I thought the idiots were denying the fact dat d nigga was dead

So chief priest self de grant interview

All this boils down to creating enemies between the 4 families cos everyone wants the next Ooni to come from his or her family
Which might even lead to death of some heirs to the throne

cococandy:


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.

Madam if you are in Ife or have someone there tell him or her not to stay late at NIGHT till new king is crowned ok nd when I said late I mean 10:30pm upward shalom.sebi omo yoruba ni e kilode to n soro bayi

These people 'sef

kristisking:
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.

Yea I agree with u serving God in peace and unity is what polytheism stands for (atleast as far as yoruba spirituality is concerned ) so I presume d ppl serving the Devil you are refferin to are those borrowed monotheistic religions from the Arabs and the Jews that knows no peace (A.k.a "my God is beta than yours" ) that u lots shamelessly follow blindly

Indirectly speaking the Ooni is ........... You can complete it.

Hmmm good to hear that though(Am friend to D.O faguwa)family also from Okeigbo

If it happens
that an Ooni dies, there are sacrifices and
signs that will be performed. Part of them
is the closing of the palace main gate. Also,
the messenger will go around the town with
a gong to announce the demise, while the
trees in the ancient town will be cut down,
markets will remain shut to customers and
the entire Ife city will be thrown into
mourning.

Does it mean this people even the so called chief priests can't even make consultation to determine whether the Ooni is still alive . Why keeping the People of Ife in Suspense or do this people think that the Ooni cannot die? Habaaaa
Can u imagine Cutting down trees(Probably economic trees ) just to honor who is already gown thereby empoverishing D people there ... am yet to understand the last statement which says.... the entire city of ife will be thrown into mourning ...i hope its not burying the Ooni with 7human heads ?
Just asking

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.

When your tradition dies you No long Exists. Tradition is Identity. That's why African Americans are the way they are, they have no Tradition and no Identity no Loyalty to their Race

Oke Igbo after Ifetedo.
The first town in Ondo State after crossing the River boundary between Osun state and Ondo state.

That should be country home of D.O. Fagunwa. His works are centred on the forest of Oke-Igbo.

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

Rauf Aregbeshola is the person to choose a new ooni.

Tolexander:
something I don't really understand.

I guess Oke Igbo has no King but Baale.

Very possible he was an Ooni(Head of Ife) and Baale of Oke Igbo (head of Oke Igbo).

Ooni Derin Ologbenla was a powerful king.

The Ologbenlas in Ife seem to have their village towards that side(Ifetedo Oke Igbo). Not really sure anyway.

The Ologbenlas in Oke-igbo are an extension of the the ruling house in Ife..More area.

The Governor of each state appoints traditional rulers. The present (or dead) Ooni, Okunade Sijuade was appointed by Governor Bola Ige of (Old) Oyo State in 1980.

Tolexander:
Ooni Adelekan (Olubuse 1) was the that first Ooni to travel out of Ife to Lagos to settle the dispute in Shagamu between Elepe and Awujale after being invited by the then Governor General. Not Ooni Derin Ologbenla.

Ooni Derin Ologbenla was the Son of Odudua, Generations before Adelekan. Ikorodu was not Lagos then.

Did anybody affirm that the Ooni is dead in the OP? No. The Chief Priest used the word "if."

I guess There's some process to announcing the death of the king, also inhabitants of the palace have to move their stuff so as not to risk losing them.
But most importantly some of these kings do die “momentarily“ and rumours of their death spread only for them to “return“ with the claim of just being ill.But this one has gone on for long enuf,I think the dude is really gone (waja).

Aregbe can appoint the king after HE(Ooni)might 've been chosen by (Ifa)king makers as the case maybe

Dexema:

Appointed not chosen

The kingmakers make recommendations. The emergence of anybody as the king rests with the Governor. That is the way it has been since the colonial days.

Of cos he can appoint after Ifa(king makers)might 've chosen who is rightful Ooni hp u get my fact right?

hmmmm
