Not when his son ascends the throne of Ooni

whether ooni or watever,the parents prostrate for the king before he is enthroned,after the enthronement they don't prostrate ,if they do,..........

r

I expected nothing less.A king is a king,irrespective of the kings age

i cannot even bow to the ooni, talkless of prostrating.

That's why I love the Yorubas! They have humility!

Thanks papa. Am proud of you!

I didn't see Aregbesola(governor of Osun state) in that position when he(ooni of ife) visited th governor in his home and I can't see Aregbe prostrate when he visited the palace also.

Progressive01:
The Yorubas have such rich cultural heritage. I must admit I envy them a lot in this regard.

Tank u 4 speaking the truth

Okwuo to ekene Eze! That is how is done in IBO land.

But am amazed seeing OBj of 82 years old postrating for 42 years old Oni of Ife


Yoruba culture is really deep and endowed.

No offence intended but you are a madgoat.

Where did you get that from? Go and ask your elders properly

no mind am...na all this indomie generation

That is the reason why Baba Obasanjo will always conquered his enemies.

Did he told u he 4got z name ...he speaks as z name implies.

I just love this man called OBJ see as belle dey sweat me

It a sign of humility

Respect to every Yoruba man ... They respect their tradition die... What do we the igbos do ... We play with our own.... Now every child in Igbo land Rocks red traditional cap like for fun.... Shame us Igbos

Again not true. His mother will alway kneel before him as long as he is Ooni but not his father

[quote author=aribisala0 post=42658953][/quote]I agree..but none of them prostrate,that's is mine point,the mum kneels though!!

asEdeyHOT:
It is Yoruba tradition

The Ooni's father is still alive, he has to prostrate to his son when he comes to the Palace

His mother is deceased (May she RIP). If she was alive, she will kneel down until her son tells her to rise.

To all intents and purposes, he is no longer their son but their spiritual head ordained by the gods of our land

Anywhere I see him, I will prostrate flat and not stand up until I'm told do so

Kabiyesi Ki Ade pelori, ki bata pelese. Ikeji Orisha

this tradition get as e be oo.. Can't imagine my father kneeling before me

Kabiyesi

aribisala0:
He did not remove his hat which is even more important. At his age prostrating is not necessary but he should remove his hat and touch the ground.

I guess u are from kwara. Ilorin to be precede

Baba fi arugbo ara dobale sha

This life sha. God will not deny us his grace.

Trailblazer1:


OBJ and his theatrics

Though I have no love for him

But I duff my hart for this display of respect to tradition

OBJ has always been a man who emphasises culture and tradition.

Have you ever seen him in a suit?

Your dp though.. Don't you think that's some sort of subtle endorsement of rap£

martineinstein:

That is why it is Yoruba tradition and not anyone else's

I'm in love with my tradition and culture

Ooni of Ife is a king, Ifeland for that matter he's a king of kings of yorubaland and traditional leader the only person that cannot prostrate to him is a pastor. That's why if he visit church he will go with royal honour and will not prostrate to pastor and vise versa.

Christianity is the main culprit. That religion penetrated Igboland more than Yorubaland. And in a more fundamental way that chipped away at the solidity of Igbo culture. The lack of centralisation of power made Igboland particularly vulnerable to the English people's antics.

Wow...Much respect to Ebora Owu.
