There is nothing like foreign myths here. stop been delusional. All this acclaim traditional religion too came from somewhere its later spread across the globe. Abrahamic religion is the truest way of life nd its not a foreign religion.

larryUG:
So you will rather they violate his body and remove his parts in the name of tradition

Belurved1:
Possibly he had paid his due when he was alive or he doesn't belong to them. If not, no one can stop them from performing their traditions.

They don't need any permission from anyone, they'll have their way by force once the deceased belong to them.

DeepSight:
Did your prophet fly to Jerusalem on a winged horse?

Layi4real:
he didn't have to fly his message just need to cut across the nations.

Empiree:
He was a Muslim and he did not hide it.. It was very disrespectful of traditionalists to attempt to disrupt burial rites

DeepSight:
The Quoran and Hadiths say he flew on a winged horse to Jerusalem.

What is that.

StUriah:
Have you forgotten that he ascended to the throne by participating in the traditional rituals? The Oba himself must have consumed ritual items in the process & I can say categorically that he was an Ogboni/Osugbo member. Otherwise, he won't become the king.

Now that he was buried according to Islamic rites, the Osugbo will proceed with proper burial according to the tradition of the Ijebu people. Whatever that needed to be taken from him would be taken. The next Oba will also be initiated & fed with souls & flesh of his predecessors.

Layi4real:
he didn't need to. infact I don't need to school u

ycat:
The Osugbo completed their rites before the announcement of Awujale’s death and will return at midnight for the last step.

he ate somebody's part he should return it back anyway they will still collect it one way on another, that is what you get when you mix with the wrong crowd

Thewesterner:
But he ascended the respectful traditional throne traditionally or Islamically?

jojothaiv:
Okay

But the Awujale is a cultural stool, right? And the king regardless of his religion is bounded by the culture/tradition surrounding the stool?

Belurved1:
To be a king in a Yoruba land Oga, you must pass through some traditions or rithes

They'll always claim to be either a Muslim or Christian after entronement but becoming a king in Ogun state thats deeply rooted in traditions, you don't expect anything less.

Empiree:
Go and claim his body and rebury him. You must learn to respect deceased and his family. If Onisese or Christian dies you don't see Muslims drag anytime with you. It is always you Christians and Onisese that are full of wahala.

My friend, it is become state law in ogun state that king is according to his religion not according some crazy tradition

Raf4:
Didn't he enjoy the paraphernalia and splendour of the throne? If you don't want to observe the tradition or be buried in traditional way, then opt for becoming a cleric instead of an Oba.

CrownedPhoenix:
This needs to frowned upon. Culture and traditions need to be enforced at such times as this.

Anyone who doesn't want to be buried in traditional ways has no business being Oba.

Imagine an Oba who is expected to be a keeper/preserver of traditions refusing to be buried in traditional ways.

Empiree:
This is like saying a Muslim Imam of 65 years who later converted to Isese should be buried according to Islamic rites just because he was made Imam according to Islamic tradition 65 years ago..

So your excuse doesn't hold water

larryUG:
Everybody has a right to be Oba, especially when you are from the royal lineage. Traditions are not cast in stone. As the Oba, he can tweak traditions if they dont serve any purpose. What good is a tradition that demands that an Abobaku be buried alive with a dead ma, or that virgins who didnt commit any offence be buried with the king, just for the fact that they are virgins. So such traditions need to be upheld too
