LAGOS— FOLLOWING the renewed supremacy battle between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, yesterday, sued for peace, saying Yoruba land cannot afford to be divided.

This came on a day Dotun Sanusi, yesterday, clarified that he was installed as Okanlomo Oodua and not Okanlomo of Yorubaland by the Ooni Ogunwusi.

Also, the International Council for Ifa Religion, ICIR, yesterday, urged both traditional rulers to resolve their ongoing seniority dispute.

The President of the Traditional Religion Worshipper Association, TRAWSO, in Osun State, Dr Oluseyi Atanda, yesterday, disclosed that the supremacy battle between the Alaafin Ooni is not a new phenomenon.

Recall that a supremacy battle erupted between the two monarchs following a 48-hour ultimatum issued by the Alaafin to the Ooni to withdraw the Chieftaincy title of Okanlomo of Yorubaland conferred on a business mogul, Dotun Sanusi.

The ultimatum was, however, described as an empty threat by Ooni’s spokesperson, Mr Moses Olafare.

However, breaking his silence on the dispute, the Aare Ona Kakanfo, Iba Adams, said he has reached out to the two monarchs to resolve the supremacy dispute and sustain the peace in Yorubaland.

He also added that some Yoruba elders are wading into the matter to resolve it.

When contacted to comment on the matter, Adams said: “In my capacity as the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, I, Iba Gani Adams, have reached out to some Yoruba elders on the matter.

“The aim is to rally them to intervene in the growing tension between the two Imperial Majesties, the Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo.

“The two monarchs are our pride in Yorubaland and indeed in Africa. We cannot afford to have disunity among them.


“I have reached out to the two revered monarchs in Africa and palaces, that the issue should be resolved amicably, and we should sustain peace in Yorubaland.

“Yorubaland is undergoing some pockets of insecurity now. The two prominent monarchs have roles to play in all these, and we cannot afford to allow external enemies to infiltrate us. If there is no crack in the wall, the lizard cannot penetrate it.”

I was conferred Okanlomo Oodua, Sanusi clarifies

Following the uproar that greeted his conferment, Jubril Dotun Sanusi has clarified that he was officially installed as Okanlomo Oodua and not Okanlomo of Yorubaland by Oba Ogunwusi.

Sanusi, who wrote on his Facebook handle, said: “I am deeply honoured to announce that I have been officially conferred the title, Okanlomo Oodua, by His Imperial Majesty, Oba Eniitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife.

Useless titles...na politicians dey give these organisations relevance..men after their belly disguising as guardian of tradition and history.

Spandau:
Look Kadoso, you were saying the right thing until you stated an obvious lie. Ibadan was not defeated. It was a stalemate and the British eventually brokered peace. E ye ma a paro mo.

Ekiti fought for freedom and they achieved just that. Ibadan fought to continue their imperialism and they couldn’t achieve it. For us in Ekiti, it was a total and complete victory.

Nonsense even Olugbon dare not speak such abomination.
Omo Ile ibo ni e ni Ogbomosho?.
So who is Soun Ogunlola?
I hope Ghadhi is not the one pushing you guys to commit suicide?, Alafin o se ri fin o.
All of una should go to the Nigerian high commission archives in UK, the place is the Western Nigerian house before amalgamation of 1914.
Alafin is the owner of the land, that was why he was the one the British discussed with, he was the one who signed for the Yoruba people.
You see how big Yoruba land is, even beyond Nigeria in the West coast, you think it just happened like that, the size of Yoruba land today is to the credit of the Alafins of old, give them their flowers.
And for your information, only Ilorin was lost to the Fulani, the remaining Yoruba lands are intact.
Only Ilorin Emir wears Turban in Kwara state, the remaining kings are still wearing their crowns, so be informed.

Oyo Ile closer to Niger state was destroyed by Fulani. The Alaafin fled south and the Soun gave him lands and that's were the current Oyo is.

2. I have added some real archives documents for you since you did not present one.
