She is not the king forever in yoruba her position is called "Adele" which means she is holding the house till the king is installed .. So don't start thinking first female king cause they've been many like her ...

Anonymous said...

The earlier the better they abolish this "Adele"title of a thing,how will she rule that kingdom when she's a 'foreigner'? Hw deep is her knowledge abt the cultures of the land? I wish her d best sha

Kayode Richard Kosemani said...

At every point in time a king is to set to attain a throne in most part on the Yoruba kingdom, he must produce one of his female child that will become a regent, when he dies for a period of time, before another king succeeds the late king. In the case where he does not have a female child which is very rare, he could choose any of his royal sibling's daughters. And for those commenting about what she will speak with the people of Akure, I can assure you that she will be able to speak the local language. These people are prepared for it and they learn their culture and tradition despite their foreign education.

Happy for you sweet

It's a temporal arrangement

She's just like an acting president. She's not a Queen she's just keeping the seat warm and things will run in the kingdom as usual. Wth is female king that some of you are saying???

Stalor Elvis, you are very funny. lol

DownUnder said...

To be honest, the Yorubas are the most gender- friendly people in Nigeria. There is little to no discrimination between male and female offspring. I wish other ethnic groups will follow suit.

tynelson said...

Linda, this's the best place once my fingers are idle and I can't stop laughing at the most unbelievable and hilarious comments emanating from guys with their unbelievable responses to the culture, value and the tradition of their father or motherland, which has exposed the lack of cultural education in schools. I just pitied our future generations, if some people could be hearing of Regent for the first time..Ofcuz, the source of foods like yams, and potatoes would be from trees if not bakery soon...lol

Why is it that most Blog visitors here lack courtesy?As in,i wonder if if some of u are or were prison inmates.Can't u comment without attacking or cussing someone?
LiB was nt this bad with all these venom babish comments and traffic congested adverts.I fore-saw this and emailed Linda chopping Ikeji in January.Nothing came out of it.
By d way,i tot things wl be better after ASUU calls of d strike but some funny names,attitudes and comments keeps pumping out on LiB alone.SHAIT!!!

Stop misleading people. she is a regent not a King! and there have been female regents in the past. too many dull nigerians

Jerry said...

For fellow Ibos who don't understand the cultural practice here just watch and learn. These traditional institutions have been preserved and were not corrupted by European influence. While theirs is a monarchy, ours was a sort of parliament, kingship in Igbo land as portrayed by nollywood is flawed. Europeans only introduced warrant chiefs because of the indirect rule system. Igbo enweghi Eze.
