One Mr. Ayandotun Ayanlakin who is being referred to as the occupier of the office London Royal Ambassador wrote an article in the Nigerian Tribune of February 3rd 2008 page 42 concerning Olubadan and Alaafin.

For any Alaafin to equate himself to the Olubadan or aspire to level up with the Olubadan is not only a mistake but also sacrilege.

There are two types of ego. One is child ego while the other is parent ego. It is unfortunate that over many years now, extravagant bragging bourn out of unwarranted empty ambition is evident. With the royal highness. It is high time to straighten things out so that the mind of the present generation of Yoruba children are not polluted with exaggerated and falsified history in a bid to launder the -image of an individual out of desperation.

It is not their fault. When I read the communiqué on page 27 of Nigerian Tribute February 9 2008 I quickly remember: a quotation of A.
