How time flies..... His programs are always terrific.

He exposed alot of popular rich men. Infact, he exposed one of the company owner who sponsored the program. I think ST soap or so.(can't really remember).

My granny was a big fan of the show that calls in regularly when the phone lines are open for listeners views and comments. She's been following the program right from onset on radio (radio Lagos 107.5) till when it started airing on tv (galaxy TV).

Continue to rest on great man.

Nah man you be

His program will definitely send chills to your spine. He unravel quite a lot of deep spiritual related mysteries. He lived quite a short but quite an impactful life. Continue Resting legend.

Nkan nla lohun ton sele, nkan nla ahhh nkan nbe. Who could have forgotten Akolawole Akolawole Olawuyi ni. Man exposed a lot of horrors going in in the southwest then. It was only a question of time before the malevolent forces got him.
Only God knows the magnitude of evil that must have been done underground since his demise.

RIP good man, your memory lingers on cry
obembet:
When Kola Olawuyi died in 2007 at the age of 44, a lot of good people shed tears.
The man once ruled the airwaves with his Iriri Aye radio program that I grew up to.

When it's 8pm on Fridays in the South West, it's normal to see a lot of people huddled up around radio sets in street corners, homes and electricians' workshops as they listened to Kola Olawuyi's program. It was a weekly ritual we grew up to.

Kola Olawuyi was larger than life. The number of cases he tracked down and brought to life have not been done by anyone else around here since his death. No one has had that kind of confidence since. Reverend King's case was brought to light by him. Churches whose owners buried people alive in their buildings as rituals to draw crowd.

A lot of cases of abused children and people claiming to be witches to hurt others. Aja ile (underground killing houses) stories where kidnappers' dens were raided by him and brought to light.

Blood ritual killings and ritualists in the south west. Heck, there was a woman called Malaika that said she was God and created everyone and could do what she liked with anyone until Kola Olawuyi dragged her to light, and more.

The man was fearless and appeared unstoppable. Listening to him was scary and exciting. On one hand you admired his courage. On the other, you feared for his life. It wasn't surprising then that when he died, a lot of people's default setting was "Oh, they got him finally." Perhaps even he had that thought at the back of his mind, hence, at the end of every show, he'd always say: "Aa ma be obe nii besu, atelese a bena wo. Eni ba ni a ma bo nikan lawa o ni de ba nle" (loosely translated we'll always go out to work. It's those that don't want us to return that we won't meet when we return). His life was a mystery too. Even though he was a member of the Redeemed Church, the number of occultic cases and ritual killers he took on and exposed made people believe he was occultic himself.

When news of his death broke, the default reaction from most people was that the witches and ritualists he exposed finally got him and killed him. Some said he cut a tree around his house after he was warned not to, hence his death. Others said some occultic groups that he belonged to even cut off his head after his death because he belonged to them.

In the end, to lay all of that to rest, his family had to have an open burial and open casket for the 44-year old so everyone could see that he died of natural causes and wasn't mutilated or anything.

But again, he rode the mystery angle really hard too while he was alive. Maybe he even stoked it.

Whenever it was 8pm on Fridays and you heard Hubert Ogunde's "Sigba Awo" (open the occultic calabash) start playing on Kola Olawuyi's Iriri Aye program, you knew it was going to be a tough night.

Continue to rest in peace.

I used to get nightmares from this program then, issues started when he started condemning his traditionalist religion that was backing em and claimed he's a redeemed church member

u just don’t know anything

Do u care to know what killed him?

He mentioned it loud n clear that there’s a kidnappers den in sagamu n said he was on a mission to unravel it n also said another one is in Ibadan, that was d genesis of his problem because he used to say it live that many people are warning him not to say anything about it


Years later after he died we heard about soka in Ibadan, till today Jonathan gave an order from above to bring d case to abj n since then nobody heard anything

We never see person wen go tell us d sagamu own but in your mind u believe all those things were lies

I guess u don’t know about S.T soap that he exposed then?

Many of u self

Kolawole omo Baba Olawuyi

I never missed it because my mother never did..

Even my dad started listening to him and would ask where the guy got his gut from..

So many scary and gut-wrenching tales and secrets..

Chai. One was Baba Gborie ( head cutters in Iwo osun state), that story scared the living daylight out of me..

Not forgetting the 'respected Alfa ' that was steadily sleeping with his teenage daughter and eventually impregnated her severally ( disgusting!)

How many can one even recall?

Kolawole Olawuyi existed and bared secrets before Gist-Lover ever came into being, with cold and hard facts right in front of live camera

Sadly he died in his prime!

Damn! Man was a real legend in his trade..

I stan!

The lousy sound track of that program alone is Halloween. Not to talk of the shivers you get from the background stories and grissly eye witness account that was aired on TV
