Of course, he is on the list. Every Yoruba king is known as oba of their particular town but at point of ascendancy to the throne to first person to be crown always take a title which every subsequent kings after him will bear.

In our case, the real title of king of Lagos is Eleko of Eko, which actually presents the domain under him. He is not the king of the entire Lagos but Eko ie Lagos Island and all the environs (all lands belonging to the Eko Lagosians or under their suzerainty).

So the name Oba of Lagos is a modern day invention. Every Islander knows that the title of our king is Eleko derived from Olu Eko. Alaafin, Awujale, Elepe, Owa etc are titles of the respective kings but their are all Obas. Even oba of Benin is known as Onibini of Bini or Ibiniland in the yoruba list of its first class grade 1 obas which is about 7, most of the other obas are offshoot of these 7 or were once under their dominions. And thats why their offspring kings are always the head of the council of obas in their domains.

So when you hear about the superiority of one king over another it is referring to this lineage thing. Just as the Alaafin has always been in total control in the past and the Oonis have always been under his control. The Alaafin appointed Aare ona kakanfo for the entire yoruba race and declare wars not the ooni.

You people really need to stop this nonsense. Stop spreading what you don’t know or understand. The Alaafin never ruled over all of Yoruba land as a single entity at any particular point in time in our history. Alaafin/Oloyo of Oyo was never Alaafin of Yoruba land. The Oyo throne never ruled over Ife and lots of Yoruba towns including the present day Ekiti State. The Ife throne remains the most superior throne in south west and the source of all royalty in Yoruba land including your Alaafin crown. Oyo was founded over 1000 years after the existence of Ile Ife by Oranmiyan. Oranmiyan himself abandoned the Oyo throne to forcefully take over as Ooni of Ife from Obalufon Alayemore. Stop this false history please.

Please tell them; they are taking the revision too far. The Oyo Empire gained its fame because of its military accomplishment. At the point it was prospering, there were other Yoruba domains that were totally independent of it - and probably even older than it. Ile-ife predates any known Yoruba area of civilization, as can be gleaned from its art work and all of that. So the assertion that it is the nucleus of the Yoruba nation is scientifically explainable.

It is an aberration to submit that Oyo is a peer with Ile-Ife - how much more to try to exalt it above the head (Ile-Ife). Oyo sprang out of Ile-Ife, just like every Yoruba domain.

The Ooni (Oonirisa), according to Yoruba mythology, is not even a mortal to begin with; the Ooni is a deity. So he his not in the league of mortals which the Kabiyesi Alaafin Oyo belongs to.

These Oyo folks should go and take a seat. Kano might be the most prosperous of the Emirates (many times bigger than Sokoto), but it is still subservient to the Sultanate in Sokoto.

Oba of Lagos, his kingdom covers which part of Lagos?

Stop calling him oba of lagos. Lagos has more than 20 Kings. He only rules over eko idumota.

1 Olofa of offa
2 Olofa at the parliament
3 Olofa at the parliament
4 Olofa and King Gucci

Atigba:


Yes.. but Oranmiyan is the most powerful child of oduduwa, he was a warrior. Oduduwa gave him mettle of leadership, the reason his descendants are the most powerful Obas in Nigeria.

Oba of Benin a direct descendant
Alafin a direct descendant
Oba of Lagos a direct descendant

Don't forget prior before independent Alafin was the most powerful traditional ruler in Youruba land.

Why do you people say oba of lagos? Who crowned who 'oba of lagos'?

Olu of Warri

How come your king and the princes and d princess have Yoruba names? And some yoruba obas in Badagry division were placed under him?

If he is not one of us then those baales and obas in his division should have a yoruba leading them

its ogu not egun. The prices and princesses all have ogu names. Its the demarcation of borders made some of us in Nigeria but our roots are in Rep of Benin. just like it also effected some of Yoruba's that were in rep of Benin. Ogu has its roots in Aja Thado close to Togo.

You guys need to stop rehashing this false Oyocentric history that was told by Rev. Samuel Johnson. Ooni of Ife is no royal servant. The Ife throne is the number one royal throne in Yoruba land. Even Oranmiyan who founded Oyo later abandoned the Alaafin throne to forcefully take over the bigger and more important Oduduwa throne at Ile Ife.

Below is the list of Ooni of Ife from the time of Oduduwa till date. Tell me which of the former Ooni was a slave to anybody.

You are still getting it wrong,

In your narrative, You referred to Oduduwa as an Ooni which is an error.
You said Osagangan is the 2nd Ooni.
You said no Ooni has ever been anyone's slave.

I ask you, is Osagangan Oduduwa's son or descendant?
If not, whom does he derive his royal blood.

Current ALAAFIN corrected late Sijuade 6 years Ago when Sijuade referred to Oranmiyan as his father. He noted with historical fact that Sijuade could not controversy. Ooni's forefather is the Oonirisa, the chief priest of Oduduwa.Though Oranmiyan went to
rule Benin and Ife, hi's lineage remained and ruled Oyo.

OONI of ife is no descendant of Oduduwa who is the only royal blood line known to Yoruba history.

Nice to meet you too,

[quote author=Google7 post=78408695]

Your submission is really laughable. You refuse to dispute the fact that Oranmiyan left Oyo to take over the Ooni of Ife throne from Obalufon Alayemore but you are arguing that subsequent Oonis are not descendants of Oranmiyan. So, what happened to the children/descendants of Oranmiyan? Are you saying they were all denied the opportunity of ascending the Ife throne till date? Whst happened to his children/descendants after his death?

[quote author=seunmsg post=78411158][/quote]

Whilst it could be confusing as to who downline descendants are,
Whilst ALAAFIN is also capable of lying when he frankly told Sijuade that he is not a descemeant of Oranmiyan,

I ask you to help yourself- Who is Osagangan that reigned in Ife after Oduduwa.

I am sure you are not confused about that.

Osagangan has no blood relationship with Oduduwa, neither do his descendants as OONI.

Osangangan Obamakin was never a slave to Oduduwa. You also need to understand that Ile Ife was already in existence before Oduduwa got to the city. He met Ife aborigines in the city and these people have existing leadership. Oduduwa battled the aboriginal leadership of Ife and established the Ooni dynasty afterwards.

After his death, there was no direct Oduduwa son to inherit the throne due to the fact that all of them have left Ife to found new cities. Consequently, Osangangan Obamakin, the leader of the aborigines was enthroned as the Ooni of Ife. He was succeeded by his son Ogun who was also succeeded by his son Obalufon Ogbogbodirin. Obalufon Alayemore succeeded Ogbogbodirin and it was during his time that Oranmiyan returned to Ife and forcefully hijacked the throne from Osangangan’s lineage. Obalufon Alayemore and his supporters were chased out of Ife and they settled in present day Efon-Alaye in Ekiti State. Oranmiyan consequently reinstated the direct Oduduwa lineage back to Ife throne and they remain the successors to Ife throne till today.

Ogun wasn't related to osangangan Obamakin but odudua/Oshin descendant though, your postulation on Oranmian as he reinstated the throne back Odudua-duad-duadu-daodu lineage is quite true. This was with an account that a bloody civil war engulfed ileife.
