Traditional Worshippers have condemned the open display of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi’s corpse during the Muslim prayer session, which they said was against the tenets of traditional respect for a dead king.

The traditionalists, in an interview with Vanguard by their chairman in the state, Surveyor Adefabi Dasola and secretary, Mogaji Dr Fakayode Fatunde, respectively yesterday, noted that it was rather disappointing to have seen the corpse of the revered Alaafin being displayed all over the internet adding that it was saddening and they wanted it to be on record that as a body, they are protesting the act, saying they we did not want their children and grandchildren to question them in the future that they did not act or talk.

The chairman said: “The same disparaging act was witnessed during the burial of late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji and we made our minds known as well, this is a trend that must stop or we will all be contributing towards the total annihilation of our tradition and culture, our Yoruba monarchs and kingmakers should please make efforts at remedying this malady.”

It's really unfortunate that Arab people religion is what Blackman now sees as superior to his

Alafin was a sango worshipper and was never shy from living luxurious life while alive

So I wonder how things suddenly changed in his death

He was buried according to Islamic rite not according to Yoruba traditional rite

ILaughing

My spirit says I should type(it's very disturbing when yolobas act surprised or shocked. You supported hijab for missionary abi government schools,you supported everything wrong that kills tradition and you wanna comman act shocked )


it's very disturbing when yolobas act surprised or shocked. You supported hijab for missionary abi government schools,you supported everything wrong that kills tradition and you wanna comman act shocked ... God of Thun....er,locate them and their fake pretense

is there any difference between both right now? Religion is tradition to all yolobas ooo. Abi you don't know camel people aiming the Atlantic also brainwash asides killings and forceful conversion. Ask people in Auchi, Edo state

Somethings are truly not meant to be online.
I really don't understand how and why people video/snap the dead and put online...much more,a king.


It's bad and has to be stopped.

They've got a point though.

It was despicable seeing the king's body being bandied about like that.

Lesser monarchs in tiny Benin Chiefdoms command a greater level of class and finesse than that displayed at the Alafin's Funeral.

They should fix up.

His family requested the islamic prayer.


He was later buried in the traditional religion way.

Was the Alaafin even a practising Muslim, with his 18 wives?
