Ooni Meets New Born Son After 21 Day Rites

Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Tuesday, formally his new born son, Prince Tadenikawo, and his wife, Olori Shilekunola Naomi into the palace after 21-day rites.

It was the first time that the Ooni would set eyes on the son following the traditional rites expected of a new born child of the reigning monarch of Ife.

Palace spokesman, Moses Olafare in a statement narrated how the Olori and the new born prince were received.

According to the statement, after the pair entered the palace they stopped at Ile Nla, where they were met by friends and relatives before they moved on to Emese’s court, where the new born prince was handed over to the Ooni.

“Ooni came out through the sacred ILE IGBO in accordance to the full culture and traditions of Ile-Ife as always observed whenever the reigning Ooni receives his newly born Prince into the palace after the necessary rites of 21 days.

“After receiving his son, Ooni accompanied by relevant spiritual aides swiftly took him straight into the inner chamber of ILE IGBO for the necessary spiritual confirmation as demanded by traditions.

“The monarch later came out from ILE IGBO with smiles and majestic dance steps welcomed by thunderous shouts “Kabiyesi ooooo!” “Kabiyesi oooooo!” from the waiting crowd who watched with excitements and jubilations as Ooni handed over the Prince to his elated mother who danced with the baby in her hands to her apartment at the palace.”
