Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Ooni Of Ife! by chichriso: 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. http://www.stelladimokokorkus.com/2016/02/stella-dimoko-korkus-exclusive-obasanjo.html 26 Likes 3 Shares

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. 160 Likes 8 Shares |

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 Kabiyesi, Ki Ade pelori, ki bata pelese.

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. 50 Likes 4 Shares |

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. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

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. 2 Likes |
