It's an oriki of yoruba origin. To know the meaning I would suggest you search for proudly yoruba on Facebook and ask them to help paste the question on their page. |

Ajala is Oriki like Akanbi , Alake and so on. I think you should ask the culture section folks too. |

Ajala is a short form on Alajala... Which means Victor. The Ajalas are warriors and are therefore Ogun worshippers, hence the statement: "Ajala al'aja n'ibon" |
