Coming to a logical conclusion, His Imperial Majesty Olofin Adimula, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi is more than just a king. His omoluwabi demeanor and graceful gait command respect across Yoruba land. Apart from sitting on the highly revered throne as the representative of Oduduwa; ever since he was handed the staff of office as the 51st Ooni of Ife; there has been tremendous change across Yoruba land both home and in the diaspora. Despite the amount of influence he wields in the country, he remains one of the most humble monarchs Nigeria has ever produced. Under his reign, his Ile-Ife palace has been a mecca of sort for all sundry has he thrown his gate open.
Like his name Enitan meaning (an individual with a deep story), his sojourn to kingship remains a mystery only God can unravel. If a soothsayer had told him years ago he would be occupying such a revered position he would have laughed over it with a wave of a hand. His anointing as Ooni is divine which is the main reason he has flourished within a short while. The Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka has never for once disappointed the entire Yoruba race with his giant strides in putting the Yoruba culture and tradition on the world map. After his emergence as Ooni; he resuscitated and repackaged all the dead cultural festivals. He is a bridge-builder who has broken many impeccable records within his 5 years reign. Despite numerous aspersions and disparaging comments meted on him as regards his personal life, with a smile on his face he constantly prays for his detractors. He has remained unperturbed focusing more on working to make sure the Yoruba race recovers its lost glory.
