Adeyeye Ogunwusi
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has unveiled a plan to launch a common anthem in Yoruba language to be recited at public functions after the national anthem.

He said the proposed Yoruba anthem became expedient to inculcate the spirit of solidarity, unity, service, love and togetherness in every Yoruba person irrespective of age and status.

The Ooni disclosed this on Friday during a courtesy visit to Governor Ayo Fayose at Ayoba Villa, Government House, Ado Ekiti, the state capital, to round off his two-day visit to the Fountain of Knowledge.

He noted that the anthem would further consolidate unity among the Yorubas both within the country and in Diaspora.

The royal father said he drew the inspiration to compose a common Yoruba anthem after listening to the Ekiti anthem.

He also reiterated his call on traditional rulers in Yoruba land to put aside battle for supremacy saying monarchs are nothing before God as they are humans.

Oba Ogunwusi also promised to soon release a book that would further add value to his current peace efforts across the country.

Afonja is a greater warrior than any Igbo man born

the egba people of ogun state have an anthem now the whole odualand will have an anthem
odua a gbe wa

By the way, why was this thread moved to Culture? It has everything to do with the politics in Nigeria today. If it has to stay in Culture, then it merits front page as it is about the Yoruba tribe as a whole, and should not be undermined and given little relevance.
