There is an ongoing debate online after Oba Taofeek Oyeyinka Ayinde Fatusi Obawole, the Onifako of Ifako kingdom in Lagos State - installed a young man as an Oba during his recent visit in Dallas, Texas in the United States. According to an outraged Facebook user Tunde Alabi-hundeyin Dudu, the installation of the new Oba is a "tragic bastardization of Yoruba ancient culture and tradition" which poses a danger to the Yourba civilization.

According to Tunde, an Oba is a highly spiritual being chosen by an intricate process laid down over centuries and undergoes very rigorous ancient rituals before installation....

Online users have bared their mind on the issue.

I think he was installed as a chieftain and not a monarch. Still, it makes absolutely no sense for a king to leave his palace and travel all that journey to go and install a chief. No sense at all.

If looked deeply it will be seen that money is the bedrock of the installation. Those elders respect money more than tradition.

What's a king without subjects.

Both the installed and the installee re . Meanwhile d dude looks like someone who's into drug biz

This one no concern me

Let me go to another thread biko.

The truth is, all of this stuff lost meaning when the British conquered Nigerian territories. These traditions are just for traditions sake.

Even if you have to give him a chieftaincy title, he has to come home and do the proper but this Oba has some skeletons in his cupboard (I assumed) to have travel all the way to install a man as a chief in another man's land...

if you want to test a man's character, give him power. 

Yoruba legacy stands do the right thing!

Things don dey change now....... Oba for that matter. O ga oooo

i dont know the contribution of all this oba to the society,I think they should scrap the nonsense instead of wasting money anyhow

I don't see any young man here.

This is a disrespect to the Yoruba tradition, culture and beliefs

Mtcheeeeew!


Hushpuppi is best fit for such a crown of an Oba than that unknown yahoo yahoo boy with no subjects.
