Alaafin Oyo: Why Oyomesi, Yoruba Nation Must Get it Right

Picking a wrong candidate will be disastrous to Yoruba Civilisation

By Wale Balogun


The advancement of the Yoruba political culture and traditions is on the threat again. I had written in response to Oluwo last year, detailing why the essence of our being as a people is not to be cowed by foreign ideas that are inferior to our original ways of doing things. One of the most respected monarchy in Africa is the Oyo empire. Recents events on the election of a new Ikubabayeye, a year after the Alaafin Adeyemi danced to meet the ancestors, is the "rumour" of some power mongers declaring one Prince Gbadegesin on social media.
