Is Alaafin of Oyo a traditional worshiper? Well let me assume because he is the King he is the custodian of the culture and the automatic chief priest of the gods. But why is it that most traditional worshipers are always muslims? Why is it that it is easy to merge islam religion and traditional religion?

This guy needs a brain reset

So, saying that our royal king bleached his skin (like MJ) is now a personal attack? So, you think it's okay for our 1st class trying to denounce his heritage by bleaching his skin. And what sort of message, is he inadvertently communicating to his subjects?

When did he speaks up for his people-yorubas? Was it when the fulanis ransacked Igangan simply 'cause Igboho sent the Seriki of Igangan packing ( if he failed to fish out those fulani who killed Dr. Aborede)?

Did the Alafin speak up when fulanis invaded Yewa community and sent the indigenes into IDP camp in Benin. They are still languishing in Benin Republic over a year later whilst many lost their lives.

Wetin koncern me with his wives? Melo lafe do lo 'bo, ta ni ki ile, ma mo?

the only thing that caught my interest in that letter is the signature of the late traditional ruler. that signature is beyond world class

Subsequently a declaration of a specific date / day (20th August) for the observance of our Traditional Religion as "TRADITIONAL RELIGION DAY" just like Easter, Christmas, Idel Fitiri and Idel Kabir.

Even kabiyesi that was a Muslim before his death put Easter and Christmas before evil fitri and evil kabir because he knew the difference.

T9ksy:




yeah, of course ! He had so much respect for tradition that he started looking like a MJ double.

He had so much respect for tradition that he went mute as his "sons" are being butchered in their farms and homes by so-called foreigners.

Abi kofe da fun eleyi ni
. that's how he was born
Check his pics when he was in his 30s

Clonelord:
The dead talks.... He who has ears let him hear

The Alaafin can never die.

He will live on and continue to speak

One of the remnants he left behind for the boys

I swear this man look like horror

Makinde should comply with the request. I am a christian but we need to allow every religions to also enjoying fairness.

Utterances should & must have value! My 1 kobo

Lobarton

Yet they buried him as a Muslim and not a traditionalist

2oth of AUGUST is stamped by me.

His signature is more beautiful than that on Naira notes. That name alone is terrifying. IKU BABA YEYE. CHAI...

REMINDER FOR EXECUTIVE APPROVAL OF PUBLIC HOLIDAY FOR TRADITIONAL RELIGION

1. Kindly accept my royal pleasantry and best wishes Your Excellency. I wish to respectfully draw Your Excellency's attention to our traditional religion, which is part of our heritage and needs to be preserved. It is today widely accepted and practiced in other parts of the world, especially in the African Diaspora.

2. It is crystal clear that since the inception of this administration, peace and tranquility had been reigning and it is only in an atmosphere of peace and unity that development and progress can thrive. However the recognition given to Christianity and Islam is physically pronounced with the declaration of a particular day or date for the observance of a festival day for the adherents of these two religions.

3. Subsequently a declaration of a specific date / day (20th August) for the observance of our Traditional Religion as "TRADITIONAL RELIGION DAY" just like Easter, Christmas, Idel Fitiri and Idel Kabir.

4. Pursuant to the above I wish to request that Your Excellency to show commitment for this project of continuity of peace and unity through endorsement of initiatives to move Oyo State up in the global cultural index scale by recognizing Traditional Religion and declaring August 20 of every year a public holiday as "TRADITIONAL RELIGION DAY".

6. Kindly consider these propositions as appropriate steps in our collective efforts to re-invent Oyo State.

7. Please accept the assurance of highest regards from Royal Stool.

Good one. What I don't like is the subtle threat of disruption to peace. Must we always toe that line to back up our arguments?

Not yoruba, but this letter seems odd to me.
Alaafin was more of a muslim than a traditionalist. If he so wanted to preserve the traditional religion, then he should have not been hurriedly buried a day after his death because that fulfills more of his Islamic belief/requirement, than a traditional one. I know that it takes some weeks or maybe even months to officially announce demise of such a king after several traditional stuff has been done, but the council announced his death immediately and Imam was invited. Anyways, what do I know?

SpatialKing:
Yet they buried him as a Muslim and not a traditionalist

They didn't bury him as a Muslim. They only said islamic prayers over his body upon the request of his family.

He was buried as a Yoruba at night .

Infact its not even confirmed if he's still been buried because the Isese death rituals for the Emperor are already on their 3rd day and still ongoing.



Kindly see this thread for proofs :

U should have asked your parents if alafin was really bleaching that's if your parent was old enough in the 70's.they would have told u that he is a fair man

Nigeria is survival of the fittest. Either we toe the line or them. As you know, it is usually them.

And all those hungry imam were praying on his dead body as if he was a Muslim. Islam like claiming anything just to shout allahuakibar

yeah, of course ! He had so much respect for tradition that he started looking like a MJ double.

He had so much respect for tradition that he went mute as his "sons" are being butchered in their farms and homes by so-called foreigners.

He was the only king in Nigeria that openly spoke against the presidency for their support to Fulani herdsmen.

It's past time to start double-checking before following people's write-ups, musical expressions, or even conversations. Imagine a king requesting greater recognition for traditional religion but being buried under Islamic injunction. That's similar to how one popular musician sang about "no place like home." He died and was buried in another country - truly, aajo o da'bi ile (no place like home)

When all the people clamoring for traditional this and that eventually dies, the moment they pass on to eternity and realize there is no one else or way to access the gate of heaven except through Jesus, they'll be dumbfounded and wish for another chance. If we all realize this truth early enough while on earth, no one will be wasting their life in pursuit of traditional religion or any other religion for that matter. We'll all have our lives surrendered to the Lordship of Christ without a second thought.

Oh I think you should have gone public with this while he was alive and probably do a YouTube video or a viral video and berate his person. Coward! Now that he is no more u feel u have the mouth to berate him and more so to add insult to your whole charade, you are even Yoruba. Continue so gbo Omo oni ran ki ran.

I wish I saw that picture where they say “You are nothing but werey in the sight of God”.
