Ooni Ogunwusi Recognized By US Lawmakers At The House Of Reps In Washington by PrettyCrystal(op): 7:31am On Jun 15, 2016
The Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi(Ojaja II) is receiving more recognition internationally. The Yoruba monarch paid a visit to the House of Representatives in Washington D.C in the United States yesterday where he gave a speech relating to African (Yoruba) culture in front of the full house.

The Ooni and his queen Olori Wuraola Ogunwusi were recognized by the lawmakers who honoured them and also took pictures with them at the chambers.

Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all its own.
I can only thank the gods for making me a Yoruba.

At this rate, Yoruba will soon be made the official language of Afro-Americans.

The culture and language is already well entrenched in South America and carribeans, the language is being taught in some Scandinavian schools already.

It is a subtle way of colonising the world. Keep the flag flying Kabiyesi.

Though this may give some people migraine.

One cannot remove the fact that Ooni is a dynamic, classy and foresighted monarch. The Yorubas and other Nigerians need to project their culture.

It's time for a Renaissance Nigeria. It's time to first culturally colonise Africa, after that economically, Dangote is already leading in that.
