How The Ooni Of Ife Died In London - Sahara Reporters by lalasticlala(mod): 5:05pm On Aug 03, 2015
SaharaReporters has learned that the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade, the death of whom will soon be officially announced, died at the London Clinic, located at 20 Devonshire Place in London.

The palace of the late Oba is still denying his passing, but Premium Times reported at the weekend revealed that his body has already been secretly flown into Nigeria and placed within the palace to enable death rites of passage to commence.

His death is expected to be officially announced as soon as the required traditional rituals are concluded in Ile-Ife.

The Ooni was rushed to London on Friday July 24, and was taken from Heathrow Airport in an Ambulance to the clinic where he passed four days later.

As expected of tradition, the death of Ooni is being wrapped in secrecy by the traditional council in Ile-Ife.  SaharaReporters has confirmed the death of the monarch, but the traditional council, which began the required rites of passage last weekend, still maintains that the Ooni is “hale and hearty”.

The Oba was conspicuously absent at his son’s wedding yesterday, however, he was represented by his traditional staff of office.

Would there have been this embarrassment of traditional rites/rituals if he died inside his palace with health facilities and medicines developed by us huh
Instead of investing in the education of all our children we are doing EMPTY swagger.
SMH!

IS HE DEAD OR NOT?

I HOPE IF HE DIED, HE DIED ACCEPTING JESU.S

AS JESU.S IS ALIVE WHILE MOHAMMED IS DEAD.

JESU.S PROMISES SALVATION TO ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM


MARK 16
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

WHILE AT THE SAME TIME JESU.S WARNED ANYBODY WHO REJECTS HIM IS CONDEMNED.

MARK 16:16b
but he that believeth not shall be damned.

THAT'S WHY EVEN MOHAMMED HAS NO PROMISE OF HEAVEN LET ALONE HIS FOLLOWERS MUSLIMS

SURAH 46:9
Nor do I know what will be done with me or with you(MUSLIMS).

Just because of selfies interests they play politics with the dead?

Not surprised atall since a certain group of people could conspire to play national politics with lives in the North.

In GEJ's calm voice, '' My ambition does not worth human blood " And he demonstrated it.

Unlike some people signing peace pact with one hand , promising blood of baboon and lagoon on the other hand.
