Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti has come for the Ooni of Ife, saying its a
shame the monarch said Jesus Christ is his father. At a church service
in June in the US, the Ooni said he has a father and that Jesus is his
father. Seun in the interview with Sahara TV, said the Ooni’s statement
is shameful after all the rituals he did before his ascension to the
throne. He said the Ooni’s statement is an insult to the throne that is
older than him, his lineage and anything that he thinks he knows.
“Its just a shame. Its just like saying that the Queen of England says
the Pope is her father. If she says she no longer believes in the
Anglican church of England and Archbishop of Canterbury and she swears
allegiance to the Pope who is a fellow christian but a catholic, she
will leave that throne that day. That will be the last day she will be
the Queen of England. So for the Ooni to say he is the son of Jesus is
cap over face, Shame! Shame! Shame! Especially after all the rituals he
has done to become king of Yoruba people. It is literal when they say to
become King in Yoruba land you have to eat the king (the previous
king). Yes he is the king of everybody.
British people are Muslims too, Ifa worshipers too but it doesn’t mean
the Queen will pander to them by going to worship with them. No, but she
respects their rights to freedom and accommodation as the King, that is
your duty but to go and start pandering with them is an embarrassment
to a throne that is older than him, to a throne that is older than his
lineage, to a thrown that is older than anything that he thinks he
knows. There is another king like him, I have forgotten his name, one
little young idiot that goes around saying it is the rituals that our
ancestors have done that is why people are suffering so his throne is
now a Christian, he is a Christian king. I mean it is just nonsense. If
the Ooni can say that, I can see how one little stupid idiot that they
also gave a crown too can say the same rubbish”he said
