Ooni’s Burial Stalled, As ‘Abobaku’ Absconds
Posted by editor


the play" Death and the kings horseman" written by Prof.Wale Soyinka.seems to be playing out itself.

Unconfirmed report have stated the burial of Ooni of Ife Oba Okunade Sijuade may have been stalled as the ‘Abobaku’ – a person elected to be buried alive with the king- have absconded.

The Paradigm learnt that ‘Abobaku’ is a person selected by the traditional chiefs of Ile Ife to live and die with the king. They are said to be treated well and showered with a lot of care and gifts while they are alive.


Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade
However, in a new twist, the ‘Abobaku’ ran away following the confirmation of the death of the Oba on several media platforms, despite denials by the Traditional Royal Council of Ife.

Awara of Iwara-Ife, Oba Layi Adereti, had yesterday disclosed that formal announcement of Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade’s death will be made on Wednesday (today).

According to Yoruba tradition, a king does not die alone. His burial rites include being buried with other people.

‘Abobaku’ lives his life for the king and he is buried alongside the king. In the authentic tradition, just as there is a lineage that become king, there is also always a family dedicated to the ancient belief of dying with the king.

Oba Adereti, who is also head of Oro Cult in Ile-Ife, had while making the statement on Tuesday warned residents of the ancient town, whether male or female, to remain indoor during the Oro rite, which will take place between 9am and 4pm, Wednesday.

“This is an official statement from the palace of Awara of Iwara-Ife, who is head of Oro deity that on Wednesday 12th August, 2015, there would be official proclamation of the demise of Ooni of Ife.

“The proclamation will be made public during the Oro festival, being the final rites on the demise of Ooni of Ife. “Residents of the ancient town are therefore, urged to keep away from the streets between the hours of 9am and 4pm during which the Oro deity will be out.

“With the announcement, people are advised to stay in-door for the period the Oro will be out.”

It is not yet clear if the Traditional Royal Council will go ahead with the announcement with the fresh development of the disappearance of the ‘Abobaku’.....those who have read prof.Wale soyinkas. Death and the kings horseman will understand better

Look, buhari-agba, it is your own folks who were furious of the victories of the Nigerian army 6 weeks before elections, it is your folks who kept destroying the name of the Nigerian military and giving the victories of the Nigerian military to the few and ill trained chadian soldiers, and you guys did this all for politics without careing even one bit for the moral of the troops. So look, don't expect everybody to be and act like you, the guys who voted for GEJ have always supported the Nigerian army (contrary to the guys who voted for GMB). So I don't see any reason those who voted for GEJ will stop supporting the Nigerian military. I also remember a bht suicide bomber shouting "sai buhari" before exploding himself and killing a lot of people. So you better watch out for the people in your political inclination. On my side I wish buhari to do his job as president well and unite the country for the sake of every Nigerian.

I honestly don't get what you are trying to say, you are incoherent and confusing. no insult intended pls

from the comments am getting from some of my brothers it seems they will prefare to see our soldiers being dragged in the sands by bokoharam. e never reach this level nah!!
