This people should respect the ife people and the traditional council. The traditional council has issued a statement that they would officially announce the demise of the king, yet they are still pursuing them every corner.na wao 1 Like |

babyfaceafrica: I can tell you on personal account , that the ooni is dead , my family members knew as far back as Tuesday when he died “Members of his family who were with him in London had to hurry back home to remove their personal effects because once his death is declared all their property will belong to the people. They won’t be able to take anything from the palace anymore,” This explanation is exactly why the news was denied, the great elephant has fallen as is said in ile ife. His son is also due to have his wedding on Saturday in Lagos and that would go on , the tradition was flouted when sahara broke the news online, the passing on of the ooni to join his ancestors is normally done differently. When. Adesiji Aderemi died of cadiac arrest in July 3 1980 ,the news was not declared to the public for almost 7 days, his corpes was taken to Ibadan morgue while all the family effects were removed to otobatele and then the chiefs commenced the rites of passage, remember that the ooni is a very powerful king and the rituals performed in these occasions are important. Wonna know how I know this personally ? 1 Like |

saxywale: An extremely very powerful crown, any lay person is best to avoid the king in private during such a day ,his powers are potent and even he has to be careful certain actions can cost his life. The ooni is obliged to wear that crown once a year, even if he is ill and can barely walk 1 Like |

samueld0: I think from personal knowledge only the heart and maybe parts of the skull are required , the body would be buried rather quickly, the new ooni is not permitted to see his predecessor. The new ooni must eat the heart of his predecessor |

lucianohase: Those people saw the body before the ooro rights have been started, once his body is taken to illegbo and the rites begin his body is sight is very dangerous to the lay person's sight. People have been known to run mad or die of head ache , ever heard of the tale of bobo Doherty ,sijuwades pal who died immediately on his coronation after being the first to see him |

rottenegg: Once the king is declared dead everything in the palace belongs to the people, every door in the palace would be left open and the public can walk in freely pending when a new king ascends the throne. The family need time to remove their effects In 1980 when Aderemi died it was same , people were hearing the rumor but it was not confirmed until 7 days after when all the family property had been removed and the chiefs and priests were ready to commence burial rites |

destinysaid: Some of the traditions in those places have lost their occult practices where we still continue them. The emperors in Japan and China once had very specific rites and traditions which if flouted could lead to death but as you can see they have abandoned them due to western invasion. Technology did not kill the Japanese culture, the modernist western culture-less lifestyle did. 1 Like |

sweetgala:I guess you know what you are bargaining for contesting such crown, but the idea of eating fellow human doesn't make you a demi god I presumed, the culture of sacrificing 7 heads with a dead human being is something we need to challenge not just accept anymore. Maybe if the 7 heads are members of his families the act will Change. We should not just accept it that it's tradition, its gotten us as pple not that far though. |

oderemo: The ife don't make human sacrifice for the death or coronation of a king, that is fact however it has been known that certain people may die of very odd circumstances around the time an oba ascends the throne or during this reign. They are often his friends , family or people known to him There is a certain chieftaincy only awarded to princesses from Ife and the occupiers of that office in the last several occasions have been known to experience great misfortune. I don't know if a princess is allowed to refuse the office if it is awarded to her because I don't know why anyone would take such a title |

Jaymaxxy: Wow, guy u try o, thumbs up! Truly ife ooye Ooni brother Prince Kayode Sijuwade (KS) is still alive tho, that throne is something else I believe there's a way of seperating culture from idol worshipping, but why are we quick to accept whatever westerners throw at us but despised our cullture? God help us all. |

Franchise21:If this is true those three Ife High Chiefs who said in an interview that He is not dead need to publicly apologize to my kids and all other kids in Nigeria that they are bad examples of traitional leaders. Yoruba culture does not condone LYING publicly under any guise. I listened to the interview and I was not only disappointed but ashamed because my kids also listened to it and would not know how to explaine things to them that those highly revered elders were lying in the name of culture 1 Like |

The chiefs are not liars. They have ironically said Ooni is dead by declaring Oro ritual or whatever they call it. They said Ooni is dead in UK but yet to die in 9ja. I can laff.... |
