Then we have rites in connection with the enthronement or coronation of a king.
Here'the coronation of the Alaiin of Oyo would be discussed. Rituals in connection
with the coronation include the following

i) partaking of the dish prepared from the heart of the late king which has been
extracted and preserved. After partaking of this, he is told he has "eaten .the
king". Hence the origin of the phrase je oba, to become a king (lit to eat a
king)

ii) 'At a place called 'Bara', he worships at the tombs of his fathers; a horse, a
cow and a ram are being offered at each tomb.

iil) On the fifth day, he goes to Koso, the shrine of Sango, the third Alaafin of
Oyo and the god of thunder and lightning, for actual crowning.

iv) After another interval of five days,he goes to the shrine of Oranyan. Here
the Great Sword (Yoruba: Ida Nltl) or Sword of Justice (Yoruba: Ida Idaj6
Ododo) brought from TIe-Ife is pla:ced in his hands....
