My thoughts exactly

MadPolitician:
Who made them first class kings? At where and in what occasion? First class kings over who? What yardsticks were used? What is even the meaning of first class or second class or hundred class in kingship structure in Nigeria? What specific roles do these overdressed mutants play in the process of modernizing cultural tools across the country, that can not be done by any of the three arms of government?

Who put the oba of Lagos on that list? He himself will be seriously shocked that he is on that list. Na political Oba him be.

D

What a post. Kings that do not rule more a local government are what this OP is calling first class kings.

Attah Ìgàlà

Shehu of Borno

The Yoruba king's are ranked-
1. Alaafin of Oyo
2. Ooni of Ife
3. Awujale of Ijebu land
4. Alake of Egba
5. Olubadan of Ibadan

All of them are useless to the country.
What innovative and technology role do they play?

Go to developed countries, small boys are busy creating GMO mosquitoes. And we are here celebrating obsolete and outdated kings.

Sad!

Where is Jafo... The oniba of iba himself?

Also, king Asimimin Williams Dappa people of Grand Bonny kingdom.

Richtaiwo:
How is obi of Onitsha the 9th?

The Attah of Igalla, the Ohinoyi of Okene, the Emir of Zuru, king jaja of Opobo and that one in Benue are all ahead of Obi of Onitsha.

Ebubu8:
Number 9 Obi of Onitsha does not have any wide influence and didn't even resist British colonialism.

Eze Aro whose influence even reached Opobo, Cross River and most of Abia state, Akwa Ibom, Imo state, Ebonyi state had wider influence, spirituality of Long juju, and wealth as they raided slaves and trades in Oil.

Arochukwu held greater and vaster influence pre-colonial Nigeria than Onitsha the Bini people.

Shut up. Obi is more recognised and also controls more influence in Nigeria than that unpopular name you just mentioned.

Remove that 7 na apc puppet rest are fine

omowolewa:
Who puts Oni 3rd

Oni is a very useless person, he shouldn't appear here, should appear in fornication magazine.

Awujale of Ijebuland is bigger than Oba of Benin

Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of Oyo are bigger than Sultan of Sokoto

Zonefree:
Remove number 7 abeg.

No be that king they sold his staff of office for Jiji?

Same Oba Seyi dey use do caricature

Just because he said IPOB retards should go and jump in the Lagos lagoon?
He's our king and you can't do shit about it but wail and cry from now to eternity.

Richtaiwo:

All those kings you called are useless and should not be more valuable than a toilet paper.

Also, king Asimimini Williams Dappa pepple of Grand Bonny kingdom.

The Attah of Igalla, the Ohinoyi of Okene, the Emir of Zuru, king jaja of Opobo and that one in Benue are all ahead of Obi of Onitsha.

Where is Alake of Egbaland
Soun of Ogbomoso
Awujale of Ijebu
Ataoja of Osogbo
Obokun of Ijeshaland
Deji of Akure, Oba of Lagos and Olubadan aren't first class kings

Why ate you embarrassing Yoruba? WTF! Why would you include Oba of Lagos? And why would you put Alaafin and Ooni in those numbers? I will agree if only those two mention can be in 1, 2 or 1, 3 or 2, 3.

Amanyanabo of bonny kingdom...Who is probably richer than all of them. King diete Spiff of town Brass...King Edmund daukoru of Nembe kingdom.

The list is endless ....So the topic should have been the most influential First class kings in Nigeria.

Na wa for you o, do you think it’s by 1st, 2nd and 3rd? The poster said all first class kings. Lol

Alaafin before Ooni ? Really ?

Riskymarvelous:
Where is Akinruntan obatero A.K.A (OBAT) of mahin kingdom in Ondo State

The OP is not talking about the richest king bro, he's talking about the hierarchy of Kings in Nigeria.




Obat won't make top 200 Ajeh 💯

goslowgoslow:
No king is above another king, they rule in their respective states.

Alaafin is above all kings in the West and Majority of kingdoms in the South all the way to Cotonou.

Having colonized and ruled over them in the Oyo empire where he imposed his dialect upon the territory ( the Yoruba spoken across the entire Southwest is Oyo dialect), imposed taxes, Yoruba Bible is written in Oyo.

Alaafin was the government pre- colonial era.

slim75d:
Is sultan of sokoto a traditional ruler or a religious leader.
This list is centered on the major tribes in the country, we have kings in the coastal region of Nigeria like
Amayanabo of kalabari
Amayanabo / king jaja of Opobo
Amayanabo of Nembe
Amayanabo of Bonny
This thrones played major roles during the trans - Atlantic slave trade era and before the amalgamation of the protectorate.

King Jaja of Opobo's image was used as Nigeria 🇳🇬 independent logo

Wike tribesman spotted....lol

Where is esu of nupe,emir of zazzau,king jaja of opobo

But only one didn't bow to Queen Eliza: The One Preceding The current Obi of Onitsha... All others past...were doing dobale for the frail Queen Eliza

There was no particular order there. A first class King is a first class King, irrespective of tribe and religion. The Ooni of Ife is a first class in his domain and respected by his people just like the others, who are equally respected and dignified by his people. When they meet at the national level, they all sit in the chairs allocated to them by those in charge. The Ooni cannot seat in a better chair than the Alaafin of Oyo or the Obi of Onitsha. They are equally treated.

The Attah of Igalla is a very well respected first class king, just like the rest. In addition there are also HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, EZE OZUOWUOWU LEVI AMOS ORLU ORIEBE, JP, as NYE NWE ALI AKPOR, occupant of a 1st Class Traditional Chieftaincy Stool in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State with effect from 14th January, 2022.

HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, SIR OHNA SERGEANT CHIDI AWUSE, as NNE-NWE-ELI EMOHUA XIII (OLO IV), occupant of a 1st Class Traditional Chieftaincy Stool in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State with effect from 29th January, 2022.

The name of the Obong of Calabar was omitted.

Every local government in Nigeria has, at least first class king, it's perogative of Gov of a state to give first class, 2nd or 3rd grade king.


Those kings you mentioned are most popular and not only first class kings in Nigeria.

There are many kings in Yorubaland that are ahead of Olubadan e.g. Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland, Akarigbo of Remo, Soun of Ogbomoso, Oluwo of Iwo, Ataoja of Osogbo, Timi of Ede, Osemawen of Ondo, Olugbo of Ugboland, Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, etc. Historically, Olubadan is nowhere near these Obas.

Who made them first class kings? At where and in what occasion? First class kings over who? What yardsticks were used? What is even the meaning of first class or second class or hundred class in kingship structure in Nigeria? What specific roles do these overdressed mutants play in the process of modernizing cultural tools across the country, that can not be done by any of the three arms of government?

Well said!
