Zynab, as a Benin princess Oonirisa can’t be done with you
Omooba Damilare Oloyede
For those out there paid to smear Arole Oduduwa, Olofin Adimula, the Igbakeji Orisa and His Imperial Majesty. I got this to tell you.
H.I.M Oba Enitan Babatunde Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja 2 CAN NEVER be subjected to media trial, slandering, ridicule or rumour milling & spilling. Baba is above that, he is and will forever be.
Zainab Otiti like she love to be addressed now won’t say she was asked to moved out of the palace, if she’s out like she’s peddling then Aafin Oonirisa in Enuwa, Ile-Ife won’t be vacuumed for WHATEVER reason. In Yoruba land, will a woman ever pack out of her matrimonial home and expect encouragement? Thank God#DomesticViolence wasn’t alleged here.
For the records, the well funded, planned, strategized, orchestrated and manipulated media frenzy about Wuraola abandoning the palace is obviously a continued hatred, grudge and ‘bad-belle’ of some elements within the society who were dazed, amused and still in shock of the enthronement of Arole Oduduwa and one can not claim ignorant of the attempt by some ‘domain-less’, packaging monarchs who are just too uncomfortable that Ogunwusi(Baba, e mabinu pe mope yin l’oruko) has entrenched his name in the sand of time as the peace loving, tranquillity embarrassing and development yearning monarch the whole black race loves.
It is just sad, disdainful and very unpalatable that Wuraola is serving their inordinate interests at the moment.
Will the House of Oduduwa ever spin any rumour to attack or allege the ex-Olori in public?
That’s obviously No!
No one on earth lives without excesses or baggage of short comings, why has Zynab decided to make public hers? Why?
On few occasions I have had privileged access to the palace, is Wuraola a perfect human? All respect were accorded her for the stool she’s maritally tied.
Heard Zynab Otiti through spins and ‘exclusive’ reports from Dele Momodu’s Boss Newspaper alleged some overbearing influences of the #YeyeObas, that’s laughable, childish and too pedestrian – one for such to have ever escaped from the mouth of her. Secondly, Uncle Dele should have schooled her and enlightened her as someone who ‘understands’ the Yoruba culture. If I may ask, won’t there be Yeye Oba in the palace if Bob Dee’s choice had emerged in 2015?
Funny, you allege the Yeye Obas are too overbearing and you made them trek under the scorching sun of Lagos from Ikoyi under bridge to Bar Beach Victoria Island, all as they supported your ‘baseless walk against domestic violence’. These aren’t adding up!
Pitifully, Princess(from Benin) Zynab Otiti Obanor officially said she’s moved on using the word ‘done with Ooni’, Kabiyesi is not done with any son or daughter of Oduduwa – there is always a meeting point as Zynab remain Omo Oduduwa till death.
Journalism must be for the peace, development and uplifting of our society – not to the smearing of our heritage. Hope a message would have been passed.
Either we like it or not, the stool, person and paraphernalia of Oonirisa CAN NEVER be ridiculed, Oba won’t be subjected to ambush and some of us won’t be mute, calm and silent in the face of provocation from whatever quarters without us laying bare the unspoken.
