The Academic Staff Union of Universities' ongoing strike will be the focus of the annual seven-day seclusion that kicks off the Olojo celebration, according to Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife (ASUU). Remember how the strike had halted academic activities at the institutions across the country.
On his way out of the Ile Oodua Palace of Ife, Ooni, who was dressed in his customary white traditional clothing laced with vibrant old beads, informed journalists of this. Olojo celebration strongly suggests both the day of the first dawn on earth and God's creation. All Oduduwa descendants worldwide gather at Ile-Ife to celebrate this day every year.
The traditional head of state declared that he would also use the deeply spiritual time alone to "make contact with God Almighty to resolve all concerns in Nigeria as the country prepares for the general election next year."
In order to prevent the impending rage of Nigerian youths, according to Ogunwusi, who also serves as co-chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN), government must urgently put an end to the ASUU strike.
Youths are angry, and nobody can blame them for that, he remarked. Just consider how long they have been absent from school.
Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, often known as Jájá II, is the 51st and current Ooni of Ife. He was born on October 17, 1974. He is the Yoruba kingdom of Ile-traditional Ife's monarch. In 2015, he succeeded the late Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the 50th Ooni of Ife, to the throne.
Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, son of Prince John Oluropo Ogunwusi and Princess Margaret Wuraola Sidikatu Abegbe Ogunwusi, was born in Ibadan, Oyo State. He is a member of the Royal House of Giesi, one of the four royal families of the House of Oranmiyan. Prince Joseph Olagbaju Adewole Ogunwusi was his paternal grandpa. His maternal grandfather was bá ráygbà (also known as Ooni Orarigba or Orasigba) jájá I, the 44th Ooni of Ife who ruled from 1878 to 1880. He is descended from ni Lajodogun through him, who is descended from Ooni Agbedegbede, who was descended from Ooni Giesi, the founder of the Giesi royal House. Lajodogun was the son of ni Lajamisan (also known as Lajemisin), who in turn was the legendary Oyo Empire's Oranmiyan's great-grandson. Ba'jájá II is descended from Odùdùwà, one of the Early kings of Ilé If, as Oranmiyan was the son or grandchild of the first Ooni of Ife, Oduduwa. His mother gave him the name Enitan, while his grandpa gave him the name Adeyeye, which means "the crown befits the throne." It was claimed that his birth had been foreseen years before he was conceived. He is the fifth child of a seven-person family.
On October 26, 2015, the Giesi Ruling House of Ile-Ife chose Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi from among the natives who were also heirs to the throne. On December 7, 2015, he welcomed his office's personnel. According to one account, he is a "astute entrepreneur driven by the desire to transform impossibilities into possibilities. The Yoruba people's spiritual leader, Oba Ogunwusi, is now charged with the duty of praying to God and the rà on behalf of his people and the entire world at festivals like Olojo.
