Olubadan Snubs Alaafin At An Oyo State Function. by Amotolongbo(op): 5:02pm On Jan 12
A charged atmosphere gripped the Oyo Annual Inter-Faith Service today as Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, the Olubadan of Ibadan, appeared to publicly rebuff a handshake from Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, the Alaafin of Oyo, sparking whispers of deepening tensions between two of Yorubaland’s most revered monarchs.

Eyewitnesses at the high-profile event, held at a prominent venue in Oyo, described the moment as palpably awkward.

As dignitaries mingled during the service’s ceremonial close, Oba Owoade extended his hand in a traditional gesture of respect and camaraderie toward Oba Ladoja.

The Olubadan, however, saw turning away without reciprocating, leaving the Alaafin momentarily isolated amid a sea of shocked onlookers.

The snub comes amid longstanding rivalries between the ancient stools of Oyo and Ibadan, rooted in historical power struggles and disputes over primacy in Yoruba traditional hierarchy.

Oba Ladoja, a former Senator and governor of Oyo State, has long asserted the Olubadan’s supremacy, while Oba Owoade, recently installed as Alaafin, has championed Oyo’s imperial legacy.

Gone are the days people looked up to Royalty with awe.

Politics is not helping too.

This country is too divided. We need to find common grounds. Lets be constructive not destructive. It will be well.

Normally, shey dem dey do handshake before western tradition came into the country?

Maybe Olubadan was expecting another gesture.

Though Olubadan was pissed up with the approach by Allafin puffin himself as the leader of all southwestern traditional leaders, what complicated the hatred is Alaafin having to install Seyi Tinubu as the Okanlomo of Yorubaland after Olubadan’s ally, Dotun Sanusi was made the Okanlomo Odua by the Ooni.

Na the fight with Soun of Ogbomoso and Olubaban of Ibadan go finally reset Alaafin brain concerning Ooni.

Ooni is not his mate, he should focus on those ones instead.

Alaafin online supporters have been disrespecting Ooni since he was crowned. It's good that someone is giving him a taste of this nonsense

I don't know why there's increase in rivalry among the Oba's lately, I hope they realized that their subjects are looking up to them...

Re: Olubadan Snubs Alaafin At An Oyo State Function. by Britishcoins(m): 5:27pm On Jan 12
But if you watch the video very well, you will see the olubadan did not see that handshake... Beside this new olubadan that just got colonized, he is still learning... media will always watch the dark side... Alafin of Oyo is very humble guy, pls note I am pure Igbo guy from Enugu... I don't give Bleep abt them oo, just my observation

kings and their jokes. They have reduced revered stools to nothing. Gone are the days these stools used to be very much respected; Alaafin of Oyo, Ooni of Ife, Olubadan of Ibadan. Na just wrong men in Agbada dey occupy the seats now. cheesy grin

Ma'am, honestly,I don't understand them,but all na for Selfish reasons.
They Were Appointed To Bring Greatness to Oyo and Ibadan but keep doing the Opposite.
Is this how to go to the Moon 🌙?
How many Industrial Development have these Obas- brought to the South West - for the •Youths and the MASSES - to benefits, EXCEPT -The Oni of Ife- who have been Involved in So Many Philanthropic Development - home and Abroad.
•The late Awujale - despite being very Rich, from Youthful Ages- always looking for how the IJEBUS Can Be Great- never at loggerhead with anyone and was Standing Firmly when Other Obas and Emirs - Were Watching Abacha Video Clips,in Abuja then - he told the Whole World 🌎 that it was a Big Fat Lie 🤥.
Some of these Obas- Are So Arrogant -For Nothing - because they used Money to get to the Throne!
Shameful indeed!

Really so why does pa obasanjo postrate for oni of Ife. Alafin is higher and greater than olubadan. It's not by age.

Some of you just type whatever you like and you are only giving publicity to your ignorance Oduduwa, the Yoruba deity, had just *one biological son* named Okanbi (also called Omonide). Okanbi fathered *seven children*, considered Oduduwa's grandchildren, who founded various kingdoms:
- *Olowu of Owu*
- *Onisbe of Sabe*
- *Onipopo of Popo*
- *Oba of Benin*
- *Orangun of Ila*
- *Alaketu of Ketu*
- *Alafin of Oyo
Where is Oni there
