“My Desire Is To Put God In Heart Of Everyone”-Oluwo …Says Crowns Are Mere Symbols

“There is one God that we serve. You don’t need to reach Him through an Ekiti god, nor do you need an Agemo to reach Him. Everyone can access God directly”

Oluwo of Iwoland, HRM Oba Abdurosheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu 1, has declared that his desire is to win the heart of everyone for God.

Oluwo who spoke in an interview with Saturday Punch said “my desired legacy is to put Olodumare in the heart of everyone.

“There is one God that we serve. You don’t need to reach Him through an Ekiti god, nor do you need an Agemo to reach Him. Everyone can access God directly. If you want to know about God, you can go to kings who don’t worship deities. My legacy is to introduce God to everyone I meet. Anywhere I promote God, people in that area will know me.

“This universe is God’s company, and He makes kings like executive officers, so they have to pay allegiance back to Him, not idols. Kings have no business worshipping idols or deities. You can’t describe Yoruba people as Christians, Muslims, or idol worshippers, but by their culture, which includes language, greetings, dress, music, and dancing.

On why he opened his head which is against the tradition in Yorubaland, Oluwo said the crowns are mere symbols.

The monarch who prides himself as ‘ alashe Lori orisha’ meaning the one who has power over idols says ” The crowns that kings wear are mere symbols, but the invisible crowns are the authority that God gives to kings. It is those with insight who see the invisible crowns that God places on the heads of kings. Even if I don’t wear a physical crown, there is a special crown from God on my head. I aspire to be a great king, and my name will be remembered like King Solomon or David.

“I aim to leave a greater legacy than them. So when I went to Saudi Arabia to perform Tawaf around the Kaaba without covering my head, it was in obedience to God. Let people keep their superstitions to themselves. This is acceptable to my God.I respect and serve God. I have business with God, not with people. I went to Hajj to fulfil one of the pillars of Islam.

“Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. When we go there, we don’t wear clothes, caps, shoes, or underwear. Some presidents were there doing the same thing. Let me tell you, I’m not ashamed of the God that I serve. People can be very ignorant, so I don’t listen to or read their comments. I do what works for me and serve God. I ignore the noise in the market because it can distract you. For example, if you go to the market to buy mangoes and fishmongers are calling you, if you’re not careful, you’ll lose focus on why you came to the market. People are so ignorant.”
