According to Dr Doyin Okupe on his facebook post tagged,”The Ooni and Oba of Lagos Incidence,” he stated thus:
I have watched on video, with pain and Consternation the incidence that happened between our two very foremost and highly revered traditional rulers.
It is regrettable and a cause for great concern for we Yoruba people.
But as our elders say ” Okun ki iwo ruru, ki awa ruru.” This matter is now, also as they say ” Iso inu eku, a ma my mo ara ni “
Yoruba son’s and daughters should not give property or broadcast this matter too much. “Ete Awo Ete Ogberi”
It has happened it has happened. ” Owo eni ni a fi ntun iwa eni se “
Our elders will settle this matter amicably. “Oro die ni a ma nso fun omoluwabi ti o ba de Inu ‘re, a di odindi.
All our Yoruba traditional institutions are sub deities and founded on ancient and divine foundations and culture. We cannot afford to rubbish any publicly. We are a foremost civilized race in Africa and hence cannot publicly bring opprobrium to desecrate our revered institutions. We have from time immemorial developed internal mechanisms for settling our thorny issues. This is the high point of Yoruba culture.
I appeal to all true son’s and daughters of Yoruba to desist henceforth from further public pronouncement on this matter. It is a humble appeal NOT an Order.
