If a man is dead and we deny he hasn't died, are we not deluding ourselves? Basically lying to ourselves. Maybe there are aspects of this tradition that needs modification. Culture itself should change to accomodate changes as time progresses. It needs not be static and delusory. Oni as far as the world is concerned is already dead. He died in an hospital in London!
There was no way some of his ancestor would have sought medical help abroad talkless of dying there. This is part of how civilisation has changed the way our kings live.

The Alara referred to in this article is it the Alara of Ara in Osun state?

NOPE .. THE ALARA OF ARAMOKO EKITI

He said you're brainwashed, and indeed you're. Who and who will be the judges at the judgement day? What are the legal criteria to scale through that judgement? What makes you certain that you will scale through, and the person that is worshipping the Gods of his ancestors will not? What day is that going to be? What is the judge still waiting for? In a matter of uncertainty, it is better to apply reason appropriately.

Your faith is nested in your faith. Thats like habouring the totality of everything. Ojo atisun l'ebo. 'The day one dies, reckoning' If so, who do we reckon to on the day we die according to Yoruba tradition?

Each country has its traditions and is free to continue if they wish too.

When Prince William's son, George, was born in 2013 - the customary formal bulletin announcing the royal birth was displayed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace even though obviously the news had broken on twitter and other social media.

I don't think his birth was disputed, only announced through a traditional means. What I disagree with Oni's case is that his death is being denied. Do you believe he is still alive?

No doubt about the rich culture of our Yoruba brothers. It is undisputed. I offer my greetings across the Niger from Land of the Rising Sun. . .

Ok. He should tell us if the Ooni is still alive or not.

Your ancestors deceived you but you believed the oyinbo bullcrap of a judgement day where billions of people will be tosed to everlasting burning in a lake of fire and another set will go to heaven and be doing baba ke pe. Which is more logical to you? You people better start using your senses.

Good response to that KING OF DULLARDS believe in their stupid 'holy' script book

EKITI001:

NOPE .. THE ALARA OF ARAMOKO EKITI

ok

Mtchew,the ancient gods that would tell a king to sacrifice virgins,women or travelers for the town to be at peace,the one that would tell people to sacrifice humanbeing for money or power,tell me,even your brains should tell you that this is just plain wickedness,the one God would never tell you all that

I think you are sick in the head. I live in the city where your so called holy script was jumbled together by self-serving white people whose evil knows no bound. Better wash off all those nonsense you read from that contradictory and so unholy yeye book. Enough said!

I love this post I have to saved it in my drive I love this race called The Yoruba a lot though I'm not from their I just love them for their pride in their culture, their ability to unite as one till date, their ability to always stand by what they believe in, their educational vibrancy it's awesome and above all they are the most accommodating of all race or tribe in Nigeria take it or leave it fact remains fact I don't care how anyone feels about that, I so respect them.

I just love people who trace their origin, show facts to proof it, wrote literature about their origin as a matter of fact I love this people that is it nothing can change that.

Anyway RIP the Ooni.

To be honest, I don't know whether he is alive or not. My post was referring to those saying tradition is irrelevant in announcing the death formally (if indeed he is dead).

iamrealdeji:
lmao,he becomes a god? So there is no judgement for him since he's now a god? Haba,no wonder why they turn to idol worshipers sacrificing anything thinking they'd become gods when they die. Some of our yoruba ancestors don deceive us chai. This traditional bs need to be abolished. In this 21st century,some people are still thinking they'd become gods?

You fool! everyone has a soul/spirit. After the Gods, come the Rulers on Earth (the King) -1st among equals whose duty iw to guide the ppl and serve them in the material realm. (in an ideal situation).


The Soul turns into spirit. the difference between these Obas spirits and the Gods (nature/spiritual forces) is evident. you wont see temples constructed to these Kings as youd see to the Orisha (Gods).


derz no such tin as judgement day. Only good Karma and bad Karma.

abeg mey una no kill ooni for us o

The king traveled to hospital abroad because he and people of his generation failed to build a sensible country here.

A failed generation of people.

It shows also that the king don't even have trust in his group of magicians and traditional rulers. Suddenly we have lost trust in our culture. It is a shame!!!!

Its true. I don't no y d ooni didn't take agbo. Since d king didn't trust d traditional medical institutions, its funny his chiefs are telling us they have 2 follow tradition b4 announcing his demise. Well, maybe they are trying 2 preserve whatever they can. Bros there's 2 much enjoyment in d palace 2day. It will b difficult 4 any oba 2 stick 2d old ways

The truth of the matter is that we have traditional heads who trade pleasure for culture and tradition. In those days there was enjoyment for kings as well and kings then upheld the culture and tradition above every other thing unlike today where Obas get involved in publicity like celebrity. Take a look at the Aalafin of Oyo for example. In a nutshell the obas who are custodians of our culture and tradition don't even believe in it anymore. That is why we see the subjects behaving contrary to the tradition ways of life.

Clap for yourself,I used to come across your moniker and used to think you just call yourself a pagan for fun,i never knew you're a true pagan. My question is that is it your gods that said you should be sacrificing virgins,killing innocent children and travelers to make your town peaceful,or sacrificing humans for money rituals? What type of gods would instruct his people to do such? And you said there is good and bad karma? That one is just lie,some people do somethings and get away with them in this world but won't escape them on the day of judgment. Judgment day is like you plucking mango,of course,when you bite and eat the mango,its dead,but you throw the seed on the ground and the seed continues its life and becomes a huge mango tree again. But it takes a very long time. Humans die and continues living in the afterlife again

huh
