Adeyemi ruled for 52 years before his demise, making him the longest-reigning Alaafin. The late Alaafin of Oyo was from the Adeyemi branch of the Alowolodu family. He was born on October 15, 1938. During his late childhood stage, he lived briefly at Iseyin. Adeyemi III was the son of Oba Adeyemi II, the former Alaafin of Oyo who was deposed and sent into exile in 1954 for having sympathy for the National Council of Nigerian Citizens. He succeeded Alaafin Gbadegesin Ladigbolu II in 1970 and was crowned on January 14, 1971. He was a lover of boxing. Adeyemi’s death came after the demise of the Soun of Ogbomoso, Jimoh Oyewumi, and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Saliu Adetunji, who died on December 12, 2021, and January 2, 2022, respectively.

The life of a man... Just like grass. When the wind passes over it, it is no more (Psalm 103:15). What then is the essence of all the fame and glory we are pursuing on this side of eternity? |
