To some conception, pregnancy and delivery is a piece of cake, to others it isn't and to the in-betweeners, theirs isn't even a cake.

I was at children hospital this week helping a church sister out, when we went in to see the doctor, he was attending to a woman with a baby. He told her that her baby wasn't conscious yet because s(he) didn't cry when s(he) was born. Can't what he termed the condition, just know asphyxia was part of the term. The baby cannot be fed till 'it' cries.

Yes ooooooo. I like the fact that he knows the "line of hierarchy" in Yoruba land.

Who is the alake when the Awujale of the wonderful ijebu empire is there?

Who is the olubadan when Aalafin of Oyo is there?


You are an enemy of Yoruba race. Your intention is to continue nurturing the hierchical feud among our Obas which the new Ooni is trying to bury. He cannot visit all Oba at the same time neither can he visit all Obas. Ibadan that you mentioned is not having an Oba at present, whom did you expect him to visit there.? He is visiting the Obas because he is a man of peace. If he is a man of discord like you, he could have expected the Obas to pay homage to him. I advise you to stop this message of rebellion among the Yorubas. Remember the history of Basorun Gaa and Afonja and desist from being a promoter of disunity among the Yorubas.

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!!

Nairalanders designating appointments since the day of John the Baptist. What if 'IFA' changes his mind and give the Olubadan to another person.
