A high priest of the Idanre Kingdom has spoken on why he is not always fully clothed like normal people. In an interview with Legit TV, the traditionalist said that he tends to different sicknesses.
The 47-years-old man stated that not putting on proper cloth is the self-sacrifice he makes as the guardian of the popular Idanre hills.

He added that he is also a kingmaker in the kingdom. The high chief said though he could put on shorts and trousers, it is a big taboo for him to put on top.
When asked why it was so, he revealed it's because he is the guardian of a special abode called the "Olorin" and nobody enters the house fully apparelled.
Though the man has a house downhill, he always sleeps on the mountain and has been doing so for the past 34 years.
According to him, his position can be occupied by anyone who is abreast of the kingdom’s traditions.
