Oni Was A Chief Priest by valirex: 7:07am On Dec 15, 2020 |
Oni was the chief priest of Ifa from the beginning before Awolowo changed Ooni priesthood into kingship. The ultimate king of Yoruba is Alaffi of Oyo. The same position of Ooni was the position of Ogiefa of Benin, Ogiefa was the diviners and priest of Efa as Onni is priest of Ifa. Benin call it Efa, Urhobo call it Efa, Igbo call it Afa too, Yoruba call it Ifa. #Photospeak. TAO11 Oya come and start wailing Etrusen samuk AreaFada2 gregyboy Etinosa1234 4 Likes 2 Shares

valirex:You know that to cover one lie, you must tell more damning lies. They have been telling more lies to prop up elevation of Ooni since. An Oyo lady first confirmed this to me about 25 years ago. Of course everyone knows the man is primarily a priest. Alafin appoints Aare Ona Kankanfo, the Military General of Yorubaland. That is the Kankanfo that together with Iyase Ekpenede of Benin Empire, they shared Yorubaland at Otun-Ekiti. The boundary of Oyo and Benin empires. Oyo despite being a junior, shorter duration empire to Benin, we respected them because they did their best on the battle field until Afonja betrayed them to the Fulanis. 8 Likes |

valirex: The Benin people where actually known as Efa or Ifa people in time past by the Yoruba. Ooni was the chief priest in Ife that was practicing the version of Benin Iha divination which they called Ifa. The fact that the Ooni was a mere chief priest is very well known in Yoruba land. The Awujale of Ijebu said so himself. Yoruba historian Samuel Johnson in his , The history of Yoruba people, piblished in 1921. wrote that the Ooni was a mere shrine keeper. The Ooni was elevated to the status of an Oba in the 1930s. Prof. Biobaku has suggested that the eastern fringe of what is now Yorubaland was in pre-Yoruba days thinly inhabited by the ancestors of the modern Benin people, a people which he called the Efa. And if recent archaeological evidence would seem to indicate that Ife was built not before the first decade of the 16th century thereby making it to be younger than Benin, then the Oranmiyan tradition has been miscon-strued and the Benin version (The Oba of Benin's version,), not Egharervba's version, becomes more tenable. 8 Likes |

valirex:.. Ooni is a king and also a priest because he absorbs the role of oduduwa as a king and and also the custodian of culture, rituals and traditions, that is why pre- colonial period Obas of Benin accorded much respect to the house of oduduwa, informing ife about all religious and political decisions and seeking permission to take some actions .. . so the Op is partially but not totally right 2 Likes |
