#Revealed: The lineage to produce next Ooni of Ife

Following the demise of Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the Agiesi family is the next to produce the Ooni of Ife. The 4 ruling houses in Ife are Lafogido, Agiesi, Ogboru and Osinkola. Oba Sijuwade hailed from the Ogboru ruling house. Speaking on Sijuwade’s successor, Soko Adebisi Adedigba(Secretary of the Agiesi ruling house) said since the kingship is rotational, it is the turn of Agiesi to produce the next monarch. He however said this will not be done until the Ifa Oracle is consulted. According to him, “Ife has lost a very great king. We pray that we will get somebody of his personality to succeed him. Oba Sijuwade was born to reign. He was a very great custodian of Yoruba culture and he was recognised worldwide.”
