Oranmiyan The Great, a Prince:
After several years on the throne, Alaafin Oranmiyan abdicated the throne(succeeded by Ajaka his son) and returned home(Ile-Ife), ousted the then Ooni Alayemore and mounted the sacred throne of Oduduwa as the Ooni of Ife.
Ooni Alayemore who had earlier succeeded his father Ooni Obalufon Ogbogbodirin later went to establish his new kingdoms; Efon Alaaye, Ido Osun & several others across Oodua land where his descendants are the monarchs till date.
Omooba Ginuwa, a Benin prince left the palace of his father Omo N'Oba N'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo to establish the throne of Olu of Warri where he ruled over the Iwere(Warri) people of Itsekiri who had earlier migrated from Ile-Ife the ancestral home for all descendants of Oduduwa worldwide and some other parts of what is today known as Yorubaland dwelling as riverine communities but without a kingship system.
Glory be to the Almighty Olodumare, the Yorubaness of the Itsekiri nation has been reaffirmed by the predestined emergence of the young, dynamic, handsome, highly civilized, well educated and royaly brought up Omooba Tsola Emiko as the new Olu of Warri publicly presented to the joyous Iwere(Itsekiri) people recently at the Ode Itsekiri palace on the Island of Warri fatherly witnessed by The Arole Oduduwa Olofin Adimula, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife represented by the Oore of Otun-Ekiti, HRM, Oba Adekunle Adeagbo & Olubosin of Ifetedo, HRM, Oba Akinola Akinrera.
Special thanks to one of our finest patriots and super ideologue as far as Oduduwa movement is concerned Comrade Wale Adeoye who interfaced tactically to ensure the timely representation of the Arole Oduduwa Ooni'risa on behalf of the Yoruba race, even when it seemed impossible. He called me at about 4pm on that day "Comrade! Comrade! Comrade! Baba(Ooni) must honour the request of our Itsekiri kinsmen by sending a powerful delegation to Warri 10am tomorrow morning ooooo". "Aaaaaah! Egbon! and you are just telling me this? Warri is far oooo!". I responded with exclamation. "No no no, a letter had much earlier been sent to Baba's Email, I guess he didn't see it. Ooni is the overall natural father of our race, Ile-Ife is our source, Itsekiri is from our race and Baba must do it in the larger interest of our race". The dogged Wale Adeoye insisted. I swiftly got in touch with the Arole Oodua himself, our father who would never handle Yoruba's interest with levity. Baba swung into actions, several phone calls were made, the two great patriotic Yoruba monarchs landed in Warri and the rest is history.
IMPOSSIBILITY IS NOT IN MY DICTIONARY - Ooni Ogunwusi says.
Prince YEMI EMIKO, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Mr Amaju Pinnick(NFF & FIFA) & the Veteran Broadcaster, Mr Patrick Doyle for speaking up bluntly & objectively on the Yorubaness of Itsekiri nation.
The kingmaker, princes, princesses and the entire Itsekiri people worldwide commendably stood for Justice solidly behind Omooba Tsola Emiko.
President of Itsekiri Youth National Youth Council(INYC), Comrade Weyinmi Agbateyinwo did great mobilizations.
