TABOO or A BOO? Is the Oluwo of Iwo denting the Yoruba heritage with swag?

Swaggalicious Oba! Irunmole don hear am😂😂

Iranu ati abasha! His conduct makes sheer mockery of the throne he is sitting on. How their oracle and kingmakers allowed this utter confusion to take place is beyond me. Looks like he even brought back a Jamaican as Olori. Coming to America tings.

He should be careful! They can depose him if care is not taken!!!

I’m not 100% sure but I think he might be an idiot 🙂

I think a better way to manifest his swag would have been to modernize and ‘funky-fy’ yoruba traditional wear, rather than just go completely western which is boring and lacks the individuality he is trying to portray. There are so many Naija designers out there that he could work with to create an original, urbane, trado-modern look to suit his style.

He get swag. God win…

Attired in a suit but still had his head covered

Mba, tufiakwa

Shebi he’s a demigod. He should be able to create his own style.

Ahap. He’d soon tire of his exuberance. Give him max, 2 years or even less.

He’s done nothing wrong,

Wats d big deal in his dressing,those dat abuse him their own dressing is worst than that oba, because u too u ar king in ur family.

Thank you@JIMI

Ile ife lorisun, Oba Adeyeye Enitan is the most swagz person I ever seen, but as soon as he ascend the throne of his 4fathers, he let all that swagz go and embrace our dear Yoruba culture and attire, even my Oba nla, late Oba Aderemi, being an Oba and the same time a governor, he never mock our tradition, he will always dress in his full Dandogo or Agbada wen traveling for a meeting in the white people’s land,. Kabiosi Oba Oluwo, with due respect, pls sir adjust ur ways sir, Esin Oba a je’ko pe o.

We continue to mix a lot of things together. Everything is wrong with his dressing. The puzzle is this, is the traditional Ekunkun the same as Masquerade?

Radical king

One of the features of African customs, culture and traditions is their dynamism. They change gradually in response to global development and modernity. For this reason, I don’t see anything bad in the dressing style of the young monarch. He has only brought glamour and swagger into the ancient Iwo throne in order to enliven, illuminate and radiate the sleepy town with some touch of modernity. It is a welcome idea, I submit !

It Hurts to see the way and manner the yoruba exalted cultures are gradually being eroded. Firstly. In the good olden days, the oracles(Ifa) is usaully consulted for a king to be appointed. And this is followed by all the necessary rites before the crowning of the king and only the Chief Priest has the right to hand over the staff of office to the king. But these days the State Chief Executive is the one that approves the to be king, and mostly the bigger your pockets are the better the chances of being selected. Then the handing over of the staff of office isdone by the same State Chief Executive who has stylishly assumed the duties of the chief priests. These has resulted in the Obas becoming stooges to the State Chief Executive and can not come out boldly to fight for the rights of their subjects all for the fair of being dethroned by those who have enthroned them. What a shame?.
Secondly, in the good olden days when culture was highly respected, an Oba dances to only traditional drum called “GBEDU” But these days Obas have started dancing to all sorts musics, including galala with their crowns, royal horse tails and working sticks in their hands, this is shameful indeed. Some eve stoop so low that the dress casually in the evenings and visit drinking joints. This is a total disgrace to the royal stool. Yoruba Obas should borrow a leaf from the late Oba of Benin, the Omonoba Nedo, Uku Apolopolo of blessed memory, I sincerely want to implore the Ooni of Ife, Arole Oodua to please look into these things, and make necessary corrections and also make these Obas to stop disgracing the exalted royal stools of Oodua children. Long live Arole Oodua, Yoruba rase and Nigeria as a whole

I thank you all for your comments about our newly crowned OBA- OLUWO of IWO, which happens to be my native Land, and also loved very dearly.Your individual comments, both positively and otherwise expressed are appreciated and taken on board. All you need to realize is that we the subjects love him dearly as our OBA, realizing that the beauty of the Cake is in the eating. What matters is ,”His People Love Him and He too loves his people”. You only need to travel round the whole world, and most especially to Europe, and see how Kings/Queens dress nowadays, except on very special occasions. Most of our cultures and traditions have all been blown off course as a result of the so called civilization,with little or no respects to elders, parents and the like; not even to our wonderful Yoruba Language; medium of expression being mainly in English in the whole of Nigeria-shameful!
Politicians have become more powerful than all the Emperors, Kings and Obas worldwide, due one main reason, and that is, The Wind of Change.
Let our charity begin from our personal home, that is Judge yourself before you judge others; a golden rule. We just love Him! Long Reign OLUWO OF IWO.
