Alaafin Overstepped His Boundary By Warning Fayemi – Peter Fatomilola

Peter Fatomilola, an actor and playwright, has said Lamidi Adeyemi III, the Alaafin of Oyo, has overstepped his boundary by meddling in the affairs of Ekiti State.


Alaafin had written to Fayemi after it emerged that the former had queried some monarchs in the state for refusing to attend a meeting of the Council of Traditional Rulers.

Fatomilola said the monarch does not have the power to tell Governor Kayode Fayemi what to do in his own state. Lamenting that the democratic style of government had ruined culture and tradition, Fatomilola said the Alaafin’s letter may cause another war between both kingdoms.


He said Oyo and Ekiti kingdoms had fought wars for a combined 16 years.

“It is not happening in Oyo. It is like the governor of Ekiti having contributions in the political sphere in Oyo State. He’ll get insulted, a dog can’t watch two houses at the same time.

“If it was the Ooni of Ife that did this, he is the king of kings, he is the only that wields such power.

“We still remember for how long the Oyos fought a war with Ekitis, it lasted 16 years. We fought ‘Ekiti parapo’ for six years while ‘kiriji’ lasted 10 years.

“Alaafin’s actions may start another war among kings in Ekiti,” he said.

He said the ‘Pelu Pelu’ kings had the right to resist the appointment a subordinate king as chairman of the Chairman of the Council of Obas and Chiefs in the state.

“If ‘pelu pelu’ in Ekiti think Fayemi is trying to impose the wrong person on them, they have a right to resist. The ‘pelu pelu’ know themselves, they attend meetings. They are the Alara, Ajero, Elekole, Ewilado and so on.

“Not every king is a ‘pelu pelu’. They know one another and they have a story. The democracy system of government has ruined our culture and tradition. Alaafin contributing to affairs of Ekiti is wrong.

“If the governor has done something wrong, there are kings in Ekiti who can call him to order. Ekiti has royal fathers too, they don’t need outsiders,” he said.

everything is turn politics.

Hope Alafin will write the same letter to Sulu Gambari in Ilorin to leave the throne Because that throne belong to Yoruba not fulanis.

Hypocritical is when Alafin allow ilorin to be rule by fulani ...without do anything.

So Alaafin Of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi (Iku baba yeye) has no real power.

Seems the word yorubas was just forced on many especially ekiti state.

Ilorin is a fulani land and blongs to fulanis.

The victors (fulanis) now gloat while the vanquished ( yarribas) feel humiliated.

@OP, how can a slave be directing the children on how to behave?
Only your parents or your eldest brother can tell you how to behave!

Alaafin tried his best to reclaim Ilorin, but posterity did not allow his efforts to bear fruit!
Could you please tell us a single effort made by U'oni (it is the slave) = Ooni, to reclaim Ilorin from the Fulani's?

Will you keep quiet... Because its not your damn business... And moreover a Yoruba man shall be crown the Oba of Ilorin.

Shut up isn't greedy and selfish interest of Alafin that led to fulani overtake Ilorin.

Was it Alaafin's greediness or was it his Ilorin General's greediness?
Please, can you avoid using phrases such as "shut up", " keep quiet", etc when you're discussing with people? It shows you are a bit uncultured!

Can you tell your parents that they are uncultured?
Back to your question when Afanja left oyo just to avoid Alafin problem. Why Alafin still waged war against Afonja. To the extent that Afanja accepted intruders in disguised to help him fight the war.

when you're on a faceless forum you assumed everybody is matured because you do not know how old anybody is!
Your first line of reply shows you're a very rude person, whether young or old does not matter here and therefore, you're not worthy of intellectual discussion.

I'm glad to see you're not letting your education get in the way of your ignorance.
