Can someone educate me on why there are more Regents in Ondo State.



Ondo happen to have more female rulers than any other state in Nigeria.


I also noticed they are also always very quiet.



I am just interested in knowing.

Because yorubas don't segregate, we give what belongs to a child to the child whether Male or female.

Yes, you're correct


Currently we have about 4 or 5 female Kings. (The ones I know of)
After Ondo comes Ekiti in female rulers.

They can't be loud cuz they are female and not rich. A lot of them are quite young when selected and its not like they come from very rich families that would leave a huge inheritance for them. They don't even earn the same govt allocation a king gets. I believe its half of what a king gets a regent will get. From what I read, the govt official said if they give them the full allocation, the regents will not want to leave the throne/post.

They are not rulers per se

They are the first daughter of the recently deceased king

And they will take his place until the kingmakers select a new king

Most of them don't even like the position especially the young ones. The feel it restricts them from living their life fully.

Exactly

And they must not get pregnant on the throne
