Alaafin of Oyo – Oba Adediran Adeyemi II
84yrs old Oba Adediran Adeyemi II (the father of the present Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi) was dethroned for political rivalry with Chief Awolowo lead Western government of Nigeria when he gave his political will and support for an opposition party called NCNC lead by Chief Nnamdi Azikwe which was heightened by a disagreement and conflict with the then Awolowo Action group leader, Bode Thomas. Oba Adediran was sent away from Oyo town in July 1955 and was exiled in Lagos where he was housed by Alhaji N.B Soule a wealthy NCNC member , after which Gbadegesin Ladigbolu was enthroned as the new Alaafin of Oyo till 1970.

Any king can be dethroned and nothing will happen..

Did Awolowo ever become the Nigerian president he so much coveted... NO... na curse push am till he failed..

Awolowo faced very bitter consequences for his action, we aint saying politician cant do it we are saying he might live to regrect it when the tribulation start rolling in

Lol. If the Alaafin provokes Seyi Makinde to that point, he will be removed.

This letter is just advisory and there is no authority backing it. A king is an employee of the state government. He can be removed if he oversteps.

Bro seyi makinde wan die be that. No go play with all these men oo. They are orisas already. oba weh don spend 50 years on throne. The one in Ijebu have spent 60 years on that throne already. One gov will now come from know where, he wan die be dat. lol

The title on the letter head is enough warning !

EcoBrick:
You are talking nonsense. Fayemi at Ekiti cannot do such to an Alaafin whose domain is in Oyo State. Only Makinde (governor fo Oyo) can attempt such, but Makinde is too grounded as a Yoruba son of the soil to go that far under any circumstance.

I hope you know that Awolowo, the most grounded of Yoruba sons was the one the dethroned an Alaafin

Yankee101:
Them don commot oba of Benin their elder brother b4 and thunder no fall

Stop talking nonsense. Oba of Benin is a son to Oranmiyan, the founder of Oyo and first Alaafin and later Ooni of Ife.

Oya tell us the consequences o. Asides not becoming the President, what else? Baba enjoyed his life till death.

Paragraph 10&11 sha. Chai!! Dat one go enter any northerner wey read am o.
Gandollar fall their hands seriously.

It's not a cursed that pushed him to his fall but greediness and self centred pushed him to his downfall.. Go back to history He gave Akintola post and run for the presidency which he lost and wanted to return back to the post.. You can't chase two things at a time and he who live by the sword n plan coup shall also died by the sword.

I also noticed he made it clear that under the 16yr war
The alafin throne not the ooni of Ife throne wrote the British
Hmmmmmmm no wonder the alafin doesn't recognize the onni of ife as its superior
He said the alafin as head of all yoruba Obas
What does this mean

That's the only thing u will see in the well worded warning to a lost tenured power monger Governor.


Controversy is your middle name...

betrayed by akintola, jailed for treason even when he did nothing, lost his lawyer son while in prison.. just the few things he suffered few years after even when the desposed alafin said he held no grudge

Perhaps that actually led to the otapiapia ratak legend saga and not actually altogether ibb's threat O,abi?

I pray he adhere to the warning.

Hmmm, read my story here!

MrMcJay:
That paragraph 10 is a brutal innuendo. Sanusi's removal is a shame to the entire North. Their traditional rulers have become glorified employees.

Paragraph 14 is a veiled threat to settle the matter through customary means. That is pregnant with meaning. Fayemi has a PhD in War studies from the University of London. He needs to calm down before they sit on his matter.

guy u get sense...I like your paragraph to paragraph understanding of the whole thing...he who has ears let him hear.

Sammy07:
Fayemi should ask Fayose the aftermath when he wantoto remove Ewi of Ado Ekiti

Fayemi should read about what caused the death of Bode Thomas...

He's well grounded in Yoruba, why is he behaving like an outsider??

Lol, what repercussions did Fayose face?

Please don't further expose the sheer powerlessness of the Obas' when financial muscle is considered. Fayose was a thorn in the flesh to the man.

To the extent that Fayemi was disrespected by the Oba of Ado-Ekiti openly championing the cause of PDP in 2010 before the court judgment which ousted Segun Oni, and subsequently it took a while before they began to support his government after Fayemi's 1st term began.

Fayemi can dethrone all 16 of them if he wants, as he is the defacto Pelupelu(Authority) in the land as things stand.

Mentioning the Kiriji war from the Alaafin, I am disappointed by this information from the palace because the great Ekiti warriors who fought the wars were arrested by the British colonialists.

If the letter from the Alaafin was to invite the British, then it goes to show that Oyo which had fought with Ado-Ekiti within a space of 20-50 years, before the Kiriji wars with the Tapas', wrote those letters out of jealousy to stem the rise of mighty Ekiti Warriors, who would have gone ahead to conquer their enemies and seek to extend their influence.

So this Greek gift in form of a letter is not welcome, brothers we are, but let all Yorubas know that the sons of Oduduwa are the Kings and not the followers and generality of the Ekaaro Ojire people.

Oduduwa means "falsehood/trickery became a habit/character". Let that information sink in, then you will understand why the Kings are surrounded by Ogbonis and Oloyes, steeped in deep esoteric occultic mysticism.

The Kings themselves are from one source and they came to power via occultic schemes and they spread from Ikorodu to Benin using occultic powers of divination and sorcery to ascend the thrones, if this is the season for them to receive the sum total of the accumulated reward of their treachery and that of their forefathers, who are we to complain on their behalf?

While the traditional institutions must be respected, we need history and context to set our opinions right at a time when cultural realignment may be in sight.

Alafin should maintain his lane or else he will be dethrone and exiled to Enugu.


And don't tell me is not possible or it never happened.

Go find out what happened to Bode Thomas

Fayemi be a man and chase them away. Those Oba's act like God.

The last line tho

Lol. That’s the extent of the king’s so called power. He can only go spiritual. He can’t enter the government house and chase the governor away, can he?

Kings avoid direct confrontations with their governors cos things can go south quickly.

Both kings and governors act a script for the sake of culture but a king knows where the power lies.

AfroKnight:
Only a dàft person would exalt a king above the first citizen of a state government, who determines and pays the king’s salary.

It appears your little education was a waste.

Governors are not first citizens but rather first servants of the State. Bastardizing Traditional Institutions for the sake of politicians who are of not even epitomes of good citizen and supporting politicians to silence criticism is injurious to the society in the long run. In Nigeria we like absolute power and unsurprisingly we are the worst people to entrust with such power!

How often do you see politicians in Britain and Japan messing with the Queen or Emperor for ego sake?

Absolute power belongs to kings not governors. And fortunately, that power has been taken away from them.

British and Japanese Royals always avoid confrontations. They are custodians of culture.

Your Nigerian king thinks himself a true king. Lol. But his salary and the perks of his position are determined by the state which is headed by the governor.

Why didn’t Emir Sanusi ignore the deposition? If he had power over his governor, he could just order the governor to leave the state. But the reverse is the case because that is the hierarchy.

What does this mean

How much of Yoruba history do you know? Find Professor J. A. Atanda's "The New Oyo Empire, etc." and study it. "The History of the Yoruba" by Rev Johnson, an Oyo man, wouldn't do!
