Ọọ̀ni of Ilé-Ifẹ̀ (Ooni of Ife )
In the start of Yoruba mythology, the universe was made out of two components, the ethereal sky above and a watery tumult beneath. Two divine beings manage over both these primordial domains.
Olokun manages this watery abyss, a sea- realm populated via ocean spirits. As expert of the deep, he has an incredible understanding into the puzzles of nature. He can see into the far off past and the far flung future, allowing him with a significant wisdom. He comprehends the mysteries of envisioning, contemplation, psychic capacity and healing. The individuals who venerate him frequently look for personal strengthening, with a specific end goal to make themselves better leader..
Oludumare eventually forgave his son, and gave Obatala the responsibility of creating the human race (which he brought into being via his breath of life). Oduduwa joined with the humans and begat a new bloodline of kings (the Yoruba called him Ooni of Ife, the progenitor of the Yoruba people).
Embodiment of the royal dynasty
Oduduwa is considered as the first of the contemporary dynasty of lords of Ife, a figure who sent his sons and daughters out with crowns to run over the greater part of the other Yoruba kingdoms, which is the reason all illustrious Yoruba genealogies claim ambilineal plunge from its line of leadership and, through it, from Oduduwa. This is additionally why the Ooni of Ife is viewed as first among equals (prevalently rendered in the Latin expression primus inter pares) when amongst his kindred Yoruba monarchs.
