The Ooni of Ife, Alayeluwa Oba Okunade Sijuwade is
dead. He died today in London at the age of 85.
Oba Sijuwade was the fifth Ooni of Ife. He climbed
unto the throne on December 6, 1980. As the Ooni of
Ife, he presided over the Ife territory, in the South
West Nigeria but his influence went far and beyond.
He came into office at the height of the supremacy
fight amongst Yoruba Obas. The crisis pitched him
against the Alaafin of Oyo. It festered on until Osun
state was carved out of the old Oyo State.
Before he became an Oba, he studied at Abeokuta
Grammar School and later at Northampton College in
the United Kingdom before he became a manager at
Leventis stores.
Oba Sijuwade’s term as Oba was characterised with
political treachery, as he was one of the traditional
rulers that meddled in politics. He was infamously
instrumental to the annulment of June 12, 1993,
elections won by late Moshood Abiola. The Ooni had
also been severally fingered in the failed effort to
have Senator Iyiola Omisore elected the governor of
Osun state in 2011.
He survived by several wives and children. saharareporters.com/2015/07/28/ooni-ife-dead |
shegebanti:Oloriburuku oya para e now. I can see how improved your life is with Buhari in government. I think Jonathan is also to blame for your poor diction and terrible spellings. |
In the fullness of time, the embarrassment will be cleaned up. Please bear with baba. In other news Under Bridge Oshodi ONE more CHANCE. |

Don't know why these girls go about rubbing their dignity in the mud. They seem to have the believe that they can never make it big in life and sort resort to sophisticated begging. They are what my friend call "Hungry Man Size" or "Atenu". Useless pikins always doing like impoverished Somalian refugees. Try create a convo with them and they expect you to be their breadwinner immediately. Where's Serching4Lovee? |
Defend whatever you believe in once you are convinced of your belief. I supported GEJ and I'll do it over again. Say me hi to my useless state governor Aregberascal. They lost their reputation defending GEJ right? While some people gained a "good" reputation defending that human error called Aregbe making him seem like the best thing after fried goat meat. Hypocrisy will kill most of you. |
Who's fooling who? PMB or the governors? "All politicians are liars"- Pastor Adeboye. |

More like the fat pig and the piglets. |
They loathe him so much but I've never seen them present a superior argument to dwarf his. All they do is rant all day like gorillas on heat whenever they see his threads. |

4. Never forget the devil's theory Sounds funny? Yes it does but there is actually what's called the devil's theory. This was as a result of a study carried out by a US senate committee headed by Joseph Nye to study why US is perennially at war. They came up with the devil's theory of which the "military-industrial complex". This means in a simple sense, the ploy by arms manufacturers to influence government officials and especially congressmen to make laws that will perpetually put the USA on the war front. This makes the USA to have a belligerent and aggressive foreign policy that makes it to perpetually be at war. More war, more profits for the multi-billion dollars arms manufacturing industry. They are powerful players in USA politics. President Buhari should be wary of this banana peel. We are still fighting boko haram without a headway yet. Don't be instigated into go to war in any other part of Nigeria. We can't really fight on many fronts. Which countries buy arms from the USA? All countries, but once you submit yourself to them, you are done for. Ask Egypt, Ukraine, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia; they are all puppets of the Americans. 5. The American Corporations Are Back Like I posited earlier, the USA is unrepentantly Capitalist. Behind this capitalism and the frantic efforts to spread it to all corners of the world are the American corporations; the conglomerates. They are very influential, they are well grounded in government, they have a very loud but invisible voice. They simply make things happen. They drive the US economy with the government only playing a regulatory role. For keen followers of our politics, Nigeria started having a rocky relationship with the USA since the time of late President Yar Adua. I read a report on Nigerian Tribune that time about America's cold war with the Yar Adua government that time which was as a result of the government's refusal to renew the licenses of some American oil companies and the hostile attitude of the country towards some American corporations as well as its open arm economic policies to Lebanese, Indian and Chinese companies making serious inroads into our economy. Remember Vaswani brothers(they were later clipped by their wings), Tata, Sinotruck, Bajaj, Afcot Mahindra, Viju etc. USA will show you love in return for favourable policies that will help the growth of its companies. The profits make by these American companies are then repatriated back home. "Cash exportation (read about the penetration thesis). We should know that what informed colonialism in the first place was the advent of capitalism haralded by the industrial revolution. Buy cheap raw materials, take it to developed economy, process it into semi-finished and finished goods and sell back as costly products Eg, crude oil, chocolate etc. Enough said. PMB should be careful of this trap. USA will encourage a free market in exchange for aids and grants. Free market gives their companies free hand to exploit the Nigerian economy and crumble it the more. Still the same age long primary production of raw materials. Nigerian companies can never grow like that. A free market economy is not good for a country serious about development. 6. The theory of self help This was propounded by the realist school of though who always hinge their arguments on the selfish nature of humans. They believe humans are always given to seek their interests and promote their interests. Sadly enough, that's the reality in international political parlance. Everyman for himself. Countries will always pursue, promote and protect their interests first and foremost. Realists believe that for you to survival in the international system, you must use the concept of self help. The best way to do it is do it yourself. The way some people were jubilating as if a visit to the USA signals the end of our problems reek of ignorance and myopism. We should learn how to negotiate with those guys out there. You go negotiate in international politics from a position of weakness. The international jungle is not for gentle folks. Look at Iran, N Korea, Brazil, Germany, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, they don't negotiate from a position of weakness. You don't grovel before the US lest they take you for granted. Look at the pitiable situation of Greece today. I believe the hand of fellowship the USA is extending to this new government points to just one thing "let's secure this market before it goes away again". We really turned these peeps to the alpha and omega. We were a force to reckon with in the 70s, the rallying point for African countries. We could really hold our own among countries. We were a recognised voice in the Non Alignment Movement. We should begin to look inward for the solutions what Prof Billy J Dudley called the indigenous African approach. I pray God gives the president and his team the wisdom to avoid the traps set by the behemoth called USA. I pray for God's wisdom for him as he leads this nation. I'll advise him to extend his popular aphorism to the international political parlance " we are for everybody and for nobody" Constructive and intellectually-driven criticism and contrary opinions are welcome. God bless President Muhammadu Buhari God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria Cc Lalasticlala FP please, let's see a battle of intellects, I wanna learn from my peeps. |
