This story is not true, he died in an accident while returning to Ibadan from Lagos. It was popurlaly believed that chief Obafemi Awolowo killed with jazz because there was a power tussle btw the two of them. Do your findings well

The story is very true.

That act leads to the dethronement of the then Alaafin and he was banished to Lagos.


History need to be return to our School curriculum.

Yoruba people and jazz.....you don't fvck with royalty and get away with it

In Nigeria when one exposes evil of these Yoruba and Hausa criminals in positions, they will pay their mumu journalists to demonizing the messagers as "arrogant ".


Yoruba is evil. Maybe that was why Britain equipped Fulani jihadists to whipped Yoruba race out completely in 1966, but Biafrans soldiers didn't knew when they protecting Yoruba race from being whipped out. Britain with annoyance, turned against Biafrans race, but by the grace of Chuwku Okike Abiama saved Biafrans for doing the right thing but for the evil Yoruba race.

So why did they name the major street in surulere,lagos after him?

Or we have another bode Thomas
His good side:

He became a member of Regional House of Assembly in 1951. From there, he, Prest and Akintola were selected as members of the House of Representatives. Sir Adesoji Aderemi, Ooni of Ife also joined them in the Central Council of Ministers. But, Thomas was the leader; astute, workaholic, thoughtful and forward-looking.

On the floor of the House, Thomas was a charismatic speaker. He was a lover of facts. He was a fire brand nationalist. He wanted self-rule and independence at a faster pace his colleagues from other zones could not comprehend.

During the debate on self-rule, his speech infuriated the legislators from the North. Thomas labelled them collaborators in the extension of British rule. He did not only speak; he acted. Thomas and the three AG parliamentarians consequently resigned from the Council of Ministers in protest over the elongation of colonialism. On that note, the MacPherson Constitution collapsed immediately.

In the quest to preserve Lagos as part of the old West, Thomas was also at the forefront. In contrast, H.O. Davies was campaigning vigorously for the retention of Lagos as a symbol of national unity.

At the 1953 London Constitutional Conference held in August, AG vigorously campaigned for the preservation of Lagos as part and parcel of the region. Awo, the AG leader and Thomas, Deputy Leader of the party, were delegates to the conference.

Whenever he set a positive goal for himself,every obstacle on the way must be uprooted.His successes in law practice, politics and government were hinged on his sheer resolve to triumph in the face of all odds.Bode Thomas was a founding member of ACTION GROUP which sprang up from EGBE OMO ODUDUWA.

He was the first Legal Adviser of the group.He was a senior at the bar to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Hezekiah Oladipo Davies, Justice GBA Coker, and Udo Udoma. Bode Thomas and Ahmadu Bello, Premier of the North, were also not the best of friends. I will give you reasons.

Bode defended Ahmadu Bello before the colonial court over allegations of financial embezzlement of Native Authorities funds. Thomas won the case and Ahmadu Bello was freed. But, he was perplexed at the way the Sokoto prince fretted in the court room. Bode Thomas after winning Ahmadu Bello’s case insulted him. He called him names. He saw Bello as unlettered and uncultured. Bello’s unpleasant encounter with Thomas made him conclude that his more qualified educated rivals in the South were pompous and arrogant.

WisdomFlakes:


He was a prominent founding member of Action Group which was the leading/ruling party in the Western Region and was Awolowo's bossom friend, before his untimely death. His death led the Action Group to dethrone the Alaafin, sending him on exile.


Who saw him barkin like a dog before he died?

However, in Benin, 1999 before the gubernatorial elections in February, the then military administrator of Edo State, Navy Commander Anthony Ibe Onyearugbulem, boasted to close adsociates that if the Oba of Benin HRM, Oba Erediauwa or his Chiefs interfered by issuing political statement to favor Lucky Imasuen of APP than Lucky Igbinedion of PDP, that what he will do to Benin will be more than 1897 Benin Massacre....he later denied it but the palace was convinced he actually said so, and some Chiefs replied that there will be super natural consequences. .. the MilAd was on record to have brought his father to beg the Oba of Benin, he went to New Covenant Gospel Church Benin and a host of churches to seek for prayers. ..... BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER. HE DIED QUIETLY!!!! He didn't make a year after that insult ... this same Onyearugbulem had a record in Ondo State as the Military Administrator who arrested the Pa. Adekunle Ajasin, and humiliated the octagenarian sage and former governor of the state, throwing him like a sack of beans into a land-rover for daring to ask Abacha, to conduct credible elections.


In 1975, Brigadier George Agbazika Innih, then Military Governor of Old Bendel State disrespected the then Oba of Benin, HRM Akenzua II, and he was reported to have joking ly told the Oba that he can withdraw his staff of office any time he wants..... it was common knowledge that Innih, bolted away from the government house Benin when he started seeing ghosts and caskets everywhere

So these stories do have elements of truth, do not mess with royal fathers, they may not have bad intentions to harm anyone who insults them, but the shrine leaders can over do things too just to cause wahala, so best advise. .... don't disrespect them, leave them alone ooo

Religion apart, there is supernatural power for kings especially foremost kings like Ooni, Alaafin, and other prominent kings in Yoruba land. If they use their stool and some ancient artifacts they have to curse u, u will be miserable for the rest of ur life. That's why I pity some of those people on nairaland that talk anyhow to kings cos this is a faceless group. The day ur cup will be full then u will know power is still in existence.

Maybe his arrogance killed him. How can you tell your elder, especially a king who is twice your age to stand up and greet you. Normally are people not supposed to prostrate and say kabiyesi!!! when they visit the king ?
