I Haven’t Adopted The Title Of An Emir, Oluwo Of Iwo Says by 4reala(m): 5:57pm On Apr 01, 2018 |
Femi Makinde, OsogboThe Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Akanbi, has denied adopting the title of an emir, contrary to media reports. Speaking through his media aide, Mr. Ali Ibrahim, in a statement issued on Sunday, the Oluwo explained that he had never dropped the title of an Oba for an emir. The monarch has been dressing like an emir and wearing turban occasionally and he again wore the turban on Saturday when he installed Yakub Abdul-Baqi Mohhamed the Waziri of Yoruba land in his palace in Iwo. He installed the Waziri, allegedly despite the warning given to him by the League of Imams and Alfas in South West, Edo and Delta states, that he had no such powers to confer an Islamic title, which cuts across the entire South West, on anybody. The statement read, “Oluwo has never adopted the Emir title; he onlysaid he could also be called an Emir by the Hausas and ardent Muslims.“Oba Akanbi is an Oba for the nation, with special attachment to the Yorubas. He promotes Yoruba culture to the admiration of many youths.“Just because of Oluwo dress code today, many children are attracted toYoruba culture of wearingaso ofi.“I said so (reference to being an emir) to integrate Nigeria nation as an indivisible entity. All working tools are available for the integration and unity of our dear country.“I’ve visited the North several times. Core Hausa hardly pronounce Yoruba words correctly. They call me emir when I am with them. Is there anything wrong in answering to such?“Even, the Hausa in Iwo here call meemir. Will I stop them from addressing me as such?“No, I am a father to the nation, being a first-class paramount ruler.” http://punchng.com/i-havent-adopted-the-title-of-an-emir-oluwo-of-iwo-says/

Who is interested in this nonsense explanation. You can call yourself any name, is not your fault. Mindless king makers can collect money and put any fool on the throne. 2 Likes |

If he has changed his name to Islamic name, why is the title a big deal. If he has not done so now, the person that said it must have given a prophecy that will soon be fulfilled. |

I guess this is damage control. He's scared by the level of attack and hatred he has attracted to himself on social media alone since yesterday. I kinda like the Oba but he should not overdo things. It is good that he's retracing his steps. The Oluwo throne is a sacred traditional institution that should not be denigrated with Fulani title. |
