By their subjects. Ogun and Sango are two very popular Yoruba deities that are still being worshiped till today all over the region. Both were Kings during their lifetime. In fact, Ogun is the predecessor and father of Ooni Obalufon Ogbogbodirin that Ooni Ogunwusi recreated in the above picture.

In the palace of every leading Yoruba Monarch, there is a groove/shrine where former kings are buried. The people of the town go their annually to worship and offer sacrifice.
liar! Stop lying and misleading people on nairaland. Kings are never buried in the palace. Don't quote me coz I am a true son of ado-ekiti.

was only asking him maybe his ancestors have finally get to know thier origin. You know, they've been strugling about this issue for so long hence my question about where he originate from. They are just like ADOS(African descendant of slaves) in white lands, they are lost, they have no origin, they just know they are blacks and they exist. It's a sad tale.

I’m not an atheist. At best, you can describe me as a deist. You also need to note that my comments on this thread has nothing to do with my personal belief. We are discussing Yoruba culture and tradition here.

Btw, religion is not limited to Christianity and Islam, we have other religions.
Bro leave that person joor, he or she is just winning you. You have done great job by enlightening him/her despite the fact that his or her intention was not to learn.

Then why are you quoting me?

It's either one of the following:

1. You're sore because I struck a nerve

2. You're a busybody nonentity who's got nothing better to do

3. You're pushed to comment just so to assuage your feeling of unimportance and inadequacy

4. You're all of the above, and then some.

why you calling him liar? There are certain places they buried the first lived kings of the centuries and yes many of them were buried where they built palaces today and it's true many places all over yorubaland worship their ancestors which are mostly in turn the first king of such communities,towns and all.

Must everything of value be sold? You come across as a prodigal son or at best a very hungry fellow... what makes you think there is any amount worth selling the Obalufon stuff for? Have you heard a Briton talk about selling artifacts from the Burkingham Palace?

I said don't quote me. Just stop lying and misleading people all because you want to sound good or knowledged. There is a separate groove in every town where obas are laid. I know where that of ado- ekiti is located. It's a sacred place tho. I am a frequent visitor to ewi of ado-ekiti palace and no such thing exist. And so many towns in Yoruba land don't observe such practice.Some town might bury their king in the palace but don't generalise it. Generalising it makes it a lie. And let me school you again, kings are not buried in Yoruba land beacuse they are not human.

You can worship ur dead King or worship Jesus, not the two.



Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

You are hyperventilating over nothing. I’m from Okemesi Ekiti and the groove where kings are buried is right behind the palace. The groove is called “Ile Ebora” and I’ve been there severally. When I’m in Ekiti, I stay in the palace so stop telling me what I know.

So many palaces have been moved from the original sites so it’s quite possible that the groove where Ewi’s are interred May be far from the current palace. It doesn’t change the fact that kings are buried in grooves near the palace and worshiped annually.

Hmmmm, I don't have much to say but... when our ooni ascended the throne then, there was news of various agreement signed with various companies to advance agricultural concerns in the town. Years have gone by, to the best of my knowledge no fruits have been borne from the supposed agreements signed. But I see a resort home that was rushed, hurriedly completed. That though might have brought minimal development to Ile Ife, I feel or rather know that if an agricultural venture, processing facilities of sorts had been pursued, it would no doubt have brought about better development.

you are still lying. The high chief arowa of ado- ekiti compound in ado- ekiti is just adjacent to the palace. I frequent arowas compound too. That's the only place where you find tomb of past arowas. Kings aren't buried oga they ain't human. Visit ewi of ado vast palace next year for udi uroko and kindly take pictures of the tombs u can find there and post here let's all see. Since you want to sell your lies by all means.
