how this thread take concern yorubas.

Silence would have been better for a fool. Stop giving this kind of comments an audience.

Lord have mercy. Besides, there are some monikers that supposed to have been long gone on this forum. Why is seun and his mods always keeping quiet and see all these useless ,empty heads kids taking over this site? Why for God's sake. The site that you will always learn many new things before has been hi jacked by useless kids that thought everything is all about tribes ,religions and politics. Imagine what one idiot is saying above.
If seun is not careful enough,this site in the next five years will totally go off point from the first post. Now it is still manageable .
Only explorer thread is worth following now that is much more interesting and free of tribalism and religious idiots.

You are really on point sir.God bless u.As many people would like to contribute to issues being discussed here, the insults nd derogative comments going on here keep them away. It's high time seun nd his mods do something about it.

yeye man saraki is a known yoruba man. those who know him and his family will tell you that. keep quiet there. fulani men are not as aggressive and rambunctious and power hungry like that. thats a yoruba trait lol. plus like i said he is olubukola olusola married into awolowo family. pure yoruba man. kiss the truth mayne

I think i support ur claim. @ his father's burial in ilorin, when he was called to give address, he took permission from VP Namadi Sambo who represented Jonathan to allow him speak in his local language, he addressed the crowd in yoruba language for more than one hour.All the clerics in attendance were yorubas.His mum is from owo, all his siblings are married to yorubas.

wow ! This is interesting. My father used to mention his name whenever somebody spend money extravagantly or boast about his wealth. pele o, da rocha olowo. i never knew he is a nigerian.
..

people should verify things before jumping into conclusion, the man was explaining something to the king ,not handshake.

Oh! R I P, iyawo baba kekere

I'm not sure I like this. shouldn't it be the other way around?

I hope he is not trivialising the stool of the great oonirisa.

visiting private citizens should be out of it. an invitation could be extended to them to visit him in the palace.

you are right my brother,his actions belittle the throne of the great onirisa.

After spending some years in Ibadan, i have often queried the choice of old men as kings, i teased my friends that this gerontocratic monarchy will only increase the brown roofs as older men tends to be conservatives. Then he explained the selection process and i find it intriguing. Any indigene can be King provided you follow the route.

The process is kind of long but for general knowledge, its worth reading.

The making of an Olubadan
Every family and clan in Ibadanland has a Mogaji. Mogajis are family heads. They control the affairs of their family and ensure law and order. They are made Mogajis by the Olubadan after they have been so appointed and the family written to formally inform the Olubadan and the Council. In Ibadan, there are over 2,500 Mogajis or family heads as present. The installation ceremony of Mogajis is often performed at the palace of the Olubadan with pomp and fanfare. A Mogaji is a potential Olubadan in waiting if he eventually succeeds to join the ladder. It takes a whole lot for a Mogaji to become Jagun, the lowest rung of the Olubadan ladder, as there are competitions from other Mogajis.

The promotions of such Jaguns are not, however, random, as they are promoted in a sequential and orderly procedure. Upon vacancy in any of the lines, the title holder of a lower rung is promoted to the next rung of the ladder. The Balogun line has 23 rungs while the Olubadan line has 22 rungs. The next Olubadan alternates between the Balogun and the Otun Olubadan.

The promotion in the line of Balogun follows this pattern: From Jagun – Ajia – Bada – Are-Onibon – Gbonnka – Aare Egbe Omo – Oota – Lagunna – Are-Ago – Ayingun – Asaju – Ikolaba – Aare-Alasa – Agba-Akin – Ekefa – Maye –Abese – Ekarun Balogun – Ekerin Balogun – Ashipa Balogun – Osi Balogun – Otun Balogun and eventually to Balogun. The journey from Jagun to Balogun will take a prospective candidate through a 23-rung ladder, and, having reached the top of the ladder, he becomes Balogun and would, therefore, wait for his turn to emerge the Olubadan of Ibadanland.


The promotion in the line of Olubadan follows the same pattern, but is 22 rungs : From Jagun – Ajia – Bada – Aare Onibon – Gbonnka – Aare-Egbe Omo – Oota – Lagunna – Are-Ago – Ayingun – Asaju – Ikolaba – Aare-Alasa – Agba-Akin – Ekefa – Maye – Abese – Ekarun Olubadan – Ekerin Olubadan – Ashipa Olubadan – Osi Olubadan and finally to Otun Olubadan. The nomenclature looks the same with that of Balogun, until when the prospective candidate finally gets to the Ekarun Olubadan. Upon emergence as the Otun Olubadan, the candidate is set to emerge the next Olubadan of Ibadan land on his turn

When death occurs of any member on the ladder, there has to be installation ceremony to the next rank for affected candidates not less than 21 days after the burial of the last occupant. The Olubadan, upon notification of such death, will approve the promotion of others and perform installation ceremony for them at the palace. This is one of the reasons Ibadan chiefs are called Agbotikuyo (someone who rejoices at the death of another candidate).

The system has lots of advantages, no in-fighting for the stool and has helped the city to maintain its traditions.

But i foresee a radical change soon. The kings in southwestern towns and city are getting younger, more classy and finesse,Ibadan needs a young, well traveled and learned man to take it to the next phase of modernization!!

I really love this explanation but what will happen in a situation whereby both balogun and otun are still alive at the time of olubadan's death.

totorimi:
I have been trying to find out the meaning of Lai in Yoruba language but all I hear is that it is a short form of a longer name.
I can just imagine the alias the dude will be called in school such as ' hey lie come here or hello lie how u doing
or maybe his babe then would say I love you liar.

Just makes me wonder what sort of name is that lair lieing Lai. LLL for short.

olayiwola or laiwola that is the full pronunciation.

i think ooni should be superior cos he is the one who occupy the palace of oduduwa.

Ramsey noah also from ondo state

HBD....Ba wasi -oganla - ijoba Fuji - agbo mabiwon - ola nbiwonninu.
