This guy followed Ajimobi in his kangaroo installation. I would have loved to see his reaction after he might have enthroned and Governor Makinde choose to also install junior chiefs as kings. However, It seems current political climate in Oyo State favour him, his younger brother Kola Balogun is the current senator representing Oyo South senatorial District in the Nigeria Senate, he is the one senator from Oyo State elected under the platform of PDP. 11 Likes 1 Share |

JohnSin97:There is no argument here. We are just visiting the memory lane. Remember where we started from. The guy asked a question. We can not do some justice to the question without visiting little of history. In my earlier submission, I have said that as of today ooo, Soun of Ogbomoso, Alafin of Oyo and Olubadan of Ibadan are co-first obas in Oyo State In negation to your response to the guy question, we have hierarchy among obas in Yoruba land as of today. The hierarchy is however in different states of the federation as sanctioned by the ministry in charge of chieftaincy matter. 1 Like |

JohnSin97:My assertion was to that formative years. They came from somewhere abi. And few years after that people are also joining them abi. Everybody that have moved to Ibadan and have spent considerable years there are sons and daughters of Ibadan. Go to Olubadan palace and see how Mogagi of "new family" are being established. You moved to Ibadan in 1700 years, I moved there in 1800 years and so on. It is a complex city from that angle. Whether that are true sons and daughters of Ibadan or not, everybody in Ibadan today should know that there progenitors were not there in five hundreds ago. Where did they come from ? This is applicable to every town, nation of the Earth 1 Like |

JohnSin97: Ibadan, coined from the phrase "Eba Odan",[4] which literally means 'by the edge of the meadow', came into existence in 1829, during a period of turmoil that characterized Yorubaland at the time.[5] It was in this period that many old Yoruba cities such as old Oyo (Oyo ile), Ijaye and Owu disappeared, and newer ones such as Abeokuta, new Oyo (Oyo atiba) and Ibadan sprang up to replace them.[6] According to local historians, Lagelu founded the city, and was initially intended to be a war camp for warriors coming from Oyo, Ife and Ijebu.[7] As a forest site containing several ranges of hills, varying in elevation from 160 to 275 metres, the location of the camp offered strategic defence opportunities. Moreover, its location at the fringe of the forest (from which the city got its name) promoted its emergence as a marketing centre for traders and goods from both the forest and grassland areas. The church and mission in Ibadan, Yoruba country, 1850's In 1852, the Church Missionary Society sent David and Anna Hinderer to found a mission. They decided to build the mission and a church in Ibadan when they arrived in 1853.[8] Ibadan thus had initially begun as a military state and remained so until the last decade of the 19th century. The city-state also succeeded in building a large empire from the 1860s to the 1890s which extended over much of northern and eastern Yorubaland. It was appropriately nicknamed idi Ibon or “gun base”, because of its unique military character.[9] In Ibadan, unlike other Yoruba cities with traditional kingship institutions, the warrior class became the rulers of the city as well as the most important economic group. Ibadan grew into an impressive and sprawling urban center, such that by the end of 1829 Ibadan dominated the Yorùbá region militarily, politically and economically. The military sanctuary expanded even further when refugees began arriving in large numbers from northern Oyo following raids by Fulani warriors. After losing the northern portion of their region to the marauding Fulanis, many Oyo indigenes retreated deeper into the Ibadan environs. The Fulani Caliphate attempted to expand further into the southern region of modern-day Nigeria, but was decisively defeated by the armies of Ibadan in 1840, which eventually halted their progress. The colonial period reinforced the position of the city in the Yoruba urban network. After a small boom in rubber business (1901-1913), cocoa became the main produce of the region and attracted European and Levantine firms, as well as southern and northern traders from Lagos, Ijebu-Ode and Kano among others. The city became a major point of bulk trade. Its central location and accessibility from the capital city of Lagos were major considerations in the choice of Ibadan as the headquarters of the Western Provinces (1939) which ranged from the northernmost areas of Oyo State to Ekeremor, Bomadi and Patani, which were regions transferred from the old Delta province in the Old Western region and later Mid-west to the old Rivers state and later Bayelsa, in the redistricting of Nigeria carried out by the Yakubu Gowon administration shortly before the Nigerian civil war 4 Likes 1 Share |

MT:The earlier statement was partially correct because of the ancedent and formative pattern of the city. However, like it is obtainable in all other big towns of yoruba land, a person must be traceable to a particular village may be because farming was a dominant means of survival then and it could not be effectively be practiced in olden days towns. For instance, every Ilesha man must has a village, like for Ife man, Oyo man, Ijebu man etc. 2 Likes |

vibratingpenis:Olubadan position was not a kingship before, it was a Baale (like a ruler over village). However, Ibadan city was getting bigger and eventually became a very big city and one of the most populated city in Africa. Few decades ago, in the modern era, Baale of Ibadan was changed to Olubadan of Ibadan to assume the kingship status. Ibadan as a town was formed by olden days warriors who usually rested in the location and therefore, there is no true sons and daughters of Ibadan. It is a road side settlement which eventually became a very big city because of its central location to all other big towns in Yoruba. Olubadan used to be under Alafin of Oyo before. Now, duo with Soun of Ogbomoso are first class obas in Oyo State. Alafin of Oyo and Ooni of Ile-Ife have been in serious battle supremacy for long time. However, with the create of Osun State out of old Oyo State, the rift seems to be dieing down. 7 Likes 1 Share |

You can only deceive yourself. Your administration ruined so many lives and families while you were recklessly sacking people without tangible reasons but with propaganda. On mass, people kicked your ass away from government house in 2003. Your commissioner of finance and the Secretary to State Government among others were detained in the SIB Osogbo until they returned looted fund they connived with you to steal. May be you have forgotten, Akande bought 14 inch televisions which were being sold at that time for about #14,000 into Government Secretariat for precise amount of #106,000 per one. What about inflated beds you bought into governor house. Have you forgotten that you (and your administration) claimed that bought one bed for about #2,500,000 then between 1999 and 2003? You were the worst governor of Osun State of all time. Your administration was full of pains and agony. How people can easily forgot evil people and their works! You were jailed for 44 years for corruption by wicked Buhari military administration in 1984. 10 Likes 1 Share |
