 By FEMI KEHINDE I SHALL BE GREAT, I SHALL BE THE NEXT ALAAFIN’ In 1968, the powerful Alaafin Bello Gbadegesin Ladigbolu passed on to join his ancestors. He succeeded Alaafin Adeniran Adeyemi II, in 1955. The 30-year-old young Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi, then an Insurance executive, with the Royal Exchange Assurance Limited, gleefully pronounced himself as the succeeding Alaafin in an article in major Nigerian newspapers ably titled “I Shall Be Great, I shall Be The Next Alaafin Of Oyo.” Certainly, the piece was an inspirational product of defiance, faith, boldness, sagacity and audacity. In navigating the labyrinths of Alaafin Lamidi Olayiwola’s intriguing, chequered, fascinating, memorable and distinguished career as Alaafin of Oyo, the title of this piece, certainly suits the narratives. Here is the chronicle. Destiny has an uncanny hand in the conduct and affairs of men. In Yoruba pantheon, it could be likened to “ori”, literally meaning head, that is, a person’s spiritual intuit...

  The Chairman of Agunloye Ruling House, Prince Yusuf Tella, has described as untrue the claim by a retired archbishop of Methodist Church Nigeria, Ayo Ladigbolu, that he was being urged by people to contest the race to become the next Alaafin of Oyo. The Alaafin stool became vacant following the death of  Oba Lamidi Adeyemi on April 22 at the age of 83. Oba Adeyemi was produced by the Alowolodu Ruling House and Agunloye is believed to be the next to produce the next Alaafin. Ladigbolu had said people were begging him to contest to occupy the vacant stool in a recent publication. He said, “The people are actually urging me and appealing to me to join the race. The pressure is not limited to well-meaning adults but also includes a lot of the common people who have been touched one way or another by my patriotic enthusiasm for the growth and development of Oyo Town and the Oyo Metropolitan Community.” But speaking with our correspondent, Tella said there were too many qualified ...

Kiniun oju Abata (translation: the Lion of Abata). Atari Ajanaku ti ki se eru Omode, Eru ti reluwe ma ru ni ekan, ti omolanke abi agbegilodo ba teri si, won ma ditan (translation: the head of an elephant is not a baggage for a kid, the goods that a train will carry successfully at once, if a truck-pusher or a wood truck carries it, they will become history). These aforementioned words are often used as warnings and advisory capacity in Yoruba land so that people who are looking to embark on some ventures can step back and think twice or think through before they proceed with the venture they are about to embark upon. It is a fact that the traditional stool of the Alaafin is vacant and the entire world is patiently waiting for what will happen next or better put, who will ascend this Yoru...
