INSIDE STORY OF HOW OBA SIKIRU ADETONA WAS DEPOSED AS AWUJALE OF IJEBULAND-
This was a historical battle, an epic battle between tradition and constitution, between royalty and power, and between royal court and the court of law.
The news hit Ijebuland like a thunderbolt. In the twinkle of an eye, it had reverberated across the length and breadth of the nation. That was decades before twitter, instagram and Facebook. That however did not stop the news from spreading like harmattan fire.
His Excellency, Governor Victor Olabisi Onabanjo, the Governor of Ogun State had removed His Imperial Majesty, Oba Sikiru Adetona as Awujale of Ijebuland! It was unheard of! An Ijebu son, an Awujale subject removing his own king! Could Ayekooto remove the Crown?
Ayekooto (Parrot) was the pen name of Chief Olabisi Onabanjo. He was a London-trained journalist, publisher, parliamentarian, and statesman. As Ayeekoto, he wrote more than 476 published articles.
Could it be true? People wondered. Those who knew the close relationship between His Majesty and His Excellency doubted the veracity of the news. Years before Onabanjo became the Governor of Ogun State, he had fallen ill and needed to travel abroad for medical check up. It was Awujale that secured the flat of Afolabi Kuku for Ayekooto’s use whilst in the United Kingdom. Oba Adetona also arranged for his brother’s wife who lived in the same building to prepare his meals.
So what went wrong? What you are about to read is the intriguing saga of the deposition of a Monarch. It however didn’t start in the Second Republic. Let’s travel back in time. Let’s go back to the First Republic.
The young Sikiru Adetona became the Awujale on April 2,1960. That was in the tempestuous days of the First Republic. It was the period when Western Region was polarized sharply along political line. The Awujale was a young man, suave, urbane, cosmopolitan and handsome.
The premier, Sir Ladoke Akintola, the Are-Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland had a beautiful daughter. Modele Akintola was beautiful, graceful, brainy and ebullient – a chip off the old block. Modele was very close to the Awujale. It was not hidden that His Majesty had a personal relationship with Ms. Omodele! According to Oba Adetona: “Many in the Awolowo camp were uncomfortable about this relationship!” Olabisi Onabanjo was in the Awolowo Camp. Count One!
If anything, Awujale was and is still passionate about the issues affecting Ijebuland and Ijebu sons (and of course, Ijebu daughters) When the premier awarded an Ijebu son a contract for importation of pipes, the entire Ijebuland was excited. Then news filtered out that Awolowo had asked Akintola to cancel the contract. This was not done. The Ijebu son, Chief Okunowo, was incensed.
For purpose of fair hearing, let me tell you Chief Awolowo’s account of the contract saga. Before Awolowo relinquished office in the Western Region, the government had approved the purchase of a large quantity of asbestos pipes for water supply. The government had to decide whether to import the pipes or to manufacture them locally. Awolowo preferred the local option, as it would contribute to local technology, provide employment and would have fewer cracks. It was on this basis that Awolowo advised the premier to consider the local option.
People took sides. Some supported Awolowo. Others supported Chief Okunowo. Awujale stood in support of his Chief. Count Two!
Following his release from prison by Yakubu Gowon, Awolowo was appointed the Minister of Finance. One of the agencies under his superintendence was the Customs and Excise Department.
It was around this time that another Ijebu son was planning to open a bicycle and inner tubes factory in Ijebu-Ode. Out of the blues, the Government imposed an additional excise duty on tyres and inner tube parts. The Ijebu business was no longer competitive. It could not compete with giants like Dunlop and Michelin. Rightly or wrongly, it was concluded that Awolowo was to blame!
Count Three!
Iyan ogun odun, a ma jo ni lowo is a Yoruba proverb. Pounded yam of two decades might not be cold. That was what Awujale discovered in the Second Republic. The yam pounded years earlier was still oven fresh when Ayekooto emerged as the Governor of Ogun State.
The first salvo was fired when it was time to constitute the National Council of State. Under the 1979 Constitution, a person appointed by a State’s Council of Chiefs “from among themselves” was a member of the Council. Awujale expected the Ogun State Council of Chiefs to nominate one of its members. The Council was therefore surprised when the Governor unilaterally selected a relatively junior Oba to represent Ogun State.
Awujale picked his pen and wrote to the Governor resigning from the activities of the Council. The Governor responded. His Excellency asked His Majesty to withdraw his letter of resignation. His Majesty refused. Clouds began to gather!
One fateful day, the Chief Imam of Ijebu Ode received a special letter. The letter had the Seal of Office of the Governor. His Excellency informed His Eminence, the Imam of his intention to attend Jumat prayers for thanksgiving. The Muslim Community was excited. A response was dispatched to Abeokuta with dispatch assuring His Excellency of a warm welcome.
His Majesty was soon informed of the preparation to receive His Excellency by His Eminence in the mosque. Awujale invited the Chief Imam to the Palace to show him where in the Quran, Christians could come to the mosque for thanksgiving. The Chief Imam must have searched frantically for a relevant verse or an apposite tradition. He found none.
When His Excellency received a second letter from His Eminence. He thought it was to inform him of advanced plans for his reception. It was with shock that Ayekooto read the letter asking him not to come to the mosque. Though the letter was signed by the mosque leadership, Onabanjo clearly saw the invisible signature of Awujale on the document.
The gathering clouds became heavier.
To go or not to go! That was the question the wordsmith Governor must have been pondering as he put down the letter. Of course, he decided to go. He informed the Muslim community that he was going to attend the Jumat Service as scheduled.
The Chief Imam was in a quandary. Torn between His Excellency and His Highness, His Eminence looked unto Almighty Allah. On the scheduled Friday, those who had not attended mosques in decades found their way to the Central Mosque. When a siren was heard from a distance, the elders of the mosque looked at the Imam. It was however a police car passing by. His Excellency did not turn up.
The gathering clouds became heavier and darker.
The governor was not Ayekooto for nothing. In addition to being a smart bird, parrot can also be patient. The governor waited. He waited for his chance. After all he was the Executive Governor.
And his chance came! It came by way of an innocuous letter from palace. Like a starved hawk, Ayekooto pounced!
Awujale had written to inform the Governor of his plans to go to the UK for medical attention. The letter contained information about the Oba’s itinerary and contact details. The Governor read the letter. Finally! He responded. He responded by asking for further and better particulars about Kabiyesi’s health and the planned trip to enable him decide whether or not to approve the request.
Request? Awujale picked up his pen and explained that his initial letter was not a request for approval, but information about his journey.
Information? The governor fired another letter. “Your Majesty is hereby requested to comply with His Excellency’s earlier letter.” Oba Adetona filed away the letter and instead of picking his pen, it was his passport that he picked. Off to London!
The gathering clouds became ominous!
The governor was waiting patiently to receive Awujale’s response. He waited and waited. When the news came, it was not the letter he was expecting. Instead the news he got was that the Ogbagba II, Commander of the Federal Republic had left for London.
Onabanjo weighed carefully his options. He was an Ijebu son. He was Awujale’s subject. But he was also the Executive Governor of the State, the first citizen of the State by virtue of office. What was he to do? Should he call the Awujale and order him to return? He picked the phone. He hesitated. No, he won’t call. Instead, he called some prominent Obas in Ogun State.
Awujale had hardly settled down in London when his phone began to ring. ‘Kabiyesi, Gomina n binu o. E ma pada bo o!” It was a First Class Oba calling from Nigeria. The phone rang again, another Kabiyesi, with the same message. Another call. Another call. Another call. Another call. Alake of Egba called. Akarigbo called. The husband of Olori Iyabo Adetona refused. They pleaded with the husband of Olori Kemi Adetona. The Ogbagba II maintained his stand. When it appeared that the phone would not stop ringing, Kabiyesi changed his telephone number.
The Governor was waiting to hear that Awujale had returned to the country. If he heard anything, it was to be informed that Awujale was still in London.
The ominous gathering cloud became a bit too heavy!
On November 23, 1981, the people of Ogun State woke up to receive the first shock! “Oba Sikiru Adetona is hereby suspended from office as the Awujale of Ijebuland in the Ijebu-Ode Local Government area until further notice!”
Suspended ke? Suspension bawo? From Abeokuta to Ota, from Ifo to Ilaro, from Ijebu Ode to Sagamu, from Mowe to Idiroko, the question was the same. Could Awujale be suspended by his ‘son’, the Governor?
The second shock came almost immediately. The Government set up a Commission of Enquiry to probe the affairs of the suspended Oba Sikiru Adetona as the Awujale of Ijebuland. The commission was headed by Hon. Justice S. O. Sogbetun who became a Judge of the State on June 1, 1977.
Awujale picked his phone. He called two leading lawyers of the time; Chief FRA Williams and Omooba Sina Odedina. Timi the Law advised his client not to appear personally before the Commission, as it was not constituted properly. A case was promptly filed challenging the constitutionality of the Sogbetun Commission.
Well, Awujale or no Awujale, case in court or no case in court, Sogbetun Commission sat. Things became tense in Ijebuland whilst the Commission met. At the end of the day, the Commission submitted its report. The Awujale was found guilty.
It was in the evening that the report of the Commission was submitted to the government. Overnight, government read the report, government reviewed the report, government digested the report. All in the course of one night.
By the following morning, having carefully reviewed and painstakingly considered the report, the Government announced the deposition of Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, CFR, as the Awujale of Ijebuland.
Ha! From suspension to deposition! But Kabiyesi had a case in court! People speculated. What could have happened? It was one speculation after another.
Off to court again! The now deposed Kabiyei went to court. The case of His Royal Highness Oba S. K. Adetona v. Governor of Ogun State and Others was assigned to Hon. Justice Owolabi Kolawole. You remember him? His Lordship was the trial judge in the case of AYINLA OMOWURA.
On Friday, May 4, 1984, Justice Kolawole delivered his judgment. His Lordship found that there was: “so much indecent haste on the part of Government to depose the plaintiff that it overlooked so many fundamental issues…in its haste to have the plaintiff deposed, it overlooked to give any reason for the plaintiff’s deposition.” His Lordship therefore declared that the decision of His Excellency to depose His Royal Majesty was null and void.
Now something happened while the case was going on. A military coup occurred. His Excellency, Chief Olabisi Onabanjo was removed from office as a result of the coup. It was therefore the lot of the new military governor Col. Oladipo Diya to restore Oba Sikiru Adetona to the throne of his fathers. Coincidentally Col Oladipo Diya is another Son of Ijebu Land.

SẸMIU: JUST LIKE MAJẸOGBE
That fateful day, Aláàfin Majẹogbe needed to attend to some pressing issues in the palace after he must have done with bathing.
He loved using warm water, black local soap and sharp sponge to scrub his back which was done for him by one of his wives.
This daily back scrubbing on Aláàfin Majẹogbe was always done by his youngest wife who had taken it upon herself as daily responsibility for being the favourite amongst the other wives.
Aláàfin Majẹogbe stepped into the bathroom which was surrounded by hefty men to prevent prying eyes from seeing the royal nakedness.
In few minutes, Aláàfin Majẹogbe was almost done with bathing, he called on his youngest wife known as Olorì Segilọla to scrub his back for him.
Olorì Segilọla, the daughter of head of BATA drummers from Jabata clan, stepped into the bathroom and took the sponge from Aláàfin Majẹogbe and began to scrub his back gently.
Perhaps, out of excitement or curiosity or she was simply being under a spell, Olorì Segilọla, taunted Aláàfin Majẹogbe while he surrendered his back for her to scrub for him.
Olorì Segilọla, examined and tried to compare Aláàfin's little body to the terror and fear it evoked in the public after the king must have put his kingly regalia on his little body.
Olorì Segilọla said jokingly: "Is it not amazing how little your body looks like a piece of meat yet dreaded by all and sundry! You are not even as agile as my father".
Olorì Segilọla said jokingly as she scrubbed Aláàfin Majẹogbe's back with sponge she held with her two hands.
Aláàfin startled but tried so hard to contain his rage over the careless utterances of Olorì Segilọla to ridicule him.
Aláàfin Majẹogbe was raged but struggled not to show it on his face.
Aláàfin Majẹogbe went into his closet, and he called two amongst his guards and began to whisper into their ears.
The two guards nodded their heads repeatedly as they tilted the upper parts of their bodies towards the position of Aláàfin's mouth to listen to every instruction dictated by their lord to prevent possible eavesdropping.
The two guards went out hurriedly.
About an hour later, the two guards returned to the palace with a covered calabash held by one of the guards while the other held a sword that looked like it had just completed a task as it was obviously drooling fresh blood.
Aláàfin Majẹogbe, in the presence of the Ọ̀yọ́mèsì and other chiefs and everybody seated, called Olorì Segilọla to take a precious gift he had for her.
Olorì Segilọla took the calabash and tried to open it as her entire body began to shake for not knowing what exactly was in the calabash, she opened the calabash and her father's head was seated comfortably in it.
"I did this to let you know that as little as I look in my body, I am mighty so much that I can do anything I like. That's your father's head in the container to let you know how powerful the man in this little body is".
Aláàfin Majẹogbe boasted.
---
This incident led to the dethronement and ex*****on of Aláàfin Majẹogbe by Bashọrun GA'A in the year 1774.

Cheating is not just physical...it’s a slow, calculated betrayal of trust. It’s not just the act of being unfaithful; it’s the mindset that allows you to prioritize your selfish desires over the person who loves you.
Texting someone your partner would feel uncomfortable about? That’s cheating. Hiding your phone, deleting messages, erasing your browsing history? That’s lying. Flirting with someone who isn’t your partner? That’s disrespect. Adding strangers on social media just because they’re attractive? That’s dishonorable.
These aren’t innocent actions. They’re deliberate. They erode the foundation of your relationship, one secret, one lie at a time. You’re not just betraying your partner; you’re betraying the promises you made, the love you claimed to have, and the integrity you were supposed to uphold.
The truth is, cheating starts in the small moments...moments where you entertain attention that doesn’t belong to you. And once that line is crossed, it only escalates. The relationship won’t survive if the behavior doesn’t stop. Love cannot grow in the shadows of lies, secrets, and selfishness.
If you’re in a relationship where this is happening; whether you’re the one doing it or it’s being done to you...it’s time to face reality. This isn’t love. This isn’t commitment. And it doesn’t just get better. You can’t build a life with someone who’s still entertaining the world like they’re single. You can’t create a future with someone who isn’t willing to leave the village behind and be loyal to the kingdom you’re trying to build.
It’s not a mistake; it’s a choice. And it’s a choice that destroys everything it touches.

SPARTACUS
The death of the legend, Spartacus
there is no greater victory than to fall from this world...
a free man
Why didn't the Romans leave Spartacus alive to be crucified along with his vast army of prisoners?
In 73 BC, Rome experienced its largest slave revolt ever. Roman society, increasingly dependent on hundreds of thousands of slaves imported from conquered lands, was unstable and ready to erupt.
The man who led this rebellion was a gladiator named Spartacus. He has natural charisma, is a good fighter, and the leader of his gladiator school. One day, he and about fifty other gladiators decided that they had had enough of their lives and decided to run away from school and become runaways in the countryside. They were forced to fight with the authorities during their escape, which led them to call other slaves in the area to join them.

The Ancient City of Babylon and it’s hunging gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Babylon, one of the most famous cities of antiquity, was the capital of southern Mesopotamia (Babylonia) from the early 2nd millennium to the early 1st millennium BCE. During its peak, it was the capital of the Neo-Babylonian (Chaldean) empire in the 7th and 6th centuries BCE.
At the height of its splendor, Babylon was a magnificent city with impressive structures, including:
* The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
* The Ishtar Gate, a famous gate decorated with images of bulls and dragons
* The Temple of Marduk, the chief deity of the Babylonians
The extensive ruins of Babylon lie near the modern town of Al-Ḥillah, Iraq, about 55 miles (88 km) south of Baghdad, on the Euphrates River. While the city was once a thriving metropolis, it is now a vast archaeological site.
In recent years, archaeologists have made significant discoveries at the site, including the excavation of the ancient city's walls and the uncovering of several well-preserved ruins.
Despite its historical significance, Babylon's ruins have suffered from various threats, including:
* War and conflict, which have caused damage to the site and made it difficult to access
* Looting and vandalism, which have led to the loss of valuable artifacts
* Environmental degradation, which has affected the preservation of the ruins
Efforts are underway to restore and protect the ancient city of Babylon, including:
* International collaborations, such as UNESCO's World Heritage Centre, to preserve the site
* Local community engagement, to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the site
* Restoration projects, to repair and conserve the ruins
The ancient city of Babylon is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of our ancestors. While its current state is fragile, efforts to restore and preserve the site offer hope for its continued relevance and importance.

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, once said that he bought his first private jet at 24, then built his massive palatial house, where he still lives today at Ikoyi at 33.
He used to tease his daughters that even though they are all older than he was when he first bought his first private jet, even at that, they have not been able to achieve half of what he did or achieved at their current age, even when they are older now.
I think about this more often.
A 24-year-old Nigerian is probably still in school, trying to figure out his/her life. Buying a private jet at that age is the least thing on his mind. He just wants to eat and survive first.
Many 33-year-olds are still living with their parents, unemployed, broke, and not sure where the next meal would come from for no fault of theirs, simply because the country is not working for the majority of the young population.
This summarises the disadvantage that my generation and the younger generation were born into, but regardless, we won’t stop pushing so that we can change the final outcome of our lives even with the man-made disadvantage.
In another unrelated news, this newly registered Gulfstream G550, whose price tag is $61 million, is currently on its way to Nigeria from where it was manufactured.
Apparently, a Nigerian elite just bought it after paying $61 million for it, and so the company is on its way to deliver it to the new owner in Abuja.
Nigeria is indeed a bundle of contradictions.
At a time that many people can’t afford to eat or pay their bills because of the hardship in the country, someone just paid over 105 billion naira to own a new private jet.
I wonder who this person is.

The man from the past
Ötzi is the name given to one of Europe's most well-preserved mummified bodies.
The body was found in the Ötzal Alps in 1991, and examinations tells us that he lived over 5000 years ago(Ca.3400-3100BCE). After his death the body dehydrated and his remains were mummified naturally in the glacier ice.
When the operation to take care of his body started, numerous leather fragments, string, pieces of hide and clumps of hay came to light.
This were pieces of Ötzi’s clothing, made from hide, leather and braided grass.
A coat, a belt, a pair of leggings, a loincloth, shoes and a bearskin cap were found.
Other items spread around him were a copper axe, flint dagger, a long stick(later identified as a bow) and a quiver containing 2 finished arrows and 12 arrow shafts.
Also the remains of some kind of backpack and two birch-bark containers, one of them containing traces of maple leaves and charcoal fragments.
Further examinations showed that his stomach contained traces of various types of grains, plants, fruits and meat.
61 tattoos in the form of lines and crosses were found on his body. These tattoos were not made by a needle like modern tattoos, instead they were made by a fine incisions into which pulverised charcoal was rubbed.
Later examinations along with x-ray revealed a flint arrowhead in his left shoulder.
The entry wound was discovered in his back.
The arrow shattered the scapula and damaged nerves and blood vessels indicating that Ötzi might have bled to death. His head also suffered a serious injury, this could have been caused by a fall when the arrow hit him or a blow to the head.
He must have been involved in some kind of fight a few days before his death since his right hand shows a deep cut.
Ötzi was about 45 years old when he died, 160cm(5ft. 3in) tall and weighed around 50kg.
His body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy.
