Open Letter to Ooni of Ife.


HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, OBA BABATUNDE ENITAN ADEYEYE OGUNWUSI, Ojaja II: OPEN LETTER TO YOUR HIGHNESS I salute your highness for measures being put in place to restore peace and harmony in Ile-Ife, the cradle of the Yoruba. Following your 10 days historical visit to the United Kingdom, Aláyélúwà, Àrólé Oòduà Your Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyeye Enitan Akande Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, I hold that your highness should have cancelled the trip in order to foster peace and unity in Ile-Ife following the Yoruba and Hausa communal clash last week. Your ever-present presence would in no small measure helped to pacify the situation. The crisis was quite an unfortunate one and unexpected within the expected. Though it has been scheduled that Your Highness and entourages will be in the UK for 10 days historical visit. However, you would have rescheduled the visit. Olórí-Aládé-Gbogbo, "kò sí ìgbà tí a dásọ tí a kò rílẹ̀ fi wọ" tótó ṣe bí òwe Kábíèsí. The visit could have been rescheduled till serenity is brought back to the domain already boiling. Jìgbìnì-bí-àtẹ-àkún, i showered encomium on you last Thursday, 9th of March 2017, while speaking with journalists in Lagos for calling Hausa people in Ile-Ife your subjects. I am not tipped for this, am only saying the minds of Ifes. I wonder if the Queen of England would not have cancelled or deferred any planned trip if the United Kingdom was on fire. Atáyé-sọ-bíi-igbá, the inauguration of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee was a good move to help the situation on ground but your physical presence would have spoken volume and would have helped to restore the post-crisis issues amicably. Olú-ayé-àdìmúlà, a lot is still going on in your domain that need urgent attention. Òkè lẹ́yin mọ̀ọ̀rẹ̀ Ọ̀jájá fìdí ọ̀tẹ̀ jàlẹ́ Ọmo ò joyè, kóyè wuníi jẹ Ọba Babátúndé Ẹnitan Àkàndé Ògúnwùsì Òléwà lówó. Thanks, ADÉFARE, DANIEL ÌYANUOLÚWA Concerned Ife.

Ooni Of IFE takes his place at Osun council of Oba

OONI OF IFE TAKES HIS PLACE AT OSUN COUNCIL OF OBA. The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Thursday attended the meeting of the Osun State Council of Traditional Rulers for the first time after his installation on December 7, 2015. Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, became the acting chairman of the council following the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade but he said in November 2015, barely a week before the Ooni was presented with the staff of office, that he h ad been elected as the substantive chairman of the council. It was gathered that the Owa, who arrived at the venue of the Thursday’s meeting early, occupied the seat meant for the chairman. He was however said to have introduced himself as a deputy chairman. The atmosphere inside the conference hall of the Ministry of Finance where the meeting was held was said to have changed immediately the Ooni arrived with a large number of traditional rulers who came with him for the meeting. Most of the Obas seated were sai...
