OBJ did this purposely to send messages to the vagabonds and rascals who may want to abuse the youthfullness and hospitality of Oonirisa. Some APC people especially governors and Tinubu. The Yoruba citizens must come and postrate to the Ooni rather than him going to see them or they are standing when Ooni arrive or depart. Yoruba's have one home whatever their town and it is ILE-IFE. That's why Ooni is called Arole Odua. 5 Likes 1 Share |

It is easy for obasanjo or any older persons to prostrate for ooni because by Yoruba tradition, it is deemed that you are prostrating to the throne which is higher than everyone else, not the person of the oba. Obasanjo was in Ife in private capacity. If he had been a sitting official of state, it will be odd to expect him to prostrate publicly. The modern democratic equivalent at national level is the bowing before the mace in the legislative houses. Presidents do that. Clinton did that when he came to our National Assembly. It is deemed they are bowing to the sovereignty of the people. For the guy quoting the bible verse that forbids bowing before kings. Really? Go to YouTube and watch the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1952. Right inside the church there, the bishops, nobles and princes queued up to bow, kneel and kiss the hand of the seating queen who was just 26 years old then. The oyinbos brought the bible and the religion to you. 1 Like |

demo4ril97: If I told you this was a sign of our backwardness, would you believe? If I told you these people are in the way of Nigerian integration as one nation, would you believe? I won't even try. It requires a lot more preparatory knowledge to even have an idea. We think this monarchy is our own thing, unique to Africans. Lol. I laugh. Down with backwardness. Up with Republicanism. Up with societal progress. An adult can't keep eating from a feeding bottle simply because he used to do it some time ago! 2 Likes 1 Share |

engrjacuzzi: 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.
