This is borne out of the rift between the last kings of ife and benin.

Akinolu wants to identify with benin at all cost, this is part of it.

He said 'the man is making sense' when other Yoruba cried foul at the last benin monarch's book.

He is lonely now historical wise.

In contemporary history, the Oba of Lagos is the only monarch that's publicly defied royalty by behaving in manner that's unkingly.

The other day, he said a set of people who won't vote for his anointed candidate at the last poll "would perish in the lagoon".

This same guy attended a function and opened a bottle of alcohol with his teeth and drank himself to stupor; till he couldn't walk and had to be aided.

What do you expect?

Good riddance!
Hahahahahahahaha..opened harp larger with teeth. Exaggerated lagooonian.

Imagine that useless and brainless Emmanuel Dele on that twitter reactions. The fool practically left the disgraceful encounter between his obas only to begin throwing jabs at Igbos.

Why are some people hell bent on being senselessly retarded in the name of exhibiting tribal supremacy?? SmH.. undecided

Give me the Ooni any day. So called On a Lagoon has no real kingdom. On a Lagos remains a creature of an early Ooni. Toni Kabiyesi o.
Our Yoruba brothers should handle this because we regard their cultural heritage very highly.

Heard Ooni came late to the event and the event has to be interrupted. That might have irked Oba of Lagos.

But public snub for a senior traditional ruler is disrespectful.
He came late and refused to sit down quietly like the royalty he is supposed to be

This is monumental insult to Oduduwa that OOni is representing..

I am ashamed the king of my home state would descend that low to be boldly insolent to a first class Oba of the entire Yoruba race home and in diaspora...

If Eleko is my father, I would advise him to tender an apology to Ooni, his senior in Obaship..

If he could do that to his superior, what message is he passing across to Yorubas?

The Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu has been trending on twitter since yesterday night after he was caught on camera publicly humiliating the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi at a public event.

A video in which the Lagos monarch, Oba Akiolu refused to shake the hands of the Ooni of Ife, has emerged and is currently trending online.

The video shows the Ooni walking in and exchanging pleasantries, when it was time to greet the Oba of Lagos, he was snubbed with a passive greeting from the monarch.

the ooni is too forward sef. The Ife kingmakers should take a cue from the Oba of Benin. If it were the omon'obo, he wouldn't be shaking hands with every front sit personality like young adults in a high school reunoin. There is a way a king should comport himself in public to avoid such WORK HAZARD. To me, it was a show of arrogance and classlessness from the Oba of Lagos but the Ooni played into it. Both kings r culpable

I agree with you...the Ooni needs to learn to make himself 'scarce' and less accessible undecided

The truth is that historically the oba of lagos was crowned by oba of benin and benin and Yoruba's still argue over cultural supremacy even though the oba of lagos is a yoruba man the historical grudge is still there undecided
There is no grudge nor argument about this, the Seat or throne of Lagos is that of Yoruba not Benin. All Oba of Lagos have always been Yorubas except a period when the Oba of Benin conquered Lagos and placed a representative there till when the British came and restored the throne back to the Yoruba King.

This is wat u get when you abuse office of the Ooni.
Ooni of ife, as the custodian of the yoruba race is not supposed to be roaming the streets up and down, but u see dis young chap carry the crown to comedy shows, telling us he's a joke. Even new oba of benin wey dey first go ife during the first days of his reign did not go, when d ooni wont sit in his palace, be doing yahoo-yahoo oba about.
He only got what was coming all along, and expect many more obas and baales to disrespect him.

Oh, and people, fyi, oba of lagos kingship does not answer to the ooni, he has more link to benin than yoruba, so NOTHING, i repeat, NOTHING THE OONI CAN DO TO HIM.

You guys know nothing but just type rubbish, no Oba in Yoruba Land is answerable to any Oba,its just out of respect for the first spiritual leader of the cradle of Yoruba Land.

The seat of throne in Lagos is a Yoruba Kingship and not Benin. The seat existed long before Oba of Benin conquered Lagos and named it Eko. It was restored to the Yoruba king when the British came there.

So the life of a Nigerian should revolve around looters that we should not talk about anything else? Nothing else should matter to us except looting politicians?
Bros, the small small issues are also part of life and must be talked about.

Justice Binta Nyako has sentenced Nnamdi Kanu to a different kind of imprisonment today.

They granted him "bail" and said he should not be in the company of more than 10 people. This is worse than slavery.

What this means is that he can not go to church,synagogue or market. It also means that he can not be in the company of his father,mother,sibblings,wife and children(if they are up to 10). This a worse form of imprisonment.

Meanwhile, sen. Ndume, facing trial in court for being a boko haram member can go to the mosque and the senate freely.

The concept of one Nigeria is so clearly a farce

Do we need to go back into history on this? The original title of the oba of lagos is ELEKO, before westerners and other factors changed it to Oba.
You see, awori and ijebu are the lagosians, especially the aworis but they dont have one stable king because they were always migrating, trying to find the most stable location around the rivers and lagoon of the area we now know as lagos. But the benin kingdon was expanding into the southwest and found lagos as a good settlement place to launch attack, hence they called d place EKO, meaning where we gather. The warrior oba of benin was the fist ruler of eko after conquering the land but he had to put another to govern and return to his benin kingdom where he is the spiritual head (because, barring any trouble needing his attention outside the kingdom he stays in his palace), hence the title ELEKO of EKO.
But the western world had contact, slave trade, treachery, jazz and you know the rest
