Press Release On Video Attempting To Embarrass The Sacred Throne Of Ooni Of Ife...

This is the response to a Video making the rounds,which accuses the Ooni of Ife of things he is allegedly not aware of...........







MINING CONTROVERSY:
A LAUGHABLE ATTEMPT TO EMBARRASS THE SACRED THRONE OF OONI OF IFE


The Ile-Oodua Palace of the Ooni of Ife is not unaware of a video being circulated by practitioners of jungle journalism on the social media through which several claims against the respected monarch were made in respect to the destructions of farmlands.


In the said video, a group of people led by someone who claimed to have come from Ibadan to farm on the land were mobilized to report the activities of some Chinese nationals alleged to have been sent by the Ooni who according them had been paid a large sum of money.


To set the record straight the followings herein represent our necessary response;



1. While it is unfortunate that some supposed Omoluabis as known of descendants of Oduduwa globally would allow themselves to be used against their own source and heritage, it is equally pathetic to realize the damage being currently done by the malicious video especially against the person, image and character of the Arole Oduduwa.


2. To set the record straight, it is imperative to state that the disputed land is located at Aruwa village within Alaba-Ijesa community in Atakumosa West Local Government. It is an Ijesa land under the paramount rulership of Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, the Owa-Obokun of Ijesaland.


The traditional ruler of the town 'Oba Alaba of Aba-Ijesa who should have been earlier contacted before the stage managed video is still alive and should be the one to clarify on the matter.


3. Even in the video, the so called Chinese nationals were neither interviewed nor allowed to talk as they were never contracted by the Ooni and they were not in any way representing the Ooni's palace as maliciously alleged.


Those associating them with the Ooni or the respected Palace of Ife without seeing their Identity Cards or documents to back such claims were only being mischievous.


4. For the sake of record, the Palace of the Ooni which houses several traditional courts through which issues including those related to land grabbing, domestic violence, chieftaincy matters among others are being resolved amicably is always made open to such complaints.


5. True or false, such a matter should have been reported to the Ooni whose Palace is always open to seek clarifications and get his side of the story. But with the confrontational approach of sponsors and promoters of the video, it is obvious that they were only out to smear the image of the Ooni.


6. Unfortunately, the Ooni and other right-thinking individuals who saw the stage-managed video laughed over the comedy and prayed that the good Almighty Olodumare forgives those behind the campaign of calumny. In the same vein, the agents of confusion are equally implored to desist from such shameful act.


7. The Ooni wishes to urge the entire public to ignore the video and its fabricated lies in its entirety.


8. Kabiyesi equally thanks the security officials for their proactiveness in cleansing the mining sector in the State of Osun in which the Ooni had been helpfully involved championing the cause of separating wheat from shaff with regards to legality and illegality of mining operations.


CONCLUSION:

While we profoundly thank those who had shown genuine love concerns on the matter, we hereby reject in its entirety the malicious amateur video report mischievously released to the social media platforms with uninvestigated allegations against the Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II linking him to the destructions of farmlands by some Chinese nationals as allegations of such magnitude should have been logically investigated before being released to the public.


We hereby urge handlers of social media or online journalism to always balance their reports in accordance with the ethics of investigative journalism, while we assure that The Ooni who is only committed to the greatness and progress of the State of Osun, Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole is too busy to be distracted by frivolous acts of enemies of progress




Signed;
Comrade Moses Olafare,
Director, Media & Public Affairs,
Ooni's Palace.

  2. Believe the Ooni’s response at your own peril!! The truth is that most of these young Obas have messed up the traditional institution and have sold lands to these Chinese while lining their own pockets. They have not put the needs of their people first like the elderly Obas. Have you noticed that the elderly Obas have given them distance? These young ones want to mortgage the future of their people.

  9. Someone told me that a Chinese firm contacted his dad who is an estate agent that they need 100,000 acres of land. I now asked him whether his dad got it for them, he said his dad only got 10,000 acres. It left me wondering why these Chinese are up to. Buying thousands of acres of our lands everywhere.

  10. China and chinese wey don buy Nigeria tey tey. They own real estate for farming, business and residence in our country. They have strong interest and desire for Africa and Nigeria in particular. Let our custodians keep deceiving themselves. In tge next 30-50 years, if the world does not end, Nigerians will be paying rent to chinese nationals, buying agric products from them on our own soul and working for peanuts for them in our own land, mark my words. They mean business and never joke.

  12. Stella, I heard from the grapevine that Kano deaths is possibly caused by contamination from illegal mining in Kano by these Chinese.
    That is why till date, they don’t want to disclose the reason for the deaths.
    These deaths in Kano isn’t Covid 19 related, the government know this, Covid19 Test cane out negative but because they are involved in the mining they are trying to cover up.
