25th Nov 2017, Ibadan records one of the most saddened accident in the account of Yoruba tradition and the history of Ibadan chieftaincy coronation and system. On this day was the appearance of some hoodlums at the palace of Olubadan during coronation of new set of Mogajis for the palace after reviewing of Ibadan Chieftaincy system by the state government in which Olubadan was obviously not in support. In this sorrowful look of colorful event, despite the fact that many dignity sustained injuries, a lot of cars were damaged and people ran helter skelter to protect their lives and property.. After some minutes, new Mogajis were entitled. In leu of this, some questions require answer, did the new Mogajis inaugurated by Olubadan is recognised by State Government. What about the new constitutional Kings, did Olubadan give them any regards. Can a town not state, have more than a King at a time, is there moral preservation in regards of Olubadan during kingship of those Constitutional King,

The Ibadan empire With Ijaiye disposed of, Ibadan was free to consolidate its empire in the east. Between 1847 and 1870, large areas of Ijesha, Igbomina, Ekiti and Akoko came under Ibadan control (Akintoye, 1971: 33-75). Initially, this was in response to the threat from Ilorin. Some of the Osun towns like Osogbo had willingly come under Ibadan protection. More force was used in the subjugation of the towns further to the east. The Ijesha proved difficult to control. While Ibadan was occupied with the Ijaiye war, the Ijesha attacked them from the east. They were beaten off, and the Ibadan capture of Ilesha in 1870 marked the high point of Ibadan power (Akintoye, 1971: 56-60). The subordinate towns controlled by Ibadan came to be administered through officials called Ajele, a system similar to that of the former Oyo empire (Awe, 1964). Each of the towns was the responsibility of a “babakekere” in Ibadan, who administered through an Ajele in the town itself. The

The Generals involved in these conflicts include: Ibadan Are Latosa Osi, Ilori – son of Ogunmola and later Akintaro Iyapo – son of Ibikunle Balogun Ajayi Ogboriefon Ali Laluwoye – Otun Babalola son of Ajayi Ogboriefon Ijesa Ogedengbe Ayomoro Ogunmodede Egba Ogundipe Ajagunjeun Okenla Ekiti Fabunmi Odeyale Adeyala Ilorin Emir Alihu Ajia Karara – Balogun of Ilorin Ife Ayikiti – general The war caused heavy casualties on both sides although historians believe that the losses were even. It showcased the largest array of military hardware in Western Africa at the time. The Eastern Yoruba confederacy purchased a large number of cannon guns which produced the thunderous sound “Kiriiiiiiji”. The name “ Kiriji ” came from the ground shaking vibrations that accompanied the use of the cannons which gave the Eastern Yorubas an advantage over the Ibadans. Several Yoruba towns and villages were completely wiped out of history due to the scorched-earth policy

As the world waits to see what happens next after Robert Mugabe refused to resign despite pressure from the army and the ruling Zanu-PF party, we look at some of the key things you should know about the country and its current situation. 1. The economy is in a mess Zimbabwe has gone from one economic crisis to another over the last decade. Estimates of the country's unemployment levels vary, but the country's biggest trade union claims the jobless rate was as high as 90% earlier this year . Zimbabwe has struggled with hyperinflation, which peaked in 2008 with an official rate of 231 million per cent. The country was forced to abandon its own currency at a rate of Z$35 quadrillion to US$1 , adopting the use of foreign cash. Because of a continuing chronic shortage of hard money, the government issued their own version of dollars called bond notes, but they have rapidly lost their value.

The untold Story of Jesu Oyingbo.. In the beginning, there lived a man whose real names were Olufunmilayo Immanuel Odumosu, but he fondly called himself “Jesu Oyingbo”. He was highly revered, adored and venerated by his disciples and followers, who believed that he loomed larger than life. He taught his adherents that he was the real Jesus Christ and his presence on earth was his second coming. Indeed, many of Odumosu’s adherents had to sell their properties, forsake their families and joined the religious leader to build a spiritual enclave. Although the self-styled religious leader proclaimed himself Jesu Oyingbo, he never shared any trait with Jesus Christ who resurrected the third day. In actual fact, he failed to resurrect the third day as he had prophesied. In this exclusive piece, popular online platform Naij, narrated the journey of this Lagos god on how he rose to become “god amongst men” in oyigbo Enjoy.. “I am He. I am Jesus Christ, the very one whose

" ONE CORNER, HELL CORNERS " You let it go The beast hiding in you Breaking loose from common sense Into an abnormal scene The presures and pleasures Consumption of useful energies Whisking the waist as it emergies Banging against substance of ridicule "One corner dance" Possessed with a demonic trance Enslaved when the sound blinks Drenched with funicating drinks Legs swinging in the air Intoxicated sights of I don't care Clinging to soles and bars Flaunting on poles and cars Apologies to sodom and Gomorrah For we are now in a worst era Where one corner is dominating And Holy brains are masturbating. © PENDIATORS SERIES @Eddy P Wright

What is the meaning of the word Yoruba? Have you always thought about where the word Yoruba originated from? Have you heard many misconception and misapprehension that left you baffled? That was what got hold of me too so I decided to dig into it. What is the meaning of Yoruba? Does it have any inclination to our language? This is a thought provoking topic that needs profound reasoning and intense research for better understanding. It is time we faced the monster that keeps trailing us whom many try to ignore. In Yoruba culture, appellation is often derived from a prerequisite factor or foretelling. For fact telling, some name their child Owolabi hoping the child will bring fortune to the family, another one is that almost all Yoruba towns have their names derived from an event or a factor as illustrated in; Eba-Odan – Ibadan, Abe Okuta Olumo – Abeokuta and Ibi ti Ile ti yo – Oyo and so forth. However, these factors appear not partake in the word Yoruba. I asked a lot of people to

PEACE AND UNITY OF NIGERIA; NEGOTIABLE OR NOT. By: Ajani Kayode When talking about negotiating peace and unity in Nigeria, we must first ascertain without any modicum of doubt the kind of negotiation we are talking about. When we refer to negotiation, do we mean discussing with the secessionists in the East? or Boko Haram terrorists in the North? the Badoo cult in the West? Or militants in the South? obviously not. The kind of Negotiation I envisage is an all inclusive one in which every Nigerian will be given the opportunity to contribute on any matter and in any manner in an attempt to provide solutions to our already established multi faceted problems. In addition, while negotiating we should endeavor not to forget our differences, we have to live together as a people accepting our difference as our success lies in our collective effort and cooperation. We all have to understand that we have been made differently and are from different backgrounds, and also of different talents

The Godfather and the Governor: How Lamidi Adedibu Removed Rashidi Ladoja as Oyo State Governor by Onigegewura The Speaker knew something was wrong immediately he entered the chambers of the parliament. For a moment he wondered if he had stepped into a wrong building. But the inscription on the building was bold and clear: Oyo State House of Assembly. It was not a wrong building. But something was still amiss. On the seat reserved for him as the Speaker, an apparent stranger was already seated holding the gavel. Well, not really an apparent stranger. The seat was occupied by a fellow lawmaker who was also the Deputy Speaker. “What insolence!” Abraham Adeleke, the Speaker, thought as he marched briskly towards the usurper. Laiku ekìri, ta lo le fi awo ra da gbedu [Who could use the skin of a live animal to make a drum?] With all the dignity he could muster under the circumstance, he ordered his Deputy, Taiwo Oluyemi, to vacate his seat. Oluyemi did not even acknowl

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has called on Nigerian youths to utilise the productive period of their lives, noting that while time waits for no one, obtaining a degree certificate does not always translate to success in life. Osinbajo spoke at the 10th convocation of the Lead City University, Ibadan where 590 students were awarded first degree certificates in various disciplines on Thursday. Among them, 39 students graduated in the first class category. Miss Mary Olukorede was adjudged the best graduating female while Amedu Anthony was announced as the best graduating male student. At the event, the Chairman of Benin Electricity Distribution Company, Victor Osibodu, and the Chairman of Musoro Booksellers, Kolade Musoro, were also honoured with doctorate degrees. Osinbajo, who was the special guest at the ceremony, said, “I was 60 years old in March this year, and I must confess that one of the greatest surprises I ever experienced was that I just suddenly became 60

I don’t need high chiefs’ endorsement to install chiefs —Olubadan by Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibadan The Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, has said he does not need the endorsement of the high chiefs before he can confer honorary traditional titles on recipients. Our correspondent learnt that the monarch will on November 11, 2017, honour the Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, with the title of Agbaakin Afiwagboye of Ibadan land, and others. This development, observers noted, could further deepen the crisis between the Olubadan and some of his high chiefs, who were elevated by the Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi to the status of kings recently. The new kings had opposed the move by the Olubadan to confer traditional titles on Shittu and others on Saturday (tomorrow). But speaking through his Director, Media and Public Affairs, Adeola Oloko, on Thursday, the Olubadan said that he was aware of the high chiefs’ opposition to the ceremony. The monarch in

Oba Asanike I: King with unusual humour, wit and sarcasm Oba Asanike I: King with unusual humour, wit and sarcasm In the midst of the current Olubadan chieftaincy brouhaha, it is necessary to go down memory lane and celebrate, with fondest memory, an Olubadan of Ibadan who reigned for ten years, with abundant wit, humour, native intelligence and sarcasm. Olubadan Yesufu Oloyede Asanike , ascended the throne on the 4th of February, 1983 and died on the 24th of December, 1993. His immediate predecessor was Oba Daniel Tayo Akinbiyi , who also reigned between 1977 and 1982. D.T Akinbiyi , as he was fondly called, was highly educated, having trained as a teacher in the famous Wesley College, Elekuro , Ibadan, between 1916 and 1918. He was also involved in Ibadan local politics in 1925 and was a founding member of the Ibadan Progressive Union (IPU) which was formally inaugurated in 1930. Akinbiyi was a Customary Court judge. He was the judge who almost jaile
