Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, says he is a
Christian, a practising Muslim, and a traditionalist,
serving one God.
Speaking to Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show , the
monarch said he was born a Christian, but has seen
the light that all religions serve one God.
“I am not a Christian alone, I can be called a Muslim
too; I practice all the religions very well,” the king said.
“I go to the mosque to pray, I go to the church for
service. Yes, you are correct, I’m a traditionalist. Yes,
you are correct, born a Christian, but the only one you
didn’t add is that I am also a practising Muslim as
well.
“I will tell you something that people don’t understand
is that every religion is one, but we have a different
perspectives to the different religions.”
The 42-year old accountant, who beat 20 others to
the royal stool, says there is nothing demonic about
the African or Nigerian traditional religions.
“God is one, unitary God and for me, I have been able
to see the light that there is nothing that is demonic in
our ancient tradition and religion. Nothing! It is the
western world that painted it to be demonic.”
