Let's Be Realistic , The OYO MESI are the Kingmakers , It's an Old Tradition...

Why Must the Governor Be the KingMaker ..

Na waooo

So the oyomesi cannot compromise?

Biodun556:
Seyi Makinde is a useless governor.


He could as well take over the the jobs of medical doctors in a state owned hospital if he thinks he is right for taking over the job of the Oyo mesis and imposed a candidate on them

How will governor in his right sense be consulting ifa priests to choose a king sidelining the king makers completely

Rest, Islamist rest

Must you bring your Islam into everything

Everyone should just calm down

YeyeGbami:
Governors get the power to appoint kings. If oyomesi don collect money make dem go return am

You are wrong. Governors lack the power to appoint kings

why are they challenging the authority of the governor?

Biodun556:
If the governor has candidate, he should have invited the king makers and reach compromise with them.

Whether the king makers receive money or not is nobody's business after all Seyi Makinde himself knows how much he spent before he became governor.

King installation happens ones in a while sometimes 50 years interval. So charging money is not a crime. It is their office.

Just see the rubbish this guy is writing
Very corrupt mongrel
So it's money they use to select Alaafin in your own Yoruba culture

MT:
It is a show of shame both from the Governor and the OyoMesi.

Tradition stipulates that the OyoMesi, who is the custodian of culture, are expected to consult the oracle who will pick the king for the city. Then, forward the name to the Governor, who will issue the certificate.

For more than 3 years that alaafin died, Oracle "refused" to talk to the OyoMesi. OyoMesi should come out to tell us why their oracle did not talk for 3 years.

Then, who passed the name to the Governor - Seyi Makinde. Why did the Makinde give certificate to a name being challenged by the OyoMesi.

This episode reveals the dirt in our society. Corruption everywhere. These people being made the king, no one cares to investigate their background. Once money changes hands, it means the oracle has spoken. Even a deportee, and an ex-convict from the US was made king in Osun, and despite the revelation, he still maintains the stool.

Get yourself properly educated
They have their preferred choice

You are clearly a corrupt person, meanwhile you spend majority of your time here defending government upandan, no wonder.

YoungLionken:
Social media is making a lot of people shameless and disrespectful. Even people, who ordinarily can't look you in the eye and say rubbish ..

The governor has been doing well, I equally trust him to do the right thing in this regard...

No let Ogun kee you oooo

emee701:
Online warrior. Go and chase him now. Foolish fool

Your father is a foolish fool and your mother is a mumu.

femi4:
Makide really messed up, interfering in Oyo king selection

but the kingmakers that collected money didnt mess up

TossTos:
Oyomesi challenging the Gov .

Like the good old days , kings were chosen by the oracle, while the likes oyomesi will see the oracle priest to upturn the real chosen king to the one they likes and Owo eyo ( Old days money ) will change hand. But now na Governors dey chose .

Is the governor in a position to say the person ifa picked?

His name is Makinde. Not Ifa. He has no right in interfering.

This local government autonomy had better stayed

tawababiola:
Governors are too powerful, that has got me worried the reason why. Can this naija constitution be reviewed?

2mch:

Worthless fool.

mastermaestro:
Leave those emotional traditionalists to keep wallowing in moribund beliefs. They are yet to know that governors are waking up to the authority they wield over traditional institutions. Soon, allocations to these traditional rulers will be slashed so much so that the kingship will become unattractive.

Don't mind those fools. They don't know that all those kings or oyomesi whatever have no say in the scheme of things

SensualMan:
Lol. These men from this region are indeed clowns. See two grown ups disgracing themselves up and down on shosho media.

I only pray for days to hasten for the emirate to take over Oyo state. When the emirate is enthroned all this nonsense will stop.
Hisbah the moral police will be there to regulate the lives of all these urchins in that region.

by establishing more ile kewu across the Yoruba land,and imposed more sharia law and imposed iman,that has bloodline of alimi.

So Makinde is not corrupt? He didn't pay political thugs and godfathers before he became governor?

I am not talking about Makinde, I am talking about YOU openly supporting corruption and saying it's no big deal. Haba. And we want this nation to progress?

If you want to become king you must have money. No need of pretending

When Ooni was about to be selected, the king makers made it known in the media that contestants must must be rich

You can't be contesting for the stool of Alaafin and don't want to spend

No pretence

So it's about who spends the most and gets the throne by out paying the others for it?! Incredible. No wonder our cultural values have been thrown out of the window.
I'm glad you are at least open about the kind of mindset you have, for the records.
