You contested against 40 other princes of Iwo but you emerged winner. Did Ifa pick you at that time?
Oluwo: Tell me one king that Ifa picked in Yoruba land. The person who is picked by the governor is the one God has ordained to be the king.
There is no Oba in Yoruba land that will say Ifa picked him. It is after the governor picked you that you now become a king.
Ifa doesn’t have any power over the governor. May be you watch too much Nollywood movies.
Even during our forefathers, they would make the most powerful person at that time king. At that time, I didn’t even know the governor because I had just returned from Canada but I told other contestants who were far richer and popular then that I was the next king even if you know Barack Obama and the governor, it would not change the fact that I was going to be the next Oluwo.
