The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwunsi Ojaja II, has dissociated himself from claims that he would honour former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, with a traditional title.
In a tweet, Garba had announced that the monarch would bestow on him the title of Aare Atunluse of Oodua on May 1, 2021.
While sharing a letter of invitation to the event World Omoluabi Day Festival organised by the Igbimo Apapo Yoruba Lagbaye, the former presidential aspirant said Ooni found him “worthy of the title of Aare Atunluse Oodua Award of Honor to be conferred on the 3rd World Omoluabi day 1st May 2021.”

The word ‘vaccine’ sounds like poison to many Nigerians. The most common allegation making the rounds is that it is a ploy by the pharmaceutical industry and their sponsors “to make money and depopulate Africa.”
For this reason, more and more Nigerians are turning to herbal medicine, to ‘prevent’ the spread of Covid-19 despite having not proven to be a remedy for the pandemic which has claimed close to two million lives world-wide.
According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Covid-19 cases in Nigeria have surpassed 100,000. On January 13, 2020 alone, 1398 new cases and nine deaths were recorded in the country. At the time of filing this report, total cases were 103,000 with 1,373 deaths.
