Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife elect,
yesterday stormed Ile-Ife amidst fanfair. His installation
ritual rites will commence shortly and it’s in several stages.
It may take a total of 21 days as against the usual 30 days.

The Stages are:-

expressway. He must enter Ile Ife in the day time after his
name has been announced.


2. The Ooni will go to the Giesi Ruling House to be
installed as the Sooko. According to Ife tradition, he must
first be the Sooko of his family before he mounts the stool
of Ooni.


3. After his installation as Sooko, the Ooni will head to the
Obalufe Palace to perform rites at the Orunto River inside
the palace, after which, he will proceed to a forest on Ilesa
road for another round of rituals.

Ilofi for a minimum of 21 days for series of rites and
initiations.


5. The Ooni will meet an old woman in spirit to receive the

the power over the Yoruba race.

belong to the Isoro cult.

the both of my parent are from royal home, installing a king isn't a joke. though am nt from the yoruba race but i tell you it takes the devine intervention of God's to install a king without involvement of some unspeakable actions.

meanwhile it's well
