Why Alaafin Of Oyo And Aare Ona Kakanfo Can't Stay Together- Gani Adams (29211 Views)
VEHINTOLAR: 11:27am On Oct 06, 2021 |
Somebody should tell this guy that he talks too much ! Aare Latoosa of Ibadan was the last real Aare of Yoruba land. The likes of Chief Akintola,Chief MKO and Gani Adams that came after him are just ceremonial Aare Onakakanfo. It's important to note here that the first-three Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba were from the present day Republic of Benin. The colonialists did a lot of damage in Africa. Because of their own selfish reasons and istrative convenience,the colonialists created artificial boundaries that separated brothers all over Africa ! |

illicit: Kindly educate me more on this...How is latoosa the last real aare? Does it mean it's now more of a political appointment? |
illicit(m): 11:54am On Oct 06, 2021 |
friday2011: Latoosa had foot soldiers and he fought actual wars On his demise, there was an interregnum of about 80 years before Akintola was installed The position now is mostly ceremonial especially in the cases of Akintola and Abiola, they were rich politicians Gani Adams has a chance to prove otherwise tho cos he has been in battles and has a standing millitia 1 Like |

Ykc2:. The slave traders never raided Yoruba land to enslave people. Most if not all slaves are captured and traded by Yoruba war generals or war lords e.g Efunsetan and traders eg Efunroye Tinubu. The colonialists devilishly supplied the guns and gun powder to stoke strives and wars |
Gbajure(m): 11:57am On Oct 06, 2021 |
illicit: Aare Latoosa commanded the Ibadan oyo confederate army against other Yoruba tribes army led by Ogedengbe at Oke Imesi. So it has always being Oyo and Ibadan title and never of Yoruba land. |

Just imagine! See how Alaafin and his boys divided Yoruba land amongst themselves, why should I as an igbonna answer to the Alaafin? Wasn't Oyo a Kingdom that expanded through warfare into other Yorùbá countryside? How are they different from "Fulani" when they're clearly land grabbing and "Oyolizing" non-Oyo Yorùbás.

Gbajure: Aare Ona kakanfo of Oyo ? Are you saying that the tittle is strictly for the Yoruba of Oyo alone or that the tittle holder does not have authority or influence over other Yoruba sub ethnic groups,say like Ekiti or Ijesha ? Please clarify that while bearing in mind that there is a clear difference between Oyo land and Oyo Empire. Yes,I know that Ilorin army fought on the side of Ekiti parapo army during the kiriji war. I hope you understand that the fall of Oyo empire,which reigned for over 500 years,left a huge gap in the istration of the entire Yoruba land ? What brought about the kiriji war therefore, was an attempt to halt the expansive efforts of Ibadan to emerge as the next dominant region or power after the fall of Oyo empire. While Ibadan wanted a unified Yoruba nation that's similar to that of Oyo empire,Ekiti wanted a loose confederation of kingdoms. Another factor was the highhandedness and over bearing attitude of Aare Latoosa (from Ibadan)'s agents called "Ajele" who subjected Ekiti,Ijesa,Akoko and Igbomina people to lots of unimaginable hardships. The Ajeles were cruel,despotic,uncaring, autocratic and indulged in a lot of excesses. It was therefore,a war of independence for the Ekiti and others to free themselves from Ibadan's dominance If you take into consideration, the fact that Ilorin army was crushed by the Ibadan army in the battle of Osogbo (1840),then it shouldn't surprise anyone why Ilorin fought on the side of Ekiti confederate army. It was a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend for the Ilorin army ! |

Praktikals:Provide historical evidence. Ooni is the leader of a small town in today's Osun State with no influence even in nearby Modakeke - no Ooni ever experienced ruling a real nation ![]() |
Praktikals(m): 3:41pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
Shikena:It is not by size. Alaafin has never been ranked higher than Ooni. The present Alaafin just likes distorting history to massage his own ego. Even you, my friend, cannot argue that Ooni is more influencial than Alaafin today In the pics below, you can see the Ooni right beside the queen and alaafin is on the extreme side. It is an open secret that Alaafin deliberately avoids any outing with other yoruba kings because all of them must queue behind Ooni.

I knew some "oponu"would turn this thread to Alaafin vs Ooni tussle but these same "ode" would rather keep quiet when some poorly informed aliens from the other side were making spirited efforts to rewrite Yoruba history just to suit their own narratives ! Ooni,being the Arole Oodua,is the spiritual head of Yoruba nation while Alaafin wields an uncommon political and military power than any Oba in Yoruba land being the head of the old Oyo empire. It is an undeniable fact that Ooni occupies the seat of Oodua ( father of Yoruba nation) as his Representative while Alaafin is a direct Son of Oduduwa through Oranmiyan who was the first Alaafin. Omo Yoruba e ronu yin ! E ma fe idi arayin sita fun awon ota yin ! Both Alaafin and Ooni,in fact all the Kabiesi in Yoruba land ,are our fathers and leaders. There is no need for any unnecessary superiority tussle among our royal fathers and even among the subjects too. |

Praktikals:Pictures? You want me to post Ooni bowing to Tinubu abi? ![]() Fact: No Ooni ever ruled any nation in history. Just the town of Ile-ife. Shikena! *Alaafins never queued behind any king in the days of old when traditions of rulership were established so that's an impossibility as there was no one to queue behind, they won't start today. Alaafin means Alaafin, a royalty, not spiritualist, digest that as a Yorubaman ![]()
