OLOJO 2019: OONI WEARS ANCIENT AARE CROWN AS BUHARI CHARGES NIGERIANS TO FOCUS ON CULTURES FOR SOCIOECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT

The Arole Oodua & Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi on Saturday appeared to the public after 7 days in seclusion with the ancient Aare crown as the annual Olojo festival 2019 took place in Ile Ife.

Flanked by his beautiful queen, Olori Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi(Yeyeluwa), the Ooni who is the natural father of the Yoruba race worldwide appeared to the waiting crowd in an all-white traditional attire with colourful beads shortly before wearing Aare crown which was handed down by Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba race.

On setting their eyes on the foremost African monarch, the waiting crown who were aware of the huge spiritual implications of the crown raised their voices in prayers as the Ooni equally prayed for them before walking down to the Oke Mogun and Idi Aje shrines to offer prayers.
