"Osun is God's messenger and this is the spot (Ita-Osun) she domiciled
when she was here, from here, she moved to Igede-Ekiti and from there to
Osogbo where she spread throughout the world," Ooni averred."Osun is the first goldsmith in the world and very spiritual."
"All what she did is to meet the demands of the populace of whoever comes to her by healing them of all kinds of illnesses; fruits of the womb for those looking for baby and all sorts."
"She was a spiritual being reason we are worshiping her as God's messenger."
"Our culture is our national asset; its our money spinning oil if well harness and propagate in the right channel because we have to elevate our culture to turn our nation to tourist centre that 'll attract influx of foreigners to our land that will yield Economic turn-over," Ooni said.
"Reason I always emphasized that culture is different from religion."
However, some tagged us as idol worshippers; but we are not. We are only paying obeisance to the wonder of God because God is Supreme !
You can see my people that came from Ekiti to worship Osun here in Ife because the moment she left Ife, she moved to Igede-Ekiti and later to Osogbo". Ooni concluded.
