Going through this passage, there's a paragraph that really interest me which I will like to clarify.

To start with, I am not surprised by Wasiu's behavior at the airport.

He is very arrogant and proud because he never knew that he would be in the position he accidentally found himself.

What concerns me is that of the vacant tool of Awùjalẹ̀ of Ìjẹ̀búland which some people are insinuating that Wasiu might be the next Awùjalẹ̀ because he is Olori Omo Oba.

For clarity, the Olori Omo Oba title bestowed on Wasiu is just an honorary chieftaincy title. This title was first given to late Otunba Subomi Ashiru Balogun just to honour him.

It has nothing to do with any ruling house in Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde.

Although, Ọ̀túnba Subomi Ashiru Balogun belonged to one of the 8 families in Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House.

Secondly, Wasiu is not from Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde. His father is from Epe. He is an Ifa Oracle man. He migrated to Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde and settled down at Fìdípọ̀tẹ̀ Street in Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde where he practiced his Ifa Oracle tradition.

So, there's no link between Wasiu's dad and any Ruling House in Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde. For this reason there's no way he could have fought for Awùjalẹ̀ stool because he doesn't belong to any ruling house which is Fìdípọ̀tẹ̀ Ruling House.

Thirdly, there's no rift in Fùṣẹngbùwà which is the next ruling Ruling House as claimed by some people.

The Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House comprises of eight families in which each family have its own Olórí-Ẹbí and then the overall Olórí-Ẹbí. The meeting is on going in each of the 8 families in Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House to deliberate on concensus candidate to be recommended to the kings makers.
I am writing as an Insider from Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House.

So, Wasiu's matter should be ruled out. Even if it is the turn of Fìdípọ̀tẹ̀ Ruling House, Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde indegenes wouldn't allow it.

There's no room for "Asawo" in Ijebu Ode in Ijebu Ode Ruling Houses. If he tries any move he will hear his story.

Wasiu's immediate junior sister got married to Colonel Awote who built his house at Erinlu on Imodi Imosan Road in Ijebu Ode.

Ko si bi won mati pin Elede ti itan e ma kon Lemomu ni, oro Wasiu ni ti Oba Ijebu Ode.

Those jumping on this thread and dropping comments based on warped conceptions should have a rethink. Until I know the facts behind the street renaming, I will remain neutral. My two pence comment.

This thread will not be complete without that Adams Oshiomole and Obaseki's maize eating memes. Someone should help me with them pls. LOL
