Ok. Thanks.

But you are wrong on that of Ejigbo. If its that of ejigbo in Lagos its Ojon and if its that of osun state is Ogiyan.

MrsNwaAmaikpe:


Pls remove the Olowo of Owo from the list.


He is now to be known as Emir of Owo.

Owo and Iwo are two different towns.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Which part of island, because the Oba of elegushi, eleko of Eko ( infact i heard eleko is the authentic and first king in Lagos island according to history). Oniru of Iru etc.. These are all kings on island, so where does the Oba of Eko kingdom covers in this island.

Akinolu domain is eko idumota/isale is in lagos island not Victoria island oh.
Eleko village us in ibeju area. I do not know ruer of the village.

Okezedan:
Why oba of Lagos no dey the list?

Of course, he is on the list. Every Yoruba king is known as oba of their particular town but at point of ascendancy to the throne to first person to be crown always take a title which every subsequent kings after him will bear.

In our case, the real title of king of Lagos is Eleko of Eko, which actually presents the domain under him. He is not the king of the entire Lagos but Eko ie Lagos Island and all the environs (all lands belonging to the Eko Lagosians or under their suzerainty).

So the name Oba of Lagos is a modern day invention. Every Islander knows that the title of our king is Eleko derived from Olu Eko. Alaafin, Awujale, Elepe, Owa etc are titles of the respective kings but their are all Obas. Even oba of Benin is known as Onibini of Bini or Ibiniland in the yoruba list of its first class grade 1 obas which is about 7, most of the other obas are offshoot of these 7 or were once under their dominions. And thats why their offspring kings are always the head of the council of obas in their domains.

So when you hear about the superiority of one king over another it is referring to this lineage thing. Just as the Alaafin has always been in total control in the past and the Oonis have always been under his control. The Alaafin appointed Aare ona kakanfo for the entire yoruba race and declare wars not the ooni.

Elerin of Erin- osun, Olore of Ore

Let it be said that Ooni was never under Alaafin

Ife was never under anyone

Stop rewriting history

Ife is the cradle; the HEAD

kidap:
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.




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

I was there when Ogunsua was begging for a crown, calling Olubuse his father

I was also there when we beat the shytt out of you guys in the 200s

I was there when we burned Islamic Comprehensive

I was there when the Ogunsua was reminded that he is a Baale. He will never be King

Remember, it is Modakeke, Ife. Modakeke is a quater in Ife. Ife owns the land

And God willing, I will be there when we finally send you back to Oyo.

Bunch of ingrates. May you never know anything good in your life. Awon oloshi
