The Alaafin's greeting of the Olubadan sparked a protocol dispute, reigniting Yoruba royal tensions over hierarchy and authority.
Tensions between Yoruba traditional rulers escalated after the Alaafin of Oyo reportedly extended his hand to greet the Olubadan of Ibadan during a visit to Agodi Government House, an act Ibadan’s monarchs deemed a serious breach of protocol and disrespect to the Olubadan’s throne.
Ibadan leaders warned the Alaafin that any further perceived affronts would lead to serious consequences, reigniting long-standing disputes over hierarchy and precedence within Yoruba royalty.
The incident, amplified by social media, reflects deeper tensions rooted in colonial-era disruptions and ongoing debates over spiritual and imperial authority, with cultural leaders urging restraint to preserve Yoruba unity.
