This is the beauty of Yoruba culture. I could vividly remember those early 90's when Obi of Onisha and Oba of Benni used to come for fatherly and elderly advice in the palace of Alaafin of Oyo.




Kabiyesi ooooo

You have started with lies again. Show us pictures of when they came for advice.

No wonder some people with little ancestry to be proud of said they are Jews descendants. It's a pity.
PROUD OMOLUWABI.

One thing is clear, yoruba seem to love and cherish colonization.
Whereas my people actually fought to maintain their sovereignty, yoruba actually loved giving theirs away without a fight.
Whereas the British looted the country of my ancestors and burnt down our capital and several of our cities, it seems they actually donated things to their fateful yoruba servants.

yoruba pride indeed. Traitors to the black race. Original uncle toms.

You had no Kings, there is still Queen of England, you Ibos can not know the importance because you never had one

First off I'm not Igbo. I'm part yoruba. Im not english either so the queen of england is not exactly my cup of tea but if I was an englishman, I'd also ask how relevant the royal family is to my existence .

I see you have conveniently refused to answer my question instead you have muddied the waters with plenty distractions.
Again enlighten me on how these so called royal fathers have impacted the lives of the average Niggerian.

LegendHero:
Oyo Alaafin.
Ojo pa sekere omo atiba
Oyo nipe kolowo ko gbowo
Oni koni iwofa gba tire
Ase kole ba di’ja, ko le ba daapon
Komo oba le ri ‘n muje
Oyo gbin agbado oran seyinkule elenkule
Elenkule o gbodo faatu, be ni ko si gbodo faaya.

myfriend will you shut up?

LegendHero:


Let me translate it for you. I don’t know ami ohun much like that which explained why you might not understand it well. Also, I used a proper Oyo dialect.

—Oyo Alaafin (Oyo, the descendant of the Alaafin)
—Ojo pa sekere omo atiba (Rain must not beat sekere, Son of Atiba)
—Oyo nipe kolowo ko gbowo (Oyo said the creditor should collect his money)
—Oni koni iwofa gba tire (He also went to tell the debtor (Iwofa - a system where people use their family as collateral to borrow money) not to pay his debt)
—Ase kole ba di’ja, ko le ba daapon (Not knowing that the reason why Oyo did this is so that fight can happen)
—Komo oba le ri ‘n muje (So the prince can eat)
—Oyo gbin agbado oran seyinkule elenkule (Oyo planted a wicked mystery maize/corn of trouble at another man's backyard)
—Elenkule o gbodo faatu, be ni ko si gbodo faaya (The owner must not uproot it, and he must not shred it)
__Omo iku, tiku kogbódò pa
(child of death who death cannot kill)
----Omo Arun, tarun kogbódò see
(child of pestilence who cannot be tied down by sickness)
----Omo Ofo, tofo kogbódò see(child of calamity whom calamity can't afflict )

All this eulogy of Oyo is just showing the empire might. Imagine planting a corn/maize of trouble at the back of one’s compound and telling him not to uproot it nor shred it. Like you’re showing your might and power over them.

Eledumare bless you

Igbo's will forever be the most jealoused tribe of this country because of flow of God blessings on us. If you traveled to any Igbo state, u will ask your self weather its really the place destroyed by Nigeria army, its even more developed than many states in Nigeria.
In terms of population, is Yoruba in anywhere more than us even after many were slaughtered during the war as you said.
So my dear IBO tribe can never be wiped away.
I better have one ojukwu than thousands of awolowo or afonja

How has the Nigerian government been any helpful to the lives of ordinary Nigerians ?

Nigeria was not created in a void, some kingdoms fought war against Britain and lost (some gladly threw away their sovereignty) then the British gathered all those kingdoms and created Nigeria and ruled it indirectly.

The kings (the true ones, not the ones which keep propping up in post colonial Nigeria or those created in colonial Nigeria) are important to their respective people who love their actual traditions and way of life. The true kings also provide stability and peace by embodying the traditions of the land and by being a direct link between the modern life and the era of our ancestors.

I come start to wonder when oga start to seek fatherly advice from boy boy

Sorry, I misread you.

0balufonlll:


Are you greater than your father?
If no, then you have your answer.

Your answer makes no sense. Is the current Ife king not greater than his father who is still very much alive?
Stop answering that often repeated irrelevant question. The kings are great and they rule separate kingdoms, that's all we need to know (There is no Alaafin of Yoruba or Ooni of Yoruba, they have their distinct domains). That question is often repeated deliberately to make fun of the Yorubas and create division.

Read your history written by your people. Imagine Handset of all things. A black man invented the telephone. Stop acting like a Slave.

shut up ur mouth how did Oyibo finish us all this nonsense force down our throats by our useless politicians and u believe. Did they stop Nigeria from developing abi na our people dey steal go outside.

If not for Oyibo will U be using Handsets or know about Android abi u for the Alaafin house as sacrificial ram wen him die. Travel out and compare ur country to the Oyibo then u will know that they have strong institution and not rubber-stamped as we have here

You mean the Igbo women in your picture that are wearing rare copper spirals worth atleast 12 million Naira in todays amount on their legs are naked?

If you want to talk about people being naked, talk about the Yoruba women in the picture below that the few things they are wearing are worth absolutely nothing

You can't compare yourselves with Ndigbo. There has never been a time we were mates

Eh Mister! Your opinions are unpopular here. After all, you clearly saw the headline before you clicked on it. Nobody will crucify you for self love. How about opening your own thread and write an embellished epistle on how Igbo Amaka no dey disappoint? Biko carry your wahala komot for this lovely Omoluabi thread.

Are you sure that is the Alaafin's palace? It looks more like Mapo Hall in Ibadan or the official residence of a district officer.
I've actually been to the Alaafin's palace and it doesn't look anything like this

SlyDev:
"A rare photo of a Diviner, Alaafin of Oyo & the almost legendary Capt. William A Ross. Who helped Alaafin of Oyo gain prominence again as paramount ruler of Yorubas- He was resident of Oyo 1914-1931. Ross was a friend of Alaafin Ladigbolu I. See how organized the palace is?"

Ok, since you asked for it.

Number 1, look well it's a she not a he

You don't agree with a book I wrote, get pen and paper and write your own book chikena! But because you are a trouble fermenter, No, you won't.

You and your kinsmen are the delusional ones here. You have what we call initial gragra and it ends there.
You'd think you know, meanwhile there's nothing upstairs.

The same oversabi attitude is what you have brought into today's political space. No worthy illustrious Candidate for presidency when 2023 is so near. I personally feel south east should be allowed to occupy Aso rock this time but SE seems not to be anywhere near ready. No known political stalwart that can pull the force. That should be a source of worry for you and your generation unborn, not some ancient Alaafin that your grandparents never met alive.

See the divisions in your region. See the killings. How can a sane person be killing his own people all in the name of an agitation or advocacy? For what exactly? Those are the things you should concern yourself with. You can't seem to choose between Biafra and Nigeria. You either lack identity or some of you choose to be bastards. Your political leaders visit Abuja with double mouths. Set of very confused people.

This SW that you hate is where many of you earn your living. Go to Alaba, Go to Ajegunle, Go to Ladipo, Go to Tejuosho, Go to Computer Village, Go to Willoughby/Borno Way, Oyingbo, your brothers full ground. Despite your hate, we accommodate you because we're wiser, you boost (develop) our commerce.

I have Ibo friends, they're great people. My closest neighbor is an Igbo man.

But you see some of you, especially you and your likes are just busy little bees. You are inconsequential. We will crush you! Don't just sit behind your keyboard and type rubbish with your leprosy infested fingers, Be warned!

How you expect group of people that their fore fathers were still walking naked and moving with Orangutans in the bush at that time know what normal human beings get at that time.

They were all in the jungle at that time bro. Leave them.
