Oba Akanbi , who spoke in Yoruba, emphasized the importance of a holy life and the need to ensure an enabling environment for spiritual growth and reverence.
‘This palace belongs to Olodumare, and there is a mosque over there. We want to get instant answers to our prayers. If you want to make something holy, you must start by making yourself holy first.
I am taking this decision for you to become someone I will be proud to associate with. If you want to drink alcohol, I beg of you, go outside this premises. Go behind this fence. Go there and drink it, not here.
We are preaching holiness. Anything that has to do with alcohol should not be allowed here. Anything against God should leave this premises’ the monarch said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
