" the continent to them one way or the other.

With the loss of Gadafi, Africa has lost one of the few remaining true leaders and as they say "we are on a long thing".

9jacrip: Apologies then.

9jacrip: Olodo!

Even your Alaafin waits on the Ooni/Ile-Ife to for sword of authority before being authenticated or validated as an ascending king in Oyo.

Engaging in exchanges with you is a waste of time.

tonychristopher: If he Is a god then worship him....

How can puerile reason like this

saxywale: Then tell me sweetie, how come the creator of Oyo ile in katunga( now presently in Niger state) aka the 1st alaafin was the 4th ooni at Ife. not number 1,2,3 but the fourth....pls tell me
And in your own imagination... Oyo ile in present day Niger state is the ancestral home of "we" yorubas.

Abi omo Igbo ni bobo yi ni?

emmasege: U got it wrong. How can Oyo be our ancestral home?, who taught you Yoruba history?. U need to re-enrol for a Yoruba class under a sound tutor. Where do u call your ancestral home?, Is it where ur Uncle re-located, colonised, lived and died?, Isn't it where ur Patriach lived/founded? Oduduwa is our Patriach, had only one son- Okanbi who also had seven sons. Oduduwa lived and died in Ife. His seven grandsons spread out to different parts of Yoruba land and Oranmiyan happened to be one of the seven who relocated to Oyo to become Alaafin. Historically, Alaafin is in the same class as Deji of Akure, Oba of Benin, Alake of Egba land among others. Don't compare Oyo with ile-Ife at all. Egbe eye l'eye nwo to o.

Ishilove: god ko, godot ni

saxywale: You got it wrong..it's the other way round. And what even happened to the political aka head of state after the fall of Oyo empire(popularly called oyo ile) in present day Niger state??...

Also tell me how far ago was Oyo ile created?

kayjasper: No gain saying...this is true royalty.
Alaafin is undoubtedly the most flamboyant, important and relevant king of Yoruba land.

check his poise and glamour even at age 80.

He truly is the last of his kind... a living god!!

temigracie: ....can you share too??

berem: Tiwa of course! The model get flat yansh and flat bweasts.e no fit her joor!

RoyalRoy: Just check out the regalia and swags of Oba Adeyemi With his pretty queen.!!!

And then some ignorant few will claim Ooni of Ife is the greater of the two kings.

Is it not obvious the Alaafin is pushing more of the Yoruba culture and tradition all over the globe than the Ooni?

He has the flair and charisma that portrays a true royal king of the yorubas. Never mincing words, always real and factual.

I believe he is one of the very few revered and articulate kings left in Yoruba land. If not the greatest of this generation.

May he never stumble. Amen.

olatumo: Whether elementary or advanced history, Alaafin is
the Head of Yoruba Obas. Ooni was a son of palace
slave (captive) turned priest that perform fetish
sacrifices for Oodua. Olojudo-Alayemero of Ido-Osun
and his sycophant OPC stooge (Frederick Fasheun)
should stop distorting history. Ooni is not one of
children of Oduduwa. Alaafin Oranmiyan (1st IKU
BABA YEYE) initially ruled at Ile Ife before
transferring the political headquarters of Yoruba
race to Oyo Ile. Since then Oyo had became the
ancient Yoruba Capital City and the paramount ruler
since then was Alaafin Ornamiyan and his progeny.
Ooni is not one of Oduduwa's 7 children and 16
grand children. Modern days fake Odu-Ifa that tends
to re-write Yoruba history in favor of Sijuwade is not
acceptable. Sijuwade is, no doubt, richer than
Alaafin but Alaafin is legitimate child of Oduduwa
and Ooni was not. While Orangun Ila, Alaketu and
other Yoruba children scarmbled to inherit Oduduwa
monies and wives, Alaafin Oranmiyan (though the
youngest child) outsmarted his senior brothers by
chooising to inherit all Yoruba lands that his
brothers considered 'invaluable' then. He later
became the Yoruba landlord (owner of Yorubaland)
to whom others Yoruba kings paid rent (Isakole).
Because he had all the land, he became the greatest
Yoruba monarch that founded one of the greatests
empire in Africa. Alaafin suzeranity covered not only
the present Yoruba areas of present Western
Nigeria, it also extends to Benin Republic and
Dahomey and larger part of West of Africa. Based on
the foregoing, it is crystal clear that both Fredereick
Fasheun and Olojudo-Alayemero of Ido-Osun
(Sijuwade errand boys) were wrong for insinuating
that Ooni (the child of palace slave) is greater than
Alaafin (the Oduduwa legitimate child) that ruled
over the whole of Yorubaland after the demise of his
father Oduduwa. To further butress this arguement,
Alaafin Adeyemi 1 who is grandfather to the present
Oba Lamidi Adeyemi was recognised by colonialists
as the head of Yoruba race and he had always
signed treateies as the Head of Yoruba Nation. No
other Yoruba Obas (including Ooni) had ever
attained that exalted status in the Yoruba history.
By tradition, Alaafin remains the most superior king
and the paramount ruler of Yorubaland. Plethoria of
evidence abound in the federal and state
government archives that previous Alaafin had
always hosted and presided of Yoruba Obas meeting
because Alaafinate is second to none in Yorubaland.
Ooni sijuwade may be richer or older than Lamidi
Adeyemi, Oba Adeyemi stil remains superior
because Yoruba Obaship is determined by tradition
(not mundane factors). Imagine Elejigbo of Ejigbo
Osun State, because of monetary inducement, now
recanting his archived statement. Recently he said
that Ooni was superior to Alaafin. But his archived
statement he signed with other Yoruba Obas several
years ago confirmed that Alaafin was Head of
Yoruba Obas. Yoruba Obas shopuld not because of
monetary gains turned our history upside down to
please their sponsor. There is no harm in being a
sycophant Obas that kowtow a wealthy king for
monetary support, but Yoruba will not allow new
generation (latter days) monarchs to distort our
hsitory tha placed Alaafin over other Obas in
Yorubaland. If not for the politics of AC/UPN era that
supported sijuwade against Alaafin, who is Ooni of
Ife to challenge Alaafin's supreamcy? Late Chief
Awolowo deserve all acollades for his archivements
in Western Nigeria and I am also a beneficairy of his
free education but with due respect to the late sage,
it was his greatest mistake for allowing politics to
overide the tradition by supporting imosition of Ooni
over Alaafin. If not for political disgreement between
late Awolowo and Oba Adeyemi II, there will be no
controversy because Yoruba Obas had long
submitted to Alaafin's leadership prior to politics
era. I am a legitimate Yoruba and I herein empahsize
that Alaafin is the most supreme Oba in the Yoruba
land (Ooni was not). To crown it all, Alaafin
insitution has the exclusive authoity to confer any
Yoruba Chieftaincy title accross Yoruba land. Alaafin
appointed Late Ladoke Akintola and Chief M.K.O.
Abiola as Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland. No Ooni
has ever done that in Yoruba history, then who is
superior. Sijuwade attempt to confer Akinrogun of
Yorubaland on Tom Ikimi of NRC for political reasons
was rejected by Yorubas because they beleive that
tradition only allows Alaafin to confer title across
Yorubaland. Recently, he successfuly conferred
Aare-Baamofin of Yorubaland on Senior Advocate
Afe Babalola, and the Yorubas supported him. when
I read that one Olojudo kicked against the
celebartion of our dear Mrs. Alaba Lawson as Iyalode
of Yorubaland, I laughed because no Obas could stop
Alaafin from doing what the tradition allows him to
do. Besides, our Iyalode had already received her
letter of appointment and we supported her
conferment, it is just a matter of time when the
celebartion will be performed because Alaafin had
never lost any battle. Once again, ALAAFIN IS THE
HEAD OF YORUBA OBAS AND HE IS SUPERIOR TO
OONI OF IFE. Thank you

Sermwell: The end of terror is near!
