ak47mann: Dike i her surname "DIKE" is a core igbo name you cannot deny that,she live with her husband in USA his name is still withheld at the momentAK47, you must be an ESUT graduate. Shame on you for not having an understanding of what you posted. The said regent is not Ibo, but Yoruba. She is the daughter of the late king but married to an Ibo man. 2 Likes |

St_Black: Never knew Iboes are this enthusiastic when they feel a string of relationship is attached with Yorubas. SEE JOY NITORI OLOUN. They fall over one another wanting to own a piece of Yoruba. This news already is in Aba and Onitcha and dont be surprised to soon hear that an Ibo woman was elected (they dont understand cultural coronation so it is an election to them) as Oba of Lagos (they forget its Akure, because they want Lagos by all means). When the rumor about Obj being an Ibo man first surfaced they were popping champagne. Till today most of them still believe it even though it has repeatedly been proven wrong. 3 Likes |

ak47mann: Am telling you now the product of Adetutu Adesida and Mr Dike will likely become the next OBA after the rein of the new regent. Lol, let me make it simpler for you. Like many said, she is Adele-Oba (One who holds the throne in wait) not Oba. She will NEVER become Oba not now and not in the future. Princess are never crowned, only Princes are made kings in Akure. Her children are Princes and Princess of Akure no doubt because they have royal blood but they will NEVER become Oba (Deji) of Akure. Not because she married an Igbo man but because Kings are not picked from royal daughters but from Royal Sons. 11 Likes |

OAM4J:Never say never.When Oba Oyekan died,his first son contested for the Obaship of Lagos,by right of his mother's house,Akinsemoyin.He lost,but he was considered still. Matrilineal line,to some extent,is considered in Yorubaland. 1 Like |

^^^^^^^ A candidate from a maternal line will only be considered worthy of a throne IF there are no other options. Yoruba place a major emphasis on paternal link in the cases of their throne especially. This woman's kids are princes & princesses and will never be considered too 'original' anyway given the maternal link and their father not being from Yorubaland. This is not to down-talk the Igbo but even in Yorubaland there are some towns/family houses often 'swept to the side' in matters such as this. 5 Likes |

pokur: He succeeded through his matrineal blood but is his father a foreigner? In Yoruba society the family compounds belong in totems and worship a deity. There is no family compound in Yorubaland that is excluded from this. 2 Likes |

pokur: First before I ask anything, are you Yoruba? Then if you are, Im sorry to say you didnt talk like one. No offence meant please. If, you know how much less relevant a mother side is in the matter of Obaship, you wouldnt talk this you just said. ..and BTW, as I ask, are you Yoruba? 1 Like |

pokur: The crossover from Akinsemoyin to the Ologunkutere dynasty itself was on the occassion of a matrilineal waiver when the son of the sitting Erelu (Regent) was coronated the Oba. Her husband, an Ijesha man, was from a totemic family, worshipped Yoruba deity and was an Ogboni templar. 1 Like |

pokur: All applications will be looked into but know for sure that the Kingmakers know who they are looking for. Except by some clear and undisputed "divine pronouncements" or absence of any royal sons from the next Ruling family, or political powers interference, the kingmakers will not approve such application. 3 Likes |
