Reactions trail Ooni of Ife's statement proclaiming Jesus as his father

The constant criticism of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, appears to be one of the newest trends on social media for Nigerians. On Wednesday, June 29, there was an outrage at night after a video of the Ooni of Ife, proclaiming Jesus as his father surfaced on-line. 

The Ooni who just recently returned from a three week trip to the United States of America, was recently criticized about his visit to Nigerian footballer Obafemi Martins. Nigerians then stated that he should not be going around paying visits as a respected monarch.

Some Nigerians are of the opinion that as the custodian of the Yoruba culture and tradition, which includes the deities as such he cannot be a Christian and that Oduduwa should be his father, while some are asking what is wrong with him saying that Jesus is his father.
