Every year in the southwest, there’s a famous festival called the Olojo Festival in Ife, Osun state.
One interesting aspect of this event that has been creating a lot of buzz on social media is a trending video featuring the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, wearing the revered Aare crown, which is said to be linked to the god of war and iron, Ogun.
In the video, the Ooni of Ife seemed to be deeply affected by the spiritual power of the sacred Aare crown on his head, as people stood by his side, supporting him as he walked unsteadily through the historic town of Ife.
Davido on seeing the video commented “Long live the king”

iam_ajayigloria: “Yoruba culture that crown looks so light but it’s heavy according to history.”
h.m_empress_madani: “Your majesty @ooniadimulaife it seems it was harder to carry it on this year. It reflects the heaviness of duties you are overtaking and those steps you have not completed fully yet. Look at the circle carefully to find the missed pole.”
erelu.etom: “If you know the meaning of ” OFEREGÈGÈ” that man was chanting, you will understand the weight of that sacred crown in a spiritual realm.”
_therealbolaji: “Please, anyone to answer my question. Please, does the Ade Aare really weigh 150kg.”
