But Olubadan is different. He was already in the hierachy before becominggovernor.

Politicians transitioning to royalty. I don't know how that makes me feel.
That is why the Benin Monarchy has more respect than a lot of these others. The monarchy is bloodline, not ruling houses. This eliminates the possibility of political interference and hijack.

The WHOLE Yoruba kings were appointed by government powers.

None was a true king that got to power by divination.

Why they so empty and politicians mess them up when they FK

BigDick70inch:
Some people sha cum chop life.....
From ex gov to kingship nominee.....

Potential Incoming king......

He was also a Senator

This pronouncement is not good at all while we have sitting Olubadan on the throne.
Would he not be praying for the present Oba to kick the bucket so he can take over as old age is settling in.
Don't let him be like, God when now?😂😂😂😂

Every Ibadan indigene is born royal, you can decide to be in line for kingship by taking a title called “Mogaji” and if you live long enough, you can become Olubadan.

Basic123:
Single sense,you didn't make

So..no Benin royals can become governor?
Benin people and grandiose delusions

In Ibadan ,all indigens are prince,ROYAL BLOOD LINE is not restricted to a group of families.

This is very true, I am from Ibadan.

Personally, I think the monarchy system is not doing us any good. Those kings are tools in the hands of politicians. They should be scraped. There are thousands of royal homes all around Nigeria. What the heck is that?


Dey play. If the governor of Edo decides to remove your king, he is gone. Is your king more powerful than the emir of Kano that Ganduje rubbished? Is your Benin king more powerful than the Sultan of Sokoto that Abacha destroyed? The emir of Kano and Sultan of Sokoto are both bloodline thrones? What have become of them? Sultan of Sokoto that Tafawa Balewa used to consult before doing most things in those days has become what exactly now? And having two emirs in Kano is what exactly? The judiciary has to settle bloodline power tussle. Lol. Their gods cannot settle it for them? Dey play.

He is powerful go add and deal with it. You think say Edo mentality and your own equal? Make Okpebelo try am na? Mind you this status quo is being in existence for over 600 yrs

Dude, understand history and the present first.

To remove is not the issue, but the government cannot replace him. Even the British removed Ovonramwen in 1897. But they could not replace him. Until he passed on in Calabar in 1914 and his son, the crown prince became Oba.

The people will turn their back on any govt who tries it. Edo South has about 67% of Edo State voters. Not a governor with an ounce of working brain matter would even think of it. That is the difference.

In virtually everywhere else in 9ja, another ruling house member will quickly ascend the throne. There is no such in Benin. Very unique.

It took many centuries previously to refine it to how it has become in the last 500 years now.

Dude, and what part of history is loud enough to resound your Ovonram....whatever? GenZ sabi am today? Dey play.

Like the way they turned their back and destroy the Kano empire after Sanusi was dethroned. Right? You must be a kid when Abacha dethroned Dasuki. Lol. Nothing will happen.

These kings are there to serve politicians during elections. This is tje only reason they are left there, and nothing more.

How many ruling houses are there in Edo?

Yeah, GenZ needs to know that the rules for succession were not made by GenZ, so GenZ needs to learn before opening mouth Waa in public.

In Benin Kingdom, it's not by ruling house. Only the current Oba and the crown Prince matter, and the crown prince's first son, if he already has one. He is anointed crown prince the day he's born. For at least 500 years, each crown prince has survived to become king.

Kano has nothing in common with Benin. Kano was an Hausa Kingdom taken over by Fulani foreigners just about 200 years ago.

Congratulations to Olubadan Elect!

The OLUBADAN of Ibadanland Oba Rasheed ADEWOLU Ladoja, the first ex governor to become king in Nigeria.

It took Senator Ladoja 23 steps before becoming an Oba Elect cum the Oba. The Next Olubadan is already known by the indigenes, So no rocket science or manipulation in Ibadan kingship.

No younger person

He was first a Retired profound Journalist ..... politics was not his real trade, it was only a retirement pastime for service to the people ..... he was in the long line to the Obaship all his life
