He insists that observation of the sacred rites before installation and burial of Yoruba royal fathers are part of what earned the monarchs due respect.
Wondering the pace at which the core Yoruba tradition was going into extinction, Adams said: “Our traditional rulers are the custodians of Yoruba culture. The rites are also part of our treasured tradition. Once you remove the rites from the Yoruba traditional institution, the whole essence of the tradition is lost and the institution is empty.
According to him, there are records that the relegation of the global empire affected Europe, and the entire continent lost the respect that comes with the monarchical system.“The traditional rites for installing or burying a Yoruba monarch is beyond the family of the monarch; it is purely a community’s affair. Therefore, I am appealing to all our royal fathers to stay away from actions that tend to destroy Yoruba culture and tradition.
