The Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo are not just monarchs — they are living symbols of Yoruba culture, power, and identity.
For centuries, their thrones have stood as pillars of history: one representing the spiritual cradle of the Yoruba people, the other commanding political strength and influence far beyond Yorubaland.
But recent reports of a clash between these two revered stools have unsettled many.
It’s more than a palace quarrel — it raises questions about tradition, authority, and the delicate balance of unity among the Yoruba.
So, what really happened?
What does this mean for the two kingdoms, the South-West, and even Nigeria at large?
This is what we set to find out in today’s episode of Nigeria Daily.
