Adding that he is committed to ensuring unity among traditional rulers in the land. Oba Ogunwusi made this known through the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace on Wednesday. Oba Ogunwusi said:
“Nobody should castigate anybody” for doing what he did because of the position he holds and because of his age… Ooni would not stop to accord his colleagues and every category of people the respect they deserve.
The Ooni of Ife is not ready to make any official statement over what happened between him and the Oba of Lagos. He still holds Oba Akiolu in high esteem and what happened yesterday will not stop the Ooni from holding him in high esteem”

Shame on those people taking side. The Yoruba culture is very complexes. Only Igbo don't respect their elders. Thanks Oni of ife.
Matured mind..🖒. Rilwan has always been a rascal n a lunatic. Very arrogant and erratic.

That's what they call maturity... dee

Idiot bastard, you talk like someone who's mother was absent during your formative years, you pick words that you have no inkling what they actually mean and you use them. It's your father if you had any,which I doubt seriously that is erratic and lunacy is in your entire generation,or how else do one explain your penchant for the continuous rubbish you hv now been known to vomit??? And to think that i was getting irritated with the way people were bashing your foolish head. Now I can see y. No one likes what the Oba did but must you use invectives, goat?? You were not trained at all. I pity your husband.
Mumu. Unecessary respect won't let yorubas be great. Igbos respect who deserve it..and that what is important in any great civilisation. Why not go abroad and look for who will respect you when you behave like crap. Respect my foot.
Well spoken
Kabiyesi Oba alayeluwa, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, Ooni of Ife. This office is the highest among the Obas in Oduduwa kingdom. Pls, dont reduce this office supremacy because of the generation coming. Pls sir, respect your office and let every obas repect the throne.

What a lousy hasty conclusion!
Matured mind

Wisdom dey said is nt in age. Ooni of ife, kudos to u 4ur display of maturity.
@Anonymous, What has Ibos got to do with this? So many Ibos took sides with Ooni. He had to say what he said because of his kind of person. He knew that incident has gone viral, so he needs to choose his words. I like him even though I am not a yoruba, he is a free spirited and minded Ooni. He is not pompous neither is he arrogant. He does his things in a modern way. If you are talking of tradition or respect, from the history of Ife people, there would have been war if it were in the olden days. so what are you blabbing about. Go get a life and brain cos you dont have one dummy.
Shut up u bonzo. Yoruba my ass. D gentle man is educated & knows what is right & wrong jare unlike u dementedly judgemental vulture . Ode oshi....ofugbuolam
You are a son or a daughter of a basted. What has Igbo to do with this topic.
Let's learn to rise above and take the high road, just as the royal father has done. Well-done sir.
Ask that fool oooo.
He's well brought up that's all. Long live the Ooni of Ike! God bless you.
the castrated goat who mentioned igbos, is nothing but the perfect description for a product of premature ejaculation...he's an uncircumcised prick without a head. may that mediaval device you used in typing that "IGBOs" cost you your miserable shitty life...

As a yoruba man from ondo state.The hairachy of obas states that oba of ife is the king to all the kings in yoruba land.Oba Akiolu needs to reminded of that
It's not her fault, she's wasn't raised, she was dragged up. You just have to read deeper into the rubbish she writes, to realise she is several agbalumos short of a dozen.
Oba Akiolu is a very bitter man.
Honestly, I wish the Igbos were as united as they are online, than they are offline..Biafra would have been achieved long ago..
Can't no we just comment without trading insults.
The point is that Igbos should shut up! You can't take sides or comment when Ur are ignorant.you will just appear foolish and you won't even know it.
Ooni has shown that maturity is not by age
If i am Oni of Ife, i wont greet Oba of Lagos again. The Lagos Oba is such an unruly classless local man
What has this got to do with the igbos? Some of you people just want to comment, it's not a do or die thing to comment just read and scroll pass and stop constituting stupidity.
Ewo youruba like you.
long live the ooni of ife great leader great king education is so important in human interaction. The guy in Lagos is just beefing the ooni, ooni fine pass am, ooni get dough pass am ooni is damn educated and has charismatic charm and mad swagger ooni is an international figure ooni carry go
Bibire ko se fowora oti daju.
Kaaaabiyesi Arole Odua.
Eni a Biire niyin Sir.
OBA RILWAN AKINOLU NA AGBAYA
I'm sorry to say this, but the Ooni of Ife just disrespected his office with this comment. If you don't understand and respect your office, how do you expect others to. He should not have made this statement, people can speculate and make their comments, but the matter should be resolved at the throne room and not trying to raise your morals on social media...
Maybe Igbo told Akiolu to misbehave.
its true this could have been bloody in the past. however, we are in modern age and age is amongst the criteria for respect which Ooni is pointing. likewise Ooni's position accords respect. The Lagos Oba may have a reason but he should also release a statement so that it wont result in a cold war. the ruler does not respect age if he can withstand the turmoil like the N korean president.
