Her Majesty the Queen of England, Elizabeth Alexandra; President Muhammadu Buhari; Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN); and governors from at least 20 states, ministers and other dignitaries are expected to attend the coronation of the new Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II.

The Chairman, Media Committee of the coronation, Mr. Biyi Odunlade, said this at a press conference that started a series of activities lined up for the coronation scheduled to hold on December 7.



Odunlade, however, explained that the queen might be represented at the ceremony. He added that guests from many nations of the world had been invited for the ceremony.

The Ooni also said he was ready to fast-track the development of Ife with a series of policies, which he said, would make the Yoruba people proud anywhere they found themselves.

The monarch, who was represented at the press conference by his elder brother, Prince Adegboyega Ogunwusi, said he would do everything possible to address the problem of youth unemployment in the town.

Ogunwusi, who donated 50 transformers to some communities in Ife before he emerged as the new Ooni, said he would donate additional 50 transformers within the next 30 days to boost electricity supply in the ancient town.

He noted that this gesture would make small scale businesses in the town to thrive because power problem would have been reduced.

He said, “Let me acquaint you with what I have done in less than 70 days. I have given out over 20 electricity transformers worth about N250m.

“I donated 50 transformers when I was a prince. I will buy another 50 transformers within the next 30 days to further enhance electricity distribution. With this, small scale businesses of welders, tailors and others will naturally witness improvement.

“Providentially, I know the core investor and the Chairman, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, Mr. Tunde Ayeni, personally and very well. I have engaged him and his team to make this a reality and work has commenced in earnest. We will witness this transformation by the very special grace of God.”

“To revamp the stadium, I have already opened discussion with the Osun State Government on this. I will set up a football academy and we will have 16 clubs in Ife.”

The new monarch also promised to establish a football academy.

While the press conference was going on, the new Ooni and other guests were at an inter-religious service held at Enuwa Square.

One of the religious leaders, who spoke at the service, Apostle Joshua Fagbule, urged the people of Ife to rally round Ogunwusi in order for him to bring about meaningful development to the town.

QUEEEN KO.....QUEEEN NI.....

Not exactly the queen herself but she will probably send an official delegate. They have strong historical ties.

The new ooni appears to be highly infrastructure development centric

“To revamp the stadium, I have already opened discussion with the Osun State Government on this. I will set up a football academy and we will have 16 clubs in Ife.”

16 football clubs in Ife?


Well, I wish him a prosperous reign!

Though, am not talking ill of the dead king.....while the former king was busy collecting from all and sundry without doing any tangible thing for the people of Ile-ife and it's environ, this present king is busy giving out and planning to ensure Ile ife conform to 21st century standard

What's the essence of having a king who always fly out of the country whenever cultists started killing themselves in his town(Awujale of Ijebuland)

Most Yoruba kings are now politicians...they either belong to the APC or PDP, looking for contracts with their beaded crown all over Abuja and Lagos

They have made some of us who wanted to be king in future lose interest in the title....lol...even though na second class Oba

All the transformer donation na initial gra-gra . The Ooni go soon calm down and everything would be back to business as usual. He would eventually realise that it's not the job of a traditional ruler to take on the responsibilities of government. Traditional titles are ceremonial.

APC also influenced the selection of the new Ooni just as Awolowo influenced the selection of the former King, so whichever way you look at it, the political parties still have strong hold over traditional titles.

Awujale might not be partisan, but he doesn't care if the whole Ijebu Ode burns...whenever those motherfucker called cultists started their wahala, the king will just take the next available flight to obodo oyinbo waiting for them to finish their killings before returning to Nigeria.....he surely has a role to play in the security of lives and property in his domain...but he no send

I never said Ooni is second class...am only referring to my town in Ondo state(Akunnu Akoko)....think it's third class sef....lol

Even if it's initial gra-gra, we'll encourage him to do more. He's more of a businessman than a yeoman to politicians...work have already started in that resort he conceived, sited beside Oduduwa University...if completed, it would boost tourism,and generate revenue to the state especially at this critical time of osun's economy

If you are Ondo, how is it you are so familiar with ijebu ode?
Plus, the king may just not want to be roped into something that does not concern him and will sully his name or perhaps he fears for his death?
He may also argue with you that it is the job of the police to ensure security.

Keep inviting and stop working. APC SCAM

QUEEEN KO.....QUEEEN NI.....

I understand she was either present or represented at the late ooni's coronation. It's not impossible that she does the same again.

I won't be surprise if booohari jet out of the country and send a representative to the ceremony.

So that is the foreign investor we anticipated..

So when would the Ooni start recruiting so they could reduce the unemployment rate...

Thank God,buhari is finally visiting nigeria.
