The death of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, has brought up many controversies. First, there were disputes about whether he had really died, then disagreement over the curfew in the state and now the ‘Abobaku’. The Abobaku has reportedly run away after the death of the prestigious Oba. If the tweet below is to be believed, it means the final rites on behalf of the deceased Ooni of Ife might be stalled. According to Daily Alert Nigeria Breaking:The Final burial rite for Late Oba Sijuade the Ooni of Ife, may be stalled as the “Abobaku” reportedly on the run. Story developing… According to Yoruba tradition, a king does not die alone. His burial rites include being buried with other people. This is when an Abobaku comes into the picture. An 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. An Abobaku also enjoys great benefits while he is still alive. /p4H34K-4kM

They said he Abobaku was enjoying all the enjoyables when the king was alive, sorry to ask this question,
1. was Abobaku also sick alongside with the king?
2. Was the king sharing his salaries and all d goats n chickens brought to him with him?
3.were they in London together before his death?
Abobaku if u still de 9jeria sef na u know cuz na only the king waka cum dis world and na only him go waka enter coffin.
However, if u chose to be buried with d king before now then go and start diging the grave before i look 4 u.


Last time my Bible told me only Jesus Christ volunteered to die for us.
