Oba (ruler)
''Oba'' ('King' in the Yoruba language) is a pre-nominal honorific for kings in Yorubaland. Traditional rulers with dynasties of Yoruba origin, across the modern republics of Benin, Nigeria, and Togo, frequently make use of it. Examples of Kings that do this include Oba Ogunwusi of Ile-Ife, Oba Aladelusi of Akure and Oba Akiolu of Lagos and Oba Ewuare II of Benin. Although the Benin Kingdom is not located within Yorubaland, its Oba ruling dynasty traces its origin to Ile-Ife, the spiritual and historical center of the Yoruba culture.

Nigerian Traditional Rulers
Nigerian traditional rulers often derive their titles from the rulers of independent states or communities that existed before the formation of modern Nigeria. Although they do not have formal political power, in many cases they continue to command respect from their people and have considerable influence in their community.

Pre-colonial period Modern Nigeria encompasses lands traditionally occupied by highly diverse ethnic groups with very different languages and traditions. In broad terms, the southeast was occupied mainly by Igbo, the Niger Delta by Edo and Igbo related people, the southwest by Yoruba and related people and the north by Hausa and Fulani ...
