Nigerians Blasted New “Ooni Ogunwusi” For Kneeling Down In Church

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. ‘
‘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.
