Another Canada-based electee to a traditional stool?

I hope he wont turn out to be like that culturally-confused, former Yahoo boy and Igbo-smoking Canada returnee who now claims to be the Sultan abi Emir of Iwo kingdom.

I wish him the best

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

AngelicBeing:
So you know that and you are still asking again, Huh

OriOko88:
Wat is it about ilesa debacle. Did the owa king not merit it

lexy2014:
what is it that you know and what is it that you are still asking?

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?

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

3ice9ce:
A King doesn't reply the rants of slaves. None of the Ohaneze members dead or alive has royal blood. If it were a traditional ruler, it would have been different.
Why should the Aláàfin reply the assembly of commoners called Ohaneze?

Arostar2023:
Royal blood, you say? Any traditional ruler in Nigeria can be removed by the governor of his state. A governor without the so called royal blood.

Davoneskay:
This Alaafin has no tribal mark. We won't agree.

ednut1:
why is there no actual picture of the benin wall that you claimed is 10k miles na. To penetrate a wall you need to destroy a section of it. The remaining parts go still dey lol. So where is the remaining benin wall o

luminouz:
I asked if you checked the history of the Benin wall and the specifications or are we to go around in circles? I could give you the articles but I don't encourage laziness.

You are posting Kano walls when I asked you of Benin wall...if not that you promised to get me a Canadian babe..I for wooze you today.

iwaeda:
Iku ba yeye, kade pelori.
What will Gbadegesin do now.

ednut1:
the only pictures of the benin wall i have seen is a drawing from 1700-1800s. The British breached three sides of it. Meaning there should still be surviving parts if truly its a wall

luminouz:
Bla bla blaaaaaaaaaa!!!! You are deliberately skipping what I wanted you to search for.

Since you are so lazy...search Wikipedia and let me rest. Get some free links.

So you see ...you don't even know your own history and yet the few people who are documenting/representing the culture are useless to you and you'd have us depose and abandon them. So when your kids want to know their roots...what will you tell them?

ednut1:
distance between UK and Lagos by car is around 8k kilometres. Wikipedia is saying its 16k kilometres. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone lol. Show us pictures of the wall o

Does Ooni his father have Tribal Marks?

Davoneskay:
I'm sure you aren't Yoruba. The Oyos are known to have tribal marks. Some, about 6 slashes on both cheeks (three vertical and three horizontal on both cheeks) and others, it could be 3 slashes on both cheeks. Their kings' offsprings are always required to have it. I used to attend same church with one of the sons of the immediate late Alaafin back in Ibadan.

But you see Ife, like many other Yoruba lands, giving tribal marks is quickly going into extinction.
Ooni isn't the father of Alaafin, abeg.

christistruth01:
We are Oyo
Ooni is Alaafins Father that is common knowledge
Tribal marks are dying out all over Yorubaland

Alaafin Adeyemi didn't give his Children Tribal Marks

Go check it
We knew them

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

7lives:
You dey mind those ones, the wall they were moaning about is still there in Ijebu side of Epe.
The wall belongs to the descendants of Olokun Seniade, they were once living on the Atlantic ocean.
They came down when they lost their lands to the ocean, most of them live close to the Atlantic ocean mostly on the coasts of West Africa.
Orunmila spoke about Olokun Seniade, IFA is everyone's friend.

Davoneskay:
His son who has tribal mark that I'm talking about is over 50. He was his first son sef. He converted from Islam to Christianity and it caused a serious friction in his family.
Alaafin and this son that I'm talking about didn't set eye on each other for a long donkey years. It was in the last days of Alaafin that I heard (but not sure sha) that they reconciled.
