Ile Ife and Benin city are just a rebellious city in history book.

He's definitely promoting the Nigerian culture internationally, and that can only be good.

How can he be promoting the Nigerian culture when he is not even promoting Yoruba culture? Once you don`t believe in Yoruba religion, you can`t talk of Yoruba culture; he is not really qualified to represent Yorubaland anywhere in the world, he is representing the corrupt king-makers that put him where he is.

What do you consider to be Yoruba culture?
And also Yoruba religion?

Ile-Ife has serious crisis,while Oba carry humbrella dey address people for London.

Ile Ife has a Local Government Council, State Gorvernor and Federal executive and legislative oversight which are all constitutionally positioned to protect Ile Ife if they all do their jobs.

Since the UK stripped the Ooni of his ancestral powers and since the Nigerian governments have maintained this same condition since independence to date, the Ooni does not have to intrude in what is governmental jurisdiction. He can weigh in on the matter with his moral authority and this he can do from anywhere. It is left to those who hold executive domion over Ife to do their jobs!

Because your generations are poor and that should be a measure for Onirisha? If your family cannot afford the good things of life, should that be anybody's concern?
If you cannot afford $1 meal is it my business, you clown.

kabiyesi should sit his ass down in the palace. Highly reverred monachs dont hop on the plane and travel around like the current ooni is doing.
He should learn from the Oba Benin or Emir Kano or Sultan Sokoto. I dont know what is it with these yoruba obas jumping up and down(ooni, alaafin, olubadan) with the exception of a few.
They bring disrepute to the throne.

Maybe we should ask someone from New Orleans, or Santiago to help us out because the study of Ifa and Orishas is very popular over there; it`s actually the most popular African religion in the Americas. So when everything has failed in the cradle of Yorubaland, we can call the people our ancestors betrayed to tell us about our culture and religion.

I don't think those living outside the country would know more than those right in the middle of it, although then again I have realized people appreciate indigenous languages and culture much more outside, so you could be right.

My brother, if the first citizen of Yorubaland could be promoting the religion of a country with which he has nothing in common, or lived in before, Haitians that live and breath the Yoruba religion should be seen as better guardians of our ancestral religion and culture. I said it elsewhere, this Ooni confirms the death of Yorubaland, as we know it!

Imagine the Queen of England travelling to another foreign explaining to them she comes from a great royal lineage like she is being interviewed.

All this the Ooni is doing should be the other way around. It is them over there who are interested in your culture and history that should come over to your place and ask for these info. Shouldn't be as though you are trying to sell your royalty as being relevant in the scheme of things.

Or when have you seen the Saudi king being subjected to this jamboree like a circus.

Quit hating, If you are well read you would know that the queen of England is an Head of State and King of Saudi
is the president and commander in chief of Saudi Arabia while our kings carry no constitutional power.
So never compare Apple with Oranges.

There is no crisis in ile Ife. Those who caused crisis have been sent packing.
