Iyaloja here, iyaloja there. Abi she no go school? Why can't she go to professional associations? Did they woman go to school at all? Make she go professional association where her competence will be scrutinised.

TempleHouse:
This Oba of Benin should be reminded that the appelate "OBA" is derived from Ile-Ife in Yoruba land.

He should not allow Yoruba people to invoke the spirit of Oduduwa to take his title from him.

He should thread with caution 🔥

Orunmila is still trying to pacify the god for him when he married the same twins which is abomination in Yoruba land.

Stop that at once. The word "Oba" is original to Benin.

Her iyaloja title can't be for the whole 36 state. Maybe Lagos and southwest

Are you sure you understand what read or you just allowed Sahara to use your head?
The Oba didn't say she is not Iyaloja, "Iyaloja" is a Yoruba word, the Benin variant is "iyeki" which implies that Mrs. Folashade could be referred to as Iyeki General, while she on the soil of Benin Kingdom. That's neither rejection nor confrontation, as Sahara wants you to believe, but a simple call for cultural respect and acceptance.

It's not about folashade calling herself iyaloja in bini soil it's about referring to one woman in bini iyeki general which the said their is no such thing as iyeki general cause each market has 1 iyeki that represents each market so nobody can be iyeki general over all the markets in bini like tinubu daughter is iyaloja over all markets in Lagos

Maybe She Can Be The Iyaloja of The 6 Yoruba States , Since The Oba Has Bluntly Cleared Her That Edo is a No Go Area For Her , Edo Will Serve As a Template To Other States In South South That The Region is a No Go Area For Her, Nice One From The Oba.

AndroBlaze:
To be honest, there are too many ridiculous and redundant titles in Nigeria and well done to the Oba of Benin telling her properly their custom

Like National Leader of APC - a title not recognized in the party constitution.

illicit:
She is the iyaloja of the 36 states in Nigeria and the FCT

And Togo, Benin, Bini, Cuba, Oyotunji California...

make she come do the iyaloja for Benin make we see na!

But you read the party when he said that there is nothing like Iyeki general and every Iyeki or market is independent to each other. Continue

. It seems you ignored the part where the oba told her that the palace chooses and control each iyeki who has a role to play on each market and that each market is independent of the other. Where will Tinubu fall in?

Man we really have a problem with comprehension in this country...he said there is no overall head in benin culture, each market has its own head unlike lagos where iyaloja is the head of all the market..in benin culture each market has its head and their power does not extend beyond the market they head.

Tinubus daughter don carry their colonisation and expansionist agenda go Bini kingdom

Power intoxicated the Tinubus in Nigeria. Even northern military dictators were never intoxicated by power this Tinubus' level.

True, but the palace chief went ahead to clarify that they’s no general iyeki in Benin. Meaning she can’t be iyeki (or iyaloja) over all markets in Benin.

You lack understanding. She was told that there can't be Iteki general in Benin land and that every market has their own iyeki that's independent of any other and are selected by the market women themselves and approved by the oba.
So she can't be Iyeki general and no one can be such.
She can't appoint any Iyeki as the market women select by themselves.
So her bid to appoint an Iyeki general is not allowed as it's alien to Benin land

Did read the part he said that the Iyeki in Oba Market can't control other Iyekis in other markets. There's nothing like Iyeki General

Sorry

Tell her

Mindlog:
You are the one, low in understanding.

The Oba said the title, iyeki general does not exist in Bini culture, that each market has their own iyeki, not under another iyeki.

Lol, he knows what he's doing.

Benin people will never accept that in their culture.

Even in Yoruba land there is nothing like iyaloja of Lagos but iyaloja of Lagos island market period..Alhaja mogaji was not iyaloja general of Yoruba land she was a prominent women leader in Awolowo's party ,a follower of fela's mum Mrs Ransom kuti...iyaloja of Lagos island cannot be iyaloja of even ikorodu..it's absurd..Oba of Lagos island is not the Oba of isolo or ikorodu all Oba have their iyalode and iya loja...iyalode is mostly appointment by the Oba but the iya loja mostly by the market women themselves.

Taa...stop deceiving yourself. Go and read the story properly. The Oba emphasized the independence of each Iyeki and their unique spiritual roles in the markets. Your iyaloja cannot function that same way.

You are, however, free to twist it anyhow you want to soothe your bruised ego.

nedu666:
So after tinubu tenure, will she remain iya loja

No she won't. But during Tinubu tenure, she go don ransack money.

bolaayenimo:
The lady get mind sha. Went to Benin to inaugurate Iyaloja. Even her grandma who gave her the title didn't try that

Na Tinubu send her.
