Although practising a presidential system of government, the important roles played by the monarchs to the development of their societies and Nigeria as a whole cannot be overlooked. In this list we take a look at 10 most powerful Nigerian monarchs that are currently on a throne. 1) Emir of Kano: The Emir of Kano is the head of the Kano Emirate and the Emirate was formed in 1805 during the Fulani Jihad, when the old Hausa Sultante of Kano became subject to the Sokoto Caliphate. His Royal Highness Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II is the current Emir of Kano after succeeding Alhaji Dr. Ado Abdullahi Bayero who ascended the throne in 1963 and ruled till his death on June 6, 2014. Malam Sanusi before his ascension to the throne was a successful banker and the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. The Banker, a global financial intelligence magazine has conferred on him two awards for the global award for Central Bank Governor of the Year, as well as for Central Bank Governor of the Year for Africa. TIME magazine also listed him on its list of most influential people of 2011. 2) Alaafin of Oyo: The position of the Alaafin of Oyo is one of the most powerful and influential monarchical titles to be attained in Nigeria. The title of Alaafin can also be referred to as Oba in the Yoruba language and the word means king or ruler. The current Alaafin of Oyo is Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III and he ascended the throne in 1970 succeeding Alaafin Gbadegesin Ladigbolu II. So powerful is the position of the Alaafin of Oyo that until 2011, Oba lamidi Adeyemi III was the Permanent Chairman of the Council of Obas and Chiefs in Oyo State, a situation which was reversed by the former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala. The position of chairman is now rotated between the Alaafin and his two rivals, the Olubadan of Ibadanland and the Soun of Ogbomoso. 3) Sultan of Sokoto: The official title is Sultan of Sokoto and includes the title “Amir-ul-Momineen”. The post has become increasingly ceremonial since British rule, but the position of Sultan, still carries a lot of weight with Fulani and Hausa people from northern Nigeria. The current Sultan of Sokoto is Sultan Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar IV and he is the 20th Sultan of Sokoto. He took the mantle of leadership following the death of his brother, Muhammadu Maccido who lost his life in the unfortunate ADC Airlines Flight 53 crash. The position accords him the honour of being considered the spiritual leader of Nigeria’s 70 million Muslims which is roughly 50 percent of the nation’s population. 4) Ooni of Ife: The Ọọ̀ni of Ilé-Ifẹ̀ is the traditional ruler of Ile-Ife. Ife refers to the people while the city is called Ile-Ife and its dynasty goes back hundreds of years. Ile-ife is an acient city in southwest Nigeria and currently sitting on the throne is the reigning OoniAdeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II (born October 17, 1974) Very influential is the position of the Ooni of Ife that in August 2010, he mediated in the dispute between Oyo and Osun states concerning the ownership of Ladoke Akintola University. He is also reputed to have been a major player in determining who became the next governor of Osun state after Prince Olagundoye Oyinlola 5) Dein of Agbor: Agbor also known as Ominije as it was founded by Omini from Aguleri and it is an Igbo town in Delta state. Agbor was once affiliated with the Benin Empire before Benin was conquered by the British. Sitting on the throne is Benjamin Ikenchuku Keagborekuzi who goes by the title of “Dein of Agbor” which is the name of his ruling house (the traditional ruler is usually referred to as Eze or Obi). He was crowned king just two years and four months after his birth following the death of his father making him the youngest monarch ever to ascend a royal throne according to the Guiness Book of Records in 1981. Following his coronation, he left the shores of Nigeria to pursue his academics and returned to Agbor in 2001. He was appointed the fourth Chancellor of the University of Ilorin by former president Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006 making him the youngest vice chancellor of a federal university. He is Officer in the Order of the Crown, Belgium and also the Vice-Chairman, Delta State Traditional Rulers Council. 6) Oba of Benin: The Oba of Benin, or Omo N’Oba, is the traditional ruler of the Edo people and head of the historic Eweka dynasty of the Benin Kingdom. Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa I was crowned ‘Oba of Benin Kingdom’ in 1979, making him the 38th Oba of Benin and the head of the traditional state of Benin. Since his ascension to the throne, he has used his position to settle disputes between politicians such as resolving the dispute between Anenih and former Edo state Governor Lucky Igbinedion. The current Oba of benin is Eheneden Erediauwa 7) Oba of Lagos: Although holding no political power, the Oba of Lagos is usually sought for counsel and sponsorship by politicians. The King of Lagos is the traditional and ceremonial head of Lagos, a historical Yoruba kingdom that went on to become one of the largest cities in Africa after first giving its name to Lagos State, the acknowledged financial heart of contemporary Nigeria. The reigning Oba of Lagos is his Royal Highness Oba Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu I who was took up the crown of king in 2003. He is also known as the Eleko of Eko ![]() The Kingdom of Warri is a traditional state based on the town of Warri in Delta State, Nigeria. The Olu of Warri is the head of the Itsekiri people and the position is currently held by Godwin Toju Emiko who had his coronation on the 2nd of May, 1987. He was made a member of the Warri Traditional Council since 1983 and was also a Member of Warri Local Government Council, where he served in several capacities. A lawyer by profession and the second university graduate to ascend the great throne of Warri Kingdom. 9) Obi of Onitsha: The post of Obi of Onitsha is recognized by the state and federal government as he is regarded as a representative of his people. He is the traditional leader of Onitsha in Anambra state and Igwe Nnayelugo Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe currently sits on the throne. Born on 14 May, 1941, he had his coronation on the 3rd of June, 2002 and has since then contributed significantly to the development of his people. 10) Olubadan of Ibadan: The title Olubadan means “Lord of Ibadan” and it is the royal title of the king of Ibadan land. It usually takes decades to groom an Olubadan for the mantle through stages of chieftaincy promotion, thus meaning that justabout any male born title-holder of the metropolitan center is a potential king. Olubadans are usually appointed from the two ruling lines to the throne, Egbe Agba (civil) and Balogun (military) onrotational basis following the death of a monarch. The 11 high chiefs that formed the Olubadan-in-council, apart from the Seriki and Iyalode, are recognised as the traditional head of each of the 11 LGs in Ibadanland. They are appointed as presidents of customary courts, who are expected to adjudicate on matrimonial, land, boundary and other communal disputes. Oba Saliu Adetunji is the current Olubadan and although the position like many other monarchical positions is now largely symbolic, the Olubadan remains a prominent figure and has influence on matters of local politics as well as question political leaders on issues such as violence, corruption and lack of true democracy in the region. |

IYALODE EFUNSETAN
ANIWURA(IYALODE
IBADAN) Efunsetan Aniwura, the great Iyalode of Ibadan,
was a wealthy and powerful woman of unusual boldness,
strength and intelligence. According to accounts of books,
biographies and films about her, she reigned as the Iyalode
of Ibadan for years. No light was shed about her husband
but she had only one
child (girl), who died at a very young age, between the
age...s of 19 and 22 years whilst in labour. Efunsetan was a
very close friend of Madam Tinubu the Iyalode of Egba. She
was a wealthy woman in their days. Till date it is said that
Efunsetan was the boldest, most powerful and wealthiest
Iyalode that reigned in Yoruba land. Her glory was rare and
could not be compared with any other during her reign.
Efunsetan was a business woman who travelled round the
country to buy products like bitter kola, kola-nut, cocoa,
etc, she was well-known among the Hausa and the western
states.“She was among the first women that had business
transaction with the white men.This also helped Ibadan in
civilizing the people”. Efunsetan had her own warriors and
slaves like the king and released them for war in favour of
her people. During her days, she helped to improve the
economy of Ibadan through business transactions. She was
also a good employer of labour. She was among the first
women that had business transaction with the white
men.This also helped Ibadan in civilizing the people. She
was loved by all. Although a very strict woman, she was
also very nice to her slaves and employees. She gave out
gift and money to them freely at times without measure. A
story was cited about a slave of hers who delivered twins in
her absence. At her return, she gave her food, clothing,
pomade, even money. She gave out her slaves in marriages
and even conducted naming ceremonies for them, but all
these stopped after the death of her daughter. After the
death of her daughter, every thing took a new turn. She was
no longer submissive to God or the King, for according to
her, God has failed her. So, God should manage his heaven
while she managed her own earth. She killed her slaves at
will for committing atrocities either by beheading,
poisoning, etc. She gave a sanction that no cry of a child
must be heard in her domain, neither must conception,
courtship nor marriage take place. Any female that
conceived would either die or have the pregnancy
terminated by forceful abortion depending on her
(Efunsetan) choice while the man responsible would die.
Efunsetan was said to be powerful in terms of diabolic
powers. It was not stated if she actually belonged to any
occult groups like the ifa, osun, witches, etc, but she had
unusual powers which were common mostly among the
witches. After beheading one of her slaves for getting
pregnant for another of her slaves, even though her younger
brother claimed he was responsible. Her brother conspired
with her slaves to save the life of the slave girl. She refused
all pleas from friends and family members. She went ahead
to kill the girl by beheading, her right in the village square.
Several attempts were made by her salves and slave’s lover
and her friend to prevent Esunsetan from killing her (to save
her). She found out through her powers and ended up in
killing them instead. It was after this that the king ordered
her to be brought to the palace dead or alive, since every
effort in summoning her to the palace had failed. At a
second thought, he (king) decided to go with them robed in
all kinds of charms. At her house she asked for their reason
in her house, which she was told, she asked if she could be
excused to pick something. She went back into the room
and killed herself with majele (poison) saying “kaka ki ileku
ile oya saa” – Meaning it is better to die than to face the
shame of being arrested, ridiculed or punished. After her
death all her slaves were set free, some returned to their
villages while some remained in Ibadan and Oyo. Efunsetan
was a woman of great principle. She was also beautiful,
wealthy and proud, which led to her destruction.

it's a shame on a graduate dat is making bias statement on dis 2015 batch B pop disparity. let's look at it from this angle, many of us when applying for admission for our undergraduate program in our various institution of studies, we were nt given admission d same date and dat does nt affect when we were to graduate because irrespective of when we were given admission, we all graduated at the same time ceteris paribus. similarly, both stream 1 and stream 2 both belong to the same batch 2015 B and I Dnt see any reason why we should pass out different time and moreover our id card expires Oct 6th and people like me I have passed through a lot in this service everybody knows how rivers state is so expensive and have timed my calculation to endure for d few times dat remain cos am not enjoying dis service at all and again still getting frustrated by the ppa I serve. my advice to u ppl in support of d disparity is to just imagine urself in we stream 2 shoes, how would u feel with dis economic hardship spending additional wasteful month on nyshit? to ppl lyk me I Dnt send abt d allawee if Dats wot will make dem to hold me for anoda month, nyshit should hold their money 4 Likes |
