SOURCES close to the palace, have allayed fears that rites of passage for the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, would involve human sacrifice.
They took exception to the view describing it as a rumour aimed at tarnishing the customs and traditions of Ile-Ife, regarded as the cradle of the Yoruba race.
There had been anxiety among residents of the town, particularly some students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, that burial rites of the monarch might involve some form of bloodshed.

The sources urged indigenes and residents of Ife not to entertain fear or panic but go about their lawful business, and do nothing to contravene customs and traditions of the town.
The Oro festival declared by traditional rulers in the town, and which began yesterday, is still in force.

This is a nice post from @macof.

Punch, and some newspapers behaved
irresponsibly by publishing fake insider
news allegedly from the Ife Palace despite
the fact that according to centuries of
traditition, it is ONLY the High Chiefs
that can finally say officially that any
king from Yorubaland has translated.

What is so difficult in that? The irresponsible
article of today 6th August 2015 by dailypost
newspaper speculating about the alleged
location of the Ife monarch should't have
made the front page of Nairaland.


In the UK, Japan, and elsewhere, the monarchies
are highly revered and highly traditional
so deluded people should desist from
peddling criminal and libelous rumors on
in the print media like dailypost, Punch,
the Sun, and on the Internet. Punch has a
bunch of young and mentally lazy journalists who do not carry proper
investigations, and lift information from
non-credible sources. The Aboderins
own Punch and as a family of SW ancestry
should not be seen to be desecrating
culture via their publication.

Just on Tuesday, Channels TV debunked the
false article in Punch stating that one
of their camera men in the East was arrested.

Wale Aboderin should weed out any mentally
lazy journalist in Punch for publishing
irritating speculations and sensationalism!
