OLOJO FESTIVAL 2017: OONI UNVEILS MEDIA SPONSORS AS HE BEGINS 7 DAY SECLUSION


The annual celebrations of OLOJO FESTIVAL 2017 has commenced in Ile-Ife with the movement ​of The Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II into​ a seclusion of 7 days which began on Sunday to terminate on Saturday when the Arole Oduduwa is expected to appear to the public with sacred Aare crown only worn once a year by Ooni.

Ooni had earlier in his Palace unveiled BET9JA, a betting company based in Lagos as the media sponsor of the festival believed to be the most important of all the festivals in Yorubaland being the festival that celebrates Olodumare (GOD) and the first day(Ojo) before he subsequently processed alongside with his Traditional aides called EMESES and later joined by thousands of the people who accompanied him to the Traditional Supreme Court(Iledi) located along Iremo road recieved by the waiting kingmakers known as AGBA IFE with whom he held a brief meeting and offered prayers for the nation before later moving to the sacred seclusion house (ILOFI) where he would remain incommunicado till Friday night.

While unveiling BET9JA as the media sponsor of the Olojo Festival, Ooni Ogunwusi called on the media to assist in creating positive awareness about Yoruba traditional festivals, saying that is the only way the people can be totally freed from the slavish mentality​ inflicted on us by the colonialists who had only come to turn us to their slaves even in our own land.

Highlighting what he will be doing during the seclusion, Ooni told the newsmen in his palace that he shall together with the deities reviewing the last one year and offer prayers to the Almighty God (Olodumare) for the entire country and its leadership as he would not be receiving visitors nor be seen outside to avoid unnecessary abuse of the sacredness of the period.

"our ancestors will be appeased during the period and by the time I come out on Saturday for the grand finale, the seclusion rites would have been be concluded. 

"It is a celebration of creation of the universe and many visitors from within the country and the diaspora will come around to celebrate with us. My duty is specifically to offer prayers and that I will do to the best of my ability." Ooni said.

On the significance of the festival, the Spiritual Leader of the Yoruba race worldwide said Olojo is the celebration of first dusk and dawn and creation of the universe, with an assurance to work towards promoting further all notable cultural festivals in Yorubaland.

This year's edition is expected to witness an unprecedented participation of foreigners the members of the black caucus of Pennsylvania House of Representatives and about 150 other black Americans have already indicated interest to participate in the Festival.

We yoruba communities in Ghana we all welcome Ooni ife and his Olori to Ghana.

His Imperial Majesty, Ooni of Ife , King Dr Adeyeye Ogunwusi and Her Majesty, Olori Wuraola-Zynab Ogunwusi arrived in Ghana yesterday for their official visit to President John Mahama, to deliver remarks to the Ghanaian Parliament alongside Ghanaian evangelist Dr Kingsley Fletcher, the Suapolor of the SE Kingdom. Fletcher first visited The Ooni of Ife during the Ooni’s Historic US tour in June.
In the Ooni’s work for unity amongst African nations and quest to return Africa to global prominence, His Imperial Majesty says, “Africa is the center of the world, we need unity, we need to extend our hands to our brothers and sisters for us to move forward and make headway as a continent.” There are over 4 million Yoruba people living in Ghana, most of whom are from Nigeria. According to historians, the first group of Yorubas arrived in the Gold Coast around 1813 and initially settled in such places as Accra, Kumasi and Sekondi before moving to the northern part of the Gold Coast, especially Tamale, Wa, Lawra and Nandom.
Her Majesty, Olori Wuraola, will also be meeting with Her Highness, Lordina Mahama, the first lady of Ghana to discuss partnership and trade efforts through her Queen of Ile-Ife Foundation whose mission is to better the lives of women in Nigeria and across Africa.

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace and God be with his families.....

May Almighty Allah accepting it as an Ibaadah for us......Ameen
