why cant a young man become olubadan

rocoh:


Kingship in Ibadan is by Promotion and you might spend over thirty years on queue and well past you fifties before you even enter the queue .

bad tradition

rocoh:


what makes it bad? We will never fight over kingship. Anyone can be king in Ibadan we do not have Royal houses , what we have are your ancestral compound(Agbo ile). We do not fight over kingship and will never fight over it.

MrPolitics:


I don't think it's done that way. If it was, it'll be the recently deceased former #2's son that'll be king now but rather they gave it to the next in line.

I think Olubadans will continue to be old people for a loooooong time

NovusHomo:


Like an iiliterate nairalander ba?! You guys need to be Minister under Buhari before anything else.

By the way, one has to admire the ascension system of the Ibadands; no hassle, no struggle, no bribing...so much class!

He became a king at age 93, no wonder dey still live in de ancient days with dia brown rusty dirty roofs. Shey younger men of about 50-70yrs dan finish abi

I hope their gov will allow his coronation because there is already a disagreement between the late olubadan and the gov on promotion of chiefs in Ibadan land

Mikeparlo12:
ascending the throne in Ibadan land is the most controversial.... old people at all times. imagine...

Jeezuzpick:


Circumstances can make it happen. If not......well......protocol must be observed.

The next in line may die before his liege....and his son installed before the death of the Oba. That will see a younger man on the throne.

yemmight:
Ibadan people need to change the process of choosing their king. They only ruled by very old people who cannot drive modern development for their people. Oba that just died got there at 93 and the incoming king is over 80 already. The current Oni of Ife is 40 years old and already broken that jinx of Oni and Adeyemi not coming together for years. No wonder when Jonathan came to Oyo State he did not visit Olubadan.

jomoh:




Not easy for a young man to be the king because every male Ibadan indegene is a potential king. Unless they whole family decides to make the person the family head at a very young age(say before 20years) which is not possible.

It is a rotational thing that moves around all the families in Ibadan.

Generalkorex:

am frm Ibadan so I knw how the next king is being chosen. I only hate d procedure cos it had never produced a young king.
Lets wait n see d wen d likes of ladoja and teslim folarin will ascend the throne

Owoplenty:
Ti olubadan ba wo Nike, o mo mate ee

Pascal181:
Yoruba pipu sef,how will u crown someone king @90

ibadanfinest:


You must then support the procedure of having ruling families. like they have 3 in Ife. That's the only one that can produce a young king.

amdoyin82:
My ibadan pple are so greedy... Arrant nonsense! Can't dey emulate ife way of choosing their king.. The present ooni of ife has a father and the father preferred his son to be crowned as the next ooni probably because he believes d son is so young , vibrant, rich, experienced and will bring abt development to the community. Why must ibadan pple be an exception. The so called Adetunji has built his palace at popo yemoja way back 1991 cos he knew he will become king someday. Just because ibadan kings no dey last for throne. Why always ibadan?

jomoh:


Lol

What can we do. How would you prefer it be done?







Ibadan is a land of warlords. Our king is not one of the 7 direct descendants of Oduduwa yet he has the largest unchallenged territory in Yoruba land today.
