7 female traditional monarchs in Nigeria

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about 7 female traditional monarchs that exist in Nigeria.

One is Taiwo Oyebola Agbona. Regent Taiwo Oyebola Agbona was crowned in 2017 to temporarily take the throne of her ancestors until the kingmakers choose a male king through the guidance of their ancestors.

Legit.ng gathered that the regent was chosen due to the fact that she is the first girl child. She was crowned to take the throne after the Alaaye of Aaye Oba Agbona Orimori 11, passed and joined his ancestors on May 4, 2017.

She is a graduate of Achievers University in Owo where she studied medical laboratory science.
