Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II has made a shocking revelation: “I go on water. I am a very daring person, yet I don’t know how to swim. I have a very huge investment off an island in Lagos. I am not afraid of death. I have never been. I have had cases that the boat would just stop in the middle of the water and I didn’t know how to swim. So, I’d been close to having an accident, wreckage, but God saved me, then the engine would just be moving again. That did not stop me from going again.”

“I have a resort on an island in Lagos. I was going for inspection. I like to go on water because it is very therapeutic for me. People go on top of water and they lose their lives. The accident on water is very minimal, but it happens. Maybe that would have probably cut the dream short, but God intervened. I was afraid, but I prayed to God and I had battle with the flow of current. Again, maybe if I had been involved in things that are not good, which I am always careful of, we won’t be talking of me as Ooni. I really don’t like to get involved in problems and God has really guided me.”
