so my traditional ruler no get levels sef

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.

Afonjas:
Afonjas mentioning Obi of Onitsha

canalily:
So Igbos are not regarded with their Obi of Onitsha

jolomiurenyi:
DON'T FORGET

THE OLU OF WARRI
OGIAME IKENWOLI.

Eastactivist:


Igbos doesn't regard those people that mentioned...

They can't Lord over igbos that's the koko

They can only be powerful in their region not in Nigeria.

So the mod that took this to front page is misinformed and did it out of sentiment, partisan and emotionally

ajokebelle:
The Late Oni would have been the Third or second most powerful king if he were still alive, but this present modern day Oba has reduced some of the respect attached to the Title with his waka about, unnecessary familiarity and programs that are not really necessary, attending ceremonies upandan.

I think the Emir is also second on the list due
to the fact that he was once the governor of CBN, so that added more power to his position.

mcocolok:


No be only Obi of onitsha , na Mikel Obi
