Names And Tittles Of The 10 Powerful Kings In Yoruba Land.
Do kings still exist in Nigeria?. Of course they
do. Yoruba people call them oba, which means
‘someone who presides over everything. Kings
are recognized as deities too just like the likes
of Sango( god of thunder).
In a place where absolute monarch is their
system of government, kings are the Supreme
rulers.
Kings are mostly male, only on exceptional
cases where a king dies and the next in line
has not been confirmed would you find a
female playing the role of a king. Although that
doesn’t make her a king, she is just watching
over the throne till the next king is being
confirmed. They call them Regents(Adele).
