Oyo owns Yorubaland no reach Ibadan o
Ibadan was never subservient

You guys dey make me laugh. What is the difference between Oyo and Ibadan? Are we not the same people?

I be Ibadan indigene but if they ask the actual tribe of most Ibadan folks, it’s still Oyo.

Alaafin Owoade should just pipe it low. We need unison now in Yorubaland and not all this useless ego stuffs.

I understand why the Olubadan didn't respond to the hand shake.

seunlayi:
This Alaafin just want to collect. If it were to be about 150yrs ago and this happened, Oyo and Ibadan people supposed to be at war this morning

When Ibadan was reigning. Oyo was like chicken then. Too cowardly

OriOko88:
Make dem shut up jare. If not for the excesses of the alaafin,who da hell Re the olubadan stakeholders to threaten the alaafin. Dem wan die??

In the middle ages,alaafin wud hv sent sango to deal with the olubadan and his stakeholders. Clowns

Just shut up. Who is alaafin. He be like say you dey craze. Where was Alaafin when Ibadan was reigning

LeeSmart:
I thought in hierarchy the alaafin is more powerful compared to the olubadan? Pls someone who's vast in yoruba history should come educate me.

Alaafin is only powerful in oyo. His power doesn't extend to Ibadan

Austraky:
Ibadan was a village to Oyo, Alaafin keeps his guest and warriors at ibadan, so than they will not admire his wives. Ibadan coined from eba odan, beside the forest. Ibadan does not have kingship, they use magaji, it was politics and civilization that makes ibadan relevant. Olubadan shun Alaafin because he sees himself as older, former governor of the state but Alaafin na him papa.

Alaafin doesn't keep his warriors at Ibadan. Which nonesense story is this. Alaafin used to use Ibadan warriors to fight his wars. Doesn't mean they are his warriors

Is it even compulsory to shake hand. The two should just greeted themselves by saying Kabiyesi o and forget about it. What is the beefing for sef.

Adeyinka90:
He could have just stand up and shake hands with ladoja..that’s rude from alaafin

Okexchange:
If your own head is ever alright, you’d rather pick a book and read rather than saying “stupid” things here. You just called yourself an Ijebu now, do you ever wonder why you also call yourself “Yoruba” too and who actually owns the identity.

The Ijebus are not Yorubas. Even the last Awujale said it. That they came from Sudan and the Middle East. Reno Omokri said they are the Jebus that King David defeated in the Bible. Now that land is called Jerusalem. After the defeat they migrated to their present location in Nigeria.

You can verify online.

Please before you insult me. It’s what I saw and read. Lol

Muntula. You must be a kid talking in elders forum. Where was alaafin when Ibadan was reigning? Who even founded Ibadan if not for alafin. Ibadan that was founded in 1804 or something na him u dey compare to the great alafin of the Oyo empire. You must be on some cracks

Goodvibes007:
Oyo does not own Yorubaland. The Yorubaland in question is not the present day Yorubaland.

The documented Yorubaland he owns are: Towns of Oyo Atiba, Awe, Akinmarin, Ilora, Iseyin, Papa, Tede. and Sabe. Most of those towns are also no longer in existence.

Says who?

Stick to your non,sense story,. Go ask your elders to tell your truth.

Have you ever heard of the childhood friends Oja and the prince Abiodun, then their expeditions with other warriors/princes even before the seat of Oyo Empire was moved down to the present Agod'oyo?

No Disrespect Intended, Olubadan Dismisses Claims Of Snubbing Alaafin

Independent Newspaper Nigeria

January 14, 2026

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, has debunked claims circulating on social media that he deliberately snubbed the Alaafin of Oyo at a recent public event, describing the incident as a misunderstand­ing exaggerated by online spec­ulation.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent in Ibadan, the revered traditional ruler insisted that his actions at the event were neither inten­tional nor disrespectful, but were dictated by timing and protocol.

“There was no intention whatsoever,” Oba Ladoja said. “What happened was not delib­erate. It has been misinterpreted, especially on social media.”

The monarch explained that he arrived slightly late at the event and was attempting to take his seat discreetly without disrupting proceedings.

According to him, his move­ment within the venue was in­fluenced by the seating arrange­ment and the need to observe protocol.

“When I arrive late at a place, I try to move quietly,” he explained. “Just like in a mosque, when prayers are ongoing, you wait for the right moment to join. I was simply trying to take my seat be­fore it became impossible to move around.”

Oba Ladoja clarified that his seat was positioned between des­ignated areas, requiring him to pass through certain sections of the hall.

However, by the time he at­tempted to return to his seat, he found that other dignitaries had already changed positions, forc­ing him to retrace his steps.

“My seat was sandwiched between the Sohun and the Alaafin,” he said. “I had to pass through some people to get there. I did not make any decision to avoid or ignore anyone. Why should I?”

The Olubadan expressed con­cern over what he described as deliberate mischief by some com­mentators, noting that selective­ly edited video clips circulating online failed to capture the full sequence of events.

“If you watch the complete video, you will see me greeting people, including the governor,” he noted. “But social media often takes things out of context.”

On whether any effort had been made to address perceived grievances arising from the in­cident, the monarch confirmed that communication had already taken place, dismissing sugges­tions of tension or offence be­tween the royal institutions.

“I don’t think anyone was be­ing offensive, and I don’t see the issue as an insult to anybody,” he said.

Beyond the controversy, Oba Ladoja used the opportunity to reiterate his commitment to unity, social harmony and devel­opment, particularly among the younger generation.

“My goal is to unite the pres­ent generation and those com­ing after us,” he said. “We must raise standards, especially in ed­ucation, and focus on what truly brings progress to our society.”

The clarification comes amid intense online debate over royal protocol and perceived rivalries among traditional institutions in Oyo State, a discourse many ob­servers say detracts from the sta­bilising role of traditional rulers in promoting governance, unity and social cohesion.

Bro everyone is connected and related to another in Yoruba land. For example, Ibadan was created by lagelu. He was the first man and later others came

Yes oluyole has ties with oyo same way oranmiyan has ties with ife. It doesn't change the fact that oluyole fought and died as an Ibadan man

Yes Ibadan was founded by oluyole same way oranmiyan from ife founded oyo. Everyone is related one way or the other

You should be the one to ask your elders because you don't know what you are saying. In fact Ibadan and Ogbomosho established this new oyo

Oyo empire has collapsed. I get am before no be property. Ibadan was the last reigning champion

Goodvibes007:
In that treaty, do you know that Ife and other kingdoms also signed separately.

I have attached the towns he signed for in my earlier comment.

Ife's signature below at the same time the Alafin signed for the Yoruba towns (Oyo Atiba, Awe, Akinmarin, Ilora, Iseyin, Papa, Tede. and Sabe.)

Name of book(s) please?

You are a joker
