Dem say Gbadegesin has Fulani ancestry

OriOko88:
How does the king of England or d kings of Spain or Denmark impact lives of their citizen?? Modern slave

JAWBONE:
But the Oyomesi said their selection of Gbadegesin was final

ednut1:
Governors can sack and appoint kings then it should be scrapped. Alafin and other kings in Nigeria surrendered their sovereignty to the white man , some fought and still lost to the same white man. We are wasting state funds to cater for these numerous kings which is bs. The British monarchy is still there because they generate billions in tourism. What do these kings generate?

Urheadmaster:
Useless comparison.

OriOko88:
Gbadegesin's maternal line is Fulani

Urheadmaster:



How do the Alaafin of Oyo impact the lives of the citizens

sreamsense:
Hope modern day traditional divination did not collect bribe before making choice?

ednut1:
culture is getting allocated scarce state funds? Culture where the kings are flaunting rolls royce in the midst of hunger. Culture wey no dey generate any money. Abeg abeg

Yes bro...but that is still our culture and I won't have that thrown away because of just money. These kings represent 100s of generations of our culture and they have the traditions that bind us to our roots. You would prefer kings of Benin, Oyo and Ife to be deposed and the palaces empty? That's the little we have now as so called westernization is ravaging our lives and eroding us of our identity. The whites conquered us by defeating the empires of old. Should they also conquer us by making us abandon our roots? Do you know the Benin wall was 10000 miles long and 4 times longer than the wall of China? Such facts are lost because we don't care about our history.

I don't ever wanna be like the black Americans or even the Canadians who have no idea of their history. Being black is not just a skin color, it's an identity, an emblem, a story woven about our struggles, our experiences,our way of life. I will NEVER WANT ANYTHING TO ERASE THAT. They are allocated resources and they buy rolls Royce? Yeah,let them have it. Kings of old would have claimed everything,including your wife. 🙂

Makinde Approves Prince Abimbola Akeem Owoade As New Alaafin.

Prince Lukman Adelodun Gbadegesin, who had been selected by the Oyo Mesi will no longer be the Iku Baba Yeye.

Gov. Makinde should not destroy the great Alafin empire.

iwaeda:
So baba Bishop Alayande lost out too.

It seems he knows what he is saying. We should wait for further information from the Oyomesi council themselves. Firstly, we know they are searching for new Alaafin. For him to have mentioned the name of Prince Gbadegesin shows he has an information.

That throne is very spiritual to the Yoruba race worldwide.

The Yorubas are divided. Seriously divided. Alaafin Adeyemi left at a very strategic time he was needed most. The statement released by the OHANEZE NDIGBO after the emergency of Tinubu as APC Flag bearer wouldn't have gone without response if Alaafin Adeyemi was alive.

lagos to uk by car is 7,000 kilometres. But you are claiming benin wall was 10k miles which is 16k kilometres. There are pictures of the benin expedition loot why are there no pictures of the said wall? It was a mud moat not a wall. The ancient walls in kano and sokoto still exist today

isan:
Dem say Gbadegesin has Fulani ancestry

luminouz:
Kindly make research on this. I can send you links but that will make you lazy. The walls were destroyed by the British. I never read that the British attacked kano and sokoto

ednut1:
they did and used canons to penetrate the walls. Part of the walls still exist today in kano , sokoto etc. where is the benin wall. Like i said it was a moat made with mud

luminouz:
Did you make the research on the Benin wall?

I am not familiar with the war on the north by the British
