Weyrey post. ALLADIN OF OYO


MEANWHILE,

OLÚBÀDÀN AND ỌBA OF LAGOS ARE NOT FIRST CLASS KINGS,

They are second class

The hierarchy of Oba in Yorùbá land is

1, Alaafin
2, Ọọni
3, Alake of ẹgba
4, Awujalẹ


THE OTHERS ARE SECOND AND THIRD CLASS.

Olubadan of Ibadan isn't even regarded as a king in Oyo State, but a mere chief. In fact, Soun of Ogbomosho is more recognized than him. Oba of Lagos shouldn't be there too.

We assembled army even the akpa where also in the army just like the great roman empire did, if the head is good then everyone follows suit. If Tpain was normal Nigeria will also be normal.

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.

Remove every other king there except the Oba of Benin. That Obi of Onitsha is an errand boy.....

Mille:
Because of Oranmiyan, Son of Oduduwa. The authority of all the Obas of Benin were based on being a direct descendant of Oranmiyan and Oduduwa. Hence the Benin monarchy carries the bloodline of Yoruba ancestry.

Speaking of Yorubaland, the top hierarchy is;

Saladdin:
The list is far more than that. Nigeria should have more than 25 first class royals.

LandMann:
Apart from the Emir of Kano, the Oba of Benin and the Alafin of Oyo, the rest are charlatans and better off managing their family affairs.

As for that oni of ife that has been fingered in fraud, he should be dethroned cos he's brought nothing but disgrace to his yoruba people just like the exconvict Dapo Abiodun and USA indicted drug money launderer and now USA CIA spy in Nigeria Tinubu

Cocolatti:
First class in Nigeria, not Yorubaland. Though I blame the op, the headline should be prominent traditional rulers in Nigeria. Because first class traditional rulers are in all the 36 states

lexy2014:
What makes them first class royals?

nonxo007:
Alaafin before Ooni ? Really ?

Saladdin:
The Governors of each respective states have the powers to enthrone, dethrone and upgrade.

At least each Nigerian state has one first class king. When it comes to influence, power and wealth of these monarchs, that's another ballgame entirely.

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.
