A popular Ifa priest
identified as , Yemi Elebuibon, has urged the Ooni’s ex-queen, Olori
Wuraola to undergo necessary traditional
cleansing process to to regain normal life.
According to the Ifa Priest the breakup between the Ooni and
his wife is not very common among Yoruba
Obas, said; ‘The wife of the Oba will be asked to consult Ifa and Ifa will give
directions on how she will make the necessary atonement for her cleansing.
In Yoruba tradition, a woman who has been married to a king
cannot lay with any other man even if the marriage breaks up. But when the
right atonements have been made, there won’t be problem’.
He also talked about the problems the Ooni’s ex-wife might
encounter if she refuses to undergo the traditional cleansing rites;
‘For the woman, she might not really have a problem but for
any man who sleeps with a queen or marries an ex-queen without the appropriate
cleansing, the man may die prematurely, he may be struck with sickness or there
might be retrogression in his life’.
He further said that if an ex-queen wants to remarry, she
will have to do the cleansing with her new husband. “Any marriage she would be
going into must not be elaborate. They should go far away and avoid any
flamboyant wedding,” Elebuibon added.
What could happen to the person that will effect the cleansing?
Sincere question.
