Hierarchy/ranking Of Yoruba Obas - Alake Of Egbaland by Ctorch: 6:11pm On Nov 21, 2021 |
Hierarchy/Ranking of Yoruba Obas - Alake of Egbaland ABEOKUTA—The Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, yesterday, declared that the Ooni of Ife remained the highest in the ranking of Yoruba obas. Oba Gbadebo, who stated this while receiving the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi in his Ake, Abeokuta, Ogun State palace, said the Ife monarch is the highest of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland. The Ooni, who arrived the palace of the Alake of Egbaland around 3:35p.m. with the retinue of his officers, was received by Oba Gbadebo at the entrance of the palace in company of his wife, Dr. Tokunbo Gbadebo, and the Secretary to the State Government, Taiwo Adeoluwa. The Ooni listed the Alaafin of Oyo and the Oba of Benin as second and third, respectively, in the order of ranking. He listed his own title, the Alake of Egbaland as the fourth while the Awujale of Ijebuland occupies the lowest rung of ladder. The Alake however, identified ego as the cause of disunity among traditional rulers and peoples in Yorubaland. He said the promotion of selfish aggrandizement had been the bane of development in the area. According to him, it had become imperative for the people of Yorubaland to continue to accord the necessary respect to the institution of the Ooni of Ife. While speaking on the recent visit by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to the Ooni of Ife in his palace , the Alake said Obasanjo has demonstrated respect for culture , who, inspite, of the age difference prostrated for the Ife monarch. The Alake also commended the Ooni for the humility he has continued to exhibit since his ascension of the ancient throne. In his remarks, Ooni Ogunwusi lamented the lack of unity among the traditional rulers in Yorubaland. He stressed that the move towards achieving unity in Yorubaland has commenced since his coronation as the Ooni of Ife. Ooni emphasised that love and unity of purpose ought to precede the much agitated progress of Yorubaland, promising that he and other traditional rulers in Yorubaland would pursue the goal. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/oonis-highest-ranking-yoruba-oba-alake/ |

Dear yoruba people, please stop mentioning Benin. The Oba of Benin is not a yoruba monarch, you guys copied his title "Oba" and nobody is complaining, but stop stalking us now, ok ... Your oduduwa is yoruba version of superman, a pure fiction which is not based in reality. But wait, you guys are just trying to generate traffick by trolling Edo people with this. I'm out. The Oni of Ifa is a subject of the alafin by the way. The word yoruba belongs to the alafin and the word Oba belongs to the emperor of Benin. So what exactly belongs to the Oni of Ifa except that silly fairytale of imaginary oduduwa coming from the sky with a golden chain/parashute ? 2 Likes |

Ooni of ife is a chief priest... And not a king The Oduduwa history was created by ajayi Crowther and then revised by Samuel Johnson to unite the Yoruba people The oba benin decided to be under the political umbrella of yorubas after amalgamation for political benefit and the history of Oduduwa coming to benin was coined from imagination The oba of benin historically had nothing to do with ife until 1920 |

Nonsense. If Ooni of Ife cannot dictate for Olubadan of Ibadan, then he's not superior to Olubadan. The earlier we understand that these kings' powers ends within the jurisdiction the better for everyone. Na this kind talk dey provoke the Olugbo of Igbo Kingdom |
