I Used Holy Bible To Defeat Ifa Divination -Oba Solomon Ajibade, Owa Odo Ayedun

Oba Solomon Ilesanmi Ajibade is the Owa Odo Ayedun in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State. He was was born in June 1947 to late Pa Emmanuel Akande Ajibade of Iserun Royal Family of Serungunle Ruling House in Oke Owa quarters in Odo Ayedun.

In this interview with Daily independent, the monarch
revealed how he used the Holy Bible to defeat Ifa divination during the Obaship tussle to emerge the 17th King of the community. He also outlined the gains of the annual Odo Ayedun Day celebrations. Excerpts below....

I thanked God for the life of my wife she is a prayer
warrior. If not for her intervention, we would have missed
the date. She was the one who insisted that we must
come home on January 27 to prepare for the hosting of
my friends and peer groups in the community. 

Meanwhile, at the Ado-Ekiti meeting the Ministry officials
told each contestant to come with his own Ifa- Priest so
as to ascertain the authenticity of the verdict of the
oracle. But there I stood up and told them that I have
never in my life consulted the oracle and that I was not
planning to do so. I told them, the only weapon I have is
my Bible and I belief strongly that it is superior to any Ifa
or Oracle. I was trained as a Pastor and God has been
so wonderful in my life.

Five contestants came from our own ruling house and
one from another. And all of them came with their own
Ifa priest but I held my Bible. As they commenced the Ifa
procedures I was praying within me that God let your will
be done in this matter. There were about nine Ifa priest in
attendance. The state and local government officials also
came with their own Ifa-priests. But one of them was
leading. I sat at the back and watched how Ifa thing is
being done.

The monarch did his primary school education at Saint John Anglican Primary School Igbemo-Ekiti (1955-60), Then proceeded to Secondary Modern School (1962-64). He graduated from Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago Iwoye in Ogun State where he studied Computer Science.

Important to note is that his wife, a virtuous woman had his back all the way. Behind every successful man, is a praying woman.
