Ebora Owu needs to read this...

Oba Ademuagun was installed as Deji on the 28th October, 1957. In the same year 1957 he was inducted into the Western House of Chiefs which we know as "Ipade Lobaloba

The incident happened during the very first meeting he attended. All selected Oba in the region attended the meeting with Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was the Premier of the western region. In Ondo province, only five(5) Obas attend the meeting namely; Deji of Akureland, Olowo of Owo, Osemawe of Ondo, Ewi of Ado and Elekole of Ikole

At the meeting, all the Obas were already seated before Awolowo walked in majestically in his usual way. Immediately he arrived, all the Obas stood up except Oba Ademuagun, Ekun oko Eyesorun. The other Obas were surprised, seeing this new and young Oba from Akure seated when Awolowo came in. Awolowo himself was surprised and asked who he was and he replied, "I am the Deji of Akureland, Ademuagun Adesida II."

Awolowo queried his audacity, and Oba Ademuagun responded, "was it polite seeing the likes of Kabiesi Adesoji Aderemi or Alaafin Ladigbolu, who are older than us, standing up for you while you walk in. In London where we both studied law, have you ever heard that someone walked in and the Queen stood up. In fact Queen will enter a venue last. Even if Nigeria system of government is different from theirs, respects must be given to whom it is due. We here, inherited our father's stool and it's only death that can remove us but you, your time on this seat will soon lapse. You got there by thumb and through thumb you shall be removed. Me, Ademuagun will never stand up for you."

He asked those Obas including Oba Akenzua of Benin, to get back to their seats but they couldn't. They were just watching the drama. A serious altercation ensued, after which Oba Ademuagun had to remove his cap(crown), handed it to Awolowo and dared him to put it on if he could so as to prove he deserves the respect he demanded from him. The other Obas took it from Awolowo and before they could turn back Oba Ademuagun had left the venue. Thanks to Olodumare that some omodeowas followed him to the meeting, they had to retrieve the crown and ran after him. The feud between both Icons was later settled here in Akure by Dr Nnamdi Azikwe after many years

He exercised his bravery before Awolowo, maybe because he was a lawyer who knows law like him

Olori Asake Adebola Adesida, the then Eyesorun witnessed this and Regent Adesida Adebusola Alice confirmed it

Respect to Akure Deji
The omo Owa Omo Ekun laafin
Iku pa ni han da're

This story is false in its entirety. Yoruba Obas have always observed simple protocol and the Deji of Akure will never remove his crown publicly no matter the circumstances. The story is simply an imagination of the writer.

THERE'S NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE. THE IGWE OF IGBO IN AKURE SUFFERED THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS AWOLOWO FROM THE "OMODE OWAS".

THE DEJI OF AKURE, ADEMUAGUN, WAS "OMO OWA OMO EKUN. OJIJI KOGUN ODU-DU-IWA MEANING "A LION BREED, A TIGER BREED, THE FAITH, THE CHARACTER(ODU-DU-IWA).

THE FACT IS OBASANJO IS A PUZZLE, A JIGSAW AND AN EXPERIMENT. SO ALSO WAS AWOLOWO.

MAY OLODUMARE BLESS THE YORUBAS IN THE NAME OF ODU-DU-IWA. ASE ASE ASE.

WELL DONE RICHARD AFOLAYAN.

One thing which annoys the Edo in me is the constant lies and appropriation of history and culture done by the Yoruba.
1) For your information Oba Akenzua lead the Midwest out of the western region. I don't recall your fabled Yoruba monarch doing anything this brave.

2) you just had to mention the Oba of Benin to give importance to your fake story about Yoruba monarchs whom nobody cares about

3) Stop overusing the word "Oba", you Yoruba do this all the time ! Use the titles of your monarchs and while speaking English, use the English word for monarch which is "monarch" or use the titles of your monarchs.
The reason why the Oba of Benin is referred as Oba even when we speak English is that his title is "Oba".
Your grandfathers' monarchs copied the title of the Oba of Benin and you guys just go on with the copying, your copying of other people's culture is so advanced that many things you do and say make 0 sense.

If you want to talk about the Oni, then you can refer to him as Oni or monarch (eventhough he really is just a priest).
