| Why Don't The Yorubas Have A Female (king) Ruler ? by AeroplaneApple(op): 6:25am On Aug 03, 2018 |
I have always wondered why in other societies in the world they have a Queen as a ruler but in Yoruba land, I have never come across a territorial female ruler . Have I missed it ? Was there ever a female ruler, and which part of the regions was she ? |

jcflex:Not only Akure but nearly all Yoruba land hold steadfast to this belief. Infact,one descendant of Ooni Odua,who was known as Ooni Luwoo, reigned in ÌlèOfè. She was the matrilineal lineage of the first Oluiwo of Iwoland and descendants.Although with the exception of Ilorin. |
