Season film....what I don't understand is which oneisthe next king must come fromone particular ruling house?...what do they mean by that?... Last time I checked as long as you have royal blood you are entitled to the throne!!...all this policy of rotation is a no no for me angry!!!
Go to ur lineage and tell them that. It has been in history of ife that kingship is on rotation right from our fore fathers. Why can't u go and pick sijuade son and name him next Ooni. The next king is from Giesi and there re prominent people from the ruling house.

1. You are a learner
2. You are obviously too lazy to read, or do some research to educate yourself
3. We have seen enough threads on Nairaland alone this past 1 week to sufficiently inform and educate anyone who is willing to learn the modalities for choosing successive Oonis in Ife.

Then u must be a bastard if u don't know the tradition. Let me give u a clue, Okunade sijuade was not entitled to the throne when he was chosen. That is why his reign was marred by blood cos is like stealing from peter to pay paul. Ife must be peaceful again and that is why the round peg must be in round hole. So go and learn history

Guy pls stopping displaying your ignorance and stupidity on a public forum. I bet you are a teenager whose only hobby is Nollywood movies.
Obaship/Kingship in d southwest isn't a democratic thing, so d issue of best candidate doesn't hold here.
Every prince or princess from d ruling house whose turn it is is eligible to express interest to be d next Ooni of Ife. The Kingmakers then prunes down the list and present it to Ifa,..... Ifa is d final authority on who becomes d Ooni.
If d Ooni throne continues to exist for another 1000yrs,....so also shall d exact same procedure stepped in 100% traditional and occultict (?) stuffs remain for the selection of successive Oonis'.

Have you heared of Prince Sikiru Ayedun aka SK.Watch out for him.
He is a successful business man in Maritime sector and immediate past Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in the state of Osun.He is also from Geisi family.My investigation reveals that his Dad was supposed to be crowned King before the late Ooni Sijuade used his connection and Wealth to chance him.The Oracle might favour him.WATCHOUT FOR HIM

I think Ibadan is the best in this regard.I am sorry if there is any other city with a regulated means of selection.

I think that's because everybody knows there is a role for politics, and history can be modified to soothe evertyones selfish desires

No mind the prof jare, they are still waiting for letter when other houses are in the process of submitting names. I wonder when the act of letter sending started in ife. Prof never knew that Ogboru did not receive any letter before sijuwade was selected, ifa chose him among contenders from the ruling houses.
Oracle doesn't recognize rotation and would gladly skip your house if it doesn't find a worthy successor.
Ifa chooses the royal house and not the royal house choosing for ifa as this prof wants to make us to believe.

You don't choose for the gods.
Ife throne is not a grade b or c throne where they choose based on rotation without the involvement of the oracel.

whichever way, they can go to court if the Ooni elect does not come from giesi. He also deliberately left out the fact that giesi had produced the 2nd highest number of ooni's in the history of ife.
I hope the contest doesn't turn bloody though.
