I OWE NO ONE ANY APOLOGY FOR KNEELING DOWN TO WORSHIP GOD - OONI OF IFE TELLS CRITICS

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has said he owes nobody any apology for kneeling down to worship God during the thanksgiving service held in his honour at the Paul’s Anglican Church, Ife, after his coronation.

The Ooni said this in statement in Osogbo last week Thursday by the Director of Communications and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Ife, Mr. Moses Olafare

The monarch spoke in reaction to criticisms against him by an online medium that he knelt down to worship God during the church service.

Ogunwusi said it was wrong to equate any king, no matter his status, with the Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth, saying the comment was an attempt to embarrass the throne.

Ogunwusi said since the Almighty God is not Ooni or any king’s mate, he would not stop to worship and revere Him because it was God who enthroned him.

The statement partly read, “It is sacrilege to equate Ooni’risa or other kings to the Almighty God. God is the creator of mankind and it is God that made it possible for the enthronement of any king.

“The attention of Ile Oodua has been drawn to a publication released on Wednesday, December 16, 2015 by an online medium, in which His Imperial Majesty, Ooni’risa and Arole Oodua, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), was criticised for bowing to God.

“God remains the highest, the King of kings who has kept all kings alive and has made it possible for me to be crowned as the king of the source of Yoruba civilisation.

“I have no regret whatsoever for kneeling down to exalt the Almighty God, who did not only create me, but also kept me alive, saw me through all the storms in my life journey and eventually crowned me as the custodian of the Oodua race.

“This act of equating me with the God of gods, of the King of kings and the sole owner of the universe is sacrilege planned to embarrass the throne. My emergence as Oba has been made possible only by the Almighty Olodumare, to whom I remain eternally grateful.”

So you see, I did not only lose personal belongings and equipment, all of which ran into several millions of naira; I was temporary rendered homeless by the fire incident.

“No incident has ever tested my faith in God as much as that particular incident Everything got burnt inside the studio, except a copy of the Holy Bible.

Everywhere I go, the weather is fantastic, the food is good but it’s the people. I find Nigerians especially the ones in Lagos a little more loving and little more supportive.

They are very spiritual as I can connect easily. They love family, they love food and religion. They are very spirited and strong in their beliefs. The fun, the night life and everything about them is incredible.

Another thing I like about Nigerians is they are very fashion savvy and I think that’s how I caught their attention and the bloggers are quite obsessed with my fashion sense and how I put things together.’’

In her words, "Err…I love eating snails. I also perform with them on stage because they’re like a back-up for my band; that’s how it started, but as I began to do it, I learnt something from their philosophy of life, and it’s that we should take things with ease as we are blessed and inspired to, and not to be in so much hurry every time. Being slow is not all that bad, we need to relax sometimes. I have been using this philosophy all my life, and it’s paying off. If something doesn’t happen fast, you should chill because it will definitely happen later.’

WHY MY HUSBAND DOESN’T WANT PEOPLE TO SEE OUR BABY - TIWA SAVAGE

In July 2015, Tiwa Savage and her manager turned husband, Teebillz welcomed a baby boy at a London hospital and they shielded the identity of the baby away from the press and members of the public.

Few hours after Tiwa Savage was delivered of the baby, her husband let out the information via his Instagram page and posted a picture of the baby’s hands with the caption ‘Thank You Jesus’.

In an interview with Genevieve Magazine, the Mavin Records’ first lady explained why they decided to keep the face of the boy away.

‘Well that’s his dad’s decision. Every mother wants everyone to see the picture of her baby. I want everyone to see how cute he is but I understand my husband’s perspective too. He is the head of the house so I have to respect his wishes. Eventually, we will reveal his face but for now, he wants only close family and friends to have the special moment to bond and not share it with the world yet,’ she said.

She also reflected on motherhood so far, recounting how it was hard to bond with her child after he was born.

‘I’m going to be as candid as I can be and Genevieve is the only press I’ve ever told. They say you bond instantly with your baby but I didn’t have that instant connection. I was in a 20-hour labour and just when I was about to push him out, his heart rate dropped, so there was a lot of panic in the room and we were all in tears. Then, when he eventually came out, everyone screamed “congratulations” and they had to put him on my chest to bond. Instead, when they did, I said “he is beautiful, but can I sleep for just one hour?”

‘Thereafter, I was so overwhelmed, that for a week after delivery, I would cry every day. And I don’t know why that happened. The midwives thought I was suffering from depression but I guess a lot of first-time mums have felt that way. I think it is the overwhelming feeling of being responsible for another human being. Now, life is no longer a joke. I cannot do just anything I want. Yet, on the other hand, I am very protective of him. Being a mother has made me like a lioness, and I’m ready to bite anyone’s head off over him.’

I DEMAND AN APOLOGY FROM YVONNE NELSON BECAUSE SHE SPOKE LIKE A BUSH GIRL

Yvonne Nelson seems to be unfortunately having issues with different people lately. Aside the assault she suffered recently which is still being investigated, Ghanaian artiste Shatta Wale is now demanding that she apologizes to him because he felt disrespected by her at the Music Video Awards that was held in Ghana.

According to Shatta, moments before his performance at the event, he left to change costume backstage, where he found Yvonne and comedian Bismark de Joke standing backstage. But when he jokingly asked Bismark why he was standing with his wife, the actress allegedly started yelling at him saying that he allowed his bodyguards to push her while having an interview, thereby creating a scene:

“I went backstage to change to perform where I saw her with Bismark and I jokingly asked Bismark why he was standing with my wife but she started raising her voice creating unnecessary attention”, he said.

According to the artiste, one of his bodyguards mistakenly pushed Yvonne Nelson who was by then granting an interview to another media house, some few steps from the alternative entrance of the hall. Shatta claims he tried calming her down to know what really happened “but she kept acting up”:

“I entered the place without seeing anything that happened behind me so I asked her to stop screaming because she is a lady but she kept on yelling , so I eventually got upset due to her attitude. The way she spoke made me believe the things people say about her, she really spoke like a bush girl, she didn’t look like the Yvonne Nelson I knew. Probably she was upset because she called me some time ago to play a role in her movie, and I told her to deal with my management.”

The award winning artiste said he respects all actresses and therefore will not allow Yvonne to tarnish his image:

“I respect all the actresses in including Nadia Buari, Jackie Appiah and many others and so I won’t entertain any misbehavior from anyone.”
