And Obi of Onitsha is not there, meaning their king the Obi of Onitsha has never been dethroned since it began in mid 16th century.
I think the present king Nnaemeka is the 21st King of that kingdom.

Igbos don't pay too much attention to kings/queens.
First man recruited by white man to function as a king in my hometown was made a laughing stock for more than 50 years!

oyatz:
High Chief Agbo Obaseki was NOT an Oba, he was a British appointed administrator (at best a Regent).


Nobody in Bini dead or alive ever call him Oba of Bini. The surrounding tribes like Ishan, Afemai or the Yorubas never related with him as the Oba of Bini.

Eweka was not the first ruler of Benin kingdom, yet he is the first Oba.
Calling a rat an elephant won't make it an elephant.
The Oba title is meaningless without real power.

Ogboru is 19th century Ooni of Ife dethroned mischievously by Ife Palace Chiefs who got tired of his 70yrs long reign. He was deceived by trick to come out of his place to come and see something at the Atiba square of the ancient Ile-Ife town and wasn’t allowed to return to the palace again. He angrily left for another aboard where he founded a little town called Ife-Odan and he settled there. Successive Ooni of Ife like 6 installed after him died in succession under 6months like a sort of throne bewitchment and Ife Chiefs had to search for him at Ife Odan to return back, but he resisted the attempt and gave them his daughter Moropo to make some sacrifices at the palace after which his son Giessi became the next

I know you're Yoruba and you just want to masturbate on something. Now look at that list, the only person on that list removed from his palace by a foreign power is Oba of Benin. Also before the Oba of Benin was deposed, Benin was independent and the British only deposed him after they successfully defeated Benin. Go and read about how they tried making Obaseki Oba in his place. It was strongly resisted. The Journey of a crown Prince to the throne is about 3 months. Benin people already know their next Oba if this one joins his ancestors. The Palace was left in ruins because nobody can stay there except he is Oba. The whole of ringroad belongs to the Oba. The emir of Kano was dethroned and right now another king is in the palace, it never happened in Benin. When Oba Akenzua was playing politics and trying to create the Midwest region out of the Western region, why did Awolowo not dethrone him. No Edo man as a governor will ever dethrone the Oba. 70% of the monarchs in Edo state have their direct lineage to the Palace in one way or the other. So you have cousins and distant cousins of this Oba ruling also as dukes. The federal government might decide to depose him, but it's a waste of time because nobody will be made king till he dies and when he dies, only his son will be made king. There can never be two kings in Benin. One must die for the other to succeed.

the bolded has finally sunk in but you know want to admit that is why you add roforofo story
basic fact the British removed,dethroned,banished the Oba of Benin,bombed the palace and unilaterally installed Obaseki

MelesZenawi:



Well I don't know the kingless state you are from.

But in Anambra state, most towns before the whitemen arrived already has a well structured kingship system.

The British didn't impose warrant chief on any them but worked with the king's.


Stop spreading lies.

Research before you conclude.
Kingdom do exist.

There's nothing like the name Anambra during the colonial era. The Igbo society was a dis-centralised and stateless one, no Igwe, each house present an elder person, the oldest in a family that represent them if there is dispute on how to settle issue or give them information on what is going on. Things fall apart by China Achebe was a good example of the Igbo society before the coming of the colonial masters unlike the North and Yoruba which had a centralized government (Oba, Sultan and Emir) which also made the British indirect rule to be successful in the North and partially successful in the Yoruba land.

It was not successful in the Igbo communities because there was no centralized government.

Was anything like oba of Yorubas, if there isn't then your logic is weak.

Alafin of Oyo ruled Oyo same as others.

So in Igboland each king rules their domain.

Now I know....U know nothing about your history..... Asking whether there was Oba in those days shows u don't even know the history of Nigeria. Anyway let me help you, there was Oba and Alaafin of Oyo whose empire spread as far as Dahomey present day Benin Republic before the coming of the colonial masters, there was Ooni of Ife before the coming of the colonial masters, there was Oba of Benin before the coming of the colonial masters, there was mai in the Kanuri kingdom before the coming of the colonial masters, there was Sultan and emirs in the north before the coming of the colonial masters. But there was nothing like Igwe or Obi of Onitsha before the coming of the colonial masters because your society was stateless and a Republican.

My son I will advise you to go to any big bookshops and ask of HISTORY OF NIGERIA by TOYIN FALOLA. I am done with you cos I can see u lack knowledge of Nigeria history which that question of whether there was Oba in Yoruba land before the coming of the colonial masters.

Why did he not do it to Akenzua when he broke the Midwest region from the western region. Oba Akenzua was playing politics against the AG then. Go and read about it.

What power did he have to break a region ? You guys are funny. Traditional rulers lobbying the federal government to create a state in their domain is not a new thing. Akenzua lobbyed the federal government to bring a state to his region. What’s wrong with that? That’s is not meddling with politics. Most of the states created by Abacha and Babangida were as a result of traditional rulers demand and lobby. No king has any power in Nigeria to break any region. Una too dey overhype this una Oba.

crackkhaus:

Lol, okay.. did same.

Thank u so much.
That's so thoughtful of u

Here is the list of 20 Kings that have been dethroned in Nigeria.

Ooni of Ife – Ogboru
Ogboru is 19th century Ooni of Ife dethroned mischievously by Ife Palace Chiefs who got tired of his 70yrs long reign. He was deceived by trick to come out of his place to come and see something at the Atiba square of the ancient Ile-Ife town and wasn’t allowed to return to the palace again. He angrily left for another aboard where he founded a little town called Ife-Odan and he settled there. Successive Ooni of Ife like 6 installed after him died in succession under 6months like a sort of throne bewitchment and Ife Chiefs had to search for him at Ife Odan to return back, but he resisted the attempt and gave them his daughter Moropo to make some sacrifices at the palace after which his son Giessi became the next Ooni after him.




Oba of Benin Ovoranwen Nogbaisi (1888 – 1897). He was deposed by the British government in 1897 for monopolizing forms of trade which the British government under Vice Consul Phillips Roberts finds displeasing, hence rooted for his displacement. The Consult tried to evade the Oba’s palace but was stopped by palace’s emissaries who ambushed and killed the two British errands sent. This lead to a military operation under Harry Hawson and Benin City was destroyed and the palace was heavily looted. The Oba was to be hanged but was lucky to escape after his dethronement was announced and was sent on exile in Calabar small town called Essien, where he died in 1914.

The war lasted for a year when Aliyu popularly called the Sango of zaki (the gun runner) or Ali Balads, for his heavy use of explosives in most wars conquered Kano and became the Emir in 1894. He was dethroned in 1903 following an homage visit to the Sultan in Sokoto when the British -French forces attacked Kano and brought an end to his reign. He first exiled to Yola and later Lokoja, the seat of new Northern Nigerian government where he died in 1926.




Emir of Ningi – Dan yaya

Olu of Warri – Erejuwa I
Erejuwa was the traditional ruler of Itsekiri at two different times between 1951-1964 and 1966 – 1989. A Senior Officer with UAC before becoming a king, was unfortunately removed and deposed by NCNC eastern party in 1964, because of his support for Awolowo’s Action group, which is the party of many Prominent Itsekiris. The result of the political rivalry lead to the creation of Midwestern States then. Erejuwa was exiled to a town called Ogbesse, after he was returned by a military government of David Ejoor in 1966 and he reigned till 1989.




Alaafin of Oyo – Oba Adediran Adeyemi II

Oba Adediran was sent away from Oyo town in July 1955 and was exiled in Lagos where he was housed by Alhaji N.B Soule a wealthy NCNC member , after which Gbadegesin Ladigbolu was enthroned as the new Alaafin of Oyo till 1970.





Timi of Ede – Abibu Lagunju
Timi Abibu Languju was acclaimed to be the first muslim Yoruba king in history who reigned between 1855 to 1892 and was deposed and exiled by the British government to Ibadan where he lived with Sunmonu Apampa, the Asipa of Ibadan at that time and he died in 1900. One of his children Raji Lagunju, birthed by an Ile-Ife wife was taken back to her home town, to become the second Chief Imam of Ile-Ife.





Awujale of Ijebu-Ode Oba Adenuga 1892 -1925
Awujale Adenuga Folagbade was made an Awujale of Ijebu Ode on November, 1925. He was 33yrs and was living with his mother in Igbeba, a small village near Ijebu Ode. He was the choice of the “Odi”, (Ijebu kingmakers) for the Tunwase ruling house but his choice didn’t go down well with some local chiefs who felt he was too young and prematurely for the exalted stool. He was eventually deposed in 1929 and exiled to Ilorin, for corruption around forestry fees and influencing the choice of the selection of Oba Onipe of IBU. Oba Ogunnaike succeeded him who also died in 1933.




Akarigbo of Remo – Oyebajo
Oba Oyebajo was the traditional head of Ijebu remo, in his mid twenties and reigned between 1811 to 1915. He was deposed by the British for being a de-facto ruler who refused to regard his principal chiefs (Bademowo – The Lisa of Remo & Awofala, the Losi of and denied them their shared parts of the duly entitled stipends to them, as part of 1914 amalgamation rule that local rulers should be part of native courts. Akarigbo Chief levied many allegations of corruption against him and the British Officer in charge of the Administrative district, H.F Ducoumbe not only deposed him but also sentenced him and two others in prison with hard labour at Ijebu Ode and was released 6months later, after which he later settled in Sagamu.
Alase of Remo, High Chief Awolesi was made the new Akarigbo in a flamboyant coronation ceremony attended by the British Officer, Ducoumbe. Awolesi died shortly on 25th of February 1916 and the British made Oba Oyebayo’s clerk and an educated public writer the new Akarigbo of Remo. With increased disturbances of Oyebajo factions for his reinstatement, he was arrested with another supporter called Ali and banished to Calabar in 1918 where he lived for only just 3months. Ali died in 1922 after his plea of clemency was rejected by the Governor. See accounts of Tunde Oduwobi: The careers of Akarigbo Oyebajo and Awujale Adenuga under the British government & read more.




Osemawe of Ondo – Oba Adekolurejo Jimosun II (Otutubiosun)
The Oba whose reign was from 1918 to 1925 was removed and banished to Ile-Ife in 1925, where he lived and died. It was during the reign of Oba Jimosun that Ondo town had its first secondary school, called Ondo boys high school.
Oba Adenuga was reported to be a wealthy king of Ondo town and was on record to be the one who built the first modern Palace for ondo town. He reigned for 7yrs after which his deposed and chased him away from the town to Ibadan in 1942.





Oba of Lagos – Ibikunle Akintoye & Kosoko
Akintoye reigned twice as Oba of Lagos, first between 1841 to 1845, when he was deposed to Badagry town for his Anti-Slave trade advocacy. He was succeeded by Oba Kosoko who was equally deposed for having a rift with the British government when he resisted submitting Lagos colony to the British and ordered, the British government to meet the Oba of Benin. In retaliation for his gut, the British government brought back Ibikunle Akintoye who had been on exile in Egba and Badagry in 1851. He reigned for the second time till September, 1853 when he died and Oba Dosumu took over. The deposed was later recalled back to Lagos, where he was made an high chief Oloja of Eleko, a salaried title in Oshodi tapa Epetedo. Where he lived and died in 1872.




Emir of Gwandu – Mustapha Jokolo
The Ex -Emir was deposed in 2005, by the Kebbi State government following different allegations levied against him by his Chiefs and was exiled to Kaduna. He was immediately replaced by June 2005 by one Muhammadu Illyasu Bashar, a retired major, who served as a military governor in the old Gongola State between 1976 & 1978. 15yrs, deposed Jokolo is still challenging his dethronement in Court.





Emir of Kano – SIR Mohammodu Sanusi I
Reported to be a powerful Emir of Influence in the colonial days of Northern Nigeria, Sanusi I was the Emir of Kano between 1954 to April 1963, when he was deposed by Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, a distant cousin, after an allegation of financial misappropriation in the emirate. He was deposed to Azare in 1964 and died in Wudil in years after. Sanusi I is the grandfather of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the recently deposed by Emir of Kano who reigned from 2014 to 2020, in a similar instance as his grandfather.





Olofa of Offa – Oba Wuraola Isioye
Oba Isioye was enthroned on the 5th January 1957, and reigned as Offa District head for 2yrs, when he was deposed by Northern Regional Government following, a successful move for Offa Local Court to be recognised and the long used Ilorin’s Alkali Court was abolished. This promoted the Late Saurduna to instigate him being deposed and exiled to Ogbomoso- Kogi Area, where he lived till he returned in 1964. He was reinstated as Olofa till he died in 1969, even though his district title wasn’t returned.






Sultan of Sokoto – Ibrahim Dasuki
The dethronement of Late Sultan Dasuki is probably the most widely reported case of removal of a king in Nigeria by the military government of Abacha in 1996, as almost everyone in late 20’s in Nigeria are aware of the development. There were even songs recorded by musicians to that effect on the continued change of traditions, that the usually saying that a new king can not be crowned while another is alive “T’oba kan o Ku, Oba kan o je”, as waxed by Yoruba Fuji Singer Abbass Obesere. Ibrahim Dasuki removal was rumoured to be related to issues between him and Abacha, on mismanagement of the late Abacha’s relative’s properties. There were also speculation that it was due to reports of his modernist style of rulership and many preferred Sultan Maccido, who later succeeded him.





Olowo of Owo – Oba Olateru Olagbegi II
Unarguably the richest and most influential Olowo of Owo town in Ondo state, Oba Olateru became Olowo in 1941 and reigned till 1966 when he took side with Chief S.L Akintola against Chief Awolowo who was his ally. Of a fact, Awolowo Action Group party was founded right inside Olowo palace and Owo for years experienced political and kingship battle, which came to a climax in 1966 following a cold blooded coup with many properties and lives lost in the course. The people of Owo revolted their King and sent him away on exile where he lived for another 27yrs, and his stool was taken over by Oba Ogunoye. At the demise of Ogunoye, Olateru was reappointed as the new Olowo of Owo in 1993 and spent another 5yrs on the throne till he died in 1998. His eldest son, took over from him in 1999 and reigned for 20yrs.






Deji of Akure – Oba Oluwadamilare Adesina Osupa III
The inglorious exit of Oba Oluwadamilare as Paramount king of Akure is another reminder of the importance of carriage and conduct in kingship, as they are seen as leaders and role models. The king was deposed on 10th of June, 2010 following the beating of his estranged wife at her home in Akure, in what the Ondo state government referred to as, a dishonorable, condemnable and disgraceful conduct unexpected of a king which invoked a section of the state chieftaincy law of 1984 as amended. With an immediate action, a new Deji of Akure Adebiyi Adeshida Afunbiowo II was announced on 13th of August 2010.




Oba Awujale Sikiru Adetona was deposed in 1981 after suspension by a panel of inquiry set up by the then Ogun state governor, Olabisi Onabanjo after which he was found guilty of the charge. He was luckily reinstated by Col. Diya, following a military coup.




Onojie of Uromi Kingdom – Anslem Aidenojie was suspended and later dethroned in 2016 by Former Gov. Adams Oshiomole for abusing a woman and total disregard for constituted authority, for failure to apologize within 2weeks he was given. Gov Obaseki however reinstated the former king in 2018.




Olupoti of Ipoti Ekiti – Oba Oladele Ayeni
The king Oba Isiah Oladele who was alleged to have been wrongly selected in 1987, was thrown out in 2012 after 25yrs of reign.






Eleruwa of Eruwa, Oba Samuel Adebayo Adegbola, sacked by the Supreme court in November 2019 after 21yrs of Reign. He was first dethroned in 2011, after which he filed an appeal but lost the throne 8yrs later.

What you wrote is irrelevant to the fact that High Chief Agbo Obaseki was never an Oba of Bini. Nobody in Bini whether dead or alive ever regarded him as an Oba.

He was the British appointed administrator who collected taxes from the natives and chaired the council of chiefs/elders during the period that the Oba was on exile as a symbol of British rule in Bini.

At best, he can be regarded as a Regent.



The first Oba of Bini was Oranmiyan who started a new dynasty with the title of OBA. He was succeeded by his son, Oba Ewaka-1.

Eweka was not the first ruler of Benin kingdom, yet he is the first Oba.

Go and read your history.

That u guys are kingless doesn't mean others are.

You just made my point that Onitsha and few others had a kingdom again to the Bini does not mean majority of the Igbo do. So making a blanket statement will be appropriate if majority of the Igbo had just like the Yorubas or Hausa.


Meanwhile if I may ask out of curiosity:

what is the monarchy system like in your community?

Has it been in the same family since time immemorial (hereditary is the hallmark of a monarchy in most cases, there is always an exception when there is no direct descendant)?

Everything for life na hype. It's because we hype him that's why he is seen in that way. If we do not rubbish him, we won't allow others do also. Na how you take respect your papa, na so outsiders go take respect am.

What is these hullabaloo about inconsequential Emirates in Nigeria. Of what use are they? They have passed their sell-by date and are bound to the dustbin of history. Were they not the people at first who conspired with Lord Lugard to turn Nigeria to what it is today. Now they are crying blue murder over sweet nothing wasting tax payers money and resources of the people of Nigeria because they are in power. My main concern is the yoruba people and my advice to them is don't sleep stay awake and 'ma de lo go o'. It can be indeed disheartening that respected media personalities of Yoruba stock in the likes of Kolade Otitoju (whom I respect so much) are the ones who naively praise these nonetities and make their language look like it has done Nigeria any favours. These people has always been evil doers, up to no good and they will never be. A snake will always be poisonous no matter where it lives or what it does. These children of satan have progressively brought Nigeria to its kneels from 1914 to date. Yoruba people let me give you kudos for 'Amotekun' but please don't sleep on it. It is time to work even harder against these invasive forces and never, I repeat never work collaboratively with any Nigerian elements only cooperate with conviction facilitation only. No one must know the next move of Amotekun otherwise the stealth and strength of Amotekun (Leopard) will be lost and officers must be well tested and fully committed and importantly of Yoruba stock otherwise as aluded above there may be no Amotekun. Amotekun must not be restricted to a function it must evolve into a full hitec military (Army, Navy, and Airforce) no nonsense outfit to checkmate these invaders in the name of Nigeria. There is a lesson or two we can learn from the Israelis. Yorubas must unite as unity will produce fruit as we see in the case of Amotekun. Yorubas must begin to think out of the box. The status quo must not be allowed to perpetrate itself as any delay could spell disaster. Yorubas must also start looking inwards for legitimate money making ventures such as Yoruba owned mining companies buying dangote refineries and petrochemicals into yorubas hand, agricultural production like never before....... to increase yoruba sovereign wealth to prosecute any development and security needs of it's people. Please stop worrying yourselves about Hausas and their problem they have not seen anything yet. The monster they groomed is coming back to devour them why should we be affected or involved. Please our Obas and leaders must respect themselves and stay away from money politics and corruption but we must put more effort to ensure the Royal Highness-es in Ooni of Ife, Alaafin of Oyo, Akarigbo of Ijebu land....etc are given their rightful position and respect and we should not allow these northerners shortchange them with their diminutive evil doing Emirs and Islamizers.

Answer

Ooni of ife and his relative oba of Benin kings of Yoruba , these people control the entire Yoruba kingdom and are worshiped as gods

The kano emirate and sultan of sokoto controlled the entire north with a lot of power , you will never find such in Igbo kingdom


What we have in Igbo kingdom are not kings , they are just meant to be community chiefs, clan leaders family leaders , with titled names

Your list is not complete. The former Olugbo of Ugbo land Mafimisebi was deposed too in 2007.

Go and try it and wait to see if Benin wil contain you or that person...
The British only succeeded in war of military superiority that was never contested...
The last military guvnor who tried to undermined Oba of Benin was Onyearegbulem and he suffered the consequences of his arrogance....

I remember him, he was later deployed to Ondo State and had strange health challenges and died.
