sainty2k3:

Maxymilliano:




You ask yourself what happen to the reverred Ifa spirituality ...

babyfaceafrica:
Don't believe any news without source!!!!...dis dere source does nt have name abi!!!....when I see the dead body then I will believe....too many fake stories flying around!

“Members of his family who were with him in London had to hurry back home to remove their personal effects because once his death is declared all their property will belong to the people. They won’t be able to take anything from the palace anymore,”

saxywale:
The Ooni wearing Ade Aare on Olojo day. This is Oduduwa's original crown and the crown itself is under the beads. The Ooni becomes one with Oduduwa and transform into an orisha on this day .

mikaael:




Guess u'll wait for long cos u can neva see d dead body of a king nt to talk of the great ooni!

lucianohase:
That's y I love this digital age,it reveals some hidden truths that shouldn't be revealed immediately. The nigga is dead n gone n they r playing culture on who to sight n who shouldn't! What of the doctors n nurses that have been looking at his lifeless body! Well,that's their business

rottenegg:
Can someone please explain to me what the big commotion is all about? The man is dead...the man isn't dead...so what? Just another kingship struggle about to start.

oderemo:

Don't still get this tradition where cannibalism still exist.
Africans and archaic believe. In as much its not sijuades son/grandson to used must be OK isnt it?

ccaramel:
His son is still getting married tomorrow!!! That would be bad on his side if his father died and he went ahead with the wedding. By tomorrow, we'll know if he's alive or not. If he shows at the wedding......

dyabman:


What was he speaking when he came ? We Yorubas are just so confused about our fake history.. Mtcheeeew !!

destinysaid:
like my post on a previous thread, tradition n culture does not connect in anyway to advanCement in tech or country ...... Japan, china , india , these countries all treasure their culture and tradition n yet are more advanced dan us........ Halloween Is a yearly practice oversea, doesn't mean that us/uk aint developed, if we abandon culture, we lose ourselves, we are like ppl without a history,

The suit n tie we wear, d english we speak, the books we read, these are after effects of colonisation, whr d white man forced us to accept HIS CULTURE, claiming we were barbaric.

mrborntodoit:


Check SARS , thank me later !

tpiander:


Yoruba

sweetgala:


It says he either came down from heaven with a rooster in hand or he came from Egypt whichever one you believe

ladycomfort:
. What is SARS please

dyabman:


I believe None lol

sweetgala:


If the new king intends to live long or be able to wear the crown without dying of head ache he would have to do what you call "cannibalism" what we call culture

sweetgala:


like that your sentence greatly because it starts with the objective qualifier "I" it makes no attempt to deny the mythology as it can be said

oderemo:

I guess you know what you are bargaining for contesting such crown, but the idea of eating fellow human doesn't make you a demi god I presumed, the culture of sacrificing 7 heads with a dead human being is something we need to challenge not just accept anymore.
Maybe if the 7 heads are members of his families the act will Change. We should not just accept it that it's tradition, its gotten us as pple not that far though.

Have wondered about stuff like this in the past , somethings really needs to be addressed imminently , we need CHANGE in that area of tradition really..
