Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Saturday appeared to the waiting mammoth crowd with the historical and sacred Aare crown on his headwhich he wore for the first time since his enthronement late last year.‎


The crown, which spiritually weighs over 70kg, is always worn once in a year by the Ooni during which major gods in the city are appeased.The Aare is a special crown made of 151 items, part of which is cutlass and hoe.‎ The crown is expected to be worn during the annual Olojo festival in the ancient city.


The festival, which is believed to be a celebration of the creation of thefirst dawn, the first afternoon and the first night in creation of mankind, witnessed the presence of dignitaries, artists, traditional rulers and government officials.‎

at 70kg that's a bag of cement plus weight. A look at his face will tell you that's quite a load. But I like this guy from the day of his coronation and the way he champions African tradition and should every traditional leader follow suit we will forget halloween and stuff here.

How can this Ooni be doing church and tradition at the same time?

It's a choice for you to let yourself be fooled or stick to your conviction.
