The Making Of Ooni: Royal Ife Families At War Over Ooni’s Successor

As the battle for the next Ooni of Ife gathers momentum, the Osinkola Ruling House on Wednesday disagreed with the Giesi and Ogboru Ruling Houses on whose turn it is to fill the vacant stool.

Prince Olakunle Aderemi, the leader of the Osinkola Ruling House, argued that the race to fill the Ooni vacant stool was open to contest for the four ruling houses in Ile Ife.

Although the Osinkola family produced the late Oba Adesoji Aderemi, who ruled before Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the Prince said Osinkola deserved to produce the successor of Oba Sijuwade because the family produced the least number of the Ooni among the four ruling houses, having produced only four while the Lafogido, Ogboru and Giesi had produced eight, five and five respectively. The secretary of the family, Prince Bade Adeyemo, said six contestants had shown interest from the ruling house.
