kidap:
Nigerian Traditional Rulers often derive their titles from the rulers of independent states or communities that existed before the formation of modern Nigeria.


They don’t have formal political power, they command respect from their people and have considerable influence.

Below are some titles of kings/ traditional rulers in Yoruba land.


If you know some other titles of Yoruba traditional rulers/ kings not listed above, kindly add it in the comment box.
Thank You!
