Human Sacrifice For Installation Of New Ooni Of Ife? What Head Of Deities Said by ahmedkoded95(m): 12:08pm On Oct 27, 2015
The Isoro cult and head of all deities in Ile-Ife, Oba
Olajide Ifaloba has revealed that there will be no human
sacrifice to herald the installation of the new Ooni Of
Ife.


Recall that Prince Adeyeye was announced the next
Ooni of Ife yesterday, October 26, by the the Osun state
governor. Ifaloba explained that Adeyeye’s emergence
as was “divine,” and other contestants must see him as
“product of grace.” Explaining that the installation rites
will be done at nights, Ifalode said:


“We rejoice with him and thank the creator for giving us
a monarch in his class. Those that vied for the throne
with him must now see Oba Enitan as father that must
be supported to lift Ife. We pray for him a long life and
good health to administer the town and the entire
Yoruba land. The new Ooni would have spent three
months in Ilofi before his installation, but he would be
spending 21 days instead, because of the forthcoming
Olojo Festival.”


The new Ooni’s father, Pa Ogunwusi also revealed that
the emergence of the new Ooni was foreseen, even
before his birth. He told Nigerian Tribune: ”We thank
God. It is the Lord’s doing. We are grateful to God. This
is because out of over 40 contestants, God has really
singled him out to do the job and carry the load of
Yorubaland. I pray to God in his infinite mercy to grant
him the grace and wisdom to do the job successfully
without any problem or blemish.


“Ife people would know peace and prosperity during his
reign by the grace of God. Before we gave birth to him,
a man of God came to our area in Ibadan. That time, he
told us prophetically that we would soon be blessed
with a child and that child is going to be a child of
glory. He is going to be great and that man of God told
us the exact time of his delivery. That was how it came
to pass. His emergence is the fulfillment of God’s
prophesy,”


The chairman of Ife central local government area of
Osun State, Dr Taiwo Olaiya, also revealed that the
kingmakers picked Adeyeye out of the 43 princes who
contested because of various things. He said that
although Adeyeye has traveled wide but he is still in
contact with his roots. He has also warm the hearts of
locals through his entrepreneurial skills.


“Ogunwusi’s understanding of the Yoruba culture,
despite being widely travelled and his generosity, even
when he had not shown interest in becoming Ooni also
worked in his favour. He also exhibited unmatched
humility and calmness that was hard to come by among
all the contestants. The fact that the business tycoon
made his money without being linked to any party or
government also counted in his favour.”
