Culture / Oluwo Of Iwo And The Trouncing Of Tradition - Osun.life by ssuccess(m): 3:34pm On Apr 08, 2018
Oluwo of Iwo and the Trouncing of Tradition By Shalom Ibironke

It is no news that in recent times the Oluwo of Iwo has publicly aired his admiration and preference for the Emir-title. Despite being a prominent Oba, not just in Yoruba land, but in the entire Nation, He seems to be interested in a more Arabian, or Islamic title. The history of the Emir-title can be traced down to the Arab World. It is even believed to be one of the names or titles of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.

As people of Iwo are largely believed to be descendants of Ile-Ife till they migrated sometime in the 14th century, the throne’s allegiance is supposedly faithful to the Ooni of Ife’s throne, or any other more superior throne in Yoruba land. For the Oba to openly trounce tradition and ask to be addressed as Emir, this could be the beginning of the end, end of tradition, or tenure. As both the tradition and the tenure of the monarch-in-charge must align for progress to set in. One must fall for the other.

Many reports have it that the Oba has adopted this title in furtherance of Islam in Iwo and all through Yoruba land, however, an even more superior Oba, HRH Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III is also committed to the consolidation of Islam in Nigeria, yet never has he taken such an action, or even openly prioritize a non-traditional religion over another. In the same vein, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi diligently remains within the cultural confines of Tradition despite being a Christian.

The first time a Yoruba city was ruled by an Emir it happened more like a regrettable error. When Aare Afonja, the then Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, invited strangers into his town, Ilorin, got killed by strangers, and they became rulers over his people till date. This act has left Ilorin, a Yoruba speaking town, under the authority the Fulanis, with an Emir whose allegiances are to the Sokoto Caliphate under the rulership of the Sultan. Despite efforts by neighbouring towns like Shao who have openly and officially thrown allegiance to the throne of Ife, Ilorin remains in the hands of the Emirates. Senior thrones like Ife and Oyo, or even the government should step in to checkmate the Oluwo of Iwo. It is also expected that Iwo learns from the experience of this neighbouring towns, before she herself becomes an experience from which others learn. For as much as this might be an innocent gesture, traditions are trounced in the tinkle of an eye, and new ones are born that quickly! Yoruba E Ronu!

Police cannot just get up and arrest someone for a crime as big as this if he's truly innocent. Don't forget that there are badoo members in police custody and they have rich sponsors. Those guys must have mentioned him and others as their sponsors. Kudos to the Nigerian police, this shows that if they really mean to work, they'll work. A snake cannot die except the head is cut off, if they keep lynching them, the attacks will not stop until the sponsors are arrested


My brother, there is nothing Nigeria Police cannot do. They can be HIGHLY corrupt!

Confused yoruba people are now believing wike who they hate.kanu will come to lagos to expose the cowardice of yoruba people just like dino melaye did.the only thing that loud-mouthed yoruba can do on that day is to hide in their house like tinubu,and to come out after kanu is done, to tell us how yoruba people are peaceful and accomodating.bloody cowards.

Look, stop provoking ethnic hatred.
If the Yorubas react to this, Igbos would regret it. Take Lagos for a example.

The problem is, Nigerian parents of today are pûssies. They're all forming the bullshit new generation parenting skills that believes beating a child is abuse and dialogue is the best way to correct an erring child. That's why there are so many wayward and incorrigible children around.
God knows I'm going to beat the the stupidity out of my children if they ever go astray. If I wasn't beaten as a child/teenager, only God knows what I'd have turned into.

Why?

Mr Kanu has every rights to campaign to his people in every state of Nigeria to support the cause of Biafran agitation so far it done peacefully and within the ambits if his last bail bond.

Why some people are vehemently against Igbos breaking away from the contraption called Nigeria I don't understand.

We can only plead with them to stay but if majority wants to go then conduct a referendum as it is done in organised societies.

Could it be why our parents marriages were successful then?

Look at marriages these days. So many court case between husband and wife. Divorce is on the increase. Young couples now see divorce as an option unlike in the past when the word divorce is a taboo

Why should divorce be taboo, if the marriage can't go forward together, it SHOULD SEPARATELY!

Let's change our views towards MARRIAGE.
It's not do or die!
If it's abusive, and you've TRIED to repair it, yet it still doesn't work, LEAVE!

Same goes for all politicians. They mess up our education system and take their children to a private school home or abroad.

If the SS people understand the need to free SS/SE together from Nigeria through Biafra, nothing is going to stop both groups to be freed from Nigeria shortly; after which it becomes as easy as ABC for Nigerdelta Republic or any other country in the SS to be.

NigerDelta will not follow Biafra.
