"Throughout Yoruba history, tensions have existed between the Alafin and the Oni

"Throughout Yoruba history, tensions have existed between the Alafin and the Oni, two esteemed monarchs.

Despite these historical disagreements, it is imperative to acknowledge the Oni's significance as the first and most indigenous king in the Yoruba lineage. This recognition underscores the importance of fostering unity and cooperation between the two monarchs, rather than perpetuating animosity. By embracing their shared heritage, the Alafin and the Oni can work together to promote the rich cultural traditions and values of the Yoruba people."
