Ovokoo: I think it is high time we started cautioning and educating some persons bent on misinforming and causing unnecessary hatred and unfounded attacks amongst fellow Nigerians. The Iku baba yeye Alase Ikeji Orisa Ooni of Ife is never and can never be relegated to such position amongst traditional rulers in Nigeria. The Ooni of Ife has always been the Co-Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria, NCTRN in which His Eminence, Sultan of Sokoto is the Chairman. This position is strongly reinforced by the annoucment of the new Ooni Ogunleye Adewusi upon his appointment as the Co-chairman. And for the writer to state that the Alaafin is a rival of the Ooni, only exhibits his level of ignorance and lack of proper grasp of the history of Nigeria. The position of Sultan as number one today is because of his position as a traditional ruler and the leader of the Muslim faith in Nigeria by virtue of the legacy of the late Usman Dan Fodio. While the stool of the Ooni Covers the entire western Nigeria.This a testament to the fact that the yorubas are known to have derived their source and origin frm Ife. He(the Ooni) represents a unifying figure of the Yoruba race. @Ovokoo Pls it is not a must you do a post on Nairaland page. You can expend your time,energy and reasoning faculty(if present) on something better that appeals to common sense. 11 Likes 1 Share |

gregyboy: Beyond Benin who respect and fear Oba of Benin? Wtf is he? Most popular? Like seriously? Ooni is the King of all Yorubas, even beyond Nigeria. Apart from Sultan of Sokoto Ooni is the most powerful Oba in Nigeria. 5 Likes |

Traditional institution is ranked according to the population they cover or have authority over... Historically, politically and what have u Sultan of sokoto #1 Ooni of ife (the birthplace of the Yoruba race, and whence the Oba of Benin came from) #2 3 4 5 How ever u wish the rest, but that one and two are at par... Forget the igbo people becos kingship and the traditional institution just became a wide spread phenomenal. Apart from places like igbo ukwu, and nri (Impo). 3 Likes |

Ovokoo: @Ovokoo You should have done your research well before embarking on this kind of exercise. |
Re: The 5 Most Powerful Traditional Rulers In Nigeria by opefid(m): 1:27am On Nov 11, 2016 |
Ovokoo: Your response to what @AKYEMITE told you goes to show that you do not understand how the system works. This positions you are talking about all has a long history and tradition that can not be swept under the carpet. 1. why will you bring your personal opinion to confuse Nigerians. Your personal opinion amounts to nothing on this particular issue. 2.The only person who can be rightly said to be deserving of the number on position is the sultan. This is because he is the leader of the Muslim faith in Nigeria. 3. Does the fact that the Emir is highy revered across the country make him superior to the Ooni? The National Council of Traditional rulers in Nigeria has settled the question. The Ooni is above the Emir as a Co-Chairman. 4. That the Oba of Benin is the most powerful in the south. How? Is it by the coronation process, influence, wealth or the extent of territory? The Oba of Benin can be said to be one of the most repected Oba in Nigeria if not the most respected. The secret must have been due to the way they hold their culture and tradition in high esteem. The Oba seldomly goes out and does not interfere in party politics. There is a big difference between Authority/influence and respect. The Ooni's sphere of influence and authority spreads across the lenght and breadth of Yoruba land and he is also respected. While the Oba of Benin's sphere of respect spreads across the entire country. And he also wields a ferocious authority and influence over Benin kingdom. 4 Likes |

AKYEMITE: Two captains same time. The sultan is the highest and most influential. Co-chairman is written in pieces of paper. Maybe ooni get better juju but incase of influence and power sultan remains their oga. |
