Mixed grill: “A gradual destruction of Yoruba heritage is in full swing.” “No, the man of GOD is above kings.” Details of what people said.
The pictures of Soun of Ogbomoso, Ghandi Olaoye, Kneeling down before General overseer of Redeemed Christians Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has surfaced in the internet, Stiring controversy among the people.
Ghandi, a retired pastor at the RCCG, who was crowned Soun of Ogbomoso months ago, has earlier said that he got pastor Adeboye’s blessing before ascending the throne of his forefathers.
Meeting Adeboye again during a Christian function at the ancient town, Oba Adeoye knelt down before the cleric for prayer, a decision that has attracted condemnation and commendations from commentators on the social media.
While the popular social media critic, Odolaye Baa waki Aremu; captioned the picture as radarada (disgusting), Jones Omotunde Fayose wrote a lengthy article, where he described the scene as a “gradual destruction of Yoruba heritage in full swing.”
He wrote; The gradual destruction of Yoruba heritage is in full swing. And at the fore are Yoruba pastors…men of foreign Gods. Pastor Adeboye knows exactly what he’s doing here. This imagery is to edify his ego and bragging right, that kings kneel before him. It is not about Christ. This is the gradual destruction of the Yoruba race and we will all eventually suffer the consequences.
“The likes of Pastor Adeboye do not mean well for Yoruba people. He has spent most of his Christian life destroying and castigating the practices and beliefs of our fore fathers, and has become very wealthy doing it. He has built a considerable amount of unsuspecting following – people the are not versed in history, and have been programed to succumb to religious thinking and ideology. He has done so well by demonizing our forefathers, classified them as evil and unworthy.

“Pastor Adeboye is a cancer to Yoruba people. His actions are deliberate. The end goal is the amassing of wealth and fame. He lacks the intelligence of history and culture. And to the unsuspecting, unintelligent Yoruba Christians, thinking this is edifying Christ, no it isn’t. It is simply destroying the core foundation of Yoruba identity and foundational practices.
“The new Soun of Ogbomosho is unworthy of Crown on his head, and the throne he sits.”
