According to a Palace Chief who spoke anonymously, the wives of the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the Olubuse II, by tradition cannot re- marry as its forbidden, they can only be inherited by the new Ooni. This order was prescribed by the Ife tradition since the Ooni is not considered dead but to have transited to a higher realm.
“The rule is general and applies to all Ooni that has passed on and not peculiar to the wives of Oba Sijuwade, the immediate past Ooni. There may not be a clearly defined repercussion against the tradition but it is advisable that the order is obeyed at all times and for all generations. The best that can happen to the Oloris left behind by any late Ooni is for them to remain single or be inherited by the reigning Ooni. Whether the
wives are young or old does not matter, what matters is that the tradition must be sustained in the overall interest of the society.” the source said
Na them sabi
ReplyDeleteThe women know that one before or after them marry the Ooni so its no news to them.

ReplyDeleteOf course na, that's how it was and will always be. Whenever I see the pictures of Oba Alafin of Oyo and his very young wives I just shoke my head, those ladies really doesn't know what they are in for.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Is there any part of the African tradition that favours women? He old man is dead for goodness sakes!!

ReplyDeleteSenseless people.
Stupid custom.
Like igbos don't av custom and tradition... Idiot and senselss person like u typing rubbish... Won't insult igbos cos dey re not as foolish as u re..
DeleteHe/She may not be igbo
DeleteI'm sorry to say but you are a very foolish person! @Nifem,i So anyone who is not yoruba is Igbo.My dear there are other tribes in Nigeria like the Orobos, the calabaris from rivers state, Calabar people, hausa people,anybody could be money maker, u re acting like u are not a tribalistic but you very much are. May God help you reduce your hate for your fellow man.There are no bad tribes,there are only bad people!
DeleteStupid tradition
ReplyDelete#*karlishah*
So they now inherite wives in Nigeria,i hope the new ooni will also inherite the children and their responsibilities
ReplyDeleteThis is absolute nonsense
ReplyDeleteI guess they knew the consequences beforehand. It isn't new. At least, we watch it in epic movies
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteOut dated tradition! I will like to see who will enforce it in today's world.
The Oni was conjugating with these beautiful dames and now that he is gone they have to be in bondage. I thought Human slavery was a thing of the past in Nigeria!
ReplyDeleteWomen wake up and make sure you never marry an Oni because of the wealth and then when he dies you are in limbo, that way the new Oni will only be saddled with his exiting wives.

ReplyDeleteAbsolute rubbish. Culture, that I know, must be dynamic. It's only in Nigeria that culture is Static and never changes. Imagine tying down people's lives and dreams on account of culture.
ReplyDeleteAfter human beings and esp. Africans go dey insult God of Israel...
DeleteIf the tradition banned them from re-marrying, can they have boyfriends/lovers.
ReplyDeleteIn sickness and in health, even death cannot do us apart...
ReplyDeleteSeriously ... that's what they sign for and moreover they are not that young.
ReplyDeleteNo p,is the part they choose for theirselves,am Sure they knw about their tradition before now.

ReplyDeleteThat vuvuzela P guy
rubbish. meanwhile, what will they even be re-marrying for. they have their kids to take good care of and not to be inherited by one of their child
ReplyDeleteIf the throne is going to be taken over by his son nko? will he marry his mama and his step mummies?

ReplyDeleteBut they can fuck as many men as they want, don't be deceived.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm. Traditions dat takes us no where and... Am shock we still hav tins lik dis in existence where christianity is superior than all.
ReplyDeleteNonsense talk..!!! I will marry if am one of them. No be me kill Ooni. Body no be firewood
ReplyDeletetraditional to the core.
ReplyDeleteMore women's oppression out of Nigeria. Am I reading about cattle here or human beings?Inherited by the new Ooni? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThey just put their selves in trouble
ReplyDeleteCan they have affairs outside if they want?
ReplyDeleteThis is no news and there's no need to be sensational about it. This applies to all Obas in yoruba land not peculiar to ooni alone. It's a yoruba culture. Besides why would these old women want to marry again. They are probably in their menopause.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unbelievable load of rubbish. That in 2015 a woman can not decide what she will do. No one ever saw their god and no god ever said a woman can not remarry, the stupid man was the one in the wrong marrying so many.
ReplyDelete-my view-
Some traditions are still archaic. Na wa o.
ReplyDelete#TeamBlessed#
Nawa For this tradition . It's well
ReplyDeleteBad market but they can cure conji abi?!
ReplyDeleteHmmm I pity them.but if it were them that died nko?
ReplyDeleteThe case with d prpht of islam,no one can marry d wives after his demise.
ReplyDeleteNo problems but they will sleep with men outside sha abi? Am sure they did that before cos he can't sustain all of them except he was on drugs
ReplyDeleteIssoryt
ReplyDeleteYou know yoruba women cheat a lot. So that's just a funny gist that they shouldn't marry. I don't think they need to
ReplyDeleteSince they already sleep with other men
Eeya so that his young wife will not remarry unless the new oba inherit her nawa o!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of tradition is dat? Assuming tws one of †ђξ wives that died, the Ooni would have taken another woman, why are they treating as if they are worthless??

ReplyDeleteIf the new ooni is young, the women will only serve as advisers to him. Inheriting them does not mean they will copulate. According to history.
ReplyDeleteInheriting them doesn't mean they will copulate with the new ooni, they will only serve as advisers to the new ooni If young.
