The 46th Alaafin of Oyo was coronated on Saturday and the event attracted political leaders and royalties from all over west Africa. Royal Fathers present at the occasion include the Ooni of Ife, Sultan of Sokoto, Olu of Warri, Alaketu of Ketu (from Benin Republic) etc.

Curiously, vanguard newspaper in reporting the event ignored the picture of the new Alaafin and the pictures of other well recognized political and traditional leaders but choose to make the picture of fraudulent impostors and wannabe royalties from God knows where as their banner headline.

Again I ask, what’s the agenda of these people in the south west? If you’re a Yoruba person and you think this is not deliberate, you’re a big fool.

Iwa omo l’on mu omo se okigbe.

You all keep talking of agendas that exist only in your little minds and head.

This is just photo news of a news paper. Somehow you’ve found a way to read a tribal meaning to it.

If anyone wants to take your lands from you, they will do it and even if you know, you won’t be able to do anything to stop it because they will come well prepared. Just like the British did take over with superior knowledge and firepower.

Yorubas and igbo matter.
I am sure this op would not have cared if it's the picture of one sarki that was used.

Imaging BBC using the picture a self acclaimed Oba of London as the banner picture for reporting the coronation of the King Charles III?

See, we are not even talking about real kings like Obi of Onitsha here. We are talking about using the picture of impostors from the South East to represent royalties that attended the coronation. To what end? Put up a false narrative that we have Igbo kings in SW?

1) I hope you know that Sam Amuka-Pemu is an Urhobo man, born in Sapele present day Delta state.

2) I know that folks from your neck of the woods are the least travelling group in Nigeria, but you should know by now that Delta state has many ethnic groups like The Isoko, The Urhobo, The Ijaw, The Itshekiris and ofcourse the ones you fear a lot; The Great Igbos!

3) Do understand that Sam, who was born way back in the 30s, is the owner of The Vanguard Newspapers. Dude has been at the top of his profession even before your papa was born. Vanguard was founded in the 80s.., The Punch maybe in the 70s!

4) Do also understand that the same Sam Amuka-Pemu co founded The Punch Newspapers with his friends. Yes! He co founded the pro-Yoruba Punch Newspapers. Run your checks..

5) Do realise that no one in the East gives a flying toss about one primitive coronation ceremony anywhere in Nigeria. As long as that won't effect businesses that day..

6) Finally, do exorcise yourself of all your tribal demons so you can sleep easy..Take away Lagos, you have the worst cities and villages in Nigeria, worse than the far north! Why anyone would want to scoop your region and transport them to the east is what i dont understand. The "igbo chiefs" with huge caps that were shown here , are there on their own. We no send them, we no send the coronation ceremony, we no send you and ofcourse, we no send your papa..

Have a good day..

The President who is from the same Zone was absent....
His Chief of Staff was also absent
All Governors in the Zone (except the host Governor) absent from the coronation of one of the greatest if not the greatest kinship in the history of that Zone.

However, it is the photo story on a newspaper that now determines who is a fool and who is not.

Well..... I am not disappointed.

These are not the real royal fathers or what do you call them, these scavengers.

The absence of the other Yoruba Govs speaks volume. Only Ogun has an excuse as that day was Lisabi Day in Abeokuta.

Alaafin is perhaps the most powerful king in Yoruba land but it appears political interference is about to erode this strength.

..See wetin hatred dey do to baptists..

..batist..vanguard is doing your allaafin a favour..they don't recognize alaafins who are disposed to sharia panels..

..why put the picture of a "king" who takes permission from the caliphate for moon sighting..when they can use the pictures of kings who don't play second fiddle..

Igbo king or no Igbo king,an average igbo do not care.as a matter of fact,an average igbo didn't know there was a coronation.
You yorubas need to get some education, this is becoming embarrassing.

This shouldn't be an issue

Why are you people beating ethnic drum of War? Do you think it as easy as you are doing? Why do you hate the Ibos, they want to leave, you are still holding tight to them. Eronu.

So that is why they use an irrelevant unknown self acclaimed Eze Ndibo of Yorubaland as their front page for reporting the coronation of the Alaafin?

If they want to leave, why is that unknown lad carrying that rubbish on his head parading himself as “Eze of Yoruba land”?

I want to leave people but yet I still want to associate with them badly. What kind of mentality is that?

So it’s Ibo hate when people are calling out the eediocy of Vanguard news? Na so those useless Asleep TV go use one Anambra event represent Ojude Oba on live TV. It takes people dragging them before they apologized.

..not surprised being a sharia panel addict..needing permission from the caliphate..

It matters. That lad up there is not even a warrant chief in Iboland. He is just a man that went to buy crown and super glue feathers with it then wrote “Eze Xx of Yorubaland”.

Then vanguard out of every notable person in attendance went to lift his image and use it as the front page.

Ilari oba should have sent him back. You need asked, who installed him as Eze Igbo of Yorubaland. Those obas that installed them. Awon onijekuje oba ati balee.

I am still trying to understand dis....wetin concern Igbos with d crowning of a Yoruba king?

Reality3080:

You mean you are still trolling me. Stockholm syndrome is troubling your soul. If you mind say I am Ibo so be it, but your delusion is beyond responding to.

Thank God Vanguard is not owned by an Igbo man.

Those guys don’t need any Oba before they assign title to themselves.

Even in abroad, they also have that Eze Ndibo wey they dash eachother. Shey na Oba dash them that one too?

I think their lack of true kingship is what is causing them to like stuffs like this so bad.

You don’t have to be an Ibo owned organization to sow agenda. They have lot of Ibos working in their office.

The Ibo man that abused Yoruba that time was working with Vangiard as their editor. He was even seen commenting and wailing bitterly that Ibo men leave Yoruba to be dominating Afro beat.

Where are this moderators self all this tribalism should be arrested.
