I think it is the oba of Benin followed by the obong of calabar and the olu of warri

Obi onitsha

Why lumping South South and South East together?

Hian

I think the olu of warri comes before the obi.he has more sphere of influence

Oba of Benin for south south whereas Obi of onitsha for South East.

Dansuqi:

You should know onitsha is an old throne too.
Unlike Olu of warri

Sammy07:

The obi controls two lgas,the olu three.the olu is the biggest ruler in delta,the obi of Onitsha is rivalled by the igwe of nnewi nwafor orizu and the ezeuzu of awka Gibson nwosu

The contest is between oba and the obi..


As we all no oba title begat obi and olu

The traditional stools closest to Yorubas naturally are the most powerful

Oba of Benin
Olu of Warri
Obi of Onitsha

In that order

Dansuqi:


The obi controls two lgas,the olu three.the olu is the biggest ruler in delta,the obi of Onitsha is rivalled by the igwe of nnewi nwafor orizu and the ezeuzu of awka Gibson nwosu

The no of LGA does not matter.
Check alaafin of oyo lgas too.

I think what matter most is how old is the throne

Sammy07:


You should know onitsha is an old throne too.
Unlike Olu of warri

Am looking at wide acceptability and sphere not years of existence

Obong of Calabar throne is the oldest followed by Oba of Benin and Obi of Onitsha.
Obong of Calabar is the most revered even by the British , then Oba of Benin and Obi of Onitsha. who knows Olu of Warri? anyway most people in their domain know them. people in Calabar area know Obong of Calabar, people in Onitsha area know Obi of Onitsha,people in Benin area know Oba of Benin .

helinues:

Igbo e nwe eze. Onye ọ bụla bu eze na be nke ya

Sammy07:
Oba of Benin

Obi of Onisha

Olu of warri

Then followed by the one at Calabar

Jaja of Opobo

Oba of Benin is living in past glory.

who knows olu of warri




Obi of Onitsha stands tall among them.



Oba is a yoruba word.



In summary
warri knowss about olu...nobody knows such
Benin knows about their oba
Calabar knows about their obong
Onitsha knows about their obi
Opobo knows about their jaja
each power starts and ends in their territory.
