The Ijesa people stand on the brink of a monumental decision as they prepare to elect a new Owa Obokun Adimula. This pivotal moment presents a unique opportunity to initiate transformative change and steer Ijesha land toward a prosperous future.

To secure this future, the selection process must be fueled by a collective love for Ijesha land, sincerity, and unity of purpose. The Afobajes and leaders must prioritize the long-term welfare of the people while avoiding past mistakes that have marred the throne.

Key Qualities for the Next Owa Obokun Adimula:
Fluency in Ijesa Dialect: Mastery of the local dialect is essential, reflecting a deep connection to Ijesa culture and traditions.

Integrity and Dignity: The prince should have a proven track record of integrity, self-respect, and a strong sense of duty to the people.

Familiarity with Ijesa Land: The next Owa Obokun must be known and respected by the community, possessing a profound understanding of their struggles and aspirations.

Leadership Ability: A true leader who comprehends the significance of the throne and the expectations placed upon the Owa Obokun by the Ijesa people.

Age: A crucial consideration is the age of the prince. The ideal candidate should be youthful yet experienced, preferably under 50 years old. Younger leadership infuses energy, innovative ideas, and the capacity to lead Ijesha land into the future.

Avoiding Past Mistakes:
No to Money Miss-Road: The throne should not be sold to the highest bidder.

No to Emergency Princes: The candidate must not be a newcomer or unfamiliar with the people’s traditions.

No to Disconnected Kings: The prince must maintain a strong emotional connection to the culture and traditions of Ijesha land.

By embracing these principles, the Ijesa people can restore the dignity of the throne, preserve the essence of royalty, and ensure a prosperous future for generations to come.
