A foremost Yoruba monarch, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, (Ojaja II), has stated that he does not wear wristwatches and has a passion for designing his own shoes.
He made this known in a recent interview with journalists in Lagos, where he unveiled his grand plans for his 50th birthday celebration, among other topical issues.
Oba Ogunwusi stated that he does not wear wristwatches because he believes that time belongs to God.
“For me, every second counts, so why should I be looking at it every second?”
He emphasized that by not wearing a wristwatch, he maintains a strong connection with his spirituality.
Speaking further, the monarch said that he learnt shoemaking as a child and continues to design his shoes to this day.
“I design all my shoes till date,” he proudly stated.
