They would rather not go. That of Ede is probably unaware of some royal etiquettes or a allegly a stooge.
One of the reason why some kings don't leave their palace or just visit anyhow event is because of see finish like this.

Yorubas are slaves to the Fulanis, we have said that countless times

Instead of Ronu people to put their house in order they keep attacking the Ibos as their enemies

The hausas and Ilorin people are already conquered, Osun people should be careful before it is too late

It means religious emir have more power over religious ones. I dont know why Nigerian traditional leaders like mixing Muslim and Christian religion with their traditional one when they are suppose to be the custodian of their traditional religion and culture. This is what happens when you sell your birth rights for foreign religion . Maybe soon we will hear how the Oni of Ife bowed down to Amir of Sokoto!

From the time they said rumour of Sharia in Oyo to when one Alaafin appointee was rejected because he offered N15m bribe to their kingmakers and now that another one was appointed, Timi loose guard.
Yeye updates like this doesn't come from other region and that place should conduct themselves with respect.

I think Timi of Ede could not stand so long that's why he had to sit down. The palace should have offered him a sit
Mr Biodun don't let the ancestors of ya people slap you in the dream.
That palace was psychologically designed to suppress visitors be it king or steward.
It's Timi that lacked royal etiquettes. King no dey travel anyhow.

He was kneeling to support himself to greet the Emir

The fault lies with the Emir and his protocol officers who should have had a seat close by for the Timi since they claim he can't stand up to greet his visitors

What I see there is tardiness on the part of the Ilorin palace and their Emir

And what kind of shabby reporting is this. That's the Emir's palace and his throne room not just a "hall" and that's not a social function

Helinues is Timi not the title of Oba of Ede?
Probably you're a northern pîglét or a Yoruba slave.
Ya region is being desecrated and abused. What all Yorubas should do now is to focus on unity and a common fora on portraying themselves as masters of their domain and food examplento int'l world.

1. Sharia law was almost sneakly brought to Oyo few weeks ago https://punchng.com/just-in-islamic-group-makes-u-turn-postpones-sharia-court-unveiling-in-oyo/

2. A first class king of Ede in Osun State from that region goofed to greet another ruler

3. There was tussle in choosing new Alaafin. One was said to be a fullhanneee stooge and wanted to bribe Oyomesi with N15m to become king through backdoor. https://thenationonlineng.net/alaafin-makinde-vows-to-prosecute-chiefs-accused-of-bribery-in-gbadegesin-selection/

https://nigerianpanorama.com/news/lukman-gbadegesin-offered-n15m-bribery-to-ascend-throne-oyomesi-alleges/

4. After Tinubu won election in 2023, there was first stupîd rewriting of story of Oduduwa was from Benin and other untrue gibberish from the allege land of vexation.

5. There is fake love btw southwest and southeast from time of Zik and Awo which was more widened after the 2023 election.

6. As a political analyst, Yorubas should focus on cohesion of their homeland especially from religious disruption like sharia that was in the news few months ago. The evil ones love to disrupt peaceful places. We don dey read news of terrorists moving there.

From Damaturu here we dey read news of wetin dey happen. https://tribuneonlineng.com/fear-of-terrorism-grips-south-west/amp/

Make una wise up. All una governors and kings must take their people's interests first.
@Padipadi

Indeed, I was surprised seeing the moniker that you quoted typing incorrectly that the Timi of Ede isn't an Oba. The Timi of Ede (David "Davido" Adeleke's hometown) is an Oba. All Obas of Yoruba descent in places such as Usen (The Olu Aware of Usen) in Ovia South West LGA of Edo State, to Kwara and Kogi States in North Central Nigeria, to the South West of Nigeria, right into Benin Republic and Togo ALL have local kingship titles based on their geographical locations, but they are all Obas of the various kingdoms.

Second, your #4 bullet point is incorrect. I have decades of advanced knowledge in this field of historical research. The Oba of Benin Palace's revisionist history of Oduduwa did NOT start in 2023 but it started back in the early 2000s (2004) from the time of Oba Erediauwa of Benin who is the biological father of the current Oba Ewuare II. Fortunately the so-called Ekaladerhan story was debunked as a FABRICATION by the Ogiamien family who are descended from the Ogiso era before the Oranmiyan Dynasty started in Benin over 800 years ago. Ekaladerhan was NEVER a missing prince from the Ogiso era. The real Ekaladerhan died at Ugboton. These interviews granted by the Ogiamien family representative in Guardian newspaper in 2018 and elsewhere are still online and can be read in the links right BELOW. It was political reasons that led the Palace under Oba Erediauwa of Benin to come up with that misleading piece of junk in form of a now discredited book! The Oba of Benin's Palace owes the over 60 million people of Yoruba descent worldwide and the whole world a major apology for those historical fabrications which have lowered them in the eyes of discerning folks who do NOT compromise on facts. The history of Benin Empire, Ile Ife and Oyo Empire are popular internationally and these kinds of fabrications led to confusions for a lot of people and students searching for genuine historical information online.


1] Ogiso and Ogiamien are Aborigine Binis while Oba Of Benin is of Yoruba origin
=>https://guardian.ng/features/ogiso-and-ogiamien-are-aborigine-binis-while-oba-of-benin-is-of-yoruba-descent-high-chief-esotericist-monday-wehere/

2] Ogiamien Vs Oba of Benin: Royal rumble ends
=>https://tribuneonlineng.com/ogiamien-vs-oba-of-benin-royal-rumble-ends/


A second major BLOW to that fabricated Benin Palace story which again corroborates the accuracy of Yoruba history comes from Usen (formerly called Ife Kekere) located in Edo State near Benin which currently has the Olu Aware of Usen, Oba Oluogbe on the throne and he is who is a direct descendant of Afelogiyan (Oranmiyan's biological older brother). Both Oranmiyan and Afelogiyan were Oduduwa's grandsons (NOT sons as incorrectly stated by the current Oba of Benin) and Oduduwa was originally from Oke Ora just 8 miles away from the current Ufe (Ile Ife) before he arrived in Ife over 900 years ago (which already had people existing there who are the direct ancestors of the current Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom in the oil-and-gas rich Ilaje area of Ondo State). This is the reason why during the coronation ceremonies every Ooni of Ife has to go to Oke Ora, just 8 miles from Ife where Oduduwa originally hailed from. According to the articles and advanced works of the great historians Prof. Jide Osuntokun and Prof. Banji Akintoye, there were already several autochtonous communities in Yorubaland centuries before Oduduwa was born, so, he wasn't the ORIGINAL ancestor of all Yorubas of today. He is just the direct ancestor OR progenitor of the major Kings of Yoruba descent from Usen in Edo, Olu of Warri in Itsekiriland, to the Oba of Benin, right into the other parts of Yorubaland in North Central and South West of Nigeria, including the Yoruba-speaking areas of Benin Republic and Togo.

The people of Usen, Egbeta and Utese in Ovia South West LGA of Edo State have NEVER denied their Ile Ife ancestry and the family greetings or salutations where ever they are is "delauhe" meaning "how is Ufe or Ife?). A well respected gentleman granted a video interview where he CLEARLY stated that Usen plays a MAJOR role in the coronation ceremony of every Oba of Benin and he stated bluntly that all the traditional titles such as the Ile Ife High Chief title of Asogbon which is also used in Usen and called Esogban in Benin and more in the Palace of the Oba of Benin and Yoruba deities such as Ogun, Osun, Olowu, etc, that you find in Benin are ALL from Ile Ife in the current Osun State. Even in Benin, the lineages that trace their direct paternal family roots to Ufe (Ife) use "delauhe" as their unique morning family salutations. The Oba of Benin is greeted with the salutation "lamogun" which refers to Ogun, the Yoruba deity of War and Iron. The Oba is the only one who is greeted with "lamogun."

In fact the Oduduwa Dynasty is the 3rd Dynasty and other dynasties existed before Oduduwa indicating that Yorubaland had been settled by the ancestors of Yorubas for thousands of years based off of archaeological evidence and this fact can be gleaned from the works and articles of the respected historian and former Nigerian ambassador to Germany, Prof. Jide Osuntokun and Prof. Banji Akintoye. It was from Usen in Ovia South West LGA of Edo State that Oranmiyan went to what is now Benin over 800 years ago to become the FIRST ever Oba. As we know from history, he later left Benin for Ufe (Ife) [and even established Oyo Kingdom which rose to become the mighty Oyo Empire] after having a son (Oba Eweka) from an aboriginal daughter of a noble man and Eweka became the second Oba of Benin. So, paternally the Obas of Benin descended from an Ife (Yoruba) paternal lineage through Oranmiyan but have direct maternal roots to the aboriginal people.
