Re: President Jonathan And Yoruba Oba's, Blessing Or Curse? (photo) by onegig(m): 12:20pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
There's a clear difference. More like a curse. That's a walking stick. Look at the picture below. That's what an Opa ase or an Oba's staff of office looks like. It's like a totem. If it's not present in a function then the Oba is not present. This is a new precedent honestly. Using the walking stick as a blessing is alien to yoruba culture. If an Oba wants to bless, it's either he uses the irukere which is the feathered handheld staff or stand the totem sbown in the picture and not walking stick we see here. Pointing a walking stick at someone is even regarded as disrespectful in yoruba culture not to talk of using it to bless someone. (A walking stick is a fad in Yoruba Culture. It is not part of the paraphernalia of an oba. I guess its use was copied from colonialists. I can't recall reading any yoruba mythology where the walking stick was ever mentioned.) 11 Likes

onlysuccess:You are a disgrace to the Yoruba race. So because of senseless allegiance to a political party built on smash and grab, distortion of facts and propaganda, you are stating that the Yorubas are insincere. You are calling or insinuating that your tribe is a nation of Judases! You and your ilk need deliverance badly! 4 Likes |

omaiyale: For me this is really disturbing and embarrassing. Jonathan is desecrating the office of the President. The scene looks occultist. A President is not only a political position but a spiritual one. That is the highest position in the land. It is higher than an Oba and even a clergy, if the occupant is a believer. He should be blessing people not him seeking for blessing all over the place. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yes! That is exactly what the are. Most Obas don't criticize the ruling Government openly, they just collect money and do whatever they like. Jonathan has lost his investments ($$$) on these guys, because they would do whatever they feel like, which might mean doing NOTHING for Jonathan's re-election campaign. Phrankin: 2 Likes |

Consolation is what op is doing... Jonathan did not go there without prior Intel and many prominent yoruba more knowledgeable went with him. The Oni ask the Obas to pray for his success and they obliged to |

bilms:Op, please go and research further. They can't use the horse tails on the head of the nation that is superior to them but their staff of office. The Obas use irukere (horse tail) to touch their subjects head. The president is not a common man. They dare not use it on him but their Opa Ase (the symbols of office) which is higher than the irukere. |

thunder74: What was pointed at GEJ is the walking stick (opa itile) and not opa ase (staff of office). And beside, no matter who you are, an oba can pray for you with the horse tail. Praying with a walking stick is alien to yoruba culture. Though, I don't know the implications of what they have done so I won't go all out to label it a curse. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Because of politics some youths are calling the royal fathers fraudsters. Hmmmmm, Please do not come to defend the sanctity of their offices in other threads. A real man should say what he means and stand by it. Could those that call the Yorubas saboteurs and pretenders be right ? |

This reverse psychology APC and her supporters are deploying is dead on arrival. We know that APC is mortally rankled by the unequivocal endorsement of Jonathan by the generality of Yoruba traditional institutions. APC have been shouting themselves hoarse in the media platforms under their control. They have been lambasting the Obas - calling them sellouts and other unprintable names. We are not buying this infantile and cheap propaganda which is trying to impute negativity to an unprecedented gesture. APC cry us River Sango! |
