When Oyomesi starts paying Alaafin's salary, they can challenge the state government's decision. Until then, let the elders run along.

Indomie Generations that Lacks Tradition and Customs Knowledge

emkz:
Is this proper? That a traditional ruler goes to the governor's office to collect a staff of office?

We must not allow politicians destroy our traditional institutions. Look at the sad case in Kano.

T9ksy:
Of course, you are !!!

Unfortunately, in this case, there's no option to sitting on the fence. It's either you stand by your culture or see it eroded by a foreign culture albeit, in the guise of religious doctri e.

Then why are you now crying since you aren't from oyo

lagonovo:
All true but Ibadan own was recently created compared with real traditional ones like Oyo's and Olubadan position was a Baale. The main Yoruba Obas have been in existence for several centuries.

Alaafin through backdoor

The Oyomesi and the traditional institutions were completely sidelined

Seyi Makinde and CAN now appoint traditional rulers for Oyo state

Shouldn't this have been done at his palace?

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.

Lukman Gbadegesin's mother is Fulani. That's why Sokoto and Ilorin went all out to support him. His100% loyalty to Yoruba land was already in doubt.

otipoju:
According to an interview of Prof Wande Abimbola the kingmakers had been compromised with bribes. Their Head gave the other four a tiny fraction of the hefty bribes he was given to share with them. This cheating made two of them backout and renege on their support and alert the governor.

The governor now implored Prof Wande to consult the Ifa oracle on their behalf as per original ancient tradition and this Prince was chosen. The governor ratified his selection and promptly gave him the staff of office.

Your would know that this issue is a nationwide) constitutional problem but you are too dull to realise this.

Konquest:
Professor Wande Abimbola (who was the two-term Vice Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife) is also an internationally respected Ifa Priest (or Babalawo). If he said all that in the interview which I haven't heard yet, then this is credible enough for the new King (Abimbola Owoade) to take charge.

It's really unkind that court cases get to determine who becomes the Oba among the ruling houses in some Yoruba kingdoms. The ratification of the kingmakers after Ifa divination must be standard procedure and not otherwise.

The in-fighting between the Oyomesi and the Bahsorun's greed paved the way for Engr Oba Owoade's emergence as the Alaafin of Oyo designate.

I don't roll that way.
