| Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi |
 |
| Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom, Oba Fredrick Obateru Akinrutan |
 |
| Royal father with panache |
 |
| Royalty in full package |
Both are very well respected royal fathers and both also extraordinarily colourful and imposing. Their stools are held sacred, though one far more than the other in terms of hierarchy based on the history, culture and the tradition of the Yotubas.
Both are very okay in terms of wealth, but one far far more than the other, in fact the unsubstantiated belief is that the Olugbo is the richest and wealthiest Nigerian king. He owns and is the chairman of a oil and gas brand, named after himself. The Ooni by contrast used to be mainly a developer, and he is one of the investors that built Inagbe Resort, one of West Africa's most beautiful resorts.
While age is far more on the side of the Ooni, who is just 42. The Olugbo on the other side is his 60s and not getting any younger, thank God for money he would have aged far more obviously.
