See them claiming ownership to a place in far away USA. If some other tribes lay claims to a land in southwest now, they’ll want to bring the entire country down.

I don’t know where in history was it written that either Oyo or Ife ever conquered a land in the USA for one monarch to lay claim to such.

DeOTR:
Oyo and pride. The current Ooni is humble to a fault. I don't know why anyone would have an issue with him.

Stop this iku baba yeye nonesense! ..as if he has any control over life and death.

Heard it's a culture, not a refusal. i read that the tradition doesn't allow the Alaafin to stand up to greet anyone once he's seated. If he's not seated, he can greet anyone.

But he stood up to greet The president's wife and the governor


The new Alaafin just get baseless pride

If to sey e stand up greet Ooni, make dem exchange handshake 🤝 and hug 🫂 each other.. the picture go circulate and really go far in uniting Yorubas. But Alaafin don listen to people, taking advice from ordinary people forgetting he is Alaafin.


Ooni will always win this battle with history, humility and respect. Ooni is just a peaceful traditional ruler.

Can never happen during the time of Oba Okunade Sijuwade Olubuse II

Bovis:
The current Alaafin like some of his predecessor is trying to rewrite history by remaining seated whilst greeting the Ooni.

The image will be circulated in the future to claim his supremacy over Ooni. However, Ooni is the Arole (Heir ) of Oodua and superior. Therefore, Yoruba elders should call the young Alaafin to order before he starts another bitter rivalry between the two great thrones

dawnomike:
Well, in my opinion... this supremacy issue is thrash and rubbish.
So, let me speak about courtesy... 'A fellow high ranking king walked over to greet you; courtesy demands you stand to greet him in return as a fellow high ranking King'

But, we are in Nigeria where we like proving supremacy either in a subtle way or otherwise.

This is not only peculiar to the Yoruba kings...

If he's standing to greet governors and first ladies, then he is probably confused.

Chegesnd:
Anyways, I'm not Yoruba, but courtesy demands that Alafin should stand to greet a fellow high ranking Traditional Ruler who stretches his hand to greet.

foleskay:
Alafin no be who's mate??

The Ooni of ife's consistent manner of approaching people for handshake puts him in position to be disrespect. If you get to an event wall to your sit and sit down, you are supposed to be the king of the yoruba nation. Stop walking to up to people to stretch out your hands for handshakes.
