Ooni takes Love, Unity and Charitable Acts to a New Level…………………

August 20, 2018

The Ooni of Ife, H.I.M Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi (Ojaja II) has taken his bid for peace, love, unity and charitable act to a new level. If permitted to adjudge, I will call this a step in the right and novel direction.

Ooni Ogunwusi is one of the foremost Nigerian monarch and Co-chairman of the Nigeria Council of Traditional rulers. Since his ascension to the throne in 2015, he is characterised as a great nation builder considering giant strides taken by him to preach and practice ‘Unity and Love’ within and outside the shores of Nigeria.

He has touched lives with his charitable acts and currently the number one projector of African culture and heritage all over the world. The House of Oduduwa Foundation is the parent structure often used, among other as machinery to achieve these aims.
H.I.M is often described as a cheerful giver by people, most of whom he has touched their lives both materially or financially. Asides from supporting the less privileged, the prestigious monarch is notable for presenting African artefacts to most, if not all of his elite guests, either at his palace or while visiting within and outside the country. Such artefacts includes: bronze-heads, wooden crafts, metal sculptures, fabrics and accessories from all over Africa.

According to H.I.M, those crafts were stolen treasures from Africa and they mean a lot to our people. The artefacts are significant as they represent deities revered and worship in African traditional settings. Taking or stealing them at that point in time means separating the people from their gods and belief which contravene their right to religious worship and association.
The highly revered monarch is of the opinion that, for peace and unity to reign among nations of the world, there must be forgiveness and restitution. It may be difficult for those items to be returned to their original owners but Africans owe those who stole from them forgiveness. Severing them from their property caused them hardship during the period. No amount of apologies could heal such memory, but we must forge ahead to permanently forgive in order to maintain world peace, love and unity.

In furtherance to forgiveness and towards restitution between nations of the world, and at the same time promoting African’s cultural-heritage and ingenuity, H.I.M Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi is commencing a promotion of these arts and crafts. Most of these arts are now being produced locally in Ile-Ife and neighbouring communities in large quantities. These artefacts which are characterised as ostentatious goods are now used as gifts and interior home decorations across the globe.

Therefore, these arts and crafts will soon hit the international market again; this time around, they shall be sold on auctions and their proceeds shall go to charitable causes within the formerly colonized states, especially African countries where some masses are suffering and need all the support they can get at this point in time. Proceeds from the stock shall be used to support the basic needs of people and communities; food & clothing banks, baby rescue response bank, homelessness and educational provisions among others are some of the essential provisions that this cause shall fend.

What more restitution is greater than this?
The revered monarch is dedicated to telling African stories to Africans all over the world, as well as people of other races. Ooni Ogunwusi is poised to project black civilisation/globalisation into world consciousness; history has it that civilisation emanated from Africa.
H.I.M shall be using one of his machinery named TellAfrica as machinery to drive this novel idea. TellAfrica is an initiative of Ooni Ogunwusi, a known information hub in Nigeria and online, notable for connecting Africans all over the world to the realisation of who we truly are and not what we think or other races think we are.

We are big, strong, reliable and intellectually sound nation.
Africa and Africans should be celebrated!
Our dates and venue and partners for the events shall soon be announced.
Gbemisola Bisi-Taiwo.

The hotel, a modern and tastefully furnished establishment, was unveiled on December 22nd amidst a wave of excitement from his followers and supporters.

Taking to his X page a few days prior to the launch, Geh Geh teased his fans with the announcement, hinting at the grand opening. True to his word, the influencer shared clips from the event, including a moment where his pastor prayed over the establishment during its official dedication.

The event was attended by friends, family, and well-wishers, who gathered to celebrate his achievement. Online reactions, however, have been a mix of admiration, skepticism, and humor as netizens took to social media to share their thoughts on Geh Geh’s latest accomplishment.

Social Media Reactions

The news of Geh Geh’s hotel opening has sparked lively conversations across social platforms. Some users congratulated him on his success, while others questioned the legitimacy of his wealth and mocked the idea of a pastor blessing a hotel.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
