Near success syndrome? There is nothing like near success syndrome. The kingdom of God is not about worldly possessions but of RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit
farem: Foremost human rights attorney, Femi Falana (SAN) has agreed to represent Moses Adegoke’s family as they move to prosecute his high profile killers!
Olunmercy56: I'm so happy with this news. I have not heard any good news about that evil man called Adedoyin since this case have started. We need good justice in country
No justice at all. Tuesday is the next case at Gudu High Court, Abuja
Four teenage wanebe yahoo boys from a poor background were arrested, paraded and given media coverage on their arrest for killing Sofiat. A fake Prince of Ife Kingdom, Raman Adedoyin and his son, Rohim Adedoyin murdered Timothy Adegoke. They were not paraded, no media coverage of the trial �. The family was informed lately of the date of the commencement of the trial at Gudu District High Court, Abuja last week and the family could barely make it to the court.
I watched the video after court session:
1. Adedoyin openly told Gbade, Timothy's brother 'wa ku ni' meaning you will die (someone on trial o cursing without any remorse, what a braze boldness)
2. He was chauffeured away in his SUV (whatever happens to Black Maria o or prison vehicle. A criminal is a criminal)
Any pastor that promotes personal dreams and vision above the word of God must be fake. Epistle of Jude explains that. They are all being exposed by Maureen Badejo on her youtube blog

It was one of Oduduwa's daughters that gave birth to Olowu. When the baby Olowu was taken to his grandfather Oduduwa to play with him, he became captivated with the Oduduwa's crown and held on to it. When the crown was taken from the baby he began to cry. The crying was so deep and annoying until the crown was given back to him. So, he became 'Asunkungbade' the first person to receive crown from Oduduwa. Being the first to be crowned, he became so proud, arrogant and very disrespectful to others. He envied and resented Oranmiyan, his own uncle, so much that he always avoid him; believing that his own crown came before his.
When Oranmiyan died, Olowu now a senior cousin to Alaafin Dada Ajaka, the heir to the throne of Oyo Katunga, waged war against Oyo, subdued the kingdom and forced Dada Ajaka into exile. The Oyomesi realizing how weak Dada Ajaka was now invited Sango, a step brother to Dada Ajaka to take over the stool without informing the Olowu about their decision. Olowu got provoked by the installation of Sango as the new Alaafin and he went ahead to waged wars against Oyo. Sango defeated the Olowu and his war chiefs, and chased Olowu far away from his territories. From thence, Olowu became a wanderer, a war monger specialised in pillaging and destroying anything that stood on his ways.
Orile-Owu near Oje town along Offa in Ibadan was later destroyed by the combined efforts of Ife, Ijebu, Oyo and some Egba warriors when the reigning Olowu then was captured, killed and buried in the middle of the river to avert the curse of killing a descendant of Oduduwa.
Owu descendants later run to Abeokuta as refugees and they carved out a settlement for themselves where they install their own king with the title of Olowu. They are not Egba people.
Obasanjo himself is not an Egba man in the true sense of it. He is an Owu man.
The Owus were originally savannah dwellers on the bank of River Niger, who were neighbours to the Nupes, Baribas, Oko people and Oyo Katunga (before Oranmiyan pitched his tent with Oloyo). In fact, writers up to the 11th and 12th centuries mistook Owu for Nupes because of their warlike posture. They were also cotton farmers and Ifa (oracle) worshippers because Agbonmiregun also known as Setilu, a well-known Ifa priest who was the father of Obatala had lived at Owu. What is not certain is whether Obatala had started ruling at Ife when his father was Owu or not. All the same, their forefathers (Owu people) were cotton farmers and warriors who went on long war expeditions and explorations and reached as far as Ife in the forest region. It was in the process the prince of Owu was said to have married to Iyunade, by whom he got his first son, Ajibosin. This Ajibosin later reigned on his father’s throne as Olowu. The question now is, how could a kingdom that existed alongside Ife (before the reign of Oduduwa) be founded by an Oduduwa’s descendant?
StUriah: Of course, the original title of the headship of Ibadan was Baale just as we have Baale of Ogbomosho, Baale of Apomu & co. Beaded crowns are only meant for Oduduwa descendants like the Alaafin, Olowu, Obokun, Alaketu etc. But in a situation where you have military commanders as Baale of their towns, none of them would be willing to drop their military title for a mere title of a Baale.
Ojo Aburumaku, Latoosa were Aare-Ona Kakanfos during their times but they remained the Baales of their towns, performing civil administration in addition to handling military affairs in their regions. So it will not be out of place to describe Kakanfo Oluyedun as Baale of Ibadan during his lifetime. Bashorun Ogunmola too was Baale of Ibadan.
Kindly remove Owu as descendant of Oduduwa. Owu was never a descendant of Oduduwa just like Ifon progenitors
StUriah: Oluyedun was never a king; he only assumed the title of Aare-Ona Kakanfo, and Lakanle was his Otun Aare-Ona Kakanfo. The title of King of Ibadan was never in existence then. It was at the same time that Ojo Aburumaku made himself as the Aare-Ona Kakanfo at Ogbomosho, and Ojo Amepo also made himself as the Aare-Ona Kakanfo in Epo discrict. Thus, we have 3 Aare-Ona Kakanfos at the same time in Yoruba land.
Senator Lekan Balogun is a descendant of the famous Balogun Alli from Iwo land who was instructed by Bashorun Ogunmola (the supreme war commander in Ibadan) to relocate to Ibadan when they both went to war together. Bashorun Ogunmola himself was from a town named Fesu, a subordinate town within the Iwo kingdom whereas Balogun Alli himself came originally from Ogbomosho (from the royal household of Aare-Ona Kakanfo Ojo Aburumaku).
It was when the reigning Oluwo of Iwo at the time was unable to curb the nefarious activities of the children of Alli, the Balogun of the town, when Balogun Alli escorted Ogunmola to war, that the Oluwo of Iwo sent emissarries to Ogunmola to save his land from being taken over by the children of his Balogun who was at the war front with Bashorun Ogunmola.
Bashorun Ogunmola, being an Iwo man, having realized the implication of having an Ogbomosho warrior taken over Iwo, his hometown, quickly employed diplomacy in settling the issue by convincing Balogun Alli Iwo to relocate to Ibadan; that Iwo was too small a town for a powerful warrior like him to be. Bashorun Ogunmola belittled Iwo town so much that Balogun Alli felt so embarrassed to return to Iwo from the war he escorted Ogunmola to. It was Ogunmola that resettled Balogun Alli Iwo in Ibadan and gave him lands and incorporated him into Ibadan council of chiefs
Thanks for educating me further. Most literatures have Oluyedun as the second Baale of Ibadan. You may have to reconcile this
Gbagura: Is lekan balogun an iwo Man, same iwo in Osun state?
He is a descendant of Ali Iwo who was from Iwo in Osu State. The current Ibadan is made up of people who came from different Yoruba towns to camp for the intratribal wars. Even Afonja's son Oluyedun was the second king of Ibadan.
