Let’s tell you a little about this seat. They are reserved for Ooni even when he is not in the Palace, guests are not allowed to sit on it. It is a symbol of respect to the Ooni Osa. Permit us to tell you that all the chairs and dining at the mini sitting room is all made locally.

Another thing that will strike you when you visit Paraku Mansion of Ooni is the Amese. They serve as intermediaries between Ooni Osa and guests.


Tradition doesn’t permit Ooni to speak directly to guests. So he speaks in low tone while Amese, who sits at the feet of the Ooni says Oba n, Kio!.” He also relays guests information to the Ooni.

The Paraki mansion of the Ooni is a community on its own. Since Oba Adeyeye was announced, lots of indigenes have besieged his house to express their loyalty and solidarity.
