SEUN KUTI: I Was Disappointed In Ooni Of Ife For Claiming Jesus Was His Father In The U.S

It’s a shame for the Ooni of Ife to say Jesus is his father,” Seun Kuti .

Earlier in the year, the Ooni of Ife claimed Jesus Christ is his father, a declaration that generated divided opinions. Now Seun Kuti is saying it’s a shame for him to say that. .

Here is the full transcript of his response: Its just a shame. Its just like saying that the Queen of England says the Pope is her father. If she says she no longer believes in the Anglican church of England and Archbishop of Canterbury and she swears allegiance to the Pope who is a fellow christian but a catholic, she will leave that throne that day.

That will be the last day she will be the Queen of England. So for the Ooni to say he is the son of Jesus is cap over face, Shame! Shame! Shame! Especially after all the rituals he has done to become king of Yoruba people. It is literal when they say to become King in Yoruba land you have to eat the king (the previous king). .

Yes he is the king of everybody. British people are Muslims too, Ifa worshipers too but it doesn’t mean the Queen will pander to them by going to worship with them. No, but she respects their rights to freedom and accommodation as the King.
That is your duty but to go and start pandering with them is an embarrassment to a throne that is older than him, to a throne that is older than his lineage, to a thrown that is older than anything that he thinks he knows.
There is another king like him, I have forgotten his name, one little young idiot that goes around saying it is the rituals that our ancestors have done that is why people are suffering so his throne is now a Christian, he is a Christian king. I mean it is just nonsense. If the Ooni can say that, I can see why one little stupid idiot that they also gave a crown too can say the same rubbish.”
