Akinruntan had recently in his palace in Ugbo community, Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State, crowned three Diaspora-based Nigerians as Yoruba Obas.
Rather, he hailed the action of the Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom as a proactive sign of his commitment to the preservation of the Yoruba culture, both at home and in the Diaspora. “It is apposite to say that it is sacrilegious in Yorubaland for a chief like Adams to start querying or denigrating the office of any Yoruba king, talk more of a highly revered monarch like Olugbo.
“Is he more Yoruba than those of us in the Diaspora or is it a crime to be in the Diaspora as a Yoruba son? Did he contribute anything to our relocation to the Diaspora for him to be acting like our caregiver?
You can only be an Oba in the land of your ancestors, that is 'Your Home land'. Are Georgia, Ireland and Liberia ancestral home land of the 'crowned Diaspora Obas'?. Is it possible to be a king in another man's land?. This does not add up at all. It is not right.
The guy needs some bribe.
