Heritage Fact
In Yoruba culture, "Oni" also refers to the Ooni of Ife, a paramount traditional ruler in southwestern Nigeria, much like a king in other cultures. Revered as a significant cultural and historical figure, the Ooni holds a position of high esteem among the Yoruba people. While Yoruba traditions include ancestral reverence, the Ooni's role can be understood as a central figure in their cultural heritage and social structure.
