Many Nigerians on Twitter have shown support for the Covid-19 remedy made from local herbs proposed by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
The monarch, speaking during a press conference in his palace on Monday contended that the traditional herbal medicine has the potency to cure coronavirus while saying that a divine proclamation came out to the world last year June 6th 2019, during the World Ifa Festival – Otura Meji which foretold the impending rage of this invisible pandemic war.
Said he, “The cure to the pandemic Coronavirus lies in the ability to explore potentials of the alternative natural medicine.”
“We should not condemn the alternative medical practitioner at this point in time. I attest to its potency, it has been used to cure many chronic diseases. As spiritual head, this pandemic was foretold last year June. It is to help humanity in Nigeria.
“Cuba as a country that has strong traditional ties with Nigeria and the Kingdom of Ife, in particular, have not only defeated the Covid-19 but now rendering huge medical assistance to several countries across the world because they value their cultural heritage which they got from us.”
“As the spiritual head, I have a lot gathered for the use of mankind as I am also currently working with Yem Kem International (Alternative Medicine Expert) pharmaceutical company for the packaging and distribution of these medications globally. I also challenge researchers both in Nigeria and abroad to make these natural herbs into clinical medicine and extract the vaccines from it.
His solution to the worldwide pandemic has received support on twitter:
If the OONI of Ife claims to have the herbal cure for #COVID19,i think we should really give a listening ear.
We are at that point where we cannot dismiss any solution and let's NOT just believe that only western medicines is POTENTpic.twitter.com/BsjVXaY07e

Ooni of Ife says he has a treatment for Coronavirus in his possession. Instead of you to suggest that it should be put to test and used if it works, you are calling for his arrest. How do some people even think.

I'm not trying to be tribalistic or shit, but if Ooni says he's got a cure for Covid-19, I believe. Trado-medical solutions have at different times proven to be effective. Let's hear the man out first.

The world is in need of solution to Coronavirus, Ooni of Ife listed herbs that can possibly cure it. Pharmacologists and botanists should research on them to confirm their potency and authenticity.
Insulting Ooni is wrong.
Think and use your senses before tweeting.#COVID19
