I am a living testimony of this. It's true. I served as a youth Corps in the village in 2015/2016 Batch 'A'. The local government is IFEDAYO, and I was the C.L.O for that set. The King is generous and kindhearted. He gave Corpers free accommodations and stipends. He always organises parties for the new Corpers posted to the village. He is an epitome of good Leadership.

Jah bless the king

Good question. However, when we get to that sustainability 'bridge', we will cross. Let's go with the momentum and see where it leads.

Laudable and life-changing initiative and endeavour.

God Bless you

Are you sure these kids are not looking for white clients for the King on that laptops... They are future skull miners and Yahoo boys

Khayceeofficial:
This is a myth

If this is reliably true. I suggest that the King of that town be made the King Of Nigeria

I suggest he stay in his palace if he wants to live because those leaders from the N part of Nigeria will not let him see another sun if her comes out.

Tears on my eyes

So people who wants to be remembered for positive things still exits. Live long and prosper great king.

That's 1000% true. The king of Oke-Ila is the Chairman, board of trustees of my organization.

Aside from that school, he has other humanitarian projects.

He's truly a man of influence. Leadership at the most basic level and I'm sure that John Maxwell will agree with me on this.

What's the essence of money? What's the essence of religion? What's the essence of politics? If it ain't about people and making the world a better place...

Kudos to HRH Oba Abolarin, igba odun, odun kan ni.

Nice one this is commendable!!!

What is the source of his money??

He was a polytechnic lecturer before he ascended the throne of his forefathers. He is not a rich man in the material sense of it ,but he is comfortable.

What makes the difference here is that while some of his colleagues kings are using their positions as kings to buy Bentleys,Mercedes and other exotic cars,his own passion is education and that's what he prioritises.

I know this because I know somebody that knows him.

sinkhole:
Do you know this school? Abolarin College in Oke-ila, Osun State.

NO school fees
Free hostel
Free food
Free internet
Free uniform
Free laptop for every child
24/7 Power supply

ALL paid by the town’s king. The king teaches too in the school.

We should celebrate such a nigerian!

What makes this school remarkable is that one major criteria for getting in is being poor. If your parents are rich, you cannot get admission.

Unlike other schools, Abolarin College wants poor kids who are very brilliant.

If you are poor but brilliant. The king will admit you!

It doesn’t matter the religion. It is not about nepotism, neither is it restricted to Yoruba children nor children from Oke ila.

It is about any less privileged child anywhere who is willing to be educated.

That is why the only criteria for admission is poverty and brilliance.

All bankrolled by huge debt. Aregbesola practically adopted osun pupil and stopped paying their civil servant parents.

I know this monarch personally. Before he was crowned the Orangun of Oke-Ila, he had been prominent for touching lives and encouraging kids to seek the best education. It came to us all a big surprise that he would choose to give up a very promising legal and high paying political jobs to confine himself to such rural settlement like Oke-Ila. He holds as B.Sc, Msc, LLB, and BL. Doksy as he is foundly nicknamed is a very exemplary monarch. May he live long

Nice one education is very important.

How much have you made from Programming??

I can not be sure that he's doing it without getting anything from it.

Some people will take pictures of themselves with group of children creating scenes of them doing something for free for those children but behind the camera it's something else.

Yes

Wow!! Person fit reason am.
Thanks

Could this be true

Very true, and the King is well known to me, Infact he is a friend to my family. Early 2019, I promised to pay the school fees of a boy that I knew, whose parents were struggling financially, but before I could, Oba Abolarin had taken in the boy. He is a true leader, and a great but no-noise-making philantropist.

Thanks for sharing. A great contribution to Humankind.

That's interesting, I like to work with such great minds, say, would you know if the Kabiyesi needs an English teacher and I can proof read or write his speeches and letters as well

Wonderful from the king....God will continue to strength you to take it up to the university level

God bless this.
I also have a dream of doing something similar, God help me

Tifunloran:
Very true.
I have a brother who worked in the school and a Corper who just finished his service.
One Ila Orangun is a peaceful town to live

See name

But here in Oyo, Alaafin is busy marrying all young NCE girls that the youths are supposed to be enjoying

Most kings in Yoruba land are ready made men, before becoming kings. Many of then have Excelled in their different fields of career. This king has made his money when he was in US.
