The Olu of Warri, Atuwatse II, has said he his giving the land where he rules
to God and putting a stop to Idol worship.
Henceforth, I submit and present the title ‘Ogiame’ to God, the creator, who
made the sea and rules over all. Therefore, no Olu or person may bear the
title or name that now belongs0 to God. I nullify all tokens of libation poured
on the land and seas or sprinkled into the air in Iwere land. I frustrate all
sacrifices of wine, blood, food, water, kola nuts, and other items offered in
Iwere land.
In conformity with the new covenant through the blood of Jesus, I release the
royal bloodline, the chiefs of the Iwere kingdom, the Iwere people and land,
waters and atmosphere of Iwere kingdom from all ties to all other spiritual
covenants and agreements.
His declarations has however triggered swift reactions from the royal family
and the youths. The youths who came out to protest said, they are protesting
against the moves by the monarch and others to change the only recognized
ancient title of “Ogiame” that represents the symbol of the Iwere Kingdom of
Warri.
One of the protesting youths also said that the move amounts to a
desecration of a title that has been in existence for more than 500 years. The
protesters set a huge fire outside the gate of the palace.
The Olu of Warri is however insisting that it's time for the land to go back to
God.
Who agrees with him?
