Why blame Oba of Lagos for this Display of character now? its just like condemning an albino because of its colour, is it the fault of the albino? A true lagosian is always rude, proud, and mannerless, so if the king exhibit the trait why noise? 1 Like |

sunnyeinstein:Oba Ado was in fact the first Oba of Lagos placed there by the Oba of Benin and he paid tribute and taxes to the Benin Empire. What I am just trying to say is that the Oba of Lagos is occupied by an Awori King and not by a Benin person. Aworis migrated from Ife to that farm settlement named Eko by the Oba of Benin. |

bongo007: You have a point. But how old is the ooni? This is 21st centuries obas/oonis. They are in USA and Europe more than you and I. They have young and new generation wives who want to enjoy , explore and exploits.The ooni of today have Armani, Louis Vuitton and Hugo boss unlike their predecessors. These also made them less fetish. Allow them. 1 Like |

maclatunji: We are talking of Yoruba land, Mr Know it all You can't compare the Obi of Onitsha with a king in Ebonyi, just because they are from different states Even the Nigerian constitution recognizes some thrones over others Please always read to understand. I beg you The Ooni and Oba of Lagos have different ranks in the Yoruba Kingdom 3 Likes |

izzou: This is different from saying the Oba of Lagos is not a 1st Class King. You did not create the concept and you should not use it wrongly, every state has 1st class, 2nd class and 3rd class Kings. Stop extending your show of ignorance by arguing. |

Historically the Ooni was never an Oba but the chief priest of Ododuwa. All desendants of past Oonis were ment to be chief priest to the numerous shrines in Ile-Efe. It was the politicians of old western region in their quest to forge a common yoruba unity that elevated the the Ooni to an Oba, so rather than the Ooni being the chief priest to the descendants of Ododuwa ( current first class yoruba Obas) he was elevated above them, most of the Obas have never accepted this, that is why the Oba of Lagos, the Awujale of Ijebu, the Alaafi of Oyo and numerous others that know their history have never accepted the Ooni's superiority because it was the creation of the old western region politicians. This new Ooni know this hence the reason he is all over the place to crave relevance. It is like the politicians in the Uk elevating the Arch Bishop of Canterbury to king of England, the Arch Bishop is like the chief priest to the British Monarchy. His role is to officiate in royal christenings, marriages, crowning of a new king or queen, royal burials etc. The Ooni is the equivalent in yoruba land. The Ooni is not suppose to be an Oba this has sees been the age long frictions between the past and present Ooni and some yoruba Obas. 2 Likes |

maclatunji: I said Yoruba land. You keep saying state. If you love to argue, I don't The Ooni throne is far far higher and recognized first in the Nigerian constitution before the Oba of Lagos I repeat, Oba of Lagos is not a first class oba If you have a problem with this,please scroll down or look for someone else to confirm your point 1 Like |

Let me paint the picture clearer for those that know, or have forgotten.... Oba Of Lagos is just a oba of Lagos city, not of Lagos State... he has no power in Epe and Badagry... Ooni of iFe, so far youre a yoruba any where in the world, traditionally hes your king... Theres a difference between disrespecting your elder brother and disrespecting your father, what oba dd was the latter.... Oba of lagos got carried away and tot he was snubbing Ogunwusi, not knowing he snubbed "ooni of Ife" which is a taboo and deserved to be stripped naked and flogged. Ooni of Ife and Oba of lagos are of no rank.... |
Re: Oba Akiolu Snubs Ooni Ogunwusi As Nigerians React (Photo) by rigarmortis: 9:06am On Apr 26, 2017 |

izzou: Hahahahaahahahahaha, so Lagos State is not part of Yorubaland. Before you go showing your ignorance in public, do your research first. Don't just come out and type rubbish. Oya give us the list of 'First class' kings in Yorubaland. #LOL |

bakynes: Yes na, d aworis own d seat. Before oba ado there was regency by benin warriors too. Itwas until after d war campaign they put an awori oba, stillrecognised as eleko before the aworischose to go with their language and called it oba. |
Re: Oba Akiolu Snubs Ooni Ogunwusi As Nigerians React (Photo) by sunnyeinstein(m): 9:32am On Apr 26, 2017 |
bakynes: There was no central kingship in lagos before oba orhogbua conquered the lands and named it eko. Na only baales dey before the kingship, and it wasnt central. All houses in the awori kingdom had to pledge their allegiance to benin in fear of retribution for killing of some of benin's emissaries sent earlier. |

izzou: Well... you make a very good point but I think except they had some sort of beef the Ooni had no reason to greet just the Obi ND ignore the Oba,like I mentioned earlier he was probably just being a gentleman but then again, knowing how arrogant the Oba can be, should have just ignored him, I doubt he expected the Oba to display such extraordinary act of childishness. |

Ojaja ja Ile ote, ojaja ja Ile ija. Ojaja II has his flaws but Oba Akiolu outdid himself. Ojaja's loyalists will soon effortlessly burn Oba Akiolu where it will hurt him most even without being disrespectful to Akiolu's throne. Remember that story of the Ondo king, Obateru that insulted the Ooni last year? |
