OPINIONS - Posted on: 22nd Sep. 2021 at 11:08AM
The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has berated Yoruba Obas for holding on to ancient deities as part of their tradition and keeping their images in the palace.
Speaking at a deliverance crusade by the Prayer Center Church of God (PCCG) in Iwo, the Oba, who once refer to himself as thr Emir of Yorubaland said the following:
"Who is Sango, Oya, Ogun, Osun and others before God?
"What is the supreme being that all these deities worshipped?
"Our forefathers who have reigned as king throughout the Yoruba race misled everybody. They were wrong. This position of king doesn’t have any connection with deities. The position should not have any meeting point with deities and idols....
"The king that refuses to dump idols and deities will not know rest. The trouble you are all facing now, the Yoruba kings are responsible for them all. God is the king, that means the palace where the king lives should be what? The only enemy and rival of God in that palace is the deities or idols that stay in the palace with the king.
"I know you are all from different towns. The leader, driver, head of a town who give orders and directives now harbors idols or deities in the palace that is originally owned by God, what will be the outcome, won’t they be fighting?
"That means the place of authority of your towns, there is trouble, what do you think will be the resultant effect on the subjects? You are in trouble already. Don’t berate my stand on this issue, you need to yield to my counsel. Idols must not be in a king’s palace. Go and tell the kings. You married a wife and she brought another man to the house, how would it be? That is what the kings in Yorubaland are doing to God. Yet, they are looking for God’s blessing.
"God is here to clear away all idols from the land. What you all need to do is that you are competing to take out idols away from the land. Make sure idols are perished in the land with the help of the pastors. Idols are troubling Yorubaland, before the power can shift to Yorubaland we have to stop idol worshipping.
"Do you know where the power of Nigeria is today? It is the North because they detest idol worshipping. They made the foundation of those thrones to be God, you cannot see any idols around them. Idol is a strange religion in Yorubaland. God pronounced that we should worship him in the garden of Eden when he instructed Adam to be worshipping him. It will not be well with deities and idols. They are ruined. Stop visiting shrines."
