Of course, the Oyomesi can impeach an Alaafin, but an Alaafin is more like a political head while the Ooni is more of a spiritual one at the end of the day, it's the gods that will handle his case if he defaults. I love what he's doing though, if the Yoruba nation can end up speaking with one voice as a result of this, he will be forever remembered.

sweetgala:


The Ooni was made King by the Tinubu caucus, that is a fact I know of very well, they know the source of his sudden great wealth and his deep secrets as an ordinary man, so I doubt that fact has changed. He'll always be indebted to these guys. There are some other big names across Nigeria that facilitated his enthronement but I'll leave that out for now.

The Ooni does seem intriguing, he is young and has the energy and activism of a young king, doing a lot and trying to impress at every turn. His ilari and emese do look very clean and well dressed

loveuGOD:
Ife people and yoruba culture don enter one chance with this king. ife king as most respected king in yoruba land has sundenly become junkenta in chief.
As much as i love his style he should also respect that stool. Last time i saw him flying boat with life jacket taking selfie.
Ah ah. Oni of ife for that matter. That stool will soon loose its honour.

Over the years, there has always been a thin line between spiritual and political institutions in Yoruba land. For example, Awolowo practically dragged and supported Ooni Sijuade to the throne, don't forget that the previous Ooni before him Ooni Aderemi was also a close ally of Awolowo. It's nothing new if you are a keen student of Yoruba history.

I think the Ooni realises that we are in a unique era of great possibilities and has therefore taken an approach that recognises that.... ....I understand his predecessor Alayeluwa Oba Okunade Sijuwade, used to visit Awo too...

Guk:


His predecessor, Oba Sijuwade never visited Awolowo, they were completely opposed to each other

Guk:


Awolowo and the late Ooni Sijuwade were 2 parallel line......they were never in the same camp. Late Ooni's political leanings were Pro NPN; Pro Babangida; Pro NRC and Pro PDP

His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ooni took another unity visit to Asiwaju Bola Hammed Tinubu in his house yesterday, thereby laying unprecedented legacies for the progress of Youruba race peviously unknown in the history of the nation.

Oba Ogunwus told the APC National Leader and former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu that his visit was part of his agenda to unify the sons and daughters of Yoruba all over the world.

Oba Ogunwusi, who is unrelenting in his mission towards reconciling all perceived differences among Yoruba monarchs, political leaders for a peaceful and united Yoruba nation, last week paid a historic visit to His Royal Highness Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland.

It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari while reacting to the emergence of Oba Ogunwusi last October, urged the Ooni Ogunwusi to work with the Federal Government towards building a peaceful and united Nigeria.

Ooni Ogunwusi since his coronation has therefore committed himself to carrying all Yoruba people along to a new era of peace, stability and progress in Ife, Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole.

Ooni Ogunwusi, as the principal custodian of the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Yoruba is vigorously putting his position into good use in the service of his people and country.

Ooni has since dedicated himself to building on, and surpassing the worthy legacies of his much-acclaimed predecessor, Oba Sijuwade, and working with government and other traditional rulers across the country to foster greater harmony, peaceful co-existence and faster socio-economic development of his people and all Nigerians.

why is it,that, mere mentioning of D name "Jagaban"; ur whole brain network will be working anti-clockwisely. If some pple say Fayose & Jonathan are criminals,u'll swiftly raise an objection saying," You are presume innocent until u'r proven guilty by d law court". But on Tinubu's case,u'll foolishly & brainlessly shout 'criminal',when No court of law have said so. do u want to create different law,just because Tinubu is giving u sleepless night ?. I can understand ur pains. D fact is, until igbos stop seeing Tinubu as d cause of their 'Marginalization theory';they will continue to b @ d back burner. Enjoy ur day.

So I choose not to blame your dulll-witttedness..

Ioannes:


they may have helped him unto the throne (though they are only tools in the hand of the Omniscient), yet he is now the king. the stool he occupies forbids him paying homage or bowing before any other mortal.

let him leave politics for the politician.

I would prefer he visits the other kings who inherited their throne directly from the sons of Oduduwa, the Awujale, the Ataoja, the Deji, the Osemawe and so on in a bid to foster and strengthen our filial bond.

coolitempa:


Hahahaha...you are a funny guy.....Awo and Oba Sijuade opposed to each other.....

TplenT:


Awolowo and the late Ooni Sijuwade were 2 parallel line......they were never in the same camp. Late Ooni's political leanings were Pro NPN; Pro Babangida; Pro NRC and Pro PDP



sorry Boss..The above is absolutely incorrect.Infact,Sijuade was a core Awoist(even to the extreme).Also note that the Awo political machine facilitated his ascension to the Ooni throne and Sijuade was Coronated by the UPN government of Bola Ige in old Oyo State.(1980)

Ooni Sijuade was from his youth a surrogate son of Late Ooni Adesoji Aderemi who was also a core Awo loyalist.

Personally,I even think Sijuade's pathological hatred for MKO Abiola must have stemmed from Abiolas actions in '79 and '83 when he was one of the major NPN forces that truncated the most promising political chances of Awolowo of becoming president.

Indeed every major progressive of that era so loathed Abiola and there was even talks that Awo placed a political curse on him that he will never reach his promised land.(Just as Zik was said to have cursed Okadigbo).

though I have my misgivings about Ooni sijuade too,but history must be placed in the right perspective.

This was Ooni Sijuade's last interview before he joined his ancestors, please read it, once you are done, mention me if you think you know more about this issue.
