Are you Yoruba? If the answer is No! Stop taking Panadol for someone else's headache.
Who told you that they are quarreling? How has that information benefited your destiny?

It's all about superiority between both of them.
However, the Ooni was made to speak first , before the Alaafin.
This has been playing out on most occasions that both parties are present.
Ooni is always recognized to speak for the Yoruba race.
Thank God that Pa Adebutu settled both of them at his 90th birthday. I hope it ends there.
Who told you there was any fight? It's a normal grudge between the two Royal Custodians of the Yoruba Race. If you were born in the 70's, you will understand that both their Predecessors had similar experiences between them. I can tell you this because I witnessed it first hand before they finally embraced each other during the Coronation of the Current Olofa of Offa in Kwara State. So, rest easy and stop promoting a grudge that has no foundation.

There was a mild drama at the 90th birthday of Baba Ijebu yesterday between the Alaafin of Oyo and The Ooni of Ife.

It seems both of them have beef with each other as the Ooni of Ife passed the microphone to the Alaafin of Oyo with his left hand.

In response the Alaafin instructed his aide to wrap the mic with handkerchief before receiving it.

I don't know the cause of their quarrel but I think such displays should be discouraged.

I keep saying it
Dividing Nigeria wont solve our issue.
Imagine a Yoruba nation today and someone from ife is President, egba, oyo, ijebu etc people will never see themselves as one

Yorubas are one and united , thats why Awolowo and Akintola loved each other and never fought for one day around the 1960s, that's why I love Yorubas cool


Igbos are not United and Igbos don't even love themselves, that's why Igbos refused to vote for Peter Obi in 2023 and that's why Igbos don't want Nnamdi Kanu released shocked
you are right that, Hausa too, na dem dey betray themselve pass, in fact Africa is not united that is why Beans is now more expensive than palm oil grin

I think king should have juju that will neutralize any juju by another party, You don’t need to use handkerchief to cover the microphone before the juju function, mere holding the microphone should neutralize it.

If Yoruba nation exist today, it wont be different from the current Nigeria and it cut across all major tribes.

Alaafin is too petty and proud
Ooni is not on the same level with him

Ooni is left handed, no drama here, except for this Canadian man as usual.

I blamed the invitee who knew these two monarch are having issue with each other should not be invited at once for such gathering. The baba who is 90 years should have known better these two refused to grow up monarch are not on the same page.

Seriously I'm a bit disappointed in this Alaafin who came the throne and his only assignment is to fight Ooni a fellow monarch pls I can't understand. A young man these bittered over uncessary supremacy.

Then invest that energy in one Nigeria because tribalism will still reign supreme whether is Yoruba nation o, igbo or hausa nation if the real issue is not dealt with collectively which is leadership.
It is just traditional they are dragging now, imagine as a country, before u know it, u will start hearing Aworis should leave our Ijebu land🤣

Monarchy is a joke in Yoruba land. They don't actually understand how it works. They are practicing it as one of the numerous things they learned from our great Bini kingdom.

Ewuare should quickly organized kingship tutorial for these unlearned men.

No
We have a problem and the problem is bad leadership not tribalism.
An Ekiti men has been ruling Ekiti, why are they embezzling instead of repairing and developing their state. Same goes to sokoto, ebonyi, edo etc
The earlier Nigeria leave all these tribal bigotry and start facing the real issue, that is when Nigeria will start seeing changes.
And i am sorry, dividing Nigeria will only create fragmented countries of same Nigeria issue

And some of my Yoruba people want me to support a Yoruba republic that these two might lead?
Ooni is the father of the alaafin. Alafin is the administrative leader of the Yoruba. Uts not hard at all. No need for the beefing. The alaafin should humble himself.

Wait till you get to Heaven..

I can never be tribalistic
I didn't choose my tribe, i didnt choose my parent before coming to this world.
So tribalism will never make sense to me.

Developed countries managed their differences and use it as strength instead of Weakness. That is what i am advocating. Our diversity is supposed to be our strength.
Imagine Yorubas joining igbos, hausas and other tribes in holding Tinubu accountable, Tinubu will be forced to do the right thing cos govt is supposed to be about the people.
Imagine all local govt in ur states holding ur governor accountable, he will do the right thing.
Imagine all local communities holding local govt chairman in their local accountable, they will be forced to do the right thing.
In china today, a convicted corrupt govt official is sentence to death. Imagine implementing such law in Nigeria, nobody will steal again.

Many have tried doing "that" themselves and some are now fertilising the earth. So if you want me to join them you can come do to me what Ifon Osun and Ilobu are doing to each other.

Pity, though, is you think "things are like that" when things shouldn't be like that. If two Yoruba towns formed by supposed relatives are killing each other, I can just about imagine how we'd behave towards the non-yorubas in our communities.

The real Yoruba Empire that is recognized the world over is the Oyo Empire headed by Alafin of Oyo. Oni of Ife is actually not meant to be King but a spiritual leader, the Chief priest of the Yorubas.
