On a particular platform that claims to work towards creating Yoruba Nationhood I said most people calling for Odua State, Yoruba nation are all noise makers as they have not created the foundation pillars of nationhood: Intellectualizing the Yoruba language (translate all available knowledge to Yoruba , that is every subject), All religious icons must look like the Yoruba, there must be a clear ideology that this Yoruba Nation would be based on, including economic survival among other things to consider. The only comment I got back was about me calling we Yoruba noise makers. We are not ready we may continue for longer if we have no concrete plans. At the moment we have no leaders!
Good evening Objective Media. I forwarded this to a friend of Ooni of Ifè that is living here in New Jersey, USA. He forwarded it to Kabiyesi yesterday May 5, 2020 and promised me a feedback asap. Below is the response from the palace of Oni of Ifè within 24 hours👇👇👇 *MINING CONTROVERSY: A LAUGHABLE ATTEMPT TO EMBARRASS The SACRED THRONE OF OONI OF IFE* The Ile-Oodua Palace of the Ooni of Ife is not unaware of a video being circulated by practitioners of jungle journalism on the social media through which several claims against the respected monarch were made in respect to the destructions of farmlands. In the said video, a group of people led by someone who claimed to have come from Ibadan to farm on the land were mobilized to report the activities of some Chinese nationals alleged to have been sent by the Ooni who according them had been paid a large sum of money. To set the record straight the followings herein represent our necessary response; 1. While it is unfortunate that some supposed Omoluabis as known of descendants of Oduduwa globally would allow themselves to be used against their own source and heritage, it is equally pathetic to realize the damage being currently done by the malicious video especially against the person, image and character of the Arole Oduduwa. 2. To set the record straight, it is imperative to state that the disputed land is located at Aruwa village within Alaba-Ijesa community in Atakumosa West Local Government. It is an Ijesa land under the paramount rulership of Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, the Owa-Obokun of Ijesaland. The traditional ruler of the town 'Oba Alaba of Aba-Ijesa who should have been earlier contacted before the stage managed video is still alive and should be the one to clarify on the matter. 3. Even in the video, the so called Chinese nationals were neither interviewed nor allowed to talk as they were never contracted by the Ooni and they were not in any way representing the Ooni's palace as maliciously alleged. Those associating them with the Ooni or the respected Palace of Ife without seeing their Identity Cards or documents to back such claims were only being mischievous. 4. For the sake of record, the Palace of the Ooni which houses several traditional courts through which issues including those related to land grabbing, domestic violence, chieftaincy matters among others are being resolved amicably is always made open to such complaints. 5. True or false, such a matter should have been reported to the Ooni whose Palace is always open to seek clarifications and get his side of the story. But with the confrontational approach of sponsors and promoters of the video, it is obvious that they were only out to smear the image of the Ooni. 6. Unfortunately, the Ooni and other right-thinking individuals who saw the stage-managed video laughed over the comedy and prayed that the good Almighty Olodumare forgives those behind the campaign of calumny. In the same vein, the agents of confusion are equally implored to desist from such shameful act. 7. The Ooni wishes to urge the entire public to ignore the video and its fabricated lies in its entirety. 8. Kabiyesi equally thanks the security officials for their proactiveness in cleansing the mining sector in the State of Osun in which the Ooni had been helpfully involved championing the cause of separating wheat from shaff with regards to legality and illegality of mining operations. CONCLUSION: While we profoundly thank those who had shown genuine love concerns on the matter, we hereby reject in its entirety the malicious amateur video report mischievously released to the social media platforms with uninvestigated allegations against the Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II linking him to the destructions of farmlands by some Chinese nationals as allegations of such magnitude should have been logically investigated before being released to the public. We hereby urge handlers of social media or online journalism to always balance their reports in accordance with the ethics of investigative journalism, while we assure that The Ooni who is only committed to the greatness and progress of the State of Osun, Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole is too busy to be distracted by frivolous acts of enemies of progress Signed; *Comrade Moses Olafare,* *Director, Media & Public Affairs,* *Ooni's Palace.*
@Adesina Jikiemi that land you are talking about ,is not under the domain of ooni of ife is under the domain of another king, called owa obokun of ijesha land, and the land belongs to atakumosa local government area,.. do your findings very well, ooni can never cross the boundary, stop saying things , that you do not know the source of the news was out of hatred ,
@Adesina Jikiemi The myth of the Yorubas being highly educated is a myth. They only know how to regugitate things they read. Many don't even have brains to realize, that the ability to read and write doesn't make one educated.
@@samueloyewole1177 It doesn't matter. For every rumour, there's an ounce of truth. What we see is glaring. Let's just hope the Chinese have been scammed. But from all what we've heard about how these thieves sign contracts written in Mandarin, I don't think any sane individual would try to justify these treasonous acts
@@applyyourimagination1728, what you are saying, it does even tally, because, no king is allowed to... cross their jurisdiction, okay go and do your finding stop blackmailing in the of alleging people wrongly
Why would anyone not believe those farmers? Poor farmers in Osun & villages around Ibadan putting their faces, naming their names just to discredit the Ooni for no reason? Everybody knows the Ooni lives above his means! He has maxed out his credit worthiness with Zenith Bank. It's so bad that, one day he ran into a Zenith Bank manager at a function, he asked the manager to come and see him in the palace; the manager told him Ok but later said the Ooni does that when he wants to borrow money. He hasn't paid back what he owes and they cannot lend him money anymore, the manager said. The Oba is young, wants good things in life & trying to make it happen by all means. I believe the farmers & landowners. The farmers & landowners needed to have just rounded up the Chinese, k1ll3d, buried them and kept quiet. If all the disenfranchised people in Southwest would start doing that to the Chinese & Fulani Herdsmen, we will quickly resolve our economic & security issues a little bit!
If Oni has nothing to do with it, why did the Chinese men mention him and nobody else? The oppressors are here again. We shall be victorious in Jesus name
Upon all the wealth, luxurious cars, luxurious palace and wives, they are still very greed to sell all the small possessions of the land that belongs to people to foreigners. Obas in Yorubaland are big problems.
When sowore got this guys called ooni , try said sowore is not a respectful person, he knew all of them before they left here to go and destroy Nigerian peaple
I like Sowore, however you are not helping Sowore by insulting the King, do you not read the reply from his office. By linking Sowore with the King is not the right way to go.
at lara, mo,all of you are in love with your oppressors and you guys are hypocrates... did you know Oni himself has said it there is a Gold in ile ife in one art programm and he said one of the art work was made from Gold.. where does he got the Gold from. continue defending lies.. i think you guys are the ppl they sent out to debunks is actrocities of your 419 king.. ok.. he has case in abroad and nigeria.. i want you guys to debunk that too... he intentionally attacked sowore in is palace that.. debunk it.. all is criminal records was in hand of sowore but sowore dont have is time now.. we shall see.. they wanted to sell everything they laid there hands on.. bunch of prodigy sons..
at mo... we are not a baby anymore.. stop that nonesense.. you dont like sowore. your king is a political king. nobody that like sowore that will like your king with what they did to sowore in ife that day..
This news is confirmed false as per the Oni. He has nothing to do with it. An official news release made to that effect from the palace. The land is ijesha land under the Owa of ijesha. Not under the Oni.
Please don't let this be ignored let's try and make some special investigations on this issue it's not good at all these shows Yorubas have been in serious darkness for long
all what political kings are doing in osun, they just have luck that osun ppl are cool ppl... if any king try it in ijebu he will regret it.. alhough, i trust ogbaba a gba ote wole.why all this farmers did not have Ooka aluwo.?. they can do it and try it on this chinessenow.. how much ele oka in market.. very cheap... its high time that every yoruba should have onde.. if you see any chiness on your farm, you dont need video, just heat him with onde or Oka aluwo.. he will go back to his hotel and die. next time they will not come to your state or your farm because of all this kings and politiciansare not wicked. they wanted to sell everything to chiness.
@Adesina Jikiemi you are stupid for saying that, ooni should go to a land that is not his territory, and saying , because of a baseless allegation coming from the most useless woman on social media.called esabod, you are a big fool for saying that....
LARA MARIAM HALL yes Lara is fake news just listens to the man do the video telling him in ijesha language telling him what to say. That useless woman paid them to do it and one stupid guy said Ooni should come and defend himself some old fools are still paid to do such thing it’s a shameful act

It's so sad that the current Ooni of Ife had a criminal record with suspended criminal cases but painfully this opportunist still continues with his criminal activities. It's time to REMOVE him like the former Emir Sanusi of Kano. This dude is a complete disgrace to Oduduwa nation. Recently alleged on money laundering. Shame😡
I'm not surprised at all, I knew his name will definitely come up, that is where the fund for his flamboyant lifestyle comes from, immediately I heard the news, I've been expecting his name to be mentioned, those are the people robbing Nigerians, I hope justice is done and they are all brought to book, enough is enough. There must be an end to stealing of our resources by selfish and greedy individuals . God bless Nigeria
Support Sowore for a new Nigeria
Sowore is the only solution for nigeria shame to all Yoruba leader
There is always internal collaborators. I won't be surprised if Ooni is involved. Africans have not learn anything from last 400yrs history.
Fake news there is a new video the baale of that village said they are the one that sold it not ooni of ife and the land is in ijesa not lle ife
