Many Nigerians have taken to the social media to
express their disgust at the action of the newly-crowned Ooni of Ife who
was pictured kneeling in a church. They say it is an affront and
rubbishing of the traditional African religion which he is supposed to
defend, practise and uphold. On the flip side, some others have blasted
him for mixing Christianity with traditional African religions.Somebody reatcing to the action of the Ooni of Ife wrote this
‘The Queen of England from the lands who brought you
Christianity doesn’t kneel in the church of England nor does she kneel
for the god or Jesus, but the Ooni of Ife, a sacred lineage and position
that preceded that of England, preceded Christianity now feels the need
to insult our culture, people, intelligence and dignity by kneeling in
some church! This is just disgusting!”- Teekay Arabambi Akin
