Ladoja should be the new olu badan.

. 1. Ibadan has been divided into communities with Mogajis in different families that make a community. There can be many mogajis at a time but. recognized according to their seniority. 2. If any of the heir dies next replaces him and others move up. 3 If an heir is guilty of a gross conduct he can be removed by Olubandan and Ibandan Council of Chiefs

Thank you for taking your time to respond to my questions.

In effect, you're saying that if this one now that's to be enthroned is found grossly wanting, he'll not be enthroned, right!

Again, if the Mogajis from different communities are ranked by seniority, does it mean then that the Olubadan at any given time is the oldest man in Ibadan?

Or is there any other measures used in determining the MOST SENIOR other than age, since family heads are always the oldest men from their respective families?

Could it be that not all Mogajis qualify to become chief?

Maxymilliano:

Same way the kingmakers in Kano had the final say when Lamido Sanusi was dethroned by the Governor of the State abi ?

Echara:


Great insight! Thanks.

What happens when the rightful person has obvious questionable character or a history of brazenness? Will he still enthroned, irrespective of that?

Must the Mogajis come from the royal family or from any family of Ibadan origin?

You are a wawa pig from Ebonyi where other Igbos regard you as being less than dogs. I don't blame you. You are a slave to other Igbos and your children are slaves to others. You can never understand what Kingship entails..

MILLERMannn:

Who do you mean by commoners. Pls explain to me.

We knew before. Kingship in Ibadan is not controversial except if one wants to make a fool of himself. Very simple. Olubadan is traditional Chief, they are only popular as a result of the growth in population of the city. Olubadan are traditionally not rated king in Yoruba land.

Why e go shock me. From Nigeria history class I heard that na that Ife blood still dey put on Benin crown � and na Oranmiyan (from Ife) gv Benin her name. ILE IBINUN (Land of anger) known as Benin today
What a story

seunmsg:


Rubbish! The kingmakers have the final say. Your Seyi Makinde cannot change the decision of the kingmakers. Dr. Lekan Balogun is the next Olubadan of Ibadan.

Asiri1991:


Now I see what is wrong with you. Because your institution called it GNS means all other institutions must call it GNS. Same could be applicable to the distorted history you learned. Isn't it obvious you just committed intellectual harakiri in your bid to sound genius? Take this to the bank: no Bini man or woman has accepted or will accept Bini history abridged and narrated by an outsider. If you really want to know the history of our people, look for the one written by Prof Iru-eweka or the one documented by J. B. Croft, the British Lord in charge of the bight of Benin before your distorted history started making round your newspapers. Our court poets are still alive in the palace of Ewuare to put you through in your areas of difficulty. Say no to wrong analogy.
