The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunlesi has raised the alarm over the security challenges in the country, declaring that the southwest does not want war.
Oba Ogunlusi made this known at a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the statehouse on Thursday, ChannelsTV reports.

Speaking on behalf of other traditional leaders in the region, he noted that the challenge in the southwestern part of the country was real as most rural communities have been occupied by strange people.

The Ooni reiterated that the traditional leaders were worried and prepared to work with the government as they called for a reinforcement of federal apparatus to defend themselves from people he describes as bad eggs who may not all necessarily be Fulanis.

He called on all those beating the drums of war as well as politicians escalating issues to desist from acts capable of causing anarchy as the nation cannot withstand a war.

He further disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari assured him that he will reveal his own side of the story on the issue of Ruga settlement as the issue has been taken out of context.

President Buhari also said that firm and unwavering action is required to put the security threats under control adding that any evasion of rules and regulations in ways that aid corruption and illicit financial outflows must be vigorously fought and defeated.

Op, Ooni of Ife is neither Ogunlesi nor Ogunlusi. He is Ooni Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II. Between, Obj has already written Buhari a letter, followed by Ooni's visit on the same issue and I hope Pastor Adeboye will soon write his VP son a similar letter too or call him for a private father-son meeting. Buhari should not start a war which he wont live to see its end. The adage says people can only see the beginning of a war, no one can predicts its end.

'who may not necessarily be Fulani' what is the Oni insunating and why is he not calling a spade what it is? How I wish say na abaribe waka dis journey, he will tell the cow president to caution his fellow herdsmen oh ah!

He suffers aso rock shock while in the house and as a result was unable to say his mind do to excess sweating and panicking.

What is a spade he needs to call? Should he tell the president that the Yoruba should kill all the herdsmen at sight?

He already told the president loud and clear that we will not condone the activities of the Fulani herdsmen in the SW and he even cited a case where the Alafin of Oyo set up local securities where several fulanis were arrested and handed over to the authorities.

In theory, diplomacy solves a lot of thing and you don’t necessarily need to resort to abuse or become flagrant to achieve your aim.

Because you guys believe in flagrant speeches does not imply other people should follow suit. Everyone has a way of achieving their aim, you chose your method while the Yoruba nation chooses theirs. Simple as ABC

Must everyone do things your way?

Everyone have their different way of doing things

Tell your king in Igbo Land to go to Aso Rock and headbutt the president or rain curses and threaten the president and his tribe instead of dictating to everyone on how to speak

Ooni sounded the message loud and clear.
But I don't trust Buhari, he is usually deaf and not aware of things around him.

Buhari is dividing Nigeria faster than we thought.

Good thing is...the war will be between Fulani and others.

Just saw it on Channels news now

Telling PMB to stop what, with the way the ooni is smiling as if he won 200 million dollars contract?You guys are joking!

That's the problem I always have with the religious and traditional elites, they tender serious issues before PMB with a body language that makes it seem all is well.

Even see how he's sitting before PMB like a servant before his master. The ooni should thank his stars that I'm not in anyway close to him in that meeting, if yes, I would have given him a knock on his head for him to be serious. The man is simply belittling his stool.

On a second thought, his uncle Thief-nubu said it's not herdsmen but Evans the kidnapper...

Hmm. Say no to tribalism and religious intolerance.

He has ear problem he won't hear him.

H

He's just waking up...

Pls go back to your slumber.

It is clear that you are one of those who would love nothing more than to see the SW region burn going by your inciting rhetoric, but you have failed. Ooni was right because even igbos and other tribes also commit crimes in the SW yet no one is baying for their blood or talking about going to war with them so you guys should chill with your warmongering.

Where has your spade spade gotten you and your people? A civil war with 3million dead and an under developed erosion laden region.

Wisdom is just not in some people’s vocabulary.

100 % That's a good leader.

So your almighty, muscle flexing Abaribe has lost his way to Aso rock abi? Better still,maybe he's a persona non grata there

If there is no thief inside as informant , it will not be easy for the thief outside to operate. Oni knew what he was saying.

Am Igbo, and I understand ur point.
He said it the way he should, but the problem is that Buhari has built a reputation for not listening to others. he won't take the ooni serious, one bit.
it will be business as usual.

that said, there is no other way the ooni could have made his point clearer.

How did he sound loud and clear ? Was he as clear and expressive as the way MURIC, ACF and Miyetti Allah issue threats ? Rather he was been political and trying to pacify the president by sitting on the fence. I am not saying he ought to be confrontational but simply call a spade what it is.
