Though, I'm not in support of Asiwaju's action but situational circumstances might prevent him from observing the cultural exercise. It was somewhat irritating the other time I saw a governor not paying due respect to the Alafin of Oyo. We all saw how governor Kayode Fayemi prostrated to greet Iku Baba Yeye when he paid the king a courtesy home visit. Cultural rules are rules that are expected to be followed irrespective of your social status.

Jagaban influences his attainment to the throne....It is not necessarily disrespect...it is a different thing if it was in his palace...So you can call Jagaban the unofficial Baba Oba if that title exists...Abeg make you na leave Jagaban alone.

Benbellamor:

Baba Oba..common Governor
Now.2 time president Obasanjo Prostrate for OONI ojaja

Tinubu is just a business man...he is alien to the real yoruba culture he is unfit for Asiwaju

DCatt:
I won't either, Tinubu knows Ooni is not Oba/king and has no business outside the shrine where he should be attending to the Orisa as their custodian.

There's no Oba in Ile Ife, it's the land of Orisa under Alaafin Oyo.

It all started during independence when Alaafin decided not to sell Yorubaland and the govt at the time looked for a Judas and found Ooni Adesoji Aderemi who they propped up and started dealing with.

Ooni is not Yoruba Oba but an impostor.

Every Yoruba Oba has an Abore/highpriest working under him and that was what Ooni is to Alaafin.

Ctorch:
vVdeo evidence of how Tinubu disrespected Ooni of Ile Ife at an event in Lagos by remaining on his seat.
Everyone stood up to great the Ooni, except Tinubu.

Bro, I must say that must loudmouths from Yari.ba ethnicity do not know the revelation from the above post. Ooni was never an Oba. This crap surrounding Ooni was created by Awolowo and Action Group to spite Alaafin of Oyo who opposed Awolowo's tribal politics.

DCatt:
Maybe you should find a functioning brain for yourself first, you need to understand that not everybody will fall for your scam.

Ooni is not Yoruba Oba and it doesn't matter how long you push the fraud, he's not traditionally Oba but Abore, an Orisa attendant!

Dedetwo:
I guess Tinubu knew the true history behind the Ooni.

DCatt:
Exactly!

Tinubu has done more for Yorubaland than a thieving Ooni who actually defrauded people in Lagos and Ile Ife. He doesn't know his job as Orisa custodian and he will be disgraced more than his predecessor who took money from Abacha and literally sold Abiola. People had to beg Tinubu and Osun state government to attend his funeral.

espn:
Whoever started this is mad as if Saraki will bow down for the emir of ilorin...When last did the idiot stoodup to greet his father or elders...

TimeManager:
Much ado over nothing. Tinubu paid the Ooni a courtesy visit during the last guber election whereby he prostrated before him. Tinubu knows the culture.

kiss the truth!

First of all omo Eebo, most Yoruba know this and I have known this since I was 5 years old and I'm ijebu. When you talk to Cubans and Brazilians the king they know is Alaafin Oyo, it's now they are hearing about Ooni and that's because he travels a lot. They know Ooni as Orisa caretaker not king. I'm sure Awolowo did not do it with the purpose of what is happening right now. He probably thought it was just for a short time. Awolowo made Ooni governor of western region because they were both traditionalist and best friends and he didn't get along with Alaafin.

GarangDeMabior:
Why should he respect the Ooni, Tinubu na Ooni and oba on his own.

Between Tinubu and Ooni, who is higher in rank?


Meanwhile, that Ooni no dey stay one place?

It's a big and heavy task on you writing notes to defend your absurdity. I wouldn't have made a statement if not for your repetitive rants. You are trying to pitch Oyo against Ife, when it is well known by all Yorubas that the latter is the foundation of their ancestry.

If you are paid to do this, the fund might not last you beyond a while, but if it is to divide the Yoruba nation, May it be solidified and your wish become thwarted.

Oduduwa was a Yoruba divine king. According to tradition he was the holder of the title of the Ooni of Ile-Ife, the Yoruba holy city. He was not only the first ruler of a unified Ife, but also the progenitor of various independent royal dynasties in Yorubaland and ancestor of their numerous crowned kings..so tell me is Awolowo that popularize Oduduwa?

NGpatriot:



Who was their preference candidate and why did their preference candidate rejected??

You people sabi make up lies and rubbish sha.

GarangDeMabior:



Go and rest, Ooni is the most powerful king in yorubaland.


1. Ooni of Ife
The Ooni of Ife is the most powerful king in Yoruba land. The current Ooni of Ife is Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi . According to the Alake of Egbaland, the Ooni is the first of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland just like the Sultan of Sokoto is the highest ruler in the northern part of Nigeria. This is because his supremacy dates back to the origin of the Yoruba tribe. He is also one of the most influential figures in Nigeria and he recently married Queen Morenike Naomi Oluwaseyi, a prophetess.
