It is turn by turn. Ibadan does not have ruling house. Every Ibadan indigene can become an Olubadan if he so wishes. However, there are two queues that lead to the throne of Olubadan. He must join one based on some historical background of his family that selected him as Mogaji. Mogaji is the entry point to the queues of Olubadan kingship..The possible next Olubadan already knows himself. If the present one dies before him then he automatically become the Olubadan. No oracle consult or argument. That is why we say it is God Almighty that enthrones an Olubadan since life of everyone is in God's hands.
I mean no disrespect, but why is it that only very old men are chosen as Olubadan of Ibadan?
There is a line to the throne, the next 50 olubadan knows themselves, once one dies, there is no fight, the next one just get coronted
Why is Oluwo missing out here.
