Omo, Naija no go fit sleep on top dis matter wey Gani Adams don drop! Na im dey pull ear for Yoruba traditional rulers wey dey fight among dem sef. E don reach time to jettison all dis supremacy wahala wey fit scatter everything for Yorubaland.
For di recent Oodua Festival wey happen for Ile-Ife, Gani Adams wey be Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, don shout say dis disunity wey dey waka among di Obas no be am at all. E dey vex say if dis matter no change, e go affect di culture and development of Yoruba people. Na wetin dem go gain from dis gbas-gbos? Nothing! Make dem put head together and find solution.
Gani talk am clear: “My people, dis quarrel no dey sweet at all. We fit dey clash for personal interest, but una no go forget say na unity we need to fight against outside wahala.” Him urge di traditional rulers to dey use one voice, because na only united front go fit carry dem far.
Di governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, wey send representative to di festival, also talk say make di Osun people wey dey abroad come join body to boost their tourist sites. E don loud say government alone no fit carry di load, so dem need diaspora support to push tourism for di state.
Oba Idowu Adediwura wey dey represent Ooni of Ife also talk say Southwest governors suppose join Adams hand to chase criminals comot from Yorubaland. E get as things dey hot lately among di Obas, and if dem no fit resolve dis wahala, e fit turn jam-jam for di people.
Na so Ooni and Alaafin don dey gist for public since one wahala wey concern chieftaincy title comot. Gani Adams don appeal for peace between Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi and Alaafin Abimbola Owoade. Dem dey clash because of di Okanlomo of Oodua title wey Ooni give business man, Dotun Sanusi. Alaafin don drop ultimatum say make Ooni return di title or wahala go full ground!
But Ooni spokesman don clear am say dem no go follow dis kind threats. E be like say di matter don pass dem ear, as dem don leave am for public discussion. People dey fear say if dis fight no stop, e fit turn di Yoruba nation upside down.
A dem dey gather all dis kings, make dem remember say di essence of their crowning na to represent di people, no be for personal aggrandisement. Na by coming together sabi who dem be as Yoruba man! Make dem use di cultural heritage as road map to development and progress. Yoruba people dey look up to dem for guidance, no go make dis kind issue dem to lose track!
