Obasanjo Prostrates Before The Humble Ooni of Ife

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had said: “I commend the role of Ooni in ensuring peace in Yorubaland. Continue what you are doing, especially your unity course. I am happy with the moves so far. It is only a sign of honour for the Ooni to visit anyone. That does not deny Ile-Ife of its position in the history of Yorubaland.”

I trust Baba Iyabo to to do this...after all Ooni is like the head of other Obas in Yorubaland. More pics...



...the Ooni was very happy to be so respected by the former president. Nice one!

  21. The Ooni is the Paramount leader of Yoruba land and so irrespective of the age difference, Obasanjo is a subject to the king.

  23. that's a culture that you can't over look, the king supercedes so everyone must prostrate for him being old or young.
