Gov Seyi Makinde is courting trouble because other Royal House members are contesting his suitability or otherwise based on equity and justice of the candidate presented.

Makinde should not cause problems in Oyo kingdom already fragmented by politics of Alaafin stool.

He is warned,as aggrieved parties are going to Court.

Wetin concern government with tradition? Lol these my Yoruba people have lost it finally. I even heard the government influences who becomes king 😂😂😂
Thank God for the throne of my Oba of Benin and the entire Igodomigodo. Edo state is the only region where kings are truly kings. All the rest are government controlled, shameless and lost.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the Holy Book says… I would have respected your thoughts and submission, but your approach lost its way when you failed to discern basic facts.

Did you truly do your research before stating that the government chooses the King? You even mentioned, 'I heard 😂.'

I encourage you to move beyond 'I heard' to 'I know.' Seek knowledge and ensure you fully understand the subject before speaking, rather than relying on hearsay and misrepresentations.

As a Yoruba person, I have great respect for all tribes. Your one-sided comments only contribute to further division in a nation that we should all strive to unify

Hmnn! So the Oyomesis collected bribe from Sulu Gambari and his Fulani Gang from Sokoto, to instal Lukman Gbadegesin, whose mother is Fulani.

Yoruba, the Fulanis are working hard to enslave you in your own land through Islam, like they did to the Hausas! Stop sleeping, this isn't a joke.

That stupid Emir of Ilorin needs to be dealt with and removed for interfering in Yoruba affairs.

I even saw where Ede king was prostrating to the useless Emir; these Obas are very corrupt and they can sell their subjects foreigners if they see the opportunity to do so.

Positions of Obas should not be given to. Muslims again as they are being bought over by rich Muslims from outside.

Yoruba christians are gradually cooperating with traditionalists to curb the Islamisation of Yorubaland through corrupt Muslim Obas.

Kabiesi o!

I hope he was the one picked by IFA...if not...everyone involved has invited curses on their generation...

Also Kings don't divorce in Yoruba Land... If a king rejects an Olori usually she has committed a great Taboo... She can't live within the King's Domain anymore... As for the Alaafin and the Ooni...if for any reason they divorce an Olori... She can't live anywhere in Yoruba Land anymore... If because of now modern life she feels she can stay anywhere she likes...the consequences are severe...

So let ladies think very well before they choose to be an Olori...

All hail our King 👑!

Don't bring religion into our traditional institution. The last alafin was a Muslim. He was there for more than 50 years. Does Muslim owns Oyo.?

The ifa Oracle in Yorubaland now is any sitting Governor. They decides for or against any kingmaker.

Governor picks whoever he want as the king.

Whatever rocks their boat
That's a backdoor Alaafin. They'll probably be attacked if both of them should go to the palace now because the Governor chose the king himself not the Oyomesi who are the kingmakers

The oyomesi that collected bribe....

The brain of a Tilapia fish does not contain white and grey matter! As a matter of fact, our brain extremely differs! So you comparison is grossly illogical and ludicrous!

Comparisons can be made based on many things not necessarily matter. My comparison is on size and ability to comprehend things and reason appropriately. Yours which happens to be very minimal just like that of a Tilapia fish.

Men can be kids just as kids become men! Not all men can be men! And if you judge a man to be a kid by just one statement then you are the latest kid in the block!

It's good you admitted that of a truth you some men can actually be adults in the body but children in reasoning only that my judgement of you being a child doesn't come from just this post but many of your stupid and childish post. This is not my first time engaging you not even to mention that your posts here are always distasteful.

AntiChristian:
I never refered to Oyo State in my comment. I referred to the "Akeem" in his name!

Thank you for reminding me again that you're just a child in an adult's body.

That "Akeem" is now the choose Alaafin of the Oyo kingdom and an attack on his person in whatever way us an attack on the Oyo kingdom and the Yoruba people that he has been chosen to be their leader. Just like an attack on Tinubu is an attack on the presidency.

AntiChristian:
Na Jesus's ancestry can be traced to Oyo!

Christians on this thread just congratulated the alaafin and went on their way. No fuss about religion.

We have always said that Jesus Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The ancient of Days. He is God over all and that includes you! So, no Christin ever claimed the throne of Oyo or is interested in it. We don't do Jihad!

AntiChristian:
I don't know any Pedophile Muhammad anywhere. Is it the Pedophile Jehoah that was shared 32 virgin girls in Numbers 31:40 that create Oyo? I learnt Oyo people are pedophiles about 200-300 years ago, is that true?

If you don't know the pedophile, then you are not a Muslim. Cause one of the things that makes you a Muslim is that you believe in the pedophile. You don't know your pedophile that married a girl at age 6 and had carnal knowledge of her when she was 8 years old? When she hadn't eve gotten to the age of puberty and her vagina was not even ripe to be sexed?

And that same person was made a prophet by your so called holy book. Someone not normal in the head is seen as your role model. Safe to say, you're not normal too.

AntiChristian:
Is it the Pedophile Jehoah that was shared 32 virgin girls in Numbers 31:40 that create Oyo?

It's good you've increased your reading of the Bible. That's the only place you can find help.

You've been reading but still can't comprehend. I don't know if it's lack of education or that islam ti ruin aye e. Cause this is the bible verse you quoted;

NIV:16,000 people, of whom the tribute for the Lord was

And there's no mention of gender there talk less of them being virgins or being shared.

But continue reading sha. I've told you before, without Christianity there's nothing to preach in Islam. Just terrorism.

AntiChristian:

From this I know that you're not a Yoruba person. Or you're from Ilorin. God help us with Al these half Fulani's

Seyi Makinde is truly a bad leader. The guy appears as if he is a man of integrity but he is just opposite of that. If truly he picked the wrong man not endorsed by Oyomesi then he has ruined himself cos history will never forget him and what he stood for.

That other man is a very wrong choice. A man that can scam someone of 64 million and refuse to refund and even threaten the person with death and only start repaying when a petition was written against him to the IGP deserves to lose any claim to the throne.

Please what brought CAN to this matter? Or the governor has no power again to approve obaship. Don't let some religious fanatics divide us in south West, like one man organisation using his professorship to cause division, no one should be surprise about him because he was sent to religious fanatics country to go and study how to destabilize south West, forgetting that there is no house where you will not find all religion adherent living happily without quarreling, God will disgrace those claimed they are fighting for God and cause division among His people.

It is because you don't know what has been happening underground. This Oyomesi and especially the Bashorun are very corrupt and it's alleged that they have collected huge sum of money from Gbadegesin. The money was distributed but the other oyomesi got to know that the amount of money Bashorun received was too enormous compared to what was given to them. They demanded more but Bashorun's greed wouldn't let him give more. Everything scatter scatter.

It was Governor Seyi Makinde that invited Professor Wande Abimbola to consult the oracle and Owoade was picked. So it was traditional enough and kudos to the governor for the smart move.

I saw the video of professor Wande Abimbola confessing that the governor appointed him and the head of it's worldwide to consult the Oracle and they both chose the new Alaafin.

Tareq1105:
Is it today that kingmakers had been collecting bribe. Can you prove they took bribe? I don't see that as bribe but lobbying. It's everywhere.

Can Seyi Makinde swear he didn't lobby INEC? So, it's not new and that doesn't mean he should shut out kingmakers in the selection process. The kingmakers are the one to select and forward name to the Gov.

What a responsible Gov should do is to lobby the kingmakers for his candidate if he has one in mind.

Now, he's rushing everything. He appointed him 3 days ago and yesterday he gave him staff of office without the usual coronation ceremony. Is that the procedure in Yoruba land?

Medicine after death, half Fulani have no business sitting on Oyo throne, Yorubas have wake up don't you just get it.
Making such a mistake would have set a bad precedent, Fulani will not be allowed through the backdoor.
Ajise bi Oyo laari, Oyo kii se bi baba nla baba enikan.
That stool belongs to only the pure blood, same goes for the rest of Yoruba land, you see as it happened to Chinedu pretending to be Gbadebo in Lagos.
If Oyomesi had not sold Oyo to the Fulani in the past, Oyo might have defend the entire Yoruba land, and Yorubas wouldn't have suffered trans Atlantic slavery and colonization.

Yoruba just dodge a bullet, the man could probably be the reincarnation of Alafin Aole.
Back to finish what he started, Alafin Aole was like this before he became an Alafin and Oyo paid dearly for it.
Oyomesi were aware of this man's character yet want to enthrone him, so that history can repeat itself, greedy lots.
God bless governor Makinde for saving us from another impending catastrophy.

[quote author=iwaeda post=133698003]Governor Seyi Makinde Presents instruments of office to the New Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade.

Ifa chose new Alaafin because kingmakers were bribed

- Prof. Abimbola

By Isa Isawade

Prof. Wande Abimbola, born Ògúnwán̄dé Abím̄bọ́lá, a professor of Yoruba language and literature, and a former vice-chancellor of the University of Ife (formerly Obafemi Awolowo University), has revealed the process through which the Alaafin-elect, Prince Abimbola Owoade was chosen.

According to the academician and elder statesman who once served as the Majority Leader of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he was asked by the government to consult the Ifa Oracle to choose the next Alaafin because the Oyomesi Kingmakers had been compromised.

Professor Abimbola revealed this in a video clip currently going viral on social media where he was asked by a concerned Nigerian to confirm or not information that he consulted Ifa to choose the new Alaafin.

The erudite professor who spoke elonquently in flawless Yoruba Language confirmed the news.

“Yes, it’s the Oyo State Government that asked me to consult Ifa. By April this year, it will be three years that our King, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, joined his ancestors. The kingmakers were consulted to pick a successor, and then interested individuals started giving hefty money to the kingmakers to influence their decision.

“This later divided the rank of the kingmakers because they discovered that the money their leader shared to them was a far cry from what he collected. The five kingmakers had earlier supported a particular prince who gave them the heaviest sum but after discovering the act perpetrated by their leader, two of them backtracked. They reached out to the government to say they were no longer in support of the candidate, adding that they just discovered that the money their leader collected from the said prince was incredibly heavy from which he gave them peanuts.

“That’s where the crisis started. Citizens of Oyo too started writing in newspapers to call out government that ‘it’s money you want to use to elect Alaafin into office, is that good?'” he recounted, adding that at that stage the matter became messy.

The reknowned traditionalist, who described the Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as a good man, said Makinde felt concerned and asked: “Was it not through Ifa divination that the King was chosen in the past?”, adding that if the same process was not explored, the stool would remain monetised and the institution bastardised.

The Àwísẹ Awo Àgbàyé lamented the erosion of the integrity of the traditional institution in Yorubaland through monetary inducement saying: “We don’t know of Hausaland or any other land elsewhere but in Yorubaland today, the system has been corrupted with money.

They would buy generators, cars and what have you for the kingmakers to influence the process.
“The kingmakers may collect money from a hundred candidates, it’s the highest bidder that they will give the stool to. That’s how they are doing it now. “The governor now said he would not accept such, saying that should stop.”

Prof. Abimbola recollected that Gov. Makinde pointed to him and said: “Is this not our father sitting down here who, we know, does not lie or deceive. In all the places he has worked both in government and in the academic community, he never took what does not rightly belong to him and he is an Ifa priest who holds the title of Àwísẹ Awo Àgbàyé . Why not let him go and consult Ifa. If we do it according to the tradition, it would bring appropriate result.”
The 92-year-old professor currently lives in the United States.

I doubt if we still have real kings in the country. They are all appointed by politicians.
