I don't think that Governor Aregbesola, who gave him certificate of his appointment as Ooni prostrated to him.
The Agbaya of Owu has always been a very good CLOWN who knows what EXCITES his 200 million mumus fellow citizens and will duly entertain them accordingly so they FORGET the terrible CORRUPTION that he has bestowed upon us.
QED!!!

I think in a way it is OK to pardon your ignorance, what I don't get is the arrogance from someone who is unintelligent.

Aregbesola can not prostrate before him because he himself occupies another "throne", which democracy in Nigeria has deemed larger in political terms than that of the Ooni.

If VP Osinbajo comes to Ile-Ife, he may just bow, but will not prostrate cos he occupies a seat as the head of the nation.

but then I can't say the same for your culture that requires a widow to scrape her hair, sleep with the corpse of her husband and drink water used to wash his body just to prove she didn't kill him.

emzila:

I sometimes heard is an abomination for the king to have his father prostrate before him in greeting. pls can u throw more light on that?

Burger01:
Where did you get that from I'm not too sure about that. You may be right though. Will ask my folks

How many of the things that you use daily were invented/produced/improved/maintained by the scientific, process-based culture of this greatest tribe in Africa?
Please sir, how many
Thanks

According to Chinua Achebe, this one of the things that affect the greatness of yoruba as they are limited by cultural kwekwem. For igbos, they fear no man or gods.

Sorry I don't argue with old jobless men

The progress of Yoruba land is there for all to see. Like any other race, we have our challenges but we are moving forward

You are just a few years younger than Obasanjo and you have not achieved 0.00000001% of what he has.

You are far older than the Ooni and yet you don't know how to respect your own culture

africanusvu:
Sory if am wrong.though i am ibo.but i do knw OONI is a highly reverd king.u hardly see him,hear him speak.nor take visitors.but these one seems to be diferent.he is making these post look comon.we may soon av another mbaka and the catholic church

once Osinbajo leaves the seat, then DUTY behooves him to prostrate before the throne.

you wouldn't know what proper cultural ethics are even if they smacked you in the face repeatedly.

China has held on to their culture so also India, yet they are progressing scientifically and technologically.

so your attempt to pin lack of development on culture is lame.

but then I can't say the same for your culture that requires a widow to scrape her hair, sleep with the corpse of her husband and drink water used to wash his body just to prove she didn't kill him.

Please do so and let me know

I have confirmed with people who have direct access to the palace and they say that the father must prostrate in the palace and even remove his cap

However he cannot prostrate to him publicly

Reference:


Pally, take it from me. So called culture in sync with tribalism is one of the biggest impediments to the progress of this country. Even a three year old begins to realise that when his play group begins to segregate at the behest of 'caring' parents. God cursed the world by dividing tongues. Who are you to ignore it.

Did I say something different from all that you typed above?
No!!!
BTW, is Vacant Pastor (VP) Osinbajo the "head of the nation" or is it Buhari
Yet you engage your brain (hopefully you have one) to call someone else unintelligent, right?
What a bloody HYPOCRITE you are.

You must be a super witch cum wizard to know where I am from on this faceless forum, innit
Abeg, you fit share me the jazz wey you take dey sabi things like that? I sure can use it to con and SCAM our fellow citizens who are hyper-religious and look unto charlatans-in-cassock to tell them their past, present & future

asEdeyHOT:
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

That is IF you believe that God had ANYTHING to do with the Bible. There is ZERO PROOF that He did.

Your personal belief is a reflection of your imported religion, it has zero bearing on our history and culture.

Cherish and respect what's yours instead of other people's hand me down.


Japan is a great power today and never relinquished their Shinto religion for anybody...

MayorofLagos:


When you enter Vatican, the first call of respect is a prostration onvthe dais infront of Pope.

Is your bible different from Pope's Bible?
