Giesi Ruling House to produce Ooni
The Osun State Government and Ile-Ife kingmakers have resolved that the Giesi Ruling House would produce the next Ooni of Ife. Daily Trust gathered that the state government would formerly write Giesi Ruling House to present suitable candidates, out of which one would be selected. 
The stool became vacant following the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade Olubuse, on July 28th at a London hospital.
A source at the meeting attended by Ife kingmakers at the Osun Government House in Osogbo on Friday night, said the Giesi Ruling House was favoured by the 1979 and 1980 Ife Chieftaincy Declaration which spelt out rotation among the four ruling houses.
Spokesperson of Giesi Ruling House, Prince Adelowo Adekunle Ogunleye, told our correspondent that screening of interested princes was on-going and that some names would be forwarded to the kingmakers as soon as possible.  He said the Giesi Ruling House had not disqualified any applicant from the eight royal families under it. 
 “We have not disqualified any applicant from vying for the throne of Ooni of Ife, because every prince from Giesi Ruling House is eligible. We have received applications from interested princes and we are already screening them. There is no doubt that it is our turn to produce Ooni and we shall produce the best candidate for the stool,” he said.

Perhaps Jonathan learnt that a little late.  Perhaps Obasanjo has got away too many times with an exaggerated sense of self importance. Buhari and Obasanjo When  Obasanjo  pulsates with  ego he deems it  righteous anger. He breaks rules, and mends them. He tramples on principles and trashes them.  They are not meant for him. Hypocrisy relieves him of many moral burdens ordinary men suffer. He  likes the limelight. He doesn’t like to be ignored. He wants President Buhari out. President Buhari benefited from his support three years ago.  Obasanjo feels righteous indignation against a bumbling  ingrate. He  perhaps believes he handed Buhari the presidency.  Obasanjo always overestimates himself. He once thought we would wan...

And I am Like... Until corruption, mass corruption, massive corruption is dealt with at the Police level, every other fight against corruption is window dressing. What do you call this? a kiosk on the highway? a supermarket? a toll gate? With all that illicit cash flowing from his pockets how can this policeman in all good conscience arrest another fellow for stealing, extortion or embezzlement? How?
