There's need to deny the death of Ooni cos the announcement of king's death especially that of Ooni follow due process backed with necessary sacrifices.Is not an ordinary king(man)

Intrepidone:
And they keep lying about HRH demise. # SMH

do u av problem understanding simple English, the priest said dia ar some rituals and notifications to be followed before d death can be announced, pls don't derailed d thread with ur incoherent post.

Ooni went on an excursion inside the asbestos!

ITbomb:
APC might rig it if it was an open election and a dullard would have emerged as the Ooni (god forbid!)

well when it comes to traditional rulers,thr Governors has the last say on who ascend the throne.

By the way when last did anyone hear about the Oba of benin?

archaic, barbaric, denounced traditions.

Some people cnt undestand simple English,a journalist asked the minute what will hppen if an Ooni dies..and you people are mis-intepreting the man...he didn't say Ooni is dead he is simply replying the journalist,please read the post well....dts by the way....I guess until the Ooni comes out to deny it himself,the news will continue....watever rocks their boat!!

Op is correct and consistent with the facts of history...at the risk of sounding immodest and atttacting all sorts of remarks, i am indeed a direct descendant of Ooni Derin Ologbenla . Our clan eventually settled in Oke-Igbo but we still maintain our ties with the Giesi Ruling house at Moore in Ife. My dad used to tell us about this Prince thing and our ties with Ife and this made me curious to dig out the facts about it..Ti ori ban joba loola , u may av heard it first from here.

Hmm. Ok.

As long those sacrifices didn't involve human beings sha. (Heard some rumors like that)

Culture is a nice and wonderful thing. Warms the heart and add color and flair to very simple things.
It's only ugly when it begins to hurt people.

Hopefully this isn't one those kinds of cultural practices.

If it is, the earlier the people of that region began speaking against it, the better for their future generations.

Tolexander:
I have them as friends and neighbors. Just that I didn't really pay attention to issue like this.

Exactly what I'm saying. It is possible he was an Ooni and Baale of Oke Igbo since he had right to the thrones.

d write up says he was doubled as baale of oke-Igbo and Ooni of ife.

Shehucom:
In this 20th century someone is still going about with gong to announce the death of a king... Well, talk about traditions...



Never new a diety could die.

what do you say about smoke tradition for Pope emergence, abi na only Africa tradition dey primitive?

Segadem:
Don't mind those people jare, they think we are living in Igbo irumole island.

U niggas live in Pluto? Co's u're that far from news trends

My joy is that that silly governor will have no hand in who becomes the next Ooni. I don't want the great Ile Ife to end up with a political Oba like Lagos. And I also do not want the Kano episode anywhere close to Ile Ife.

I wonder why ppl keep asking stupid questions at least were all African were cultures plays a vital roles of environment especially when its comes to kingship making

n nobody has d right to announce his death even if he's dead. Except one person.

I've known the immediate past Ooni to be very regal. God bless Ile Ife, God bless Yoruba land and God bless Nigeria.

Ife tradition is very tedious one not jst anybody is allowed to have say thr its strictly for ordained people except if the governor wnt to be covered with leprosy(Sanpanan)

ooooops! Ile-Ife my home land .All these are clear indications that the ooni has 'waja'.Left is the official announcement.

Yoruba Culture.

As far as am concern there's lay down principles that r follow in Crowning a king especially that of Ile-Ife the use of human heads as u claimed is strange to me nd if its does happen then I believe things has changed ok.Am not jst contributing here

It is high time people did away with all those evil traditions in this century.One thing that amazes me atimes is the fact that most of these traditional rulers worship idols and you find out that some also attend churches or mosques.You can not serve God and devil at the same time.The earlier these people know this,the better.

Fetish @ it's Peak. I see why SW looks like a village

Intrepidone:
And they keep lying about HRH demise. # SMH

it is not a lie. did u read d passage? it says certain rites have to be performed before announcing his death. I am not yoruba buh please respect ppl's traditions and beliefs.

I didn't claim. I said I heard the rumors (hoping they aren't true). I can't something I don't know jare.

There's nothing wrong with laid down principles in announcing the death and choosing of a new traditional ruler. It's all a part of the ceremonies associated with it.
