You only elevate something clean that's a reflection of you with potentials.
allow the Ooni to choose whoever he wants to choose, given the circumstances. The fact that your expectations are not being met, doesnt mean he should make himself unhappy by going for a woman who cant handle his lifestyle and palace responsibilities. Besides, the harem is not necessarily a static place, they'll figure out whatever it is they're planning on doing.


When you play in the pigsty, you will get dirty. And you can't elevate a pig cos a pig and dirt are inseparable.

my mama Tilapia, just shut up
na you sabi why you are abusing your mama.



stop holding brief for a cheap sket. She isn't even good looking, so it must be voodoo. You just have to fear African women and black magic.
I am not holding brief for anybody, just pointing out the fact that the king can choose whoever he likes for his harem, as others pointed out.

Traditionally, he is allowed to do so and besides, in the olden days, women got sent to the palace to be the king's wife, as punishment sometimes, it wasnt elevation or anything like that. Why do you think the penalties for dating a king's wife are so harsh?

In any case, most of these women get very rich and live comfortable lifestyles.

Shymm3x:
I don't care if it's "olori" or "oloshi", a man's wife is a representation of a man's status.
as was noted in princess and the frog, the man elevates the wife's status, not the other way round.

The woman's status is what is elevated by the king, however, a king's harem traditionally, can also be considered a boot camp, which seems like a contradiction, but that's how it goes.



So regardless of how you twist and turn it, it is a bad look on a man sitting on a throne as sacred as that. He's not a regular Joe and any regular Joe won't even make a who.re a housewife cos it's going to rub his manhood negatively.

There was a reason why Alaafin Shango (my favourite Yoruba King ever) picked Oya as his wife cos once you get to that position of power and prestige, you need a woman that will reflect it. Hence it isn't uncommon for folks to marry new wives once they attain a higher status. Ya woman has to reflect it - that is the unwritten rule. However does this questionable woman reflect that?
which part of all the women in a king's domain are considered his prerogative, are you not getting? huh

Your views are western, not Nigerian per se. Are you Nigerian sef.




Err, I'm sure back in the day when kings used to take people's wives, they don't go after village who.res everyone and his father passed through already. They go after extremely beautiful virtuous women.
not really.

Women can get sent to the king's palace for retraining or as punishment/discipline, it all depends. Beauty may be a requirement though, not sure.




as per the rest of your post, I'm sure you flee from women who arent on your wavelength.

Listen, if you don't have an understanding of what tradition entails and the significance of certain positions - it's always better to shut up.

Which Yorubaland sanctioned making a cheap who.re a Yoruba queen?
the word Queen does not really exist in Yoruba lexicon. It's a western term.

The king's wives are called Olori (meaning king's wife), and they're part of a harem.

Some may argue being a king's wife automatically makes you a queen, its not necessarily so, since Nigerian culture recognizes different types of queens- eg queen of the coast, queen of the sea, etc, none of these have husbands and when they do, it has to be more than one husband.

As people pointed out earlier, it used to be the tradition for kings to appropriate their subjects' wives, however, with modernization, this tradition is no longer practiced.

Likewise, the king's harem does not consist of "chaste" women only unless he or whoever is in charge of these things, wants it so. Some men do not like naive women. In addition, where the wife is being obtained from, also determines who will be presented, subject to the king's specifications.

If she is from Benin, and Benin people dont want to present a never married lady (or they were not asked to do so), then its the choice of all involved .

You sef that are complaining, do you date naive types? huh

Now, in specific cultures where the monarchs do not tend to keep harems (some of them that is), you may find the idea of a king doing so, strange.

Gamesmart:
I don't know of any major Yoruba Monarch in History with just one wife.

There have been 50 previous Kings of Ife, I can't think of just one who was monogamous. Talk less of a significant number to argue it is not the norm and tradition.

Same for Alaafin, Alake, Olowo and co.
The bronzes only show one wife, but the meaning is not too clear I guess.

The Alake has one wife I believe.

It is easier to have one wife in some areas than others, due to some reasons.

Also, there is the Ogboni factor: some positions require the holder to be polygamous.
