The yoruba so called "obas" are all imposters.
The word Oba is actually the title of the emperor of the Benin empire. (The title in full is: Omo n'Oba n'Edo.)
Due to politics, the title was copied by the ooni of ife in the colonial era and soon after all yoruba chiefs and fake chiefs copied it.
The fact that some yoruba chiefs are now claiming emir and trying to dress like emirs is actually totally in line with yoruba trends of borrowing culture from others. What you should know is that soon the yoruba will claim to have thought that culture to the north and the arabs.
Soon the king of saudi arabia will be discovered to be a migrant from ile ife.

emir is an Arabic word for a President or a leader.

you Christians are too ignorant.you shouldn't say all Christian's are ignorant, that's absurd.... direct your speech to the person you're trying to correct not generalize it that way

Although I am not in support of the oba move anyway!

Shafiiimran99:
You are the foolish one cos cos muslims don't pay evil with evil. Muslims are brother, we are one nation hence what they are doin is evil so, the only way we can correct them is to let them realise we one and if they pay no heed their case is with Allah.

TheKingIsHere:
It hit the news yesterday as the Oluwo of Iwoland in Osun state, Oba Adbulrasheed Akanbi no longer wants to be addressed as Oba but as Emir of Iwo land.

To buttress his statement he has released a picture of himself dressed up as an Emir (a northern traditional title) while sitting on the throne.

Here is the link were he denounced the title of Oba and accepted to be called Emir

What do you think?

LarryBee1k:
Everyone should calm down, but where is the tolerance? What have the yorubas Oba done to improve the life of their subjects? Yoruba Christians don't care about us Muslim. They are quick to condemn yourba Muslim. I'm a Muslim and I believe he's doing what's right. If you attended his lecture at NYSC Ede camp, you will know what kinda of person he's. He's a visionary, intelligent and creative person.

The thing I have noticed about Powerful people is they controversial. They attract attention so while the rest of you puppets keep at discussing them. They keep consolidating on the future doing what most others are scared to do.

I see lessons only here.

tamethem:
When you talk they'll say why did you talk.

Muslims and Zombihism whether they are IBO or Yoruba is like 5 ns 6 .


When you hear their Imams Talk " Awon omo iya wa loke Oya". (Our brothers in the North) When the Northerners don't respect or value you. You can't lead them in prayers because they see you as Kafris.

Still the Fools called Yoruba Muslims would be worshiping them.

Why Must you drop your culture and pickup Hausa's culture because you are a Muslim. Stupidity of the highest level.

The kingmakers in Iwo should just depose this silly king if they themselves are not Stupid.

sisisioge:
Sacrilegious!

jrusky:
What did you expect when a town decided to crown no home training, misguided and Yahoo boy as their king

The Oracle that picked him to inherit his father's throne was drunk when he was chosen. I know this guy will mess up.

Good for Ede a fool will always behave like a fool. How earth will you now dumped your fore father lineage and embraced aboki idea if not a fool.

What a shame on Ede people. Systematically importing aboki authority over your forefathers land this guy is a clown. Pls who chose this boy among his father house to be a king? What a disgrace.

so an arabic word is berra dan ur native oba title?

Awoofawo:
Ori man yen ope rara! They should dethrone the Moda4ka.......Anyone that can abide with tradition pertaining the Yoruba's culture as concern Kingship should not seek to ascend the throne. I am not surprise thus because Osun State is full of rascals...from their Governor down to common man in the street, they are all bunch of jokers!....

I thought you yoruba claim there is nothing like yoruba muslim or christians. Why do guys like pretending to be united when you are not. Is it because you don't want the SE and SS to laugh at your confusion?

Guestlander:
This Oluwo must be banished from Iwoland. He is a disgrace to the traditions of his people. The Oba is expected to be the Oba for everyone. The "Emir" is an Islamic title.

Shut up. You don't use such word as Christians are ignorant nor too ignorant.
Why use an arabic word? We all know arabic is peculiar to islam.
Was Nigeria Colonized by the arabs, or is the throne only for muslim?
If a Christian ascend the throne, he should change it to an Hebrew word for king, president, or leader.

Emtol01:
A Christian cannot ascend that throne because Iwo is 98% Muslim.

fk001:



Emir of Jos is a Christian and he takes the title "Emir"



There are a lot of kings from Christian minorities tribes in the North with the title "Emir"




But what the Emir of Osun did was uncalled, to be honest is a slap on Yoruba face
