The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Babatunde Adeyeye Ogunwusi shall sometime in October, 2016, tour major cities across Europe in an attempt to promote Yoruba culture and unify children of the race.

Organisers of the tour, African Cultural Awards, said the entire project, apart from bringing the Yoruba all over Europe together, would also help protect many of its cultural heritage from going extinct especially in that part of the world.

Speaking at a news briefing in Lagos, President of the group, Mr. Adeyanju Toyin, said there were many Yorubas living in Europe who have lost touch with their origin, hence the need to reconnect them with their roots and save them from the loss of identity.

“The main purpose of initiating this tour was to help the Yoruba spread all across Europe trace their origin. Over the years, AFRICULRA has gained recognition for celebrating culture within African communities in Europe and America.

“This year we are taking the Ooni to Germany, Netherlands, Austria and Hungary to meet with the Yoruba people and encourage them on why they must continue to embrace their culture regardless of the society they now find themselves.

“During the visit, His Imperial Majesty would confer awards on eminent sons and daughters of the Yoruba race and others,” he said.

Na wah o. He should just transfer the traditional throne abroad and start ruling from there, so that at least he'll stay in one place to rule his people.

How does that affect your daily bread?

Onirisa(Ogunwusi) is trying to bring back the lost Yoruba people to their root, something Benjamin Netayahu has never thought doing!
