Who funded the building of that lovely palace?

The last time I checked Osun State collected N6m as their revenue allocation.


Super beautiful palace by the way.

beautiful fence. I can't build a beautiful house only to use some tall wall fence to cover it. The beauty of my house is supposed to be seen. I love the pillar and iron fencing. The gate is beautiful.

Yoruba race doesn't start and stop in Osun you know? In my opinion Ooni is the most important and most 'powerful' King in Africa. There is a reason he was called the black Pope by the Europeans (Samuel Johnson, History of Yorubas).
In view of his importance couple with the wealth of the Yorubas, I am sure they can easily generate enough funds to build something more expensive.



Edit: for those who are more likely to mention Alaafin of Oyo. The original concept of power, the sacred is more critical than the profane IMO. In terms of sacredness of Yoruba culture, the spiritual heart of Yoruba culture, the religion of Yoruba culture which permeates the kingship institution, Ooni remains the foremost, which essentially makes him the high priest of yoruba community

Ooni is rich, and the sugar mummy, one mama Daisy may be paying more now that he's a king.

No amount of encomium can be used to describe your vast knowledge, you look so young to know so much about the Yoruba history, No yours is beyond reading ma'am. I humbly salute you princess..

I agree. The fence really compliments the palace. This reminds me of Buckingham palace.
