There is nothing funny in Yoruba culture.Are Ibo's not claiming allegiance or attachment to Israel?why was David made king at a tender age by prophet Samuel when his brothers were alive and more matured.Ibos should relate how kingship operates in the bible with yoruba culture for better understanding.Ibo's have not been led by central heads before,what Ibo's are used to is clan/village chiefs(igwe),i have not heard of Kings in Ibo kingdom hence your system of leadership is not sacred rather to the highest bidders that is why you people can't comprehend how yoruba kings come about.

Yeah older people will bow but not the biological father. Its a taboo.

The king will not go anywhere unannounced that's why him and the father will not be seen publicly after he is crowned.

u r drunk. watin concern me with Igbo? I resemble igbo for ur eye? abi u dey craze?

The Olowo of Owo may appear to be holding tradition strong because he did it like those before him.

K'ase bi wan ti nse is what Yoruba would always say. If Ooni Adeyeye does it the way those before him (apart from Olubuse II) did it then there's no way he would not end up being great.

Lajamisan was wealthy, as a result he became Ooni, the fore feathers of these 4 houses already set a standard.

The father of a king is a king.

pat077:
So the father will have to prostrate to his son.

You be mumu. Mother of Queen Elisabeth is what? Is she a queen or a princess. I don't blame you I am sure u are igbo a set of people without regards for culture. Mumu

dned:
Serious...does he have to be a king while his father is alive. Meaning his father will be bowing to him. Its not fine with me...my opinion.

seangy4konji:
Will gladly accept to be ooni of Ife and join any cult that is attached To it gladly.

Bossforeva:
Every soon Rolls Royce will replace that Benz.

saxywale:

when you die, your body would be butchered and buried all over the town. You would also join many cults when you are alive. I could become a fancy King like the elegushi. but the Ooni is not just a king but a god(orisha). hope u get the mind sha.

Things changed in 1980 when Sijuwade paid Geisi to surrender their turn, and with this latest development i'm sorry to say the Ooni throne may as well be a decoration. It has ceased to be the cradle of yoruba race and the keeper of yoruba culture and tradition.

Olojo festival would come around soon enough, we'll see what happens, unless he would not wear the Aare crown

i am not currently in ife but is there any reason why non of the ife obas came to welcome him to ife, what of the ife elites?

The guy spent money though. I knew the government would quickly approve him as they need someone to ease their burden irrespective of EFCC's investigation(from the petition of the sijuwade's and other victims) the moment he donated transformers to ife, I watched a video of one if the local government chairman hailing him when the transformers were presented.

Please are you Igbo or Yoruba?

bokohalal:

Are you implying that Ifa had no role to play in his appointment?

kinibigdeal:

And why is that so important to you?

ferhyntorlah:

It isn't. BTW, I'm intrigued at your written Igbo.

True unfortunately he has not started on a good note, apart from the left chiefs and Ife people indifferent to the situation, he ha few fans, his first task would be to appease the elites who have written a petition against his selection due to his history. I know from private account he threatened to tell the world "Nkan te se ti ile fi jona" which might destroy the legacy of Olubuse II concerning his EFCC saga with Sijuade.

I hope he succeeds because as it is Ife is in a pitiable state, given where Aderemi left off things have gone bad

seunmsg:


But there is a general tradition not to crown as king a prince whose father is still alive.
