Ah yes, the Ooni of Ife. Not to be confused with the Cicero of Esa Oke.

This will explain everything.

I thought Ooni was Charlie Chaplins daughter...(or was she his wife?)

Chido Nwangu explains:

No matter how one looks at it, Ige's murder, the murder of public servant of almost 40 years is a bad omen for Nigeria's democratizing effort. I am not a political prophet but a realistic graduate of political science and public administration, hence I make bold to caution that if Nigeria's democracy takes its bizarre turn to demoCrazy, the stability and viability of the country becomes a real issue for frank debate. It's sad it will take the murder of Nigeria's chief law officer for retired Gen. Obasanjo and Nigeria's undisciplined political class to be re-awaken to the fact Nigeria needs more basic public safety, fair-minded mediation and domestic presidential responsibility by Obasanjo and Co for its multifarious conflicts, legitimate environmental and human rights concerns of its components, national and individual security needs more than increasing the defense budget or promoting more non-combatant Nigerian generals some of whose biggest "battles" have been downing a big bowel of fish pepper soup with pounded yam! This murder of Ige sets back President Obasanjo's frenetic, frequent flier years of international travels abroad.

A big bowel full of fish pepper soup will do it every time.
