My Experience Meeting One Of Africa’s Top Monarch
Got a call that one of the country’s very top royal fathers heard about me and called to see me to have a conversation on some of my thoughts. So Ife happened within a 24 hour period!
The conversation was beyond what’s normally expected from Kings in Africa. Above the beautiful protocols that made me feel closer to the source, The Ooni of Ife is the kind of leader we should have at this time.
His attention to details and systems thinking abilities would be good for academics and boy, he understands and is creating the characters that should aggregate the future of AFRICA. I found his fusion of old tradition and contemporary sense of innovation very fascinating. A lot of beautiful things are going on.
About four sentences into answering the first question he threw at me, he paused and said “I like you, you are such a futuristic guy”, I smiled and told him Thank You Kabiyesi (meaning Your Majesty). He allowed me continue and the ways he landed my sentences, nodded and shook his feet in acknowledgment made me know some people actually get my ‘seemingly weird thoughts’.
These are some things you’ll find out about him:
- He is very hard-working.
- He spots mediocrity within seconds.
- He is an outstanding global & authentic approach to thoughts.
- He respects order.
- He listens and takes words seriously!
We finished the conversation around 12am and I was happy about the future of Nigeria.
You know, keep the thoughts going, there are some people in strategic positions who want to listen to them and fast track things on it. LET’S KEEP OUT THOUGHTS GOING!
(My sitting position here was practically how I was for the couple of hours, everything was vibrating when I got up)
