It is still unbelievable that we are saying farewell to King Oyo. As someone from the same generation, he was a peer in terms of age and I have seen him all my life. From writing his name in exams to visiting his palace, he will forever be a core memory of my life. He was the face of Tooro kingdom and its going to be hard to visualize Tooro without thinking of him first. As he is finally laid to rest, I pray that the King of Kings receives him well and comforts the royal family and entire kingdom. Rest in eternal peace, your majesty
RIP a king of my generation.
We condole with Tooro Kingdom and the Royal family at large. May King's soul Rest in Peace. At Nova Cloud Edges, we are sad with his demise.
My deepest condolences to the Batooro people, the late king Mother and the Sister, and the royal family on the tragic passing of King Oyo. May his soul rest in peace. Having lived in Uganda for ten years before moving to New York, I remember King Oyo as a remarkably quiet, peaceful, and discreet young leader. As a Bahunde prince who sought asylum in Uganda, I chose a low profile during that challenging chapter, though it was always my intention to meet him. Kingdoms navigate natural tides; power inevitably attracts friends and enemies, only the monarch could know better. I firmly advise the Babiito clan to strictly honor the King’s legacy and will. Do not establish dangerous precedents by attempting to elect a king; doing so invites unbearable chaos now and forwards. Customs, traditions, and cultures may be distinct wording but must be strictly upheld. Remain united and honorable during this time. King Oyo is not gone; he merely sleeps. Laira T.
