                                                     Today sunday the 16th of October 2016,the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi,covered Allure Vanguard.Three questions caught my attention and the first question is: 1.Are there sacrifices that you wouldn't perform? Answer: Sacrifices that are of evil I will not perform.But the ones that are nature based,why not? If you go to a church or mosque,they use frankincense; we use it in the traditional way.We call it turari.Catholics use the Rosary,Muslims use the Tesibai.We use opele.It is the same; one is just packaged more than the other. 2. Are there things that have changed about you since becoming the Ooni? Answer: A lot of things have changed about me.Now,to the Glory of God,I know the truth.And,the truth is that our culture is not demonic.What was demonic about it was that our ancestors used it in demonic ways.Fortunately,lot of people tapped into it.All the inventions are tied to all the deities in Africa.Name any invent

WOMEN RISING IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR PRESIDENT'S COMMENT-UDO OKONJO.{PHOTO}.

Image
                       Although the abuse was palpable...President Buhari's choice to remove the first lady's office when he was sworn in was more a reflection of his ideology about women and their place than about curbing the excesses of the office of the First Lady.Truly sad about what he said regarding his wife's place to an international audience especially while standing before a powerful woman like Angela Merkel.The comments takes us back centuries but many Nigerian woman are now too far advanced to be held back by this flawed ideology about a woman's place.While we respect the president as Nigeria's leader,he can't tell us or our daughters where we belong.Let him tell that to those over whom He has control.We women are Riding! And neither President Buhari nor Trump can stop it!#WomenRising ! #WomenMatterbeyondthekitchen. Udo Okonjo For: IWOW Network October 15/16.
