Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu I, Oluwo of IwolandThe traditional institution is an integral system of Nigerian society, as it accommodates religious tenets, political principles, and social ethics, as well as cultural values.
Baba Obasanjo is a well-cultured man. He had come here before and prostrated before me. I think what happened in that place was a personal issue between him and a king who talked about him. And Baba didn’t know where to scold that king and I don’t think he could have done that. So, he decided to scold him right there. Obasanjo is a very good man and well-respected. He respects traditional institutions too. So, that’s why I came out and did what I did, I needed to do that at that time.
Again, when you get to a position, talk about what you see. I’ve written a book which is titled: “Code of Kings”. The next one I’m writing is “Our Origin” because we are experienced now. Today, with the wisdom of God, I only submit to God Almighty. We don’t go through the dead to worship the powerful creator. Adam didn’t go to the dead to talk to the living God. The dead don’t talk anymore. So as a living person, I don’t go through my fathers who were dead.
Superstitions are limits and they limit us as humans. And it is my job as a king of the people that is close to the people. It’s not the job of the government. It is the job of a king to sensitise and change the mindsets and remove all the scare tactics. All we want to do is talk about voodoo that does bad, a voodoo that will kill you. We are the ones that have gods that kill. Ogun a pa e ; Sango a pa e .
I was going to come to your kind of dress. What drives your fashion style? Is it your perspective of rewriting the narrative? I want to ask, who is the traditionalist? A traditionalist is someone who wears his clothes, someone who practises the asa and ise. When you came in here, you prostrated. People want to define traditionalists as people who worship deities. We are not deity worshipers. We are the Yoruba people who worship Olodumare. Odu is all the codes of life. It is the Yoruba word. It is not any deity’s word. It is not Ifa word. It encompasses everything.
