These days, people can hardly tell their left from their right. Can one blame them? Yet often, the empty barrels make most noise. See them agitating for recognition! That said, how could you compare Oònirìsà (literally: Ooni the Oracle) to 'Aláse èkeji òrìsà' (literally: Commander, next-in-command to the Oracle)? If you know that the full title of the Ooni of Ile-Ife is Oonirisa, you will then understand that he himself is the deity. Your Alaafin can only be second to him, as his title parlance implies. Realize that Ile-Ife is the source of the Yoruba race. Oduduwa's descendants left ile-Ife with crowns to go establish kingdoms and rule all over yorubaland. These kingdoms include those of the great Oba of Benin, Alaafin of Oyo, Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Alaketu of Ketu, Orangun of Ila, Onisabe of Sabe and Olupopo of Popo. It was from these initial kingdoms that all the Obas you know today sprang. Memory verse: Ile-Ife is supreme, and the stool of the Ooni is higher than any other in yoruba land. If you choose to respect the Alaafin or even Olubadan more than the Ooni, no problem. It's entirely your right to choose who to respect. But historically, the fact is what i've stated. Ego-massaging get us nowhere. Let's say the truth as it is..always! A yoruba proverb says "the Okro plant cannot be taller than than its planter/ harvester".. Alaafin's stool is the Okro, while Ooni's is the planter/ harvester Cheers! 1 Like |

mkoabiola: I don't believe it's rivalry, because there is clearly no rivalry. We all know the history of the yoruba race. I think it is more of misplaced pride/ ego from the Alaafin protagonists..and it borders on disrespect to their own origin and history. Yet we yorubas unanimously (including Oyo) call ourselves 'omo Oduduwa'.. That Oduduwa was the first Ooni of Ife, and the first Alaafin was Oduduwa's grandchild! Who is fooling who?.. Anyway, enough said. 1 Like |

mkoabiola:There is no rivalry between both..Can the son come before the grandpa...That is can Oranmiyan, the 6th ruler of Ife (establised Oyo hence it's 1st king) come before Oduduwa, the 1st king of Ife (Established Ife) I know from Yoruba history that Yorubas trace their origin to Ife and not Old Oyo in Katunga, Niger state. 1 Like |
