the stupid youths were forming no leaders, generation woke bla bla bla. Dj switch also escalated the violence. Blocked roads for over a week instead of taking maybe one lane. They turned it to food fest and carnival too.

I laugh when I see ignoramus on nairaland condemning aregbesola.

Do you know that every single student in both primary and secondary school in Osun gets afrre school uniform annually from the Govt ? That reduction in cost of production is one of the reasons for the uniformity?

Don't even let me start with the school feeding which the UN has adopted wholesale for all African nations. Are you even conversant with His giant strides in infrastructural development?


STFU if you don't know instead of defaming a good and model administrator

viyon02:
From your writing I guess you have personal friction with the present Oba, but that does not mean you should disrespect the throne.

You forgot to address the root cause of everything.

My mum is from Ugbo and the Ugbos are the real aborigines of Ile-Ife, then Oduduwa came and murdered our King, Obatala.

We all can agree that Oduduwa is not the progenitor of the Yorubas, then who were the pre-existing Yorubas?

The Ugbos believe Oduduwa came from Benin, to overthrow Obatala and take over the throne. The Ugbos felt angered by this and started

carrying out guerilla attacks on Ile-Ife to claim their city back and later came the Moremi story, where she was captured by the Ugbos and she

married the King and later escaped and later leaked their secrets.

Moremi is a heroine to present day Ile-Ife, but she is also a traitor to the Ugbos. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Let us reason this issue out as matured individuals and let's not resort to insults on our Kings, we are all Yorubas at the end of the day.

My brother, if that is the case and your mum and your king is tired of that village Ugbo, it is very easy now, no need to fight just come and buy some land in ife and build yourself a home so that you can enjoy the fresh air brought by our Imperial majesty oba Adeyeye. Jealousy they worry your king!!! I pity him

sapele914:
I believe you meant to say the Ooni is the one challenging him. Oba has always stood his ground even against the late Sijuwade.

SillyMods:
Waste of time and money.

This is a clear confirmation that PDP lacks wisdom. On what ground are they calling for cancelation of the election?

1. That PDP had internal issues before the election and as such INEC should have postponed it? Which law allows this nonsense?

2. That INEC obeyed a valid court order by replacing Jegede with Jimoh Ibrahim? INEC couldn't have acted otherwise. It has to obey every valid court order. It's same way it later obeyed the Appeal court order by accepting Jegede.

3. That APC infiltrated your party (according to you) to destabilize you, and INEC should have postponed the election?

4. Vote buying is engaged in by all parties and there is no way that is INEC's problem.

The fact that Akeredolu even beat Jegede in his own local government is a testament to the fact that PDP was rejected by Ondo. So, you have no reasonable ground to challenge the best election so far in the history of Prof Mahmood's Chairmanship.

And the inconclusive elections we've had were a result of violence and disruptions by political thugs hired and sponsored by you politicians. In those cases, the best thing to do was to reject the violence by declaring the elections inconclusive. When politicians finally realize that their violence will not be rewarded by INEC, they'd behave well hopefully.
you have turned yourself to judge, mr know it all, let judiciary play there role and wait for your next life to be a judge bcus it is late for u already

Ovokoo:

That's a personal opinion. The people ahead of the Ooni deserve to be there. We all know there's no traditional ruler as powerful as the Sultan as he also doubles as the head of the Muslim community in Nigeria. The Emir is also very powerful in the north and is highly revered throughout the country. The Oba of benin is arguable the most powerful traditional ruler in the south and then the Ooni before the Alaafin. We're all entitled to our opinions anyways.

macof:
The superiority of Yoruba kings lays with Oduduwa

Oranmiyan is a grandson of Oduduwa as the son of Okanbi

Oranmiyan founded Oyo and his descendants are the royal families of Oyo and Bini. Ooni also claims to be a descendant of Oranmiyan

Oranmiyan was never the rightful heir of Ife but he
Acquired it due to the absence of other princes. .plus his military might

According to Ife, Oranmiyan returned to Ile-Ife after establishing a politically strong system and left Oyo to Ajaka, Sango and the Oyo mesi, He was the 6th king of Ife since Oduduwa.
Oranmiyan had a son(Lajamisan) whose son(Lagadoogun) is the father of all ruling clans in Ile-Ife. The spot were he died is were opa Oranyan is till date.

While there's no doubt that Alaafin Lamidi is of Oduduwa descent, there's doubt about Ooni Sijuwade
Alaafin says the chief priest who the name "Ooni" is gotten from is the ancestor of the Ife kings after Oranmiyan refused the title . but fact from Ife is that this Ooni was a member of Oduduwa's household too. ..not less a prince than others...although Oyo reject this

Oyo claims Oranmiyan was never king at Ile-Ife neither were any of his children that Oba Sijuwade doesn't know his ancestry.

So if the Alaafin is right, Ooni can never be superior to any Royal descendant of Oduduwa, but if Ooni is right it does give him superiority, with Alaafin coming second.

In Yoruba history Oyo has been the greatest nation, modern Yoruba language is from Oyo, they once ruled over most parts of Yorubaland giving protection to Ile-Ife.

Oranmiyan set Oyo as the political and military stronghold of Yoruba, He collected taxes from his brothers and cousins and stored all of it in Oyo.

That Oyo is practically gone, because even Ibadan is ahead of both Ile-Ife and Oyo

In my opinion Ooni is the head in matters of spirituality as even those Cubans and Brazilians practicing Yoruba spirituality pay homage to Ooni, and also the only one who can resolve royal conflicts as all crowns come from Oduduwa. ..which the Ooni represents as heir. . but in other matters the Alaafin is head.

It's just a matter of stipulating duties and responsibilities but these are still the top 2 Obas in the minds of many


It's like the Pope and kaiser in medieval holy roman empire
