Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Ooni Of Ife! by chichriso(op): 9:52pm On Feb 05, 2016
The last time they met last year when Former President Obasanjo escorted Oba Adeyeye to Ife for his seclusion to becoming Ooni,it was the Ooni who went down on all fours in Salutation...Now the tables have turned and Obasanjo didnt disappoint as he paid a historic visit to the new Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II and he went down flat on the floor in Salutation.

And verily everyone is subjected to a Kabiyesi as long you respect the tradition. In yoruba land an Oba is seen as a deity, you can be noble than him( the King) but you are not greater than the throne.

Kabiyesi Alayelua igba keji orisa eje ki o tumi se o ASE!!! Wa.

It is Yoruba tradition

The Ooni's father is still alive, he has to prostrate to his son when he comes to the Palace

His mother is deceased (May she RIP). If she was alive, she will kneel down until her son tells her to rise.

To all intents and purposes, he is no longer their son but their spiritual head ordained by the gods of our land

Anywhere I see him, I will prostrate flat and not stand up until I'm told to do so

Yoruba tradition is amazing

The greatest tribe in Africa without any competition

The culture bestowed upon us is scientific,yet mysterious

It is process based and yet arcane

I will choose to come to this world as a Yoruba 1 million times over

Odua a gbe wa ooo

Re: Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Ooni Of Ife! by DonLo: 10:36pm On Feb 05, 2016
I initially thought this thread was a joke not until I opened it. I think Obasanjo even understands the enormity of the ooni's position than ooni himself. Now peeps will be careful not to greet him at least without a bow. If the WHOLE OBJ can prostrate then no right thinking Yoruba will do contrary. Ka de pe lori.

The Yorubas have such rich cultural heritage. I must admit I envy them a lot in this regard.

Wow! Very impressive.

Long may He reign.

What obj did publicly confirms the new oni went through a proper initiation to be the king.

God is the king of Kings. A proper Yoruba king however is very powerful spiritually, he has control of the unseen coordinators of Fire, water, air and land. These kings go through things that make them transcend to the point where heaven and earth meet. No ordinary human can transcend there spiritually and return to earth.

This is where the celestial decisions are taken.

He did not remove his hat which is even more important. At his age prostrating is not necessary but he should remove his hat and touch the ground.

Yoruba tradition for his father to prostrate for him? Really?
