The History Alafin Of Oyo Will Not Want You To Know by AKYEMITE(m): 9:46am On Jan 24, 2020
OONI ORANMIYAN AND OYO HISTORY

Alafin Of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi is promoting his image as if, he is an indispensable personality.
Where as Onisabe of sabe, Onipopo, owa Ajibokun (obokun) of Ilesa, orangun of ila, Alaketu of Ketu to mention but a few were never for once behaved like that.

The aforementioned obas (Kings) are direct children of Oduaa while Alafin is a grandson and the last born of his father Ooni Oranmiyan.
The fact is that before the existence of the Alafin Ajaka, king Eweka( Owomika) had existed in Benin (Ile Ibinu ). Kindly note that Oranmiyan changed the name from Ado (corrupted to Edo) to Ile Ibinu. Oranmiyan gave birth to Eweka through princess Erewinde (daughter of last king (Ogiso) of Edo).

By the request of Edo people, Oduduwa sent Oranmiyan to Edo people where he gave birth to Eweka .
Oranmiyan also embarked on another journey through instruction of Ifa Oracle and gave birth to another son (called Osile of Oko but recently changed to Oranmiyan of Oke - Ona, Egba) at a town called Oko (renamed oke -Ona).

Ooni Oranmiyan subsequently moved to NUPELAND (Tapa) in present day Niger State. He assisted king Elempe of Nupe (Nupe is known as Tapa in Yorubaland ) to win a war.
King Elempe gave his eldest daughter named TOROSI in marriage to Oranmiyan .
Torosi begat Ajaka alias Dada and sango for Oranmiyan. Oranmiyan left the NUPELAND to establish Oyo Ile (also called Oyo Katunga by Hausa, Borgus & Tapa).

By analysis above, Ooni represent Odududuwa, his son Oranmiyan begat (1) Ooni Lajamisan in Ile - Ife and his descendants are past and current Ooni.
(2)Eweka at Benin in Edo state.
(3) osiele at Oko now called Oke - Ona and lastly
(4) Ajaka and Sango who later now became Alafin. Alafin of Oyo has no town because among the children of Oduduwa, Alafin is the only Oba who has lost his throne, land and kingdom long time ago to the Fulanization during Afonja Era.
Alafin is presently on asylum at Ago - Oja which is now between Ogbomoso and lbadan just for security reason alone.
You can verify this fact from of the family of Oloja of Ago Oja renamed by Alafin Atiba to Ashipa of Oyo (late Chief Amuda Olorunsebi) are his landlords in Oyo where he is presently, that was why he was alledged to have killed Ashipa of Oyo Chief Amuda Olorunosebi (after winning ownership of Oyo land case against Alafin in Supreme court) because the man wanted to expose him as his TENANT. With due respect it would amount to goofing to recognize Alafin by anybody that knows true history as a king in yorubaland. The truth of the matter is that he has no place among the direct children of Odududuwa and is the least among the children of Oranmiyan.
He has no original Home, no throne and no fundamental position by his birth as the grandson of his grandfather. OONI ORANMIYAN AND OYO HISTORY

[So because you fought a war under an empire that has been broken down, relegated and belong to history, then now Yoruba should still be subjugated under collapsed empire. Respect is reciprocal, and our history cannot be distorted by any one. quote author=viyon02 post=86064887]op, this is one of the reason Yoruba race is been ridicule by other race: what I know is Oyo empire became the strongest empire representing Yoruba race in war and civilization before the colonial master.

From your writing I guess you have personal friction with the present Oba, but that does not mean you should disrespect the throne.

My brother no throne was disrespected, just trying to educate people who think otherwise. There are no two ways to truth and sometimes it may be bitter. No disrespect to any one.

OP is a liar... the land fulani took was ilorin, and we all know her history.
About ashipa and Alaafin's land case, it's just too blasphemous for you to say one ashipa was the original landlord of Oyo and the Alaafin is the tenant ( isokuso ). The land battle in court was as a result of lands sold by either party without consulting either party. The ashipa post is highly revered, more like second in command to the king. Only God knows what happened that resulted in his death. So stop spewing rubbish up and down
