The Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo has maintained his stand on the contentious ranking of Yoruba Obas.

The Alake who spoke through his Special Adviser on media Affairs, Chief Lai Labode said he does not want to engage in controversy with anyone. He had on Saturday stirred the hornet’s nest, declaring that the Ooni of Ife remained the highest in the ranking of Obas in Western Nigeria.

The Alake who identified ego as the cause of disunity among traditional rulers of Yoruba extraction, said the Ife monarch is the highest of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland.

The respected monarch pledged to release evidence to back his position against Oba of Benin.

The Alake had listed the other Obas below the Ooni to include the Alaafin of Oyo and the Oba of Benin coming second and third, respectively, in that order.
He also listed his own title, the Alake of Egbaland as the fourth while the Awujale of Ijebuland occupies the fifth position.

The Alake said, “Ooni is one of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland. The others are in order of the way they are classified on supremacy basis. After the Ooni is the Alaafin. After the Alaafin, the Oba of Benin. After the Oba of Benin, it comes to the Alake of Egbaland and the fifth and by no means the last or the least, the Awujale of Ijebuland."

In fact, sources say the Alake had sent an evidence to support his position. Watch out for the evidence.

Quote me negatively n receive it hot... Kids shouldn't quote me cos am not a promoter.. I hate patronizing upcoming artiste. So keep off

The Alake is looking for cheap publicity.

The Ooni would never come out to say anything as petty as this, the Oba of Benin remains the Oba of Benin, Benin is not part of western region as the Alake is insinuating, this is needless brouhaha.

After they have scammed GEJ

Oba of Benin(Oba Eweka 1) was the Greatest Oba(monarch) in west Africa) with over 120000 warriors,Yoruba lands was part of Benin kingdom which was one of the Greatest and largest Kingdom in West Africa..as of 17th century,Benin has a landmass of 90,000km sq

Mulattoclaro, Spannishkid, spanishkid.

...

I was taught in my yoruba class that oduduwa landed in Ife, he had a son who in turn beget 7 sons and edo is one of them but he gave the kingship to his last son who became oni of ife, edo later migrated to bini and became d oba of bini abi no be so? Correct me if am wrong.

I think the binis should stop reply those Party-frisk oba from the west.
because if you wrestle with a pig, you become a pig as well.

everybody knows that the Oba of Benin is paramount to all yoruba Obas.

Pwayne2016:

Please continue to dream in the Lord....we love you but God loves you most.

This Alake of Egbaland needs a chill pill. The Binis in their conservative nature had been mute over this alleged history as being said by the Yorubas but more evidence point to the Bini version of history... No Oduduwa falling from the sky.. Your Oduduwa was Owodo, a descendent of Ogiso dynasty who was unjustly barnished by the palace but later became a ruler in Ife but was later called back after the truth was revealed but he felt he was too old and send his son Ekerledahan who established the Eweka dynasty, an ancestor of this present Oba of Benin lineage
