The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi is of the opinion that peace will reign in Nigeria.
He revealed this at the grand-finale of the World Ifa Festival held in his palace on Sunday in Ile-Ife.
He disclosed that the Ifa Festival is a sign of the start of a new calendar year.
His words, “I’m happy that our culture is still thriving despite stiff opposition, the thought of many is that, we do not believe in God.
“Ifa corpus is the bedrock of life because no mortal can survive on this planet earth without leaves and herbs.
“We are not in contention with anybody simply because we know that God is Supreme and He will not share His glory with anybody”
“The message is simply that : In this year; we would witness peace all round. There shall be no war,”
I was highly elated because God has visited our land to heal all the wounds and straighten the rough edges.
“You can see adherents from Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina and USA who are here to celebrate the festival.
“With the Ifa festival that ushers us into another year, it’s a new dawn. By August /September, there will be new yam to be followed by Olojo Festival which is a world festival.
“This is to tell us that before the advent of the whites, we had our ways of doing things meticulously.”
