The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Engineer Abimbola Akeem Owoade I, has issued a stern warning to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, over the recent conferment of the chieftaincy title of Okanlomo of Yorubaland on Ibadan business mogul, Engineer Dotun Sanusi.




In a statement signed by his Director of Media and Publicity, Bode Durojaiye, the Alaafin described the Ooni’s action as a direct affront to his authority as the Paramount Ruler and Superior Head of Yorubaland, demanding the immediate revocation of the title within 48 hours.




" The attention of the Alaafin of Oyo and the Titan of Yorubaland , Oba Engineer Abimbola Akeem Owoade 1, has been drawn to the purported conferment of chieftaincy title of OKANLOMO of Yorubaland on a business tycoon, Dotun Sanusi, by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

The conferment of chieftaincy title which bothers on Yorubaland by the Ooni of Ife is not only an affront to the referred institution of the Alaafin who is the Titan of Yorubaland and on who hold Exclusive right to confer any chieftaincy title which covers the entire Yorubaland on anyone

The Ooni of Ife is behaving as if there is no Authority to check and call him to order and because of that "above the law" syndrome of his, he is in the habit of walking on everybody’s' back including the apex Court in the country, the Supreme Court, which had ruled on the Exclusive preserve of the Alaafin to confer chieftaincy title that covers the entire Yorubaland on anyone.

The instrument of office presented to Oba Ogunwusi, during his installation, specifically limits his Traditional area of authority to Oranmiyan Local Government which has now been split into three Local Governments, viz: Ife Central, Ife North and Ife South.

The dictum that nobody is above the law of the land is now being put to a crucial test and the reality of our time makes it very obligatory for the Alaafin to call the Ooni of Ife to order and demand REVOCATION of the so- called OKANLOMO of Yorubaland chieftaincy title conferred on Engineer Dotun Sanusi WITHIN 48 HOURS or face the consequences

It is a statement of fact that during the Alaafin's unity tour to Yoruba monarchs, he reiterated his message that there could not be development without unity.

Oba Owoade had told the gathering that ""it is the joy of our forefathers for us to be in unity and they did their part in ensuring peace and unity in Yorubaland; we must also strive to achieve this. God Himself is involved in our matter therefore we must always, at all times, be concerned about the peace and unity of Yorubaland. We say we want development, but no meaningful and sustainable development will come without peace and unity"".

But it seems the Ooni of Ife is misconceiving the Alaafin , Paramount with the Heart of Gold, and his peace initiative, as as the symbol of his stimulity, hence taking taking decisions that are not only Ultra vires, but derogatory to the Titan of Yorubaland .

Alaafin of Oyo wey no get army.
Ooni of Ife sef no get army to fight.
Na spiritual war dem go fight.


it is ironic that while claiming territorial jurisdiction and superiority, both kings are under the authority of their state governors who are also under the authority of the President.

In a corporate setting both of them are like supervisors who report to managers who in turn return the Managing Director.

Sadly enough even as supervisors, they have no real power. Wether administrative or political...kings wey governors dem fit give sack letter like Sanusi.

I don't really believe this news ..the two paramount ruler in yoruba should exercise diplomacy

This one just sat down in his room to type this fake thing.

Is the Alaafin of Oyo aware he made this statement??

Alaafin is being unnecessarily arrogant. If not for civilization, the Ooni would have ordered that they should go and bring his head
The paramount throne of the Paramount king of Yoruba land is at Ile Ife, which was the throne of Oduduwa. So how can Alaafin claim superiority over Ooni?
He chop winch?

But i bet this is fake

This Oyo king dey flex muscle with Ooni, he should change his advisers

otipoju:
Alaafin of Oyo wey no get army.
Ooni of Ife sef no get army to fight.
Na spiritual war dem go fight.

But i bet this is fake

I don't think it's fake, them duh dey fight this fight dey come since January this year. Oyo people normal normal like causing trouble

Alaafin is not fighting or agitating for factory or industry In Oyo like we have in Lagos or Ibadan. The only university in that town is owned by missionary. No tangible development in that town.

A so called former empire. He shud take a look at fellow historical empire city states like Rome and London and see how highly developed they're. But this naive king isn't seeing in that direction,he's instead busy fighting for supremacy with the Ooni, someone that' has left him behind in the ranks. The fact that Obafemi Awolowo university is located in Ife and not Oyo is enough to convince to tell anyone that Ooni is not Alaafin mate in all ramifications. Alaafin is waving at an already departed bus. Mk him rest.

Oba Engineer...

This title cracked me up 🤣

Then sorry to say, the king has gone mad

They know the history, they just like to feign ignorance
Oyo may have been a very powerful kingdom politically and militarily but Ife is the cradle and throne of Yoruba and Ooni is the head

If na in the year 1780...Dem don dey beat the drums of war by now.
