How Ooni Of Ife’s Death Should Be Announced by Shegman22(m): 9:41am On Jul 30, 2015 |
"...Whenever any Owooni (Ooni) Adimula joins his ancestors,
the news is not broken without following the due process of
culture. Ooni is the property of Yoruba race. He is the
custodian of the household of Oduduwa, its shrine and the
protector of its legacies. Therefore, it is absolutely a taboo
for any prince, royal family and palace chiefs to break the
news without clearance or approval from the appropriate
traditional quarters.
"The announcement of the Ooni’s death is a traditional role
conferred on his brother, the Oore of Otun and Mobaland, a
son of Oduduwa and one of the 16 foremost monarchs in
Yorubaland. The reigning Oore is Oba Adedapo Popoola, an
economist and chartered accountant.
"After ascertaining that the Ooni has waja (died), the palace
chiefs are expected to inform the Oore. The Oore will mourn
his passage in a traditional way. He will not waste time in
breaking the news to other Oduduwa children, especially the
Alaafin, the descendant of Oranmiyan Akinorun, the Ewi of
Ado-Ekiti, the Oba of Benin, the Onipopo of Popo, the
Onisabe of Sabe, and the Owa Obokun Adimula. The Oore
will also carry along the Ajero Asotemaru, the Alara and the
Obalufon Alayemore. |
