The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja 11), has disowned a statement credited to his palace on what happened between him and the Oba of Lagos. The Ooni who restated his respect for the Oba of Lagos in his statement said;

Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja 11) on
Friday disowned a remark credited to one Tunde Awoyemi who claimed to be the palace Director of tourism that the palace of Ooni would invoke the wrath of ancestors on Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu if he fails to tender apology for snubbing Arole of Oduduwa at a public function recently.

Ooni Ogunwusi insisted he would continue to hold Oba of Lagos in high esteem and continually give him respect not only as one of the foremost traditional rulers, but also as an elderly Oba.

In a statement issued by Oba Ogunwusi's director of media and public affairs, Comrade Moses Olafare, "the palace of Ooni is using this medium to dissociate Ooni of Ife from the statement credited to Mr Tunde Awoyemi and we have said it repeatedly that we have no official reaction to the issue of Oba Akiolu".

"Kabiyesi Ogunwusi is committed to his peace and unity agenda, which he has embarked on since he ascended the throne of his forefathers. We refrain from reacting officially, with a view to avoiding fanning any ember of discord as Oba Akiolu remains​ respected monarch and the Ooni had established a very robust and healthy relationship with him before his installation as Ooni of Ife".

"While Ooni would continue to sustain the relationship with Oba Akiolu, we want to state categorically that the remark credited to Tunde Awoyemi was not authorised by Ooni and should be disregarded by all Nigerians both at home and in diaspora".

Ooni is more matured.

Ooni Ogunwusi insisted he would continue to hold Oba of Lagos in high esteem and continually give him respect not only as one of the foremost traditional rulers, but also as an elderly Oba.

Ooni Ogunwusi doesn't seem to understand the significance of the seat he is occupying.

He doesn't know he is now a deity and older than everyone of any age

These our modern Kings should be sincerely and seriously taught the culture before being coronated.

yes! U hv seriously said it well. Ooni needs to be more oriented and cautioned. He is Arole Oduduwa for god's sake. Who is oba of Lagos where 1st class Obas are?

Well said, some were busy trying to make them look like enemies.

its not necessarily ooni having misunderstanding



with the ooni personality he is the type of person who is simply realistic


being US president doesn't change the fact bill Clinton is older than trump any day any time


I think the ooni is deciding to be the bigger man


view it as a warning from the ooni


i doubt that lagoon tout will ever attempt such again

My tot exactly, he has lowered the stool in my opinion.

In most cases silence has always been the answer for a fool. The Ooni keeping mute abt that incident shows he's exposed, matured and truly a leader. I'm sure immaturity made Baale of Idumota reacted like that. Baale of Idumota could not hold his jealousy anymore, you knw when you see people recognising another person more than you, it take maturity to see it as normal in some instances bt Baale of Idumota is not matured to that level.

Let the truth be told, Ooni did not really know the
greeting style of Lagos,
He should have learnt the greeting style in Lagos
island.
He should have raised up his two hands, bang his
feet on the ground alternatively and say "twale
baba" or buate baba " owo meji fun eeyan kan,,iba
e 1million,
Kabiyesi will then respond and say " gbayi padi
mi" ....


Lol

Most people don't​see the warning in this from the Ooni.

Royalties don't fight like slaves. Akiolu behaved like a slave. The Ooni doesn't have to respond in the same manner.

Ok na

Maturity : It doesn't come with age, in fact it deeper than age, it's about the way you see and understand things, the way you consider others, the way you communicate, the way you react. The response of Ooni Ogunwusi was matured.

What's really the big deal here.

Maybe oba "Lilwane" of lagos was not in the mood for pleasantries.
Na by force to answer greetings now in Nigeria

I don't understand

Proverbs 21:23
Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity

Yes you are right, ooni is bigger than other obas but I think he's trying to be diplomatic and doesn't want to draw any bad blood with anyone. That's maturity from the ooni

Kabiesi o,kade pe lori,ki bata o pe lese. The joke is on Oba Akiolu with his lies as regards the traditional way of greeting in lagos

jojomario:
Ooni is more matured.

What do u expect from him!!! He's well educated of course....

Nice one.... Meanwhile









U all should check my signature

hw did d afonjas make a little boy d number one King in their land. He can pass for d son of d oba of Lagos no wonder he is displaying so much weakness b4 him.

Men of great courage, bravery n wisdom are made Kings nt some weakling like ooni way dey run from fight, he is a coward though a good man like GEJ lol

Though I am nt a fan of oba of Lagos but d number one quality I admire in a man/king is courage n bravery n oba has it in excess but oni is a weakling n a coward

Cowards like GEJ/ooni are usually mistaken for peace makers, lets call a spade a spade they are cowards

Other traditional rulers should emulate ooni of Ife on his effort to bring peace among traditions

We don't live in the deities age anymore

We now live in a modern age of peace, love and tranquility.
His humility is a rare virtue that'll draw people to him.

Stop being diplomatic, Kaabiyesi. Oba Eko is not a respected monarch. Older, yes but respected monarch? hell NO.

King Kong, Obafemi Martins, Obahiagbon, Aubameyang, King Sunny Ade, Kwam1, all these and many more are more respected than the Oba Eko.

I like your humility, kaabiyesi. Long may you live.
