Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ọjájá II) CFR.
Happy Birthday to the accepted symbol of the Yoruba Culture. A culture found on many continents, especially in Africa, and South America.
Seated on the throne of an ancient civilization most preserved among many others.
From the proverbial land of Ife where mythology says human existence comes from.
Ojaja Otiti arin ki Ile mi titi
Omo Ayikiti Ogun
Jigbini bi ate ileke
Okun Omo losun ku Omo lata
Olori Gbogbo Oba Alade Kabiyesi o.
As you have reached this milestone I admonish you to scale up your efforts and evolution to become a deity, the one that reflects the history of our civilization.
I trust and pray that our ancestors will continue to endure you with more wisdom.
Many Happy Returns.
Otunba Segun Showunmi
