That's interesting to hear! The Mercedes-Benz W115, also known as the "Stroke Eight," was produced from 1968 to 1976 and is considered a classic car. It was available as a sedan or a coupe, and it was known for its durability, reliability, and comfortable ride. The fact that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has added a W115 sedan to his car collection is a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic Mercedes-Benz model. It's great to see people appreciating and preserving classic cars like these.



Ooni Of Ife’s official cars includes models from brands like Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and Jet Motors.



The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, certainly has an impressive car collection!

The Mercedes S-Class is a flagship luxury sedan produced by Mercedes-Benz since the 1970s.


It's not uncommon for car enthusiasts and collectors to own multiple luxury vehicles, as each one tends to have its own unique features and driving experience. It's great to see people like the Ooni of Ife preserving and appreciating these high-end vehicles for their historical, cultural, and aesthetic value.









It's interesting to hear about the customized details of the Ooni of Ife's white Mercedes-Benz! The Nigerian flag design on the car is a unique way to showcase national pride, and the customized "Ooni of Ife" number plate is a great way to personalize the vehicle and make it stand out from other cars in the collection.

It's not uncommon for high-profile individuals like the Ooni of Ife to have customized number plates on their vehicles, as it can be a way to express their identity or status.

Overall, it's great to see people taking pride in their vehicles and finding ways to make them unique and personalized.












The Ooni of Ife
is known for his love for luxury cars and is often seen being driven around in a convoy of expensive vehicles.


He is a highly respected traditional ruler in Yoruba land, and his impressive collection of cars is a testament to his status and influence. Some of the cars in his collection include a Rolls Royce, a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon, a Cadillac Escalade, a Bentley, and a Range Rover. He is widely admired for his leadership style and his commitment to development and progress in his kingdom.


The 48-year-old vibrant Yoruba King, who received his staff of office on 7 December 2015, is among several Nigerian monarchs that love to be chauffeured around in luxury cars.







As a spiritual leader of the Yoruba people, the 51st Ooni Of Ife is saddled with the responsibility of making supplications to God and the Òrìṣà on behalf of his tribe and the world at large during annual festivals such as Olojo.

Nigerian Leaders that have used the car are only a few because of its expensive nature.

The list is only 1-4, which are Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Samuel Ládòkè Akíntọ́lá, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, and Murtala Muhammed

This car was fine back in the day, but not anymore. If you want to have a unique car in Nigeria, buy a Limousine or Rolls Royce Phantom. Better still, buy Innoson or other made-in-Nigeria product.

Please Pete Edochie didn't mess him up.

He just shook hands with Ooni.

Besides, he wasn't in Ooni's palace.

How's that handshake different from a fellow Yoruba man, Otedola, shaking hands with the Ooni?

Will Morgan Freeman prostrate to your ooni, or will your ooni prostrate to King Charles of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada and Australia?
The answer is capital no! The reason is, they are from different cultural background and customs. Where Pete Edochie comes from reverend their kings differently from that of the ooni people.
