abdulkayus:Guy, its the truth, all my Yoruba friends open their mouths way too wide when they talk and they have a thing for soups that clearly look like palm oil with bad taste. I have lived in Osun State for a year during NYSC, and Yorubas have the worst kind of soup I have ever tasted. Its the bitter truth. How can you fuccking bury someone with the dead. It is animal abuse. We are all animals, arent we ? 6 Likes |

[quote author=zimoni post=36955364]I saw this on Grandson Soyemi's fb wall and decided to share. Let me set the record straight...in this age of information, ignorance is a choice. I have watched the show of vacuity as it is been displayed by some of the online gurus (mediocre) in the recent time about the Abobaku saga. It is ignoramus to jump into the pool you have not delved before. Let me set the record straight... Abobaku is a traditional practice in the ancient Yoruba Empire. Abobaku system is peculiar to the Ancient Oyo-Yoruba Empire. It is not heinous as some people take it to be, rather it is a matter of choice, people compete to occupy the position of Abobaku just as other positions because while the king is alive, the Abobaku enjoys de facto power and he shares in the glory of His Royal Highness. In the Ancient Oyo-Yoruba Empire, it was constitutional for Aremo to be Abobaku, he is to be buried with his father. After the Owu War in 1827, there came the creation of Ibadan and Ijaye in 1829 and 1830 respectively. Ogunmola headed Ibadan as Kurunmi who later became Are Ona Kakanfo became the leader of Ijaye. Alaafin Atiba succeeded Alaafin Oluewu in 1837, but at the demise of Alaafin Atiba in 1859, Adelu who was Aremo and supposed to be Abobaku (someone that dies with king) refused to die with the king and wanted to succeed his father. And because of the benefits Ibadan enjoyed under Alaafin Atiba, they wanted continuity by supporting Aremo Adelu to become Alaafin against the tradition. On the contrary, Ijaye did not want the continuity and wanted to protect the culture of the kingship, there started a war of superiority between Ibadan's combatants and Ijaye's warriors in which Ibadan came out victorious and Aremo Adelu became Alaafin Adelu in 1859. This was how the doctrine of Abobaku ended in Oyo-Yoruba Empire. Ife has never practiced the tradition of Abobaku before and no one can point to anywhere in Yorubaland today where the tradition is under vogue. Abobaku is a system in the past and it has gone with the past. It is vicious and malicious to peddle what you know nothing about to score a mere rhetoric point. We are proud of our @OP, apart from the Abobaku, can u confirm that their king is buried with no human head or life involved...why the curfew?..why the chiefs denying the oba death even when the hospital in London confirmed the man was dead?? 1 Like |

funkybully: There really is nothing new about the Oro curfew. Even in a city as metropolitan as Lagos, its still being practiced regularly e.g Ikorodu. The last Ooni Oba Adesoji Aderemi's burial site is still not known by anybody. No one will know when Ooni Sijuwade will be buried and definitely no one will know his burial site. It's highly secretive, and its their tradition. The only thing anyone will probably hear about this ish is that a new Ooni is being enthroned. Kings in Yorubaland are supposed to be gods, who don't die, so how can you bury someone that's not dead? He has only "waja"- gone on a journey. I personally don't believe anyone is going to be buried with any dead king, but we are still very traditional people in Naija. Toneach is own provided no one's getting hurt. 2 Likes |

eyinjuege: But there are oba tombs in pictures, How come the tombs Later resurface if burial sites are unknown For d fact that all obas are ogbonis have proved d sacrifice thing. I have witnessed an agboni man burial. They entered where the man was lieing in state, asked everybody to leave including d wife of d man, they locked d door n do their ritual stuff. Heard his heart was taken. U can't rule out d possibility of burying obas with heads since d last rites are done in secrete by chiefs Who must have swore oaths to keep d secrete. No rumour without origin. No smoke without fire. 4 Likes |

But the Yoruba traditions are way too silly and cantankerous. You and I know this truth. We must call it out and shun it. This is 21st century.
