This Alaafin will be feeling like and be looking for way of getting at Ooni

Yes, Alaafin is nobody's mate. Shikena!

Biodun556:
When you talk about influence, no monarch is as influential as Alaafin. Oyo empire is gone but the legacy is still there till tomorrow. Larger percent of Yoruba Obas are solidly behind Alaafin.

Oga this cap na wyning...
Na relationship wey dey between them caused this one and besides "what percentage of the Yoruba's knows Gabriel iIgbinedo?
This present alaafin has always been about influence since he emerge the throne of his ancestors but truthfully there's more expected of a KING than chasing superiority among many others..
NB
I'm Yoruba from oyo township

LagosOrigin:
Chief Gabriel igbinedion is superior to him so alaafin should go there and pay respect to his superior .

Alaafin even put statue of Jesus Christ in his palace ..
Well, it's good thing that he recognized Jesus Christ as his lord and savior.

That's not the palace of Alaafin. The Alaafin visited Esama in Benin

runningriot:
The question is is the throne the Alaafin sitting on not for his Royal Highness Chief Gabriel? It was the Alafin that visited Benin and out of respect the Oba of Benin relinquished his throne to the Alaafin as a mark of symbolic respect and cultural affiliation to the Oyo empire. So the throne with Jesus' statue is not for the Oyo king Alaafin Owoade.

That's the residence of the Esama of Benin and not the Oba's palace

Please,leave the small boy called ' Lagos Origin' - actually he is Not from Lagos State but from Hates and Bitter landscape but they always play Negative.
Just go and check his history.
Many of them are on Social Media everywhere,so it's not new to some of us!

There was this cordial relationship between the Igbinedion and Oyo stool if you remember Chief Igbinedion usually will send a private jet down to Alaafin Adeyemi to ferry the monarch to Benin for his birthday. More years in good health condition sir

Oonirisa is Alaafins boss

Praktikals1000:
Oonirisa is Alaafins boss

No.
He is not. He is not even Oba Modakeke's boss.

thesicilian:
A chief in Benin kingdom is superior to the Alaafin of Oyo? Even if you didn't do social studies or history in secondary school, at least you have access to the internet now. What is your excuse for this unbridled display of ignorance?

Why are you fabricating lies and you're packaging it with social studies.

Benin was an empire while Oyo was also an empire, both never invades one another. Their chiefs are all same on ranks while their kings share mutual respect for themselves. Oyo Empire was the only empire emanated from the southern Nigeria that ruled from her base to Dahome in Benin Republic, to Togo, some part of Ghana and Burkina Faso within 14th to 17th century.

Nonsense. You must be high on something.
The throne of Oba of Benin is higher and senior to that of Alaafin, not to even mention the throne of Ooni who is far superior to your Alaafin .

Which one be solidly behind alaafin??

We the yorubas are behind all our obas...

But Oonirisha is the primary custodian of our culture not alaafin.

Remember that Oranmiyan had to leave alaafin throne for his son to go wrestle for the Ooni throne in ife, that should tell you more about how powerful the ooni throne is.

Stop this show of shame na.
That pictures was at Esama's residence and not the Alaafin's palace.

Stop misinforming people

And a white Jesus is right next to him smh.

owobokiri:
You guys should stop fouling the whole atmosphere with all these balderdash about some inebriated set of mu-ta-nts parading around as "royals". This is supposed to be a democracy and as such, all these worn out stools led by some bemused and overdressed up-starts, should be abolished and the occupants banished..

Even my home church celebrated her centenary anniversary in 2001 (Founded in 1901. Christianity in Nigeria is older than 100 years.

Globad:
How did you arrive at 100s of years for Christianity?

All these Nigerians kings and pride without any iota of positive innovations to develop their communities are 5&6.

The comparison is between a chief in Benin and the Alaafin of Oyo, not between 2 kings or kingdoms. To understand social studies or history one must first learn to understand English language.

Does he have to go everywhere he’s invited?
What are they looking for in places they don’t respect them? Let these Obas start giving themselves some respect by refusing to go to non Yoruba events.
The disrespect is too much, why do we still need these disgraceful Obas around.

You can compare him to your houseboy sef, he deserved it.
When you attend Poo event, you get the waste smudge to the face.

How is that up to 100s of years?

Or is English language the problem?

MichaelSokoto:
Esama wan cause another round of wahala between him and Oba again.

He know wetin him dey do..I doubt the Esama and the Oba has met ever before.

English is not my language, it's not my mother's tongue. Non of the Benin's chiefs can be compare with Alafin.

Hence, Oba Alafin of Oyo and Oba of Benin are in same level, the same Oranmiyan that established Obadhip in Benin also established that of Oyo too after he left Ile-Ife which was the cradle of Yoruba race.

We're on the same page.

Globad:
When Oyo empire collapsed, which states of cities took over in Yorubaland?

Oyo collapses when it was burnt down by Ilorin but Ibadan grew and resuscitated the empire. It was from Ibadan that the British took the twins. A civil war broke out and for seventeen years Ibadan was not able to put it down. The Yoruba leaders including the Alaafin wrote the British to come and settle it.
