Obalufon Ogbogbodirin was the 4th Ooni of Ife, a paramount traditional ruler of Ile Ife, the ancestral home of the Yorubas. He succeeded Ooni Ogun and was succeeded by his son, Ooni Obalufon Alayemore.[1] He lived for over 500 years, and after reigning for centuries, he was transformed into a deity.
