In Photos: Jonathan denied normal royal blessing in S/West

The composite photographs show royal fathers in Yorubaland performing some blessings. Above President Jonathan  in the palace of Ooni of Ife. Below, another person receiving royal blessing. Yoruba traditionalists say Jonathan's blessing was not done the proper way as Obas normally use their horse whisks to pray. Another money gone down the drain?

    There they go again……Yoruba clan heads making believe they have an esoteric power that exists only in their own heads. When I run my fingers over my son’s head does it confer divinity to him? This type of foolishness is akin to prayer which is nothing but wishes. It grants no more advantage than your belief in it. If you go into the world and incur nothing but negativity like stealing from people, murdering innocents, telling lies etc., no amount of prayer or blessing can help. This GEJ is a riot . How come his advance team don’t tell those clan heads that he will not partake of their tom foolery. He sits there like a sacrificial lamb taking swipes of cow tail who knows, with some fleas to boot all in the quest of political advantage for which he could have been entitled if he but executed good programs
