Alaafin Oyo Given Traditional ISESE Yoruba Burial, Not Islamic [Videos] by PAGAN9JA(m): 2:21pm On Apr 24, 2022
The Alaafin of Oyo Empire, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III's body was taken over by Sango believers of the Isese Faith after Islamic prayers were performed in the morning.

(As per inside sources, the body used in the Islamic prayers was an effigy. This is not confirmed.)

The "Body" of the Alaafin was then taken inside the palace by Traditionalist youth and covered with a traditional Green cloth to mask the white islamic wrappings. The Traditionalists then formed a circle around the body.

They later asked mourners and journalists, to leave the hall. As the remains were carried, the devotees chanted dirges and eulogies of Orisa Sango, whom an Alaafin embodies, according to Yoruba Religion.

Traditional prayers, rituals, and sacrifices were held at night by adherents of the Yoruba Traditional Religion (Isese).

The body was subsequently escorted by the Onisese to an undisclosed location for burial.

The Alaafin was a staunch adherent of the Lord Sango and attended the Sango festival year on year.

Kabiyesi has become Ebora now having joined the pantheon in the Spirit world.

May the Orisa (Gods) welcome Kabiyesi in their arms. Ase Eledumare!

“…Oyo omo Alaafin
Ojo pa sekere mode omo atiba
O b’olowo wipe k’o gb’owo
O si n ba iwofa wipe k’o ju eru sile
Ase k’o le baa di’ja
Ko le baa di aapon
K’omo oba le ri je nibe
Oyo l’o gbin agbado oran
S’ehinkule elehinkule
Elehinkule ko gbodo yaa je
Beeni ko si gbodo tu u danu
Omo iku ti’ku ko le pa
Omo arun t’arun ko le gbe de
Omo ofo, t’ofo ko le se….”

Oyo, descendant of the Alaafin
Rain must not beat the sekere
Child of Atiba
You urge the creditor to demand his pay
Yet you also urge the hireling debtor to repudiate his debt
So that conflict may ensue
For the benefit of the prince/princess
Oyo plants the ‘corn of trouble’
In another man’s backyard
That one must not harvest it
Neither must he weed it off
Child of death who cannot die
Child of pestilence who cannot be tied down by sickness
Child of calamity whom calamity cannot afflict….!

A lie is being propagated that the Alaafin was given an islamic burial. The burial was completely Traditional and done at nighttime.

All that the islamic clerics did was to pray over the body in the morning. They were not given custody of the body of the Alaafin by the Sango-Oranmiyan believers.
