Wow! Ooni Of Ife Makes History, As He Becomes The First Ooni To Visit An Alaafin ( Photos )
Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi,
Ojaja II made history yesterday as paid an
unexpected visit to the Alaafin Of Oyo, Oba
Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi who was celebrating
his 45th coronation anniversary on the throne.
It was the first time in 79 years that an Ooni of
Ife will visit an Alaafin of Oyo, following a cold
war of supremacy said to have been in
existence between the (previous) two
monarchs for over 7 decades. The last time a
reigning Ooni of Ife visited an Alaafin was in
1937.
Oba Ogunwusi while speaking at the
thanksgiving service said though he was not
invited, he had to make an effort to come so
as to end the war and foster unity within the
Yorubas both home and abroad.

“I am here today, though not
invited, but as the Arole
Oduduwa, the onus is on me to
felicitate with all sons and
daughters wherever they are and
to show my solidarity for them. I
am ready to damn any
consequences or insinuations
from anywhere; my mission here
is to preach peace among nations
of Yoruba both home and abroad
and I am ready to work with
Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Olayiwola
Adeyemi to project the unity and
love which existed in days of our
forefathers.”
The Alaafin of Oyo expressed his
excitement at seeing the Ooni in
his domain ” “This special visit
was done last in March 1937, that
was the first time the kings in
Yorubaland met in Oyo town and
today history was made with the
visit of Arole Oodua, Enitan
Ogunwusi, Ojaja II and I feel
delighted to host you and to
reassure you that I will be ready
to work with you. I had a cordial
relationship with Ooni Adesoji
Aderemi and I did not want to
relent my bound with any Ooni
of Ife that assumed the post but
everybody has his own little
differences.”he said
