Canada Invites Ooni To 150th Independence Anniversary by Islie: 11:17am On May 22, 2017
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has been invited as a special guest of the Canadian Government to grace the country’s 150th Independence Anniversary celebrations in July this year.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the special invitation was conveyed to the Ife monarch in his palace on Sunday by a Canadian Member of Parliament (MP), Ramesh Sangha.

Delivering the invitation, the Canadian MP said that the invitation was aimed at forging stronger ties between Canada and Nigeria.

Sangha, representing Brampton Central in the Canadian Parliament, said he would collaborate with Federal Government in the areas of economy, youth empowerment, health services, agriculture, science and technology while in Nigeria.

He described the Ife monarch as a “reference point in Nigeria in view of the enviable niche he has carved for himself since mounting the throne of his forebears.

“We Canadians are very happy with Your Highness for the great work you are doing.”

“On behalf of Canadian Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Justin Pierre James Trudeau, we are inviting you to the 150th Independence Anniversary Celebration of Canada coming up in July,” said the Canadian MP.

Responding, Oba Ogunwusi said he would continue to promote Yoruba tradition and cultural heritage as well as propagate peace and unity across the world.

The Ife monarch said he would grace the occasion in Canada and also promised to contribute his quota to the success of the programme.

NAN reports that the Canadian delegation included John Adeyefa, President, and Nigerian-Canadian Association in Ottawa, Chidi Nwanyanwu, and President, Nigerian-Canadian Association in Ontario and Sola Agboola, Leader, Nigerian Young-Adult Association in Canada.

I just love this country.

It has got to be the most nonpartisan first world country I've seen.

As students we used to celebrate our various cultures (Africans, Asians etc) like we were home and everyone used to participate.

Only the biting cold is a concern.

If I stop being a Nigerian, though, Canada is where I want to nationalize tongue

One of the reasons why we should not abandon our heritage... The oyinbos always trip for our culture and tradition but we, the owner of tradition detest it so much.. That's why we have abandoned almost everything we possess and embrace theirs.

God help us. Beyonce recently held her baby shower and it was African themed. Meanwhile, We are here running around to buy Brazilian hair and whitenicious cream so that we can be like oyinbo.

Life truly is upside down. Oni, keep doing the Yoruba Nation and Nigeria at large proud...

Ooni will travel to Lagos before he can fly out to Canada. The arrogant king who has the airport in his territory is going nowhere.

There is no such thing as a 'humble king'. If he were truly humble he would abdicate and abolish the monarchy.
