SirShymexx:Its the same. He is also refered to as Olowo Eko. Btw, here is the Ijebu King, Awujale Ademuyewo Afidipote with the Governor of the Lagos Crown Colony, Sir Gilbert Thomas Carter (?) in 1852 at Epe, the Naval Base of the Ijebu Kingdom in present day Lagos state 35 Likes 1 Share

Rilwayne001: SirShymexx: Wrong. The Eleko of Eko is different from the Oba of Lagos but in a way similar. The difference is the control they have. The Eleko's territory is limited to Lagos Island and environs but that changed when the constitution made the crown the head of all traditional crowns in Lagos state. At this point, the Oba of Lagos was coined as the Oba of Lagos is the Oba of Lagos State not just Lagos Island like the Eleko 36 Likes 3 Shares |

Mynd44: Lol. Don't let us derail the thread - but Oba of Lagos is still only the Oba of Lagos Island, or maybe Aworiland. I don't think he is the Oba of the whole state. It is not a political title. You can't extend ya traditional title beyond ya jurisdiction. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

SirShymexx:I did not say there are only 5 but the last I heard was there are 5..there might be more though I know the Alaafin, Olubadan, Ooni are among. Perhaps the Deji of Akure and Soun of Ogbomosho (not sure of the Soun though) 2 Likes |

Mynd44: It is the duty of each state government to grade traditional stools as they deem appropriate. We have more than five first class traditional rulers in Lagos state alone not to talk about the entire Yorubaland. 6 Likes |

Mynd44: First class in which aspect? Is it in state or in a standard Yoruba concept. At state level, we may have many first class king depending on the size and importance of their community in the state. In a standard Yoruba concept, we don't have many first class king and I don't think oba of Lagos is among. Mynd44: The traditional first class Yoruba kings are Orogun of Ila, Alafin of Oyo, Oni of Ife, Alake of egba and oba of bennin. The next in hierachy are: Olubadan of Ibadan, awojale of Ijebu, Timi of Ede, owa obokun Of Ijesha, onokoyi, Osamawe of ondo etc The third level are Soun of ogbomosho, olofa of offa, akinrun of ikinrun etc. Some of our popular kings are made popular because of the mordern development which favour their community and they become more popular. For instance Deji of Akure in not bigger than Osamawe of ondo but since akure in the capital and Deji is the king of Akure, his throne overshadow the king of ondo town. 25 Likes 7 Shares |
