The ancient city of Ile-Ife, the cradle of the Yoruba race, came alive on Saturday as eminent personalities from across Nigeria gathered as the Permanent Chairman of the Southern Nigerian Traditional Rulers Council (SNTRC), Arole Oodua Olofin Adimula and the Natural Head of the Oduduwa race worldwide, the Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, CFR, Ojaja II, installed Chief Mrs. Olufunsho Amosun, wife of former Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, as the Yeye Moremi Oodua,

In a statement on Saturday by the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Otunba Moses Olafare said the colourful installation ceremony, which held at Afenworo Square opposite the Ooni’s Palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State, also coincided with the 60th birthday celebration of the philanthropist and founder of the Uplift Development Foundation.

Among the dignitaries present at the historic event was former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who was represented by his wife, Mrs. Bola Obasanjo, amid cheers from guests and traditional enthusiasts.

Speaking during the ceremony, Obasanjo described the Yeye Moremi title as one of the most revered honours in Yorubaland, noting that the title symbolises courage, sacrifice, service to humanity and commitment to cultural preservation.

The former President commended the Ooni of Ife for sustaining the rich cultural heritage of the Yoruba race and using the throne to promote unity and development across the country.

He also congratulated Chief Mrs. Olufunsho Amosun on her installation, describing her as a woman of virtue, compassion and outstanding commitment to humanity through her numerous philanthropic activities.

Earlier in her acceptance speech, the newly installed Yeye Moremi Oodua expressed profound gratitude to God and the Ooni of Ife for the extraordinary honour bestowed upon her.

Mrs. Amosun said she was deeply humbled to be chosen among many distinguished women for the prestigious title, pledging to uphold the virtues and legacies of the legendary Queen Moremi Ajasoro.

“I return all glory, honour and adoration to Almighty God for this rare privilege and extraordinary honour bestowed upon me as the Yeye Moremi Oodua.

“I salute the legendary Moremi Ajasoro, the iconic heroine of Yorubaland whose bravery, sacrifice and selflessness remain a shining light to generations. The shoes she left behind are too great to fill, but I wholeheartedly and humbly accept this responsibility with diligence and commitment,” she said.

She noted that the title was not merely ceremonial, but a divine call to serve God and humanity with passion, empathy, humility and integrity.

“To whom much is given, much is expected. I will not take this honour for granted or handle it with levity. I fully understand that this title is a call to service and greater responsibility,” she added.

The newly installed Yeye Moremi further prayed for divine wisdom, strength and enablement to make meaningful impact in society and justify the confidence reposed in her.

Also speaking at the event, Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, stressed the need for greater unity among Yoruba leaders irrespective of political affiliations.

According to him, the gathering reflected the collective interest and unity of the Yoruba nation.

“This is Yorubaland and there is no political party here today. What we are seeing is unity in the interest of the Yoruba nation. If we can continue to come together like this, then there is great hope for the Yoruba race,” Makinde said.

In his remarks, the Ooni who is also the Co-Chairman of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) congratulated Chief Mrs. Olufunsho Amosun on her installation, describing her as a compassionate and selfless woman whose lifestyle reflects the virtues of Moremi Ajasoro.

The Ooni narrated the heroic story of Moremi Ajasoro, who sacrificed greatly for the liberation and protection of the Yoruba people, noting that the title of Yeye Moremi is reserved for women of exceptional character, integrity and service to humanity.

Ooni Ogunwusi charged the newly installed Yeye Moremi to continue impacting lives positively and promoting the cultural values, unity and progress of the Yoruba race.

The revered monarch also lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his continued support for traditional institutions and cultural heritage in Nigeria.

The queens of the Ooni, Olori Aderonke Ogunwusi and Olori Ashley Ogunwusi, also accompanied the newly installed Yeye Moremi during parts of the ceremony, adding glamour and cultural splendour to the historic occasion.

Smoking: Highly hazardous. It destroys the kidneys and lungs with zero safety net. Once the damage starts, there’s no reversing it.

Drinking: Also dangerous, but if done in moderation (social drinking), it’s slightly more manageable. Still, it’s a slippery slope.

Womanizing: Health-wise, this is arguably the least dangerous of the three—provided you aren't raw-loading and you're using proper protection.

If we set aside the financial drain (which affects all three), womanizing carries the lowest physical risk. The irony of life is that you’ll see someone indulging in all three who still lives longer and stays wealthier than the person living a "saintly" life. Life no balance.

Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, has accused the Federal Government of allegedly using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to harass and intimidate opposition leaders across the country.

Mohammed made the allegation while speaking in an emotional tone after receiving a Safety Ambassador Award from the Institute of Safety Professionals of Nigeria (ISPON).

The governor claimed that the APC-led Federal Government was abusing state institutions, including the courts and the anti-graft agencies, to harass Nigerians who do not belong to the ruling party.

“The APC-led Federal Government think they can use the courts, an institution of government, and the EFCC to pursue and prosecute Nigerians who are not within their party. If they don’t stop, we are going to declare war,” he said.

Mohammed expressed shock over what he described as attempts to link him to terrorism, despite enjoying constitutional immunity as a sitting governor and serving as a leading figure in the opposition.

Nonsense, so the worshippers did not see fresh diggings in the mosque or was the mosque as sand dune?
That bombing was a TAQQYAH decoy to change the narrative about Islamic Terrorists killing Christians.

RIP to the departed, condolences to their family.

I think the North needs a departure from radical islam and embrace progressive world order. The future of the North is still fraught with insecurities in the foreseeable future because of the teeming illiterates they always produce. The North would implode someday.

Billionaire politician, Ned Nwoko has taken a moment to publicly praise his wife, Laila Nwoko, celebrating her loyalty, patience, and quiet strength amid public attention and controversies.

Taking to his Instagram page, Ned expressed his admiration, love, and gratitude for Laila’s unwavering support, patience, and quiet strength in both private and public life.

“In a world where noise travels faster than truth, I want to speak about the woman I know, the woman I love, and the woman I cherish, my wife, Laila,” he wrote.

Ned went on to highlight her unique qualities, noting that Laila is not someone who seeks attention on social media.

She prefers a private, peaceful life, focusing her energy on what truly matters, her family, her marriage, and the life she shares with him.

“She has always been my rock, my source of calm in the storm, and the reason I remain grounded, praising her unwavering support. Ned added.

He further noted that Laila does not feel the need to defend herself online because she knows her worth is not determined by public opinion.

This heartfelt tribute comes after the marital fallout between Ned and his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, with Laila stepping in to defend her husband amid accusations that she almost affected the marriage negatively.

Ned also acknowledged Laila’s depth of character, her grace in handling challenges, and her ability to inspire through quiet strength.

Wish one be 'honour killing' again

Who are they honouring abeg.

It's like once you join that religion your common sense disappears.

But then, there are Muslims in my region - the SW and even in my family who have no traces of that kind of behaviours.

It then makes me wonder if it has to do with religion or characters/natures
