Ooni Of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi Is The First Ooni To Visit Oyo Since 1937 (Pic) by Dmcool(op): 7:05pm On Jan 17, 2016
History was made on Sunday as the new Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi became the first Ooni to visit Oyo town since 1937.

The Methodist Church, Apaara, venue of the 45th coronation anniversary thanksgiving of Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, became electrified immediately news filtered in that Oba Ogunwusi’s convoy has reached Owode, followed by many other Obas.

The late Ooni Sijuwade and Oba Adeyemi were embroiled in supremacy battle. Decked in the normal Ooni trademark attire, Oba Ogunwusi shook hands with the Alaafin and they sat on the same chair, both beaming with smiles.

An elated Oba Adeyemi, who had earlier read from the Bible, said the last time an Ooni visited the Alaafin was in 1937, adding that he was very close to many Obas in Yorubaland and beyond.

Revealing how close he was to Ooni Adesoji Aderemi,
the monarch said he never disrespected him but prayed for his longevity on the throne. “The misunderstanding started during the reign of the last Ooni. May your reign be long, Ooni. I am happy with Ooni Ogunwusi’s moves to unite all Yoruba Obas,” Oba Adeyemi stated.

Oba Ogunwusi described Alaafin as a great monarch, noting that “it is a new dawn for all Yoruba sons and daughters around the globe,” He ended his speech with the song ‘Ore l’ao mase…Awa o ba ti ja wa ooo, Ore l’ao ma sem” (We will continue to be friends).”

Oba Ogunwusi and other Obas were later hosted inside the Palace of the Alaafin.

I can't believe this!!! I'm sure Oba lamidi cannot do this. Good example for unity among yoruba obas.

The Alaafin had his thanksgiving service in a church? With a name like Lamidi I assumed he was a Muslim.
