I think there are some powers the Kings possess that make anyone that encountered them scared, I heard one can hardly look them in the eyes. |

anonimi: 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. 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. 5 Likes |

Ioannes: 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. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3043813_img20151031182934_jpeg9e20f9096dfc108761ed3160bd879f5f 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. 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 ![]() ![]() |

emzila: From my understanding , it is an abomination for the father to prostrate to his son publicly but whenever the father comes into that palace , he must prostrate before the Ooni. |
Re: Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Ooni Of Ife! by asEdeyHOT: 10:44am On Feb 06, 2016 |
Burger01: 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 |

anonimi: 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 1 Like |

africanusvu: bros you are wrong. the formal ooni do receive visitors everyday and this is normal given the importance of his post. the new ooni received this attention and coverage because of high level of tech now and hustling of bloggers to make money for themselves. this as not reduce the image of ooni but make it more popular. it is the era of new age bro 1 Like |

But Osun governor does not prostrate before Ooni and another Yoruba king. |

Ioannes: 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. |

Obasanjo did not remove his cap, his idobale is not valid. |

asEdeyHOT:From my understanding, any time the father will visit the son in the palace, the son would not sit on the 'aga' oba. It's only when the son sits on the 'aga' oba that everybody prostrate for him.. Me I don't know what obtains in the palace oh ![]() |

Reference: I agree with you. but not everything about culture is bad though. |
Re: Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Ooni Of Ife! by Nobody: 2:03pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
anonimi: you may not appreciate the fact that when I chastise you with words its because you can do better than spewing hate on this forum. so Osinbajo is not the head of this nation abi? now that Buhari is going on leave guess who they called to act in his stead. exactly! the vice-PRESIDENT. you may not know but they both share the office of the presidency. buhari is more powerful, but Osinbajo is still his deputy and the second citizen of this nation and not anonimi or whatever. call the VP names, it still remains a fact that he isn't a bitter, faceless moniker whose real impact on the people and economy of Nigeria is next to zero. so call him a vacant pastor, vacationing pastor or whatever name your mind digs up, he remains your leader. I know you must have skipped social studies or civic studies in school. it's OK. we can always educate each other. and I used the VP as an example because he is Yoruba. the president may not necessarily share our beliefs and culture. 2 Likes |

OBJ man of Tradition and Culture.He has made a statement and he will live long to see Nigeria through her difficulties successfully. This is what that Ibo slowpoke who called himself Igbo Oba at Akure should have done after removing his cap to the Deji of Akure. God bless Ooni. God bless OBJ. God bless the SW. God bless Nigeria. |

Rossikk: Don't be cynical. Take a close look at bible prophecies; Their prediction and fulfilment. Who cound so accurately predict world-impacting future events? Only the Almighty! Consider the fall of Babylon, for example. God said no one wonld ever inhabit babylon after her destruction(Isaiah13:20) What do we see today? In the site where babylon used to be, about 50 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq, there are just ruins. No one lives there till today. What does that tell you ![]() ![]() ![]() |

MayorofLagos: Actually, catholicism has been so tampered by ancient Roman Pagan doctrines that it is no longer pure. That was one of the major reasons for the reformation/ protestant movement. Plain Idolatry if u ask me. Case closed. |

grtfem: Honour here means ''respect'' and ''Obey''. Not ''bowing down in Obeisance''. Don't twist the scriptures. By the way, why did Jesus not bow before the devil? King Herod? Pontius Pilate? Why did the apostles not bow before the council? BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF GOD'S LAW. When the Prophet Daniel in awe,fell on his knees before the angel of the Lord, What did the angel Say? He asked Daniel not to bow before him, because he is not God. |

I am not surprise. I expect Obasanjo to understand the culture and tradition of Yoruba better. |
