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

They were instructed to do so to protect that palace from looting. At the time sahara decided to meddle in the traditional process of announcing the passage of the Ooni the property of the sojiwade family was still in the palace , and once the oba is declared dead all doors in the palace are left open for public access without restriction, and all property belongs to the people of the land.

In the modern times with corrupted minds looting and theft is bound to go on , so the family came back and are removing their property to a private residence. After the wedding of Adegbite today the death of the alayeluwa Erin lakatabu , Ooni omo olubuse would be announced through the right channel.

The "highly revered" juju priests in Ife could not treat their Oba, he had to go to the white man's land to seek treatment. Alas, he died there. Pity

oderemo:

I am perfectly with you coming from a royal lineage myself used to agree with tradition but overtime I have given it deep tot and wonder the reason we must continue on this path, if the owner of Facebook or Richard Brandon had sacrificed 8 heads to move man kind fwd I wldnt have minded but? Common some of our culture/ tradition is becoming ridiculous to say the least.

We will get there with time I believe.. Perhaps in the next century from now.

Abi oo with all their juju which is equal to evil to me... Juju does nothing but evil not a bit of goodness init. <

In Uk, Ooni is dead but in Nigeria, Ooni is still alive. Tradition has made us fools...

RIP Oba! Long live your manhood!

You must be a buffoon to spew this trash. In the first place this is not a political forum. Secondly Ile-Ife is PDP stronghold clearly due to Omisote factor. I don't blame you because culture, respect and traditional institutions are strange to you and your background. We Yorubas are a people of heritage and rich culture. A people without leaders cannot value leadership. Also be very careful what you smoke next time you want to perform on stage. You miserable imbeccile.

You are just a complete blind camel, wat does this have to do with Apc, is not your fault? I knw u pdp wailing waillers are still mourning your falling thieve heros. Just pray no pdp armed rubbers will kick the bucket sooner or latter, I will so insult !!!!! I wnt talk much, drunk confuse camel like u.

The singular act of deifying this mortal called Ooni is irritating and portray the backwardness of Ife people in the 21st century. No matter the disguise and ceremony, he will still be a food for the worms beneath the earth. Surely, power of eternity belongs to the “ALMIGHTY GOD”

sweetgala:


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

U v enlightened me the more...

@sweetgala, how do you know so much about the oba and ife royalty rites and tradition.

Tolexander:
But he is not dead now!

In this century, where information spreads rapidly like fart, issue like this can't be concealed.

The fact that he died in a UK hospital can't make the issue ti be kept secret.

if it was Iran or Afga's Hospital now the secret wouldn't be hard to be kept away for people but UK is like when someone keep something on sky.

Oderemo I'm not messing with him o, neither am I being sarcastic. I'm not very knowlgeable about youruba tradition because I've lived in lagos all my life. I like to find out more about these things when the opportunity presents itself.
Meanwhile, Sweetgala, why did Ladipo Bobo Doherty die after being the first to see the newly coronated king. I googled his name but I didn't see anything useful.

ladycomfort:

Special Anti Robbery Squad, they usually raid ikeja and Lagos in general

Oh finally he is dead now. RIP Oba Sijuade,now the quest for the stool rages on .

How many people will escort him to his home above?

I'm from the royal stock, and my parents and uncles grew up as princes in the palace. Stories abound

sweetgala:


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

Mummy murum moooooooo. will u like to be the ooni of ifeif yes. so u will eat the heart of ur predecessorWONDERS. I thank God am from Arochukwu

The story goes on coronation day of Okunade Sijuwade, Bobo Doherty who was one of his close friends was sent to go beckon on the king. As Sijuwade came out of his room with the Ilari and other priests as soon as Bobo set his eyes on him he collapsed and died. The event went on as thou nothing happened; many of the guests were not informed.

There have been different times that friends and chiefs of the king have died mysteriously in numbers after going to see him. Sijuwade was known to have dabbled in fetishism very much

Pls what is ilari

bodashee:


Pls what is ilari

Ilari are palace servants and task officers who look after the king and palace. They have a distinctive shaven head pattern

Some of them are old and very knowledgeable on culture and traditions

Realisticman:
I like tradition but there are some that modernisation has rendered useless. If the palace chiefs are the only ones permitted to announce his death, then they should have equipped the palace with the most sophisticated hospital on earth whereby the palace chiefs will be made to read medicine so that an Oyinbo doctor will not be the first to actually announce the death of the Ooni.

This is how it was in the past. .. "modernization" as they call it has only suceeded in destroying our virtues

JuanDeDios:

In 2015. When the civilised world sees us as retarded children we make noise. When Jesus Christ or Mohammed or Gandhi or Mandela died nobody was sacrificed. Yeye people.

And is there a government in that country? What are the SSS and the police doing to secure Ife and protect citizens? What is the president doing?

Are you sure you are OK? Where did you see human sacrifice?
Why do you people like to lie against african traditions?
