Sunday Igboho Apologises To Ooni Of Ife, Seeks Support To Clear Watchlist Status Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (Sunday Igboho), on Saturday formally apologised to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, during a reconciliation visit to the Ile Oodua Palace in Ile-Ife. Before prominent monarchs and chiefs, Igboho prostrated before the Ooni, admitting his past remarks against the monarch were wrong. He thanked the Ooni for privately intervening during his detention in Benin Republic and pleaded for support to clear his security watchlist status and unfreeze his accounts. Supporting the reconciliation, Yoruba monarchs praised Igboho’s humility and assured him of forgiveness. The Ooni, in response, embraced Igboho, describing him as a “brilliant and courageous son of Yorubaland” and urged unity among Yoruba people. The move marks a significant step in mending strained ties and could pave the way for broader dialogue on Yoruba self-determination. #SundayIgboho #OoniOfIfe #YorubaNation #NigeriaNews

Ooni, Alaafin Differ Over Chieftaincy Title For Businessman A dispute has erupted between the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, over a chieftaincy title conferred on Ibadan businessman Dotun Sanusi. On Monday, the Alaafin issued a 48-hour ultimatum, describing the Ooni’s action as an “affront” and claiming only the Alaafin has exclusive authority to confer titles covering the entire Yorubaland. But the Ooni’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare, said the monarch will not dignify the threat with a response, urging focus on unity rather than division. The Alaafin insists failure to revoke the title would attract “consequences.” #OoniOfIfe #AlaafinOfOyo #Yoruba #Chieftaincy #Nigeria #Tradition #DotunSanusi
