Oranmiyan was the first son born after Okanbi ascended the throne which makes him the crown prince. And there was no title of Ooni then. I stand to be corrected anyway.

Nigerian Traditional Rulers often derive their titles from the rulers of independent states or communities that existed before the formation of modern Nigeria.


They don’t have formal political power, they command respect from their people and have considerable influence.

Below are some titles of kings/ traditional rulers in Yoruba land. It is Owá of Ìdànre




If you know some other titles of Yoruba traditional rulers/ kings not listed above, kindly add it in the comment box.
Thank You!
