Oba Owoade’s recent visit to the Oluwo of Iwo sparked a widespread speculation on social media, with many interpreting the act as a snub to the Ooni of Ife.


The rumours gained traction after the Oluwo openly declared that the Alaafin holds superiority over all traditional rulers in Yorubaland, a statement that further fuelled talk of tension between the two prominent monarchs.

However, in a viral video making the rounds in the media, the Alaafin addressed the controversy, stating that there was no conflict between him and the Ooni. He explained that a visit to the Ooni was initially part of his planned itinerary but had to be rescheduled.


Oba Owoade encouraged the public to disregard the speculations, describing them as baseless and fuelled by mischief makers.
