Mynd44:Olubadan is not a first class Oba in Yoruba land. By the way, its Ataoja of Osogbo and not Soun which is for Ogbomoso. 4 Likes |

SirShymexx: Till today, the Oba of Lagos is the head of all the Kings in Lagos State http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/pagelinks.php?p=8 Oh the title changed to Oba when the Capital of Nigeria was moved to Abuja |

Mynd44: Who made Olubadan a first class king? Loooooool. They nuked Yoruba culture with that, especially with a kingship that isn't really legit lol. You don't know what a first class king is. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Mynd44: I dunno but if that is the truth, then it is just ceremonial. The rest is politics. Then again, the Oba of Lagos has never had that much power traditionally anyway. The idejo chiefs run things. 2 Likes |

Mynd44: Lol. Well, I thought they made him a first class king due to the status of Lagos, and cos he is the most popular king in Lagos. Hence I asked. But Olubadan can Never be a first class - that is a slap on Yoruba culture. 2 Likes |

Mynd44:we may be mentioning Olubadan because of the political importance of Ibadan to Yoruba land and maybe its being a large city. Anything apart from that is a no no. Where do you put Olowu of Owu Alaketu of Ketu Oba of Benin (some might not agree) Olupopo of Popo Onisabe of Sabe Orangun of Ila. Owa obokun of Ijesha-land Though some of these kings may not be too relevant because of the status of their kingdom in the present day Yoruba land affairs; we will be revising history wrongly if we fail to give them the required credit. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

yokiti:That is the problem the military caused when they decided to start grading the Obas with how much support they got from each. You can also add the Ewi Of Ado to the list I don't even know if they put the Oba of Benin among the kings in Yorubaland again. 1 Like |

Re: Picture Of Eleko Of Eko, In London, England Circa, 1950s. by nduchucks: 1:49pm On Apr 13, 2015 |
Rilwayne001: Nice historical post there. While Eleko of Eko was not a ceremonial oba back in the 1950s, I'm afraid there is no room for anything other than ceremonial responsibilities for Obas in the current dispensation. This irresponsible practice of supporting Obas and Emirs with state and federal funds and allowing them to meddle in our political affairs need to be terminated. These state funds are illegally, simply given to them by Governors and even Presidents. The Obas, Ezes, and Emirs can get real jobs like the rest of Nigerian citizens. If their "subjects" want to mantain certain lifestyles for their Oba, let them go and pass local council ordinances or ask their state legislators to approve state or local income taxes to support the, now lazy ass rougue Obas. nansense. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Picture Of Eleko Of Eko, In London, England Circa, 1950s. by Mynd44: 1:52pm On Apr 13, 2015 |
Rilwayne001:I went further to explain that "The Eleko's territory is limited to Lagos Island and environs but that changed when the constitution made the crown the head of all traditional crowns in Lagos state. At this point, the Oba of Lagos was coined as the Oba of Lagos which is the Oba of Lagos State not just Lagos Island like the Eleko" |

Re: Picture Of Eleko Of Eko, In London, England Circa, 1950s. by Mynd44: 2:03pm On Apr 13, 2015 |
Rilwayne001:The title "Eleko,of Lagos" was changed to "Oba of Lagos" when the capital was moved to Abuja. That does not mean the person wearing the crown changes but his duties grew and he became the Traditional ruler of the state |

Mynd44:. You classified Olubadan as a First Class King but questioned that of Eleko of Eko(Oba of Lagos)...Ol boy,you need to get your Yoruba History book dusted,if you have any...I don't know your criteria at arriving at 'First Class' but let me inform you that Olubadan title used to be for a Baale of Ibadan...I won't say more than that for now 4 Likes |

nduchucks: Traditional rulers play more than ceremonial roles in different states based on various laws establishing the traditional councils. They perform advisory roles to the government in most states. Their funding is also not illegal as you termed it because their is an existing federal law that provides that traditional institutions should be funded by at least 5% of the Local government monthly allocation. 2 Likes |

Their duties also include conflict resolution, they are authorized to conduct marriage ceremonies(they get registers from the local government) and they are also important when it comes to making laws. 1 Like |
