ABUJA- FORMER registrar of National Business
for Technical Education Board, NABTEB and Pro-
Chancellor, Governing Council, Igbinedion
University, Okada, Professor Olu Aina disclosed
yesterday that the late Ooni Oba Sijuwade
Olubuse (II) fought the south-west before his
death.
Professor Aina said he was privilege to hold a
private meeting with the Ooni some few days
before he died, said that the late Ooni had
canvassed support of the South West zone for
President Muhammadu Buhari in his desire to re-
invent Nigeria, adding that he described President
Buhari as a man “God specifically brought as a
Messiah to re-start Nigeria.
Prof. Aina, a Chief from the source in Ile-Ife,
disclosed this in an audience he had with some
Ife Kingmakers and Chiefs weekend, as
preparations for installation of the next Ooni
begins to generate attention, appealed to
Kingmakers not to falter in their judgment on who
becomes the next Ooni.
Professor Aina at the meeting called for great
wisdom from the Ife Kingmakers on the need to
support a candidate who will continue from where
Oba Sijuwade stopped and advance the
development of Ife, the Yorubaland and Nigeria in
general, counting on the powerful and influential
stool of the Ooni to do so.
He told the Kingmakers that the Ooni in deep
reflection expressed a desire to ensure an end to
the marginalization of the south west and
believed strongly that the zone should accord the
present government strong support while playing
very key role in ensuring the progress of Nigeria.
He said, “Permit me to share an intimate moment
I had with the Ooni a few days before he passed
on. On the 9th of July 2015, baba called me and
instructed that I should see him urgently. He even
rebuffed my attempts to shift the date he set for
the meeting which he made compelling. I
struggled hard with my very tight schedule to see
the Ooni.
“Surprisingly, our discussions centered on state of
the nation. He told me bluntly that Nigeria should
be grateful for having Muhammadu Buhari as
President. He talked at length on his worries
about Nigeria and the reign of impunity in high
places as well as the general breakdown of
security across the federation.
“He expressed concerns about the dilemmas of
the Nigerian youths and the rate of unemployment
in Nigeria. At a point, he heaved a heavy sigh and
said that God specifically brought President
Buhari as a Messiah to save Nigeria!
“The Ooni that I knew was never given to talking
in vacuum. His reflections were usually sharp on
issues. His reeled in deep thoughts, thus making
predictions that always turned into clinical reality,
mostly on local and national politics.
“He, indeed, expressed conviction in the political
change in Nigeria and the capacity present
government to rebuild the country. I recalled also
that he talked extensively on the potentials of the
Yoruba to assist in the stability of Nigeria given
the mindset of the people and their positive
disposition to the national cause.
“He prayed that the south-west with their
contributions to the success of the 2015
presidential election will leverage on that to
return to the center and assist in consolidating
governance particularly for the emergence of a
new Nigeria.
“Although, I had wondered the reasons behind the
emphasis the Ooni made on support for the new
government, yet, I was not shocked because all
along, I knew he has been expressing tremendous
respect for the President, touching on integrity
and his no-nonsense posturing. He had shared
his thought on this with some of us his close
children long before the last Presidential election”
Prof. Aina who advised them to reflect on the
wish by Oba Sijuwade for the south-west to take
a leadership position in a bid by the government
to revive Nigeria by electing a new Oba with
capacity to do so, said, “We will trust in your
capacity, good judgment and ability to look for a
successor with deep vision, experience, candour,
exposure and natural disposition to unite Ife and
its neighbouring nations. Ife needs an Ooni with
strong leadership spirit to unite the Yorubaland
while making the south-west to sustain its
enviable contributions to the progress and
development of Nigeria.
“The late ooni, was noted for his ability to break
the barriers of phobia in his style of leadership.
He was affable, amenable, open, friendly with
people from far and near and well versed in
foreign relations. He was a Yoruba leader
personified. These are the virtues we should look
for in the next Ooni”

read from the topic jare!!

Na wao oooo.
ALL LEADERS IN NAIJA ARE NOW MESSIAHS ABI. NIGERIANS AND SYCOPHANCY.

We thought obasanjo was messiah but turned out to be just another military general. Buhari might be just another military general.

Of course at present he is not a messiah, let him perform first. He may also not perform very well.
