The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has cleared the air on the religion he practiced after kneeling down during his coronation in July last year to thank God, proceeded to call Jesus Christ his father, the action that earned him massive backlash on social media.
In a recent interview with the Osasu show, the Ooni said he has been able to discover that all religions “are one,” saying that there is only one God being worshipped in different ways.
He made it clear that he is a traditionalist, born into a Christian family and a practicing Muslim as well.
“I’m not a Christian alone, I can be called a Muslim too. I practice all the religion very well.
” I go to the mosque to pray, I attend church services. Yes I am a traditionalist as well.”
“Yes, You Are Correct That I Was Born A Christian. But The Only One You Didn’t Add Is I Am A Practicing Muslim As Well.
“And I Will Tell You Something That People Don’t Understand: Every Religion Is One, But We Have A Different Perspective To These Different Religions, Because 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 Traditional Religion. Nothing. It Is The Western World That (Demonised It).” [myad]
