This actual Alaafin was chosen by Professor Wande Abimbola (Former VC of OAU in the 1980s) who also happens to be an Ifa priest.

The oyo mesi was brushed aside after the governor realized that they had been bought with money.

Today is a joyful day in Oyo, after the demise of Oba Lamidi, It took Oyo 4yrs to have a new king. Why not let it stays like that and stop bringing your dolt comparison.

But Ooni and Alaafin know their places in regards to Yoruba culture and kingship. Not only Osun people will argue that but other state like Ekiti, Ondo Ogun will always align with Ooni over any supremacy battle

Yes sir. We in the North regards the Sultan as number 1 in the North. The Ooni as number 1 in the SW, and the the Oba of Benin as number 1 in the SS/SE.

If you go to Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana. They rever the Ooni more too. I do business in those places.

maidstone:


Alaafin is truly the no1

It was Awolowo who started promoting Ooni because of his quarrel with the Oyo Kingdom. People should read about the paramount position of Alaafin in Yorubaland

I'm not sure about the Abore part sha

Two olodos. The two of you have some missing screws in your heads. Was Awolowo born in 1903 when the british colonial master of that era called out to the Ooni and the Alaafin even had to sleep outside his palace out of respect for the Ooni?

Don't let your hatred for Oba Ogunwusi consume you. Soldier go, soldier come, but barrack go remain.

You are right sir. Something about the Oyos is that they are too egocentric.The Oyo empire they still referring is gone forever just like the British empire, Roman empire et al, somebody needs to educate them that they should stop fighting a lost battle

It very good to travel, I've traveled to different places in Nigeria and I can always tell you that most of not all regard the Ooni as supreme and not even about Ooni but that throne of Oduduwa is so sacred to us.

Exactly, Ife was a kingdom and was trading as far as Mali in the 12th century. Ife became less powerful, and kingdom of Benin rose to take it's place. Benin too declined at some point.
Oyo Empire too rose up and also declined. Ibadan rose up and also declined. If we were still in the era of empire building before the British arrived, the Ijebu were already positioning themselves as next in line.

The original Oyo, called Oyo-Ile (or Katunga) was on the border of present day Kwara and Oyo state. After taking over Ilorin, It was us the Fulanis that destroyed the original Oyo and made the Alaafin move further to the south where it currently lies. We Fulanis, even respect the Ibadan more. The Ibadan made up of Yoruba soldiers from all parts of yorubaland and founded by an Ife prince/warrior was those that stopped our expansionism to the South at Oshogbo.

I don't care about all this their supremacy battles. I just stand for the truth. I visited a place in Togo called Atakpame. I swear, they were asking me how the Kabiyosee Ooni was doing that he was their king when their ancestors left ife many centuries ago. I told them that I was not from the South but Northern Nigeria.

Kingdoms and empires come and go. No need for supremacy battles. Like you rightly said, at some point, it was the Roman's ruling most of the world we knew back then, then the turks (ottoman), then the British. It is now America. The Chinese may come after the US as the next super power.

You paid posters need to stop this disrespect. Stop driving unnecessary agenda. Each king is very aware of their domain. Yorubas have totally independent kingdoms with different kings throughout history.

Stop fanning embers of stupid controversies. When you win American football or baseball championship in America, you are called world champions. That is their own thing, feel free to do yours. This endless controversy did not lead anywhere when it was very hot between Oba Adeyemi III and Oba Sijuwade. Stop with this stupidity.

Each of the kingdoms interpret their history in different ways and you can't force yourself on the other.

Live and let live.

That is a disrespectful statement. Tbe person you are accusing of being paid has been ed here since 2017. Why do you think anyone was paid? Where you also paid to post here?
You need to know that not everyone is comfortable with people revising history.

The same applies to Ife. They are all distinct kingdoms and this supremacy fantasy is a mirage. It does not exist. Ife never ever had any authority over Oyo, Ijebu, Iwo etc. Let each king face his domain and stop with long dead fantasies, egocentrism and delusions.

I also love the truth. Empire goes and another one comes but Oyo people don't want t know that. I was reading one historian book some years back and they they mention about 5 empires that first rule this world. I was so surprised to see Ife empire and Egypt Empire among those empire.

Yes you are right, if not for the white who came earlier, we should have had Ijebu empire after the fall of Oyo empire, because the Ijebus were so powerful then and they were never under Oyo empire. Infact the current Oyo town now is the fourth Oyo, they were ransacked from the previous three but most people don't know this

Yes places outside Nigeria then then one will know who Ooni is really is. There is a village I think in US called ile- Ife . Infact after the the coronation of this present Ooni, when he visited Canada, I watched it on my TV here and he was regarded as African foremost traditional ruler, infact he spoke at the Canadian parliamentary, that's a sign of how respected he is

He never said ife had any supremacy over other kingdoms though. The Ijebu had never lost any battle since they were known aside the fight they had with the british . They would surely not bow to anyone. The people that are even most independent are the Egbas, they would never bow to no one too aside their own kings.

Ogbeni, nobody was paid to write anything here we are only trying to educate people like you

Meanwhile we didn't start this but it was this Oyos that stated this, go to the first page to check yourself

He did by inference, there is a reason why they are writing epistles here against each other.

All he did was push back against the first misinformation posted on the page 1. Many posters have also pushed back against that narrative, but you kind of singled Addex out. Someone even accused him of being paid. Haba.

You are playing smart, this did not start with this thread. Some of us follow what has been happening and all the agenda on various social platforms.

Focus on educating your own people. Yoruba kingdoms are already defined & we can't reinvent the wheel.

Pls quote anywhere I said Ife have authority over Oyo, Ijebus etc Infact I even mentioned that Ijebus were never under that assumed Oyo empire. Ijebus will never bow to anyone. The Oyos are still the one positioning themselves to reclaim their lost glory but we are here telling them that one comes and another one arise. If Russia can't bring back USSR back, Oyo should forget

Some people are actually paid to keep driving the disunity. We all know there is no consensus on this issue as witnessed under the past kings, why all the back and forth.

Both sides were cautioned by people on this thread and no one was singled out. Read through again if you missed that.

Can you provide that proof that people were actually paid?
When I say singled out, adexx was quoted as one of those paid which is wrong.

What if I told them that Alaafin is not even entitled to wear a crown and has no authority make anybody king, we are historians

I find it disrespectful. I hope no one accuses me of being paid sha. They can check my postal history on nairaland if they want. I haven't even commented on here for a while and only chipped in my 2cents to this discussion. I guess freedom of speech is no longer allowed.
