Sometimes i am puzzled to how people act.

They say the Yoruba race started from IFE. We have a prince that wants to be a King in Ife, going to Kano, Kaduna, ABuja and other "NORTHERN STATES" lobbying to be the King of a Yoruba land.

Lobbying for a Western Stool, in the Northern part of Nigeria.

So what exactly am i missing here?does this mean the Ooniship will be decided in the North? or are the Kingmakers living in the North?or maybe Ife is related to the North?once upon a time, Oba's used to be picked very quietly. But now? everything has been politicized for selfish reasons.

What happened to the Oracles making the choice of who rules?anyway i am just an observer, performing my Civic duty.

It goes to show that the Ooni stool as grown from just being a Yoruba obaship position to one of national importance. The position is so important that the choice of who mounts the throne next is now a national concern.

The above notwithstanding, I personally disapprove of the campaign methods of prince Aderemi. The ruling house he came from is not eligible to present candidates in this particular contest, so, his candidacy is not valid. He should stop lobbying politicians to help him bypass the existing rotation policy.

Shame on damola Aderemi. How can a prince from ife take off his shoes for a kano emir. Ife princes or princesses are exempted from taking off their shoes when visiting or being visited by other royals, even when visiting the Ooni. Yet, damola sees nothing wrong with taking off his own shoes for an hausa emir in kano.

Prospective yoruba obas acknowledging their slave masters!!! It is obvious the next Ooni would be decided by the sokoto caliphate!!

GentleToks:
It may interest you to know that Sanusi was equally all over South West states before he was enthroned.

As the most qualified son of Ooni dynasty, it's natural for him to pay courtesy visits to people like Sanusi and other elder and young Statesmen in Nigeria.

You guys are the one attaching all sort of unnecessary sentiment to all this.

Abi iru ki wa leleyi bayi o o Eledumare?

You people can come up with just anything to justify subservience.

Did Sanusi himself pay visit to anyone in the South West publicly like this before his selection as Emir?

Now that you have elevated the stool to 'Ooni of Nigeria' where are other princes (of the other ruling houses you mentioned) going up and down? Can we see their pictures?

When tomorrow, one historian in Bayero University comes to assert that the Ooni stool is determined by them will you come out here to dispute that?[/size]

hmmmmm
journalist will never seize to amuse me, I know they will always sprung up news from anywhere just to feed us.
Am not doubting the fact that the prince went seeing notable and dignitaries since the demise of the late Ooni of ife, but however, I don't want us to jump into conclusion,perhaps, they could have been allies long ago even b4 the oba's transition.... hmmmm, I know the journalist will spear us that even if they know the fact of that relationship b4 the king's demise.

I stand to be corrected or enlightened..
kingship is not like an empire which is heritable by heirs. so I don't see the Prince seeing the Top guns in politics to swerve the throne in his favour and if he dares, hmmmm, I await the other clan to the throne response and actions...**courage without wisdom will only lead to doom


I reserve my comment till aftermath

porka:
[size=13pt]Is there no way anyone can caution this man to stop drawing the Yoruba nation on the ground?

What is all this?

Is this the result of having a showman (Dele Momodu) as a friend?

The departed Ooni and the late Emir of Kano were long time friends and business associates, it was not this type of slave-master relationship. Even at that, their affairs were more in private than these public show of docility.[/size]

Jarus:
Politics of throne.

Talk to Sanusi to talk to his friend, el-Rufai. El-Rufai that is closer to Buhari to talk to Buhari, then Buhari to talk to Aregbe as Osun governor. Aregbe to talk to Ife kingmakers.

This was the Sanusi formula too. Got close to Tinubu, Tinubu talked to Kwankwaso and Kwankwaso chose him.
