A bow of reverence to the custodian of Yoruba culture and the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II). As a young and lustrous traditional ruler, Oba Ogunwusi is an advocate for the empowerment and emancipation of women and young people. Upon his ascension to the throne in 2015, the real estate developer has transformed Ile-Ife into a tourist zone, with changes including the beautification, redesign and re-construction of the ancient city, which is said to be the cradle of Yoruba race.
Oba Ogunwusi is also a renowned philanthropist who is committed to humanity and an advocate for the less privileged. He has granted support over the years through the House of Oduduwa Foundation and, recently, through Hopes Alive Initiative.
As a learned traditional ruler with deep academic excellence, Oba Ogunwusi is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria. He is also an Associate Accounting Technician. He is also a certified member of the Institute of Directors and a member of the Global Real Estate Institute.
The 51st Ooni of Ife is the Chancellor at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
This custodian of Yoruba culture can be described as the nexus of African culture with the new industrial revolution. In essence, Oba Ogunwusi is western in look, but a true young, gifted, and Black man in disposition.
May this new year bless you with more good fortunes that abound with the throne.
Long live the king!
Long live Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi!!
Cheers to beautiful side of life?
