It is the belief of the Yoruba people that a king does not die, instead they waja.

Waja literally translates to "enter into the attic".

A more figurative usage is that the king has gone to join his ancestors.

But that is cultural. The reality is that every man will taste death, whether you are an Alaafin or not.

shocked


The boyfriends of his young wives are so happy now, they're coming to take their girls back home. The girls in return are so happy because finally they're free from boring sex, though they got the money and enjoy life to the fullest, but their womanhood really suffered alot.


You were there and witnessed it when their womanhood suffered a lot abi? undecided aproko

Traditional rulers in Nigeria, [b]with the exception of the Oba of Benin, have lost it in terms of love and care for their subjects [/b]and showing true concern for them. They're all off mingling with politicians and widening an already elongated gap between themselves and their people.

Most Oyo folks won't miss him.
Which oba Benin undecided the same one who kept a 17 yr old boy in prison with that big fat lie that the boy stole 250million in cash.
Bros no make me vex this morning it's too early to start dropping lamba those obas are all useless starting with that one you mentioned undecided

This year 2022 is not smiling at all in Oyo State.
Gov. Makinde will be on Guinness book of record as the only Governor that lost three highly respected Monachs(Soun of Ogbomoso, Olubadan of Ibadan, and now Alaafin of Oyo) in the South West and a former governor of Oyo State( Gov. Alao Akala)

Well, it's with gratitude to GOD for a life well spent.
83 years is no joke.



Bros, like I'm confused now on the matter.
Another report said he is still alive and that the news of his demise is false.

Credible media outfit like Vanguard,Punch, NTA, Channels etc should break such news not faceless bloggers.
Let's wait for more updates to the counter.

Alaafin Oyo RUMOURED DEATH UNFOUNDED

It has come to the notice of the Office of the Director of Media and Publicity to the Alaafin of Oyo about a fake report making the wave in the social media, by a disgruntled group of bloggers, about the imaginary death of His Imperial Majesty, IKu Baba Yeye, Oba (Dr.) Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi 111, the Alaafin of Oyo.

Members of the public are hereby urged to disregard the unfounded report , as the Paramount Ruler is hale and hearty .

Precisely on Monday and Tuesday this week, Oba Adeyemi, accompanied by some of his wives (Ayabas), children, aides and well wishers was at the Durbar Stadium ,Oyo, for physical fitness exercises as usual.

He has neither fallen sick nor rushed to the hospital for any serious ailment, hence he and his family remain agile and active .

The general public should not entertain any fear at all, as IKu Baba Yeye is healthy, physically fit and mentally stable.

Signed
'Bode Durojaiye, Alaafin's Media and Publicity Director.

could be why Osibanjo did not see him on his last trip to Oyo State and instead saw the Olubadan.

No president/vice president visits Oyo without checking up on the Alaafin.

Please no offence, what makes him a great monarch?

Is it because of his inventions, job creation, leadership style that contributes to community development? or Is it because he married many wife's that makes him great?
