Moshood Adisa Olabisi Ajala, also known as Ọlábísí Àjàlá, was a Nigerian journalist, travel writer, actor, and later Lagos socialite. He is famous for being a globe-trotter, with escapades in Israel, Egypt, Palestine, India, the United States, and elsewhere. His only published book, which covered his travel adventures, was titled An African Abroad published in 1963. His name, in Nigeria today, is synonymous with 'travel'. His name is used as a slang today in Nigeria to tease people who cannot seem to stay in one place. They are called : ‘Ajala the traveller’.
Olabisi Ajala was born in Ghana in either 1929 or 1934to a Nigerian family. It was a polygamous family, with about thirty children and four wives. Olabisi was the twenty-fifth. When he was a child, his family moved to Nigeria. There he attended Baptist Academy in Lagos and Ibadan Boys’ High School in Ibadan.

At the age of eighteen, In 1952, he moved to the United States to study pre-medicine student at the University of Chicago. There he was the first black student in the Delta Upsilon Pi ‘fratority’, a co-educational Greek-letter organization. He later moved to Roosevelt University (then called "Roosevelt College" to study Psychology.

In Chicago, Àjàlá conceived of a cross-country trip to Los Angeles on a bicycle. The trip "covered about 2,280 miles in 28 days. He started the trip on the 12th of June 1952, and arrived in Los- Angeles City Hall on July 10." The trip earned him many accolades, including coverage in the major newspapers of the time. Upon arrival in Los Angeles two days ahead of schedule, Àjàlá was received by the city mayor Fletcher Bowron.

He did not return to Chicago.

In Los Angeles, he became a mini superstar, and gave a lot of interviews. He was later cast in a movie called White Witch Doctor, based on the 1950 novel by Louise A. Stinetorf, and produced by 20th century Fox. He had been given the recommendation by Ronald Reagan whom he had met three years earlier. He was also signed up to act in the movie "Killer Ape" but never started work on it.

His calibre was accompanied by many women. One of them was a Chicago nurse named Myrtle Basset who gave him his first child named Ọládipúpọ́ Andrei Ajala (born on January 21, 1953). Ọládipúpọ̀ means "wealth has increased" in the Yoruba language. But Àjàlá had first denied paternity of the child.He had to be forced by the courts to pay ten dollars per week to the mother when he refused to show up in court to take the blood test he had ordered. Ọlábísí then disappeared and never saw Ọládipúpọ̀ again until 1976 when the latter had become a pianist. Ọládipúpọ̀ died on January 19, 2020.


Later that year, after a number of run-ins with the American immigration for petty offenses like issuing false checks, he was sentenced to one-year suspended jail term. Also because he had abandoned his school work—he had supposedly transferred to Santa Monica Junior College but was not keeping up with his studies—he was ordered to be deported to Nigeria. He protested the deportation order, saying he would be executed by his father in a tribal tradition. First he climbed on an 80-foot radio tower, threatening to kill himself unless the order was rescinded. After nearly 13 hours, he jumped down from about fifteen feet and sustained a sprained back. He also then began a hunger strike, which he termed a 30-day Ramadan fasting, that he had to observe as a devoted Muslim. Eventually, he was deported, but to London instead.

In December 1954, Ọlábísí returned to the United States with another wife called Hermine Aileen, a New York model. They settled in Chicago. In 1955, she later divorced him on charges of philandering and adultery, a charge he did not contest. In December 1955, he remarried again, this time to a 19-year-old London actress named Joan Simons.

On April 27, 1957, Àjàlá began a trip "around the world" from London. These would form the basis for his 1963 biography called "An African Abroad", with an introduction by Tom Mboya. He planned to visit forty countries.

To write the book, Àjàlá had visited India, Soviet Union, Iran, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt, and finally, Australia. He travelled round all of them on his Vespa scooter, which had famous autographs of the famous people he had met. On his journey around the world, he met many more, among whom were Jawaharlal Nehru, Golda Meir, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Gamal Abdel Nasser, The Shah of Iran, and Nikita Khrushchev. He also visited Poland, Germany, Prague, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Rumani, Hungary, and Turkey.

He also suffered encounters with law enforcement; once in the Soviet Union where he was accused of trying to assassinate Nikita Khrushchev by being too close to him in public, and at another time in the border between Israel and Palestine, where he was almost shot for speeding across without permission. All these were documented in his autobiography, which was published.

The book was written as a travelogue and a piece of journalism. He expressed opinion on how people lived in the places he visited, opined on the political situation in Israel and Palestine, as well as on the world leaders he met.

In Sydney, where the book was published, he married Joan and had three children with her.

Afterwards, Àjàlá returned to Nigeria and became a famous socialite. He also became an entertainment promoter and publicist, who worked with artistes like Sikiru Ayinde Barrister. They later had a falling out.

He was praised in songs notably by Ebenezer Obey with the words "You have travelled all over the world. Àjàlá travelled all over the world...". From then on, the words "Àjàlá travels" became synonymous with wanderlust and extensive traveling.

In Nigeria, he married Alhaja Ṣadé, and was reputed to have children by a few other women.

While living in Lagos, Àjàlá suffered a stroke in the early days of 1999, and did not receive adequate care. He died on February 2, 1999.

Àjàlá is known today as Nigeria's most famous traveller, who ventured the world on his scooter. His name is equated to travel and adventure. His work as a journalist is not as well known, and neither are his philandering ways. His children continue to live in many parts of the world. His autobiography "An African Abroad" is being republished by OlongoAfrica in 2022.

So sad ! May his soul Rest In Peace and may his legacy live after him .

Goodnigga:
That was not a dream but a nightmare! This election winner is somehow hidden by GOD himself. No pastor has a clear winner in mind as revealed yet.
Even me I am yet to see the winner by any revelation aside my natural calculations. But this I know, the will of the people oftentimes is the will of GOD. Israel wanted a king but God wanted to rule himself through Prophet Samuel, but they insisted that they want to be like other developed nations who have kings, despite that God never bought the idea, he told Samuel to give them a king.

Many Nigerians wanted one man, they are willing ( working towards his winning) & they are obedient ( registered to vote), automatically they will eat the fruit of the land. You can connect the dots.


Selah!!

That’s your headache ! You’re not God and you were not in my dream either , so stay off my mention and don’t quote me on this platform again ! You’re yet to see the revelation because God is less concerned about a deluded mind like yours!
Vote whoever you want and don’t quote me again .

Peace !

I even saw it in my dream two months ago , so I know he’s going to win , just not sure of the margin but he’s going to win .

RepoMan007:
Osun is in huge debt that allocation cannot sustain and Nigeria is already in huge debt that allocation is gradually being unable to sustain. We are just some months away from Osun state situation and you know it.

Osun is in debt , all thanks to AREGBESOLA , but the topic is not about debt but about salary , Osun/Oyetola is not owing salary !!! Oyetola tried his best to pay some of huge debt left behind by the AREGBESOLA’s administration but that still didn’t stop him from paying salaries of the workers , ask around in Osun , when AREGBESOLA was there , he was paying Half salary at some point instead of paying full , there was a time he wasn’t even paying , but Oyetola is paying and not owing workers , Thank you! I live in Osun and My dad is a civil servant!

RepoMan007:
Good observation. That state is an example of Nigeria under the man after Buhari. In huge debt and having low revenue due to fiscal rascality.

Don’t say what you don’t know about Osun or the incumbent Governor if you’re not in Osun ..

Ex-employee of the maker of a local balm popularly known as ‘Ero Arike,’ identified as Basiru and two others have been arrested by operatives of Osun State police Command, while planning to abduct the company owner, Falilat Oyetunji.

The PUNCH learnt there was an attempt to abduct Oyetunji in Olorunda village in Iragbiji, Osun State by the suspects and others yet to be apprehended.

It was further gathered that an informant who got wind of the plot by Basiru and others to abduct Oyetunji had informed the victim, and business woman reported the matter to the police.

Commenting on the incident, the spokesperson for Osun police Command, Yemisi Opalola, said “Upon intelligence, three kidnappers, were arrested while trying to kidnap Oyetunji, a.k.a “ERO ARIKE” in her residence of Olorunda Temidire area Iragbiji.

“It was on the early hours of Saturday, 6th August, 2022 that an informant, (name withheld) came to inform Mrs Oyetunji, ERO ARIKE, that he saw some people, led by the former staff of her ERO ARIKE company, one Basiru, planning how to kidnap her.

This is the result you get when you try to incite one religion against the other , CAN have been making noise all over the media for a while now trying to divide the country , now the Muslims are talking too , don’t criticize the cleric if you’re okay with what CAN has been doing since after the primary election.

To every sane person, no one was expecting the news to be real in the first place except those delusional people waiting for fake propaganda to share online instead of campaigning for their candidates the right way , I don’t understand how people just cook up lies just to get validations online thinking two people can benefit from lies , if the person being lied to doesn’t know , the liar definitely knows he’s lying and it will be bursted sooner or later , you don’t want to vote a candidate, fine ! Campaign for your preferred candidates and don’t spread lies online because you’re not only doing damages to your candidates but also giving more popularity to the other candidate you’re spreading lies about.
I’m patiently waiting for more lies to come before and after the 2023 elections , lies go too plenty after the election , we saw what happened after the primary.

NOTE: I have my PVC AND I have my preferred candidate, on the day of election I will cast my vote for that candidate, I’m not going to follow the online noisemakers to spread propaganda online or let anyone bully me into joining a movement .

Exactly! Nah why dem never arrest you and lock you up for speaking for bandits and holding meetings with them at will without being questioned

Why she no wear pants?

Mynd44:
This. is Nigeria's best show at the commonwealth games ever.

The last time we came close was in 1994 and we got just 7 gold.

This is possibly the first time we are finishing above South Africa too.

Can we say the Sports Minister, Sunday Dare did well?

He did marvelously well

The pastor spoke the truth , you either take and make use of it or trash it , it’s left for you , bringing it online to get reactions and a possible bashing for the pastor is useless and pointless, you can as well block the pastor if you hate the truths.

eps432:
Tinubu is hoping on terrorism and destruction to win the 2023 presidential election. Owing to the events of the past, it is clear that Tinubu and his gang are responsible for the mayhem in some specific parts of Nigeria. I wonder how he thinks that his poor so called sophistry will win him the election. Take note:
1. Tinubu supported Ayiri ( a well known drug dealer, militant and criminal) against the present olu of warri. His greed nearly destroyed the kingdom if not because of the fierce traditional resistance he encountered. He hoped that he will use Ayiri to win delta state by any means possible.
2. Tinubu worked underground to remove ihedioha and ethroned the blood sucking uzodima who has overseen the destruction of imo, a once peaceful state. He hopes that he will use criminal uzodima to win imo state by hook or crook.
3. Tinubu did everything possible to capture Anambra state through uba. He sponsored several killings and destruction. He stage managed a fake shootout between the police and the so called unknown gun men during the heat of the Anambra election to scare people not to come out and vote. His channel tv is evil. The management of that station knows all Tinubu's evil plans and moves.
4. Tinubu and his channel tv are the sponsors of Samuel Ekpa. Ekpa is evil and a blood sucking criminal that has allowed himself to be used as tool to destroy igbo land. Samuel Ekpa will be destroyed. Recall that when Ekpa started his broadcast, he was remote controlled by a channel tv staff. All the content and references he used at beginning of his broadcast in bashing the fulani and buhari were supplied by Tinubu and his channels tv.
5. Tinubu and Joe igbokwe are sponsing asari docubo, ijere and ebube agu to cause mayhem and kill igbo youths for 2023 election. Tinubu hopes that he will use criminal docubo asari to win rivers state by hook or crook in 2023.
6. The reason why Tinubu left every sane persons recommended to him to pick shetima (a well known boko haram sponsor) as his vp is because he believes that shetima has the requisite violence tendencies to win him 2023 presidential election.

In conclusion, Tinubu has been sponsoring violence and destruction across Nigeria in the name of election strategy. His so call sophistry and strategy is built on juju, terrorism and destruction and he is relying heavily these for the 2023 election. Sane minds are wondering how he is going to succeed in this his evil sophistry plan.

What a man he is to do all of these things and he’s still walking free . TINUBU is a man holding several people’s balls , that’s why some men no longer last long in bed also . TINUBU shall pay for all of this in 2023 . He will pay for all his atrocities listed here by this comrade.
Get your VPC and Pote wisery!

About 5 months after he was declared wanted, the Osun State Police Command in the early hours of Sunday arrested a suspected cultist, Rasheed Hammed, popularly known as Rasidi Oko’lu.
Reliable security sources told our correspondent that Oko’lu was arrested in his hideout in Osogbo, Osun State capital around 4am by men of the Anti-Cultism Unit of Osun Police Command.
Oko’lu was declared wanted in March by the police, after allegedly causing the death of a Higher National Diploma graduate of Banking and Finance of Federal Polytechnic, Ede, awaiting his call-up letter, as well as, a commercial motocyclist, whose identities were not made known during a fight in Ede.
Osun Police Command Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, in a text message to our correspondent said, “Yes. We arrested him last night.”

We tried to prevent this but you said you want a divorce and want to start a new union with a new partner , Dem never do wedding ceremony , home don dey scatter !

You’re in soup porridge today !

Is he even aware that he’s a president of one country called Nigeria? He’s only told to read papers when addressing the country once in a while .

To those saying There’s disunity between Christians and Muslims in South west and you don’t live here in the south west , you’re making a wrong statement if you are using this Akintola psychiatric patient to draw your conclusions about the unity between Muslims and Christians in the south west .
This Man is not the spokesperson for Muslims in the south west ! He’s an activist just like every other activists in Nigeria.

This is brilliant!!

His contract expired in APC

You’re about to go to jail!

Irresponsible woman !!! She doesn’t value the baby , the Pikin fit show her shege for labor room and after the Pikin is born , you go hear am , the Pikin go show you shege just like you dey give am problem for belle so.
