Why should an Obas body be taken to a mosque?? It is Oba and not Emir??
Ikorodu is no Muslim emirate where Yoruba traditions aren't regarded.
The Oba is a representative of the kingdom not Islam.
This is a direct insult to the throne and I urge the afobaje to strictly punish the late Oba by suspending his house from Obaship till further notice

onoja12: slave mentality,you are trying to do a Muslim burial for a man that was a traditional rulercant you people think, if the religion was so important,he would have stepped down from the traditional stool to be a Muslim,as long as you refer to him as Oba ,please note that you people just wasted your time his body is traditional right

eyeview: I give a big kudos to the islamic clerics if this means that the oba was buried according to islamic rites rather than the traditional rites which would have required some fetish practices(that does include human sacrifice).
I also commend the late oba whom am sure insisted that islamic burial be performed for him rather than some crude and wicked traditional burials.
We thank God and I urge other obas who have embraced christianity to insist on a christian burial upon death. Those blood thirsty men would have no option but to respect the wishes of the dead oba. Kudos

Mustapha111888: Oba and Emir are tantamount. Just different names base on regions

caseless: what are u saying? What has being oba got to do with personal religion? Late ATTAH OF IGALA, Dr Aliyu Obaje, died on the throne and was buried according to islamic rite. Abi ar u saying yoruba ppl uphold that culture than igala pple Infact, oboni dat took over now is a traditionalist n shall b buried accordin 2 traditional rites. So wat's d fuse I'm sure if he was buried accordin to xtain rite, u'd nt hav said this

kushstalin: person wey don de burn already for hell

Yomieluv: Op,who told you the traditional rites won't still be performed on the corpse? The bringing of the corpse to the mosque is just an hypocrisy on the part of the oba's family..Obas in yorubaland goes beyond being affiliated to a certain religion,without being subjected to the traditional rite of the land..either the family likes it,or not,the rite would still be performed.

macof: What a pity
What were the Afobaje chiefs doing when they let this sacrilege?

puscifer: can you differentiate between emir and oba ?

cosade:
An Oba is a traditional ruler while an Emir is an Islamic leader. The Sultan is the paramount Emir in Nigeria and thus the foremost Islam leader in the country. That is the reason why the Muslim populace have to rely on him to announce sighting of moon either to commence or end the Ramadaan. Unlike an Oba who is regarded as next to the gods, he is part of the traditional religion set up. The traditional religion worshippers are the Ogun, Sango,Osun devouts.
The truth is if you're either a Muslim or Christian then you don't have any business being an Oba in Yorubaland and in Edo and Delta States. I am sure you'll recall the recent case of the Olu of Warri. If you become converted to Christian as an Oba then the most logical thing to do is abdicate the throne. I laugh when I see arrays of Obas at the Holy Ghost Service.
It may interest you to know that I am a Yoruba Prince but has never aspire to be an Oba because I am a Christian.

smada13: oh! my darling ikorodu oga, a soko bi eni seke ....

omo imota ayayo........


the truth is this, for them not to have bury him, the traditional rites still stand..

I remembered when my dad's elder brother died..(he was an aro in my village in imota, ikorodu) we spent weeks to bury him...but first, the Muslim clerics came around to perform their rites cus he was an Alhaji....then the oloros and others took over....it was tough and hectic....I and my family only went for the final burial cus of our Christian belief....

Adieu my lovely Ayangburen.......
