Olu Of Warri: The oracle Told The Family Oyowoli Will Die Within A Short Time If They Choose Him – Chief Mene

 

Following the death of the Ogiame Ikenwoli, the coronation of a new Olu of Warri has been fraught with controversies and misunderstandings.

The new designate of Olu of Warri, Prince Tsola has been crowned as the new Olu of Warri but the decision has been fought by a lot of royals from the royal family.

In an interview with Arise TV, the Ogwaolusan of Warri Kingdom, Chief Brown Mene, divulged that the royal family contacted an oracle during the selection process for the next Olu of Warri and they were informed  Prince Tsola will die within a short period if he ascends the throne but the family has gone ahead.

He said: ”The screening to be done is not by an individual. Not by a single chief in seclusion from others. The screening has to be done by the Olu Advisory Council and it will be in the presence of the representatives of the families as well as other nobles who would be there as observers. So it will be done in public. 

The last aspect of the screening includes the oracle which is also done in such a way that you remove the need or room for any manipulation because it is known that sometimes it could be manipulated.

So, first you have more than one oracle priests. The family will present theirs, the chiefs will present theirs and others who may want to will present theirs, and the situation is that you have three separate Oracle priests, all ready to entertain and pose the same question to the spirits of ancestors and it is most unlikely that all three will in full view of all who are observing say things that are contradictory and therefore, that would preclude any possibility of there being a manipulation.

This is what was done for Tsola Emiko. It was done in public, not in privacy. They should have told us when was it that the man they have now put forward went through the oracles? And can they really in all honesty say that this man was not previously presented by the family and the oracle told them point blank that if they will take Oyowoli, Oyowoli will die within a short time. They told them so. That was the reason why they put Oyowoli aside.

Everybody knows this. Ayiri himself knows this but they are lying to the whole world. Why would they do this if there isn’t some peculiar interest, inteersts that are not noble, interests that are no longer altristic, interests that are no longer constructive and nation building”
