People always misinterprete this yoruba tradition.
There are two reasons why this is done.
1. Back in the day, yoruba kings were seen as
demi-gods and highly revered. Therefore it was
thought not to be proper for the young widows
who were still young enough to remarry be taken
up by mere mortals. Hence, another Oba must
inherit them.
2. For the older wives, some of them very old.
Who would take care of them if the new Oba
sends them packing from the palace? Hence, he
is also to become their husband thereby
guaranteeing their sustenance till death. He might
not even set eyes on them till they die. But he
has the responsibility for their well being. That is
the whole essence of this practice

No. Why blaming the media? I will rather blame you people! And as for the northerners, its better they leave your land! We here in the north will not attack you, but rather we will stop whoever want to attack you! Violence is Not The Way! #peaceBrother
