Title very misleading after reading the contents. There are more First Class Traditional Rulers in Nigeria. Bayelsa my home state has over 10. I can help you complete the list with 2: The Obhehan of Oloibiri (His Royal Majesty, King Adoku Maddocks Ogbogi) The Amanyanabo of Nembe (His Royal Majesty, King Diete-Spiff). More research should be done on works or trim the titles accordingly. Thank you. My 1 cent. |

bilulu: Lol The Oba of Benin greater than the Alaafin. Na so. The Oba of Benin has a lot of cultural relevance - agreed. What most people dont realize is that the cultural relevance was actually propagated by the British. Benin is a coastal town, hence the British came in contact with them first, and were wowed by the african kingdom with complex governance structures, amazing art and lit streets. The british only found out about Oyo much later. Oyo probably had a much more complex governance structure with it's Ogboni, Ilari, Bashorun Gaa, Aare-Ona Kankanfo e.t.c with several checks and balances so that the King could not be too tyrannical. Oyo also ruled over a much larger land mass than Benin, with its empire spreading all the way to modern-day Togo and Benin. Both Obas are great, but none towers over the other. |

Don't be tribalistic. What of the Attah of Igala, Ochi'Idoma, Estu Nupe , Tor Tiv etc are they not first class chiefs. Be informed we see them as First Class chiefs too. I am a proud Igala Man and see The Attah as a first class chief. |

Basic123: How exactly was Oyo republican? Do you know the meaning of that word? Oyo was Monarchical. Monarchy is a primitive level of governance, I don't know why Nigerians are obsessed about it. Yes, the Igbo mini republics were special. It's a complex system of democracy that ensured that peace reigned in the region without unnecessary wars of ego, expansionism and power that comes with monarchies, that nearly destroyed Yolobaland in your Kiriji skirmishes. No system is perfect, but Igbo republican system was and is better, and is closer to what developed nations practice today. 1 Like |

shinarambo1: This is the main issue with many SW people. All they see is population size of a tribe in a country forced together by the British. A fact that was even used to hound GEJ in government. You simply forget that until about 250 years ago, there was no uniform Yourba nation. You were seen as Egba, Awori, Ijebu, Owo, Oyo and so on. Only Oyo really reached its Zenith, with a considerable empire before Afonja betrayal. Forget about how the Ibadan & Owo came to repel the Jihadists. They were fighting for their own freedom too. What you and other revisionists forget is that Benin had to give up its right over large former territories far & near effectively in 1897 (British invasion) and officially in 1914 in order for the British to restore the monarchy. Benin is important to Yoruba for several reasons including: (a) It gave Oduduwa to Ife. And Oduduwa is father of several Yoruba monarchs. (2) It had territories in Eastern Yorubaland. Ondo/Ekiti. The boundary agreed between Aare Ona Kakanfo of Oyo empire & Iyase Epkenede of Benin Empire was at Otun (today in Northern Ekiti). Owo Royal Court culture & royal dressing is still reminiscent of Benin royal tradition. As it can also be observed in Olu of Warri palace in Delta and many other places. (3) Esipka/Asipa & Prince Ado, both from Benin founded Lagos monarchy. It brought a sophisticated system of government and military culture. Lagos monarchy remained faithful to Benin until 1851 when the British removed Oba Kosoko. Even Oba Akintoye still confirmed his obligations to Oba of Benin to the British in 1853. It is like saying that because Rome was initially a small farming settlement on the Tiber, it couldn't have influenced European history that much. Or because Italy is an average European power today, it couldn't have influenced world history in antiquity. I have another example of SW people's obsession with minority having no relevance. I have a minority tribe (Edo) friend who graduated first class from Nigeria's premier university. He works abroad now. Each time their white European colleagues want to understand the frequent crisis in Africa, they ask the minority guy. Because over the years, their European colleagues who care only about competence and skills, have come to appreciate his excellence in dissecting and analyzing African history & politics. But behind his back, SW colleagues keep telling (showing backbiting prowess again) the Europeans that he's just from an ordinary minority tribe and therefore knows nothing. Perplexed Europeans were asking the minority guy why his countrymen are so weird to link ability to tribe. Obviously they are jealous of him. Real life thing even here in Europe. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Olden days list. We're now in the 21st century, a lot has changed. Kingdoms have developed above Kingdoms.Land space ruled by Kingdoms have both increased and reduced. For instance presently, Ogbomoso is bigger than Oyo,so how come Soun of Ogbomosho isn't in the list, and Alafin is in the list. Moreover, Oyo isn't more developed than Ogbomoso. There are other examples. Nothing is permanent. Traditions and customs should not be static. Neither should mind set. Let's change our mindsets! |

Jarus: Oyo's military achievement can never be blurred but then like Oyo, the Ibadan controllee the entire Yoruba land and even imposed an Ooni in Ife -- Ojaja I, the present Ooni's great grandfather. Should Ibadan's military expanse earn Olubadan a first class position next to Alaafin if not ahead of Alaafin? 1 Like |
