Under Irosun-Irete, Ifa mentioned that a stranger can be king by divine choosing sometimes. But then, only if chosen through Ifa divination.
In other cases, families of founder of towns are the ones to produce Ọmọ Oye.
Depending on how many people founded the town and how vast it becomes, rotational kingship is done or Ifa is used to choose who is to lead from that ancient lineage.
There are times that a warlord becomes an accidental part of the royal family if he conquered or come to the rescue of the town during the time of siege.
Oranmiyan for example because the king of the land of anger using his wisdom of political coordination and Human Resources Management even though he is originally from Ile-Ife.
From historical records, each first founders or aboriginals... Or the first settlers of each towns are mostly the royal families.
Èjìogbè, Eji Oko, Àtègbè, Ofuntena have similar narratives.
