The last time they met last year when Former President Obasanjo escorted Oba Adeyeye to Ife for his seclusion to becoming Ooni,it was the Ooni who went down on all fours in Salutation...Now the tables have turned and Obasanjo didnt disappoint as he paid a historic visit to the new Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II and he went down flat on the floor in Salutation...
It is shocking to note that despite being tagged 'Controversial' the former President respects the Yoruba tradition,irrespective of age.
Obasanjo went flat on the floor and prostrated for the Ooni Of Ife.
His Mission?
He went to pay solidarity visit to Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi,Ojaja II for his efforts in trying to unite the entire Yoruba Race.
The entire Ife kingdom was agog with News of his historic visit and the Former President's praises went up to the high heavens.
Hmmmm,So Almighty Obasanjo can prostrate publicly for the New Ooni of Ife?
Na wah,this is indeed a new one and i honestly applaud it.
Obasanjo the over dramatic old man,hahahahahahahaha.

A kin koba nibere, a kin koba ninoro, idobale lan ki oba.

Yoruba tradition for life!
Even the bible says " Give unto ceasar, what belongs to ceasar". Tradition at its peak. I'm sure i'll be star truck when I see Obj. I must take a pic that day.

Tradition IS tradition.
ReplyDeleteSHARONNA
What is happening lately, I see someone seeking for much attention lately.
ReplyDeleteOoni should be careful.
DeleteNa abomination in yoruba land to recieve prostration from your elders in age.
It may have diabolical jazz behind it
All are in the same Awo, Oni is the boss of all 'em.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmn..........nevertheless.......we all know this man called OBJ is unpredictable...........who knows what he is up to again this time...........Enough of all the drama abeg.........
ReplyDeleteIt's tradition. Tradition is tradition. Age doesn't change it, neither does previous status. Obasanjo is a yoruba man and he knows this
ReplyDeleteis alright.
ReplyDeleteThis is humility, tradition or not. Baba has made mistakes but he is 'special'.
ReplyDeleteThat's the tradition and he can't change it. He respects the authority bestowed on Oba Enitan so its not about who wears the crown, its about the authority he carries.
ReplyDeleteMaximum respect from Obj
ReplyDeleteThat is Yoruba tradition.
ReplyDeleteawwwhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteNice of him to respect culture.
ReplyDeleteBut this Ooni is fine sha.Blushing#
Obasanjo is a very wise man. I should make him my mentor.
ReplyDeleteThere is more to this o. This OBJ wants to be the leader of Yorubas. And you know Yorubas don't send him. It's all politics. The guy is an old fox. Everything is calculated. The fear of Bola Tinubu no be small. Conspiracy in yorubaland......hmmmmm. Leadership is God ordained. No mago mago.
ReplyDelete@yemi, your head dey there.
DeleteGod bless Baba for respecting Yoruba tradition, showing the young generations how to protect their culture and heritage because it must not perish.
ReplyDeleteBaba o.
That is how things changes
ReplyDeleteI guess he's just obeying tradition.
ReplyDeleteUnpredictable OBJ
ReplyDeleteThat man in the 7thpics looks like Obasanjo. He's shape of face n same BEAUTY.
ReplyDeleteOba whaaa?? Saloni ehhh, anya m afu nti m... nehii nehii... anyways, they look like Royalty... Its me Saloni.. catch me everyday on Zee World.. Namaste...
ReplyDeleteLol...Old Fox Aremu....prostrates right before he cuts your head off....did same thing to Jonathan right before he sent him one of his numerous 'infamous letters'....lol...the Ooni should expect one of his damming letter right before this month runs out
ReplyDeleteGood to know
ReplyDeleteMe I dont trust Baba Iyabo o. I'm sure he wants something from the Ooni. OBJ no dey kiss anybody ass for no reason

DeleteOri Ade a gbe yin Baba Obasanjo. E o ni dagba iya. Omode komode to ba ri yin fin, kururu bayi lawon omo to n bo leyin e ma fi wole.
ReplyDeleteOjaja II , all those who want to scuttle your efforts shall be scuttled themselves. Kaaabiesi o
What is the big deal in prostrating?
ReplyDeleteSo far I get what I want, I fit lie down for main road sef.
But he has to prostrate before the king nau, it's just normal
ReplyDeletekini a fi oba pe? Oba o, Oba la se, Oba... Iku baba yeye, ikeji osha...
ReplyDeleteAnon Feb 6, 18:07.....pls dont say what you dont know. The Ooni can NEVER prostrate to anyone again irrespective of the person's age but anyone who comes across him MUST prostrate to pay homage to him......THAT IS YORUBA CULTURE, so whatever abomination u're talking about does not imply to this scenario.
ReplyDeleteIf he still has a mum sef, his mum MUST not even call him by his name again(except its just two of them together in a place....likewise his wife), she will rather call him KABIYESI.
It is culture, it is tradition and Obasanjo sure understands that.
