you are free to argue it, but as through son of Yoruba I know and I believed that oni of ife is greater than alaafin of oyo.
Re: Salaries Of South-West Obas Before Independence (Pictured) by unbitchable(m):
To those saying shit about the Ooni, need i remind you that the Ooni was the head/chairman of Western Nigeria Royal Council. Therefore, his foremost position has never been in doubt either in the pre independence, independence or post independence era.

Areas they were overseeing and the economic activities in those areas determined how they were paid.

Or how else do you think Olubadan would earn more than Oni of ife ?

Can you explain sir, is it by exploits or just office?

By what standards do you claim that Ooni is greater than Alaafin?

This is a concocted information and it is absolutely misleading. Whoever bring this to the front page should be reprimanded. Fake news. How on earth will the salary of Alaafin bigger than that of Ooni of Ife,
oga the alaafin is the elder to the ooni..

If I recall my history correctly, it was Awolowo that reduced the power of Alaafin and elevated Ooni because of politics, i think Alaafin was in support of Ziks party.

Alafin had the largest territory to oversee

Alake had the second largest territory to oversee

Awujale oversaw most of ijebu, Ikorodu and Remo

Oni had the least of the territory to oversee
I thought Onii was overseeing the whole of oduduwa territory.

By the way, where is Oba of Lagos?
