This was one of the reasons why the ooni's death was yet to be announced. Your emotions at the demise of a king and marriage of his prince can't be simultaneously done at the same time. The event was planned to hold but death is a spoiler of things, it came calling unannounced and when it's never welcome. What they have done is like saying which I believe also "death where is thy sting, grave where is thy victory?"

RIP OBA OF ILE-IFE..

There is nothing in Yorubaland or culture known as OBA OF ILE IFE.

ILE IFE has no OBA.

I have attended scores of weddings where the Oba of the town is invited to the wedding and sends his staff...not a strange thing. Guess it makes sense to use the same as his representation in this case as well...

Toscoas2:

Your source of info to dat?

Lol....Source of info. You are on a long thing. The King and his first Son don't see each other in public....Go and ask the Elders

Traditional ceremony at event house? Well, they can even go to Dubai to do it.

Baba lo da'jo inawo , unfortunately he died before D-day, R.I.P to Oba Siju'ade,. Happy married life to Siju'ade Junior

Africans refusing to give up barbaric cultures and traditions since time inmemorial... placing so much importance to so much shit and paying little attention to the betterment of the human race...

Sorry o, but how is it barbaric?, because am so sure if it were something that involved the Queen of England it won't be barbaric, am sure if it were one of the white princes it won't be barbaric, try and be proud of your culture, heritage and home, because when you don't no one will.

N.B. It's not only in Africa that they practice vodoo or anything bizarre, if people can go in search of powers and join cult to become vampires, celebrities, e.t.c over there in the western world, then i see no reason Africans shouldn't practice their own traditions.

It's not a shame to die.
so RIP Ooni!

Even if he were to be allive, he wouldnt have attended, OBA's don't beg for wives traditionally, His high chiefs and staff will represent him.

Traditionally, the mere fact that the Chiefs allowed the staff to be taken out of the palace means they have not recognized the king's demise.

Once the passage is publicly announced, even the personal property of the king and his siblings in the palace cannot be taken out again. They are deemed forfeited to the community. The first tell-tale sign of a king's death is the moving out of royal family's personal items from the palace before the announcement.

Noted.

Nice one!

laudate:


Erm....from what I heard of Yoruba culture and most indigenous cultures in Africa, there is nothing like ex-prince, oh!
Once a prince, always a prince. "Prince" means you are the son of a king, or that your father once ruled a town, village or city. Even if that father is long dead!

I have seen the staff of office at burials of royal princes and princess who died at an old age but hailed from a royal household, even though their parents were long dead.

Ok then
Thanx for the update

tpiander:

Hahahaha.

Nice... It's high time people start knowing that life has a limit...

No matter how Wealthy/poor, tall/short, Full/hungry.. It won't ever change the fact that death is always at the corner..


So why held on to vain elements?

This life should NOT be seen as a Prison yard, but as a Playful ground...


A powerful man in Yorubaland dies, yet a new family is getting together for formation....


Such a little life...

truth is indeed bitter to some. Life is transient.

Time will tell whether he's Dead or alive at least before the end of this August the cat will be let out of the bag

So this man is truly dead

Omni is dead.....wait for the official pronouncements

tosinbabe:
Ooni don already claim 'staff' inside 1 way bus to yonderland, una still dey here dey para! Smh!
