He is the OLU OF ITSEKIRIS who occupy the main Warri as it was known then occupied mainly by the Itsekiri folks... I agree with your opinion That's Why there is a slash there.... and Thanks for the full name... It hurts that Ovie of Uvwie can't make such list... King dey fall ma hand..

The Greatest Kingdom In Urhobo Land Is The Agbon Kingdom., Well Ovie of uvwie is Influential too, #Uvwie the heart Of URHOBO, And the richest Kingdom in Urhobo.

Already taking the glory of warri, But so annoying Tagging Uvwie land as Warri, Some people mistake Warri with EFFURUN.

Mind you am half urhobo.

5. DEIN OF AGBOR
Agbor also known as Ominije as it was founded by Omini
from Aguleri and it is an Igbo town in Delta state. Agbor was
once affiliated with the Benin Empire before Benin was
conquered by the British. Sitting on the throne is Benjamin
Ikenchuku Keagborekuzi who goes by the title of “Dein of
Agbor” which is the name of his ruling house (the traditional
ruler is usually referred to as Eze or Obi). He was crowned
king just two years and four months after his birth following
the death of his father making him the youngest monarch
ever to ascend a royal throne according to the Guiness Book
of Records in 1981. Following his coronation, he left the
shores of Nigeria to pursue his academics and returned to
Agbor in 2001. He was appointed the fourth Chancellor of
the University of Ilorin by former president Olusegun
Obasanjo in 2006 making him the youngest vice chancellor
of a federal university. He is Officer in the Order of the
Crown, Belgium and also the Vice-Chairman, Delta State
Traditional Rulers Council.

Why I will not context the source of your research, please respect what has been and don't try to change history. The itsekiri as a tribe is from a kingdom with their king addressed as Olu of Warri. Please try to be intellectually descent and stop falsehood that provokes sentiment of hatred. Wherever is your source of fact will have the correct title and write as such instead making your own amend to show your hatred. All the titles of kings you mentioned is never named after their tribes but their kingdoms.

Although practising a presidential system of government,
the important roles played by the monarchs to the
development of their societies and Nigeria as a whole
cannot be overlooked. In this list we take a look at 10 most

10. THE OLUBADAN OF IBADAN. The title Olubadan means “Lord of Ibadan” and it is the royal title of the king of Ibadan land. It usually takes decades to groom an Olubadan for the mantle through stages of chieftaincy promotion, thus meaning that just about any male born title-holder of the metropolitan center is a potential king. Olubadans are usually appointed from the two ruling lines to the throne, Egbe Agba (civil) and Balogun (military) on rotational basis following the death of a monarch. The 11 high chiefs that formed the Olubadan-in- council, apart from the Seriki and Iyalode, are recognised as the traditional head of each of the 11 LGs in Ibadanland. They are appointed as presidents of customary courts, who are expected to adjudicate on matrimonial, land, boundary and other communal disputes. Oba Samuel Odulana, Odugade is the current Olubadan and although the position like many other monarchical positions is now largely symbolic, the Olubadan remains a prominent figure and has influence on matters of local politics as well as question political leaders on issues such as violence, corruption and lack of true democracy in the region.

i don't understand something here.
what makes them strong? is it mere Title?
Kings of this days who cannot make simple decree and it happens?
There are series of incidencies that makes the ATTAH OF IGALA to be remenbered in the history of IGALA.
What makes a king strong is not just fame or riches or popularities but your ability to have and bear interest of your people at heart backed with your actions.
