The Beautiful Palace Of The Ooni Of Ife (Photos, Video) by travelwaka: 11:48am On Nov 11, 2020 |
Hello beautiful people, Since after the lock down was eased. I have been doing some wakawaka. So I found my way to Osun State. The place where the yoruba race started. As a lover of history, I decided to trace the story of these beautiful people. Osun State is located in South west and shares a border with Oyo, Ogun and Ondo State. Yoruba's believed that Oduduwa is the progenitor of the Yoruba race which makes it easy to trace their origin. This is a folklore that is shared by every Yoruba states. They believed Ile Ife was where everything started from. Ile Ife is an ancient city and it is believed to be the cradle of Yoruba civilisation. So on getting to Ife, I headed straight to the Palace of the Ooni of Ife and what I saw was really incredible. It can be rated as one of the most beautiful palaces in Nigeria. The palace has three courts, the Emese Court, the Council of Elders Court and the Supreme Court. The Emese Court is handled by the Emese who are a version of the British Royal Guards. They are in charge of simple matters , The council of elders handle some bigger issue while the Supreme Court is headed by the King Picture below is the Eruwa Square, it is located opposite the Ooni of Ife palace https://www.travelwaka.com/ile-oodua-the-beautiful-palace-of-the-ooni-of-ife/ Please kindly enjoy the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJjjJzdy-Pc 17 Likes 4 Shares

View of the Palace The door of the first hall is said to several hundred years old and it is still standing, it also has a burial ground for some of the Past Kings. Back in the days, No one knows where the Kings of Ife were buried. Because they were seen as gods. Over the years, due to civilization some of the old Kings are now buried in the Palace 8 Likes 2 Shares

The Oba of Ife is the top in Hierachi in Yorubaland. according to Legend. One of his sons known as Oranmiyan, was sent to Igodogogo (Now Benin KIngdom) , he conquered the Kingdom and He became the first King of Benin. According to history, he was having issues with the people of Benin because they didn't like his style of rulership. So he made his son Eweka the ruler and left Benin for good. On leaving Benin he settled at Oyo with his men, he became the first King of Oyo. He was a great warrior and he fought all through the South West all the way to Benin Republic , This is one of the reasons why Oyo Empire is so feared. Then after conquering all the major cities, he felt the need to go back home. He returned to Ile Ife with his army and he unseat the ruling King in a very peaceful manner. He told him he is back to take his fathers throne and he would appreciate if he moves elsewhere. LOL . The King had to move because Oranmiyan was a great warrior 34 Likes 6 Shares

Unfortunately, as at the time of the visit, the King was not around. It would have been a lovely experience to pay the King a visit and maybe share some amazing images from his Royal throne. 6 Likes |

"The Ooni of Ife, lives in his palace, at Ile-Ife -- the home of the Yoruba people..." Was taught this in Primary Two (or was it Three?) some two decades ago. Many years after I'm getting to see live pictures on Nairaland. I have a dream for Nigeria, of a truly advanced nation where pupils learn in AI-enabled classrooms replete with modern gadgets and accessories that'll make a deeper impression for learning than mere words would. I know of childhood colleagues who are dropouts today, and doing very badly. Who dropped out because the learning process was both rigorous and confusing. Who could have been far better today had they been instructed with audiovisual aids that provided more vivid impressions. Even those of us who came out tops, na luck, grace and wholesale memorisation help us scale through some obstacles. I love African Art and I'm impressed with the few I've seen here. Viva Africa! We go make am! 10 Likes 1 Share |
