The Alaafin's place in Yoruba History from my little eyes

Again, for record purposes, let me state here again that the 'ONLY' King that can install a chief on behalf of Yorubaland, I mean, the King that has the powers to install a chief for the entire Yorubaland, e.g Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland or Iyalode of Yoruba land is Alaafin of Oyo.

About 7 years ago when Chief Mrs Lawson, Iyalode of Egbaland was deposed by the king or suspended, the chiefs of Egbaland summoned themselves, went to Oyo to go and meet Alaafin to install Mrs Lawson as the "IYALODE OF YORUBALAND",since he is the only Yoruba King that has the powers to give such chieftaincy titles. Alaafin declined, of course he didn't want to create enmity between himself and Alake of Egbaland.

Also the issue of crowned Prince, Alaafin of Oyo's first son is the 'ONLY CROWNED PRINCE' we have in YORUBALAND. Yes I say it with so much authority and with all my mouth.
Up till today, Aremo of Oyo is on the list of traditional kings and chiefs in Oyo state. He is number 5 in rank I think, no other place even in modern history has a crowned prince and recognised by the law.
Please take notes of these things, do not turn culture upside down.
I have more of Oduduwa's blood running in me than people that claim him.

ps: from time to time, I would be bringing you accounts of yoruba history from the eagle's eyes, which is The Alaafin of Oyo's authentic recounts. This will be every fridays
