The new Ooni of ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi,Ojaja II has made history.....
History was made on Sunday January 17,2016 when he arrived Oyo town in His Bentley and entourage to visit the Alaafin,the first visit of an Ooni since 1937.
The late Ooni Sijuwade and Oba Adeyemi were embroiled in supremacy battle.
The Methodist Church, Apaara, venue of the 45th coronation anniversary thanksgiving of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, became electrified immediately news filtered in that the Ooni's convoy had reached Owode, followed by many other Obas.
Decked in his white trademark attire, Oba Ogunwusi shook hands with the Alaafin,sat near him and they both beamed with smiles all through...

An elated Oba Adeyemi, who had earlier read from the Bible, said the last time an Ooni visited the Alaafin was in 1937, adding that he was very close to many Obas in Yorubaland and beyond. Revealing how close he was to Ooni Adesoji Aderemi, he said he never disrespected him but prayed for his longevity on the throne.
He looked at the new Ooni eyeball to eyeball and said “The misunderstanding started during the reign of the last Ooni. May your reign be long, Ooni''.
And then he said ''I am happy with Ooni Ogunwusi’s moves to unite all Yoruba Obas,” .
Oba Ogunwusi described Alaafin as a great monarch, noting that “it is a new dawn for all Yoruba sons and daughters around the globe,” He ended his speech with the song ‘Ore l’ao mase…Awa o ba ti ja wa ooo, Ore l’ao ma sem” (We will continue to be friends).”
Present at the historic event were over 30 Obas including the Timi of Ede, Owa Ajero of Ijero, Ore of Otun Ekiti, Orangun of Ila, Akinrun of Ikirun, Aragbiji of Iragbiji and Elerin of Erin Osun.
The last time Senior Obas in yoruba land sat down together at all was in I937 and this picture is a flash back...

ReplyDeleteWe need more leaders in our national and not old worned out and recycled old men.

ReplyDeleteYoruba people are peaceful people but others take their peacefulness for weakness. I pity those people because they will never know peace.
ReplyDeleteWho are the others that aren't peaceful? #Uchu
DeleteThis really good of the ooni, this is what true leadership is all about.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when a vibrant young man is placed in a leadership position, all you see is Change , development, peace and harmony. The aged want to carry on with traditions even the ones that are of no benefit just so it will be said he continued with the actions of his ancestors but young people want a name for themselves and that is what Oba Enitan has done. Looooooooooog live the King Kabiese in good health of mind and body amen. @saynotoagedleaders.#

ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more than having peace all around
