Ooni Of Ife Participates In Osun Deity Festival (photos) by GISTM0RE(op): 1:38pm On Jul 28, 2019
Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, on Saturday July 27th, led thousands of Osun faithfuls who stormed his Ile Oodua Palace across the country to celebrate the 2019 edition of Ita-Osun festival.

While addressing newsmen after offering supplications to the deity, the Ooni described Osun Sengese as the progenitor of all water deities across the world, adding that the festival was meant to acknowledge the deity which is known for fortunes.

“As you all known that water is indispensable to our survival as human, Osun Sengese is a major deity in Yoruba land known for the performance of wonders through the water. Water has numerous healing and prosperity potentials as brought to us by Sengese, the mother of all water deities across the world. I pray that we shall always be fortunate, may our glory never be buried under water and may we never encounter flooding. Happy celebration.” he said

The festival was witnessed by traditional rulers, high chiefs, foreign tourists from Brazil, Ireland Cuba to join the Osun worshipers who had come from all the states of the Yorubaland.

I don't just understand this man.
A king who is a Christian but will always participate in idol worship and married to a prophetess.
Highly respected by church leaders all over d country.
Am even surprised dat he has not invited papa Adeboye to help him dedicate a new shrine to d goddess yemoja.

Hypocrites.

If it was me that was seen branching d house of baba adekija to collect my monthly dosage of safe body and apeeyen dat is even good for malaria.

We are gradually regaining our senses back in Africa.

The truth is, people can't really differentiate between religion, tradition and culture.

We have long standing history here in Africa. Sango, Ogun and co. Were all great ancestors like Ceasar, Zeus, Augustus

There are foster and biological parents. Only a foolish child will diswon his biological parents just because the other is offering red porridge.

This is Africa and any child who refused to acknowledge his root source has gone against the biblical fifth commandment' & so, as the gods are strangling him, the biblical judgement will also befall him
