Inside Details Of Ife Chiefs Attempt To Protect Tradition Regarding Announcement Of Journey Of No Return Of The Oonirisa, Oba Okunade Sijuade

The Oonirisa, Oba Okunade Sijuade is not dead…and this is very correct in the eyes of tradition.

It is only the Royal Traditional Council that can confirm the passage or not of the man who sits on the throne that befits the gods.

And this development only comes to be after certain ‘rites’ are carried out.

And this is especially so against the background of the special and unique position that the stool of the Oonirisa occupies in the history of the Yoruba race.

Ile Ife is defined as the source, the point of origin.

According to findings ‘the door is opened twice in the life of the sitter on the throne…when he assumes the throne and when he departs….the first time to bring in his ‘belongings’ into the palace, and the second to take them out when he departs

‘and it is only after it is opened for the second time that the Royal Council make official announcement passage to the great beyond, and this is after the necessary ceremonies in and out of the palace…that door is yet to be opened for the second for Olubuse 11 and so he is alive, whatever anybody says’ societynowng.com learnt.

Additional digs revealed while the Ife Chiefs are striving to make the world observe culture and tradition as regards the passage of the revered monarch with this and that strategy…stakeholders outside the traditional community are quietly make preparations to play required role once ‘necessities’ as dictated by the Traditional Council are done with.
