I hope Alaafin got the permission of his boss- The Him Imperial Majesty Ooni of Ife before giving all these titles.
you're still living in the past.

Raintaker:
Ooni is not Alafin's superior.
Get your facts straight.
Have you ever asked yourself why Ooni is often invited to represent the Yorubas by the Federal Government and at various national and international fora?

There's this picture I stumbled on recently which was taken almost a century ago. The five most prominent Yoruba obas held a meeting @ Oyo town. Guess the sitting arrangement of their group photograph. Ooni sat in the middle and was flanked by Alaafin, Alake, Awujale and Oba of Benin. That should clear all doubts of confused minds like yours on who's the superior between the two paramount rulers.

Recently, the Alake of Egba land even confirmed again that Oonirisa is number one among Yoruba monarchs, followed by iku Baba yeye (Alaafin), and then Oba of Benin, Alake and Awujale. You probably know more than Alake and other Yoruba historians on the supremacy of Ooni in Yoruba land.

Please, note that I'm neither from Ile-Ife nor from Oyo, but I am well informed about my race and culture.

There are kings and there are lords. In Nigeria, there are 3 such lords, namely ;
Obi of Onitsha, Sultan of Sokoto, and the Ooni of Ife. It is not by age, bro, nor how long a king has been on the throne.Ooni is Alaafin s superior.

We need to stop giving unpatriotic cowards of Yorubaland title.
Re: Femi Branch Conferred With ‘jagun Asa Of Edeland’ Title By Alaafin Of Oyo by Truthcat:
As the paramount king of Yorubaland, Alafin Oyo is the only one who can confer national Yoruba titles on the people. As an Ijebu, I know Alafin is supreme over even Awujale and all other obas, but very humble, we just have to follow the history.

Jagun Asa of Edeland I think should be a title in Ede (Ede is in osun state). How come na alaafin of oyo conferred on him the title... Or are there things am missing out?
Re: Femi Branch Conferred With ‘jagun Asa Of Edeland’ Title By Alaafin Of Oyo by Truthcat: 8:40pm On Mar 12, 2018
Don't mind him, even Ooni himself knows Alafin is his Oba. And did I hear him say Obi of something? He needs to go to the joke section with that.

Can you see the disadvantage of not teaching history in schools? If we can call Ooni oba now, it means we will call Aare Ona Kakanfo Gani Adams oba in few decades. We must bring history back to Yorubaland.

Ooni is not an Oba but a spiritual leader. A custodian of the Orisas. Alaafin is the paramount king of Yorubaland, he's next to the Orisas.The only Oba with a real empire under his belt. Politics and Abacha's looted money wanted to do abracadabra to Yoruba Obaship through the last Ooni via backdoor, but we all.saw how he was ridiculed. No one will succeed in rewriting Yoruba history, even the new Ooni is just playing around on his hands, he knows his limits.

All what you put up here are from Oyo version of Yoruba history and not general Yoruba history ....there was a time a clown on nairaland even claimed that ooni's palace was built by alaafin?..imagine?..and about your claim that Ooni knows his limits, is it b/c he went to greet him in oyo or because he hasnt been disgracing the throne d way Sijuwade and alaafin did? Is not a matter of age or fabbles, ooni's actions just demonstrate maturity, and this has earned him more respect.
That oyo empire once existed doesnt make alaafin superior at all, he knows his boundary too.

Re: Femi Branch Conferred With ‘jagun Asa Of Edeland’ Title By Alaafin Of Oyo by Truthcat: 11:25pm On Mar 12, 2018
Anyone with good knowledge of history knows this to be the truth. Ooni should normally prostrate to Alaafin if not for the AJEGUDUJERA attitude shown by the last Ooni. The former Ooni messed things up due to IJEKUJE with Abacha. Ooni Sijuade gba serious EBODE for Yoruba nation, part of which we are still dealing with today. I doubt if the Orisas are still with even the present Ooni, reason he probably started on wrong footing by marrying a woman who turned out to be a show of shame.

Who or what makes him d paramount ruler? Is it the collapsed empire? Well, u are entitled to your opinion and also do I. I am a good student of history and apart from oral tradition, i have read from great historians like ade_ajayi, akinjogbin, even samuel johnson. Oyos can never claim that their own oral tradition is superior to Ifes.

Ahem ! ! Brother, you need to read more about the culture and ask questions. monarch of oyo empire in yoruba history is the most revered by all yorubas and other yoruba kings as well as non yoruba kingdoms as far as and beyond present day Togo.countless kingdoms pay dues to the old oyo empire and it is documented that the Aremo festival(celebration of the crown prince)commands the presence of kings,nobles and subjects from within and outside the shores of present day south west nigeria,hence the sobriquet 'lku, baba,yeye' which apty fits your definition of 'lord' or 'god king' as most of the terrain their empire strecthed to see them as.Even the kakanfo(field marshal,yes) and baloguns(generals)under his commands at any point in time instill fear in majority if not all of the other kingdoms and settlements.However,The oonirisa,while a great king of the yoruba nations as well,is a king in the land that is highly revered by all yorubas as the abode of the deities and the progenitor of yoruba kings,the alaafin inclusive(Oduduwa).Hope i have shed more light on that? You can read more about it when you have time.

Re: Femi Branch Conferred With ‘jagun Asa Of Edeland’ Title By Alaafin Of Oyo by Truthcat: 8:05am On Mar 13, 2018
This is not about emotion but facts. Going by your logic, Gani Adams will start calling himself an Oba. Ooni is ABORE (high priest) the spiritual leader.The former Ooni was nothing to write home about and if didn't know this, then you are not alive. Awujale and Alafin refused Abacha's money, just ask your elders.
