The oro deity.

Ooni of ife died a few days ago, leaving the throne unoccupied... for the meantime. now i know that if we were to talk about a tribe in Nigeria that embraces their culture and traditions like a child embraces his mother on the first day of Kindergarten, it should be the Yorubas. These people were the first in Nigeria to have direct  contact with civilization, they have the most educated individuals, they produce the country's intelligentsia on a regular and they have also embraced  civility. This doesnt stop the Osun Osogbo festival, or the Orisha... and it {as we might have seen recently} doesnt stop the Ooni from being buried the Yoruba way. Now am not Yoruba and except Lagos, i know only very little about Yoruba Lands. The oro is a cult that didnt start existing in Yoruba, it started a long time ago in Tahiti....GOOGLE IT. And since am not Yoruba, i hardly know a thing about it. i am sure the Yoruba ones that are not directly involved in the cult hardly know a thing about it. why?.Because a cult isn't child play over there. Your anxiety and curiosity has limits to reach and stop.The yorubas don't make their gods worthless by releasing every sacred detail to the world so the people will tweet it. As far as spilling blood isnt involved in the oro rites, i believe it should be something for other traditions to emulate. Meanw

hile we pray that the Ooni's spirit travelsto the ancestors in peace.
