This woman is really a very strong woman for surviving these people. Not only did she take care of her husband and retain power in the state, she stood by the husband till the last minute.

These people are very lucky it is not an mbaise, ngwa ,ohafia , awka or obosi woman they are dealing with, those ones would have shown them who is indisputably in charge by putting her son as the next governor.

So You are not even denying that Aunty Betty tried to hijack and takeover control of Ondo State from the deputy Governor?

Breaker001:
This woman worry o. Must you make a video recording out of this? She could as well had expressed her pain and tears to her late husband without putting it on video.
Me sef: wetin consign me for their matter?

If she had not made a video, how would all her perceived haters see her lambasting them directly and indirectly ? I am beginning to think she was the husband in the marriage due to her insatiable desire for attention and power. These type of women walk, sleep, and eat trouble for a living. I really pity her sons' wives.. She go show them shege pro max..

I will advise the woman to be very careful because of her children. Owo is their source and their political base forever. Those children can still become anything in Nigeria and they will need the support of their people. The woman should understand Yoruba culture and stop all the verbal attacks against the paramount king of Owo... It is a taboo to castigate kings publicly .. You don't curse them nor abuse them nor treat them with contempt ..

Is it not better than a whole region under lock and key by one 35 years old content creator in far away Finland who can wake up and tell your region not to step out and nobody will go against his rule?

That same lagos under one family is where your people rushing to just to add to the number of your so called slaves....

yes. we are rushing to do business in a Lagos that was built by the federal government, with our common resources,as capital of the country. We sweat, hawk, stay awake, hussle hard to make our money.

Shey we are also rushing to Ondo, Osun and the others in same manner, abi?

Some of you lack common sense but Lagos State government has her senses intact because they know that with lazy and noisy reliabilities like you, Lagos cannot be maintained.

They know those who bring the money

Smartcitizen:
Ban who?

Because she said the truth?

Most of you still think we are living in that your useless brown roof stone age period.


He is not only a baby Oba he is also a criminal, Keep supporting nonsense!

See how stupid you are!!!!
You don't even know the difference between Oluwo of Iwo and Olowo of Owo??
Just be typing nonsense and claiming victim everywhere.

It's so easy to detect this troublesome attitude in her. Even when she is out of power,.the woman is still venting trouble, lef, right and center. I respect men who get married to this kind of women, and can stay in the marriage for years. Believe me, it's not easy.

The problem with the igbos is that they hate betrayal and lip service. You can see the pain in her heart.

Madam keep your mouth shut pls. Which legacy did your husband leave behind? Nothing!

.. apart from amotekun, Ondo State did not experience any meaningful development throughout the seven years of your husband in power. The current governor is not doing better either. Both of them are the worst performing governors in the history of Ondo State.

May God bless Baba Ajasin, Baba Adefarati, Olusegun Agagu and Olusegun Mimiko. During their time, they all performed far better than Aketi and Mr Lucky. In fact, Ondo State in the last 8-9 years has not fared better at all. Nothing is happening in that state.

We should actually have a dedicated national platform in this country where residents of each state can freely give their reviews on the performance of their Reps, Senators, Chairmen and state Governors.

soullove1881:
Next Gov, how ?
Bro easy na, Governorship isn't a chieftaincy title 😂😂😂😂

Bros, abeg check well, e be like say you mistakenly quoted me. I no mention anything Governor for my post.

Shaketable:
When the time comes the sons il navigate whatever is in their pat, but u all still see her as not Yoruba n have rejected her could be y she is fighting dirty with u people

I hope you remember that when Aketi was governor, she tried to run as a senator in her own ancestral state and she was effectively told to get lost and go and contest where she married from.

She was rejected by her own people, maybe she should go and fight them first.

Her and her children are kúkú Ibadan based so they don't have to do anything in Ondo State.

FreeSpirited:
I can speak of Owo cos I know it, and u obviously don't know cos u don't know Owo, so people who know those area u mentioned will definitely can speak of what was done there... If not that I knew Owo, u will have assumed nothing was done anywhere.

You shouldn't have singled out just one local government out of 18. The shame is on you. Come to Akure the state capital and see a real definition of a glorious village. The same Akure that used to be the second cleanest capital in Nigeria. Are you aware that thousands of AAU students dropped out of school because Aketi increased their tuition fees from 30k paid during Mimiko's time to 150-200k. What about the school free shuttle bus he cancelled immediately he assumed office? For seven years, this guy kept promising us in Ondo south senatorial district to kickstart bitumen project and Ondo deepsea port, till today nothing, nothing. Many farmers in Idanre were displaced till today because of a phony Chinese project that did not materialize. The matter plenty; space won't permit me. Ant to cap it all, it was Aketi who introduced vote buying into Ondo politics and unfortunately today, it has become a norm. You can't win any election in Ondo today without bribing electorates. Pls try and verify these before quoting me again. Bye.

You are largely right, I knew of everything you said here, though I might have forgotten some.I can recall how it was said that Betty confiscated the free bus shuttle into personal business being overseen by her son.

Yet higher institutions fee increments was started by Lagos, Osun, across APC under Buhari policies though... I think it also affected most federal University.... That's APC, unfortunately it has led to many out of school.. I remember I never paid beyond 25k schooling in a top federal uni all my pre-APC years in school. Some department even paid below 20k tuition fee in my schl. The increment wasn't one state policy though, it started from the federal govt and university commission during one ASUU strike and the autonomy debate. I wouldn't want u to put the blame on one state or Akeredolu.
..
However, the failure of Akeredolu in general, I would say is quite correlated with failure of most APC run state... Since Buhari came, most APC run governors are failures and irredeemable opportinist... Most.. That's one thing I hate about that party. The blueprint and model of that party is scam, and PR
.
Packaging... Same way Buhari was packaged and Tinubu is running his govt with media PR, propaganda and dancing to the policy dictate of the Western powers. It takes an exceptional integrity and responsibility to do well under APC where gross impunity is their fixed character. Why can't we have one single governor under APC for almost 16 years now who can compare to what Alex Oti has done in two years with limited resources? Even Alex Oti would never have been allowed to run if under APC, cos they always favor crooks. Remember Oti was frustrated out of APC.. See how well Abia is transforming under him....
.
Today people tend to lambast Obi, yet from the record, and when we compare resources available to you and how u are able to utilize it judiciously to make a mark, Obi and Fashola were at par.... Today why can't we have more Obi / Fashola level of governance and leadership in APC.
Nigeria can't go no where in 50 years if APC is not dismantled. The impunity from top down and irresponsibility is too much

😁😁😁😁 ur tribalistic narrow mind did not even stop to think about the traditions n customs of where she comes from ? But u r only aware that she is not a Yoruba n doesn't know ur traditions n customs , forgetting she is married into Yoruba n her children r by right Yorubas? 😆😆😆😝😝😝

Your bragging post right ABOVE MAKES absolutely NO sense at all.

The main thrust of the article in the thread post is that In Yorubaland, Obas or Kings are NOT permuted to attend burial ceremonies or have memorials symbolizing death overlooking their royal palaces and this is why the memorial dedicated to those who lost their lives in that Owo church terror attack was removed because it violated culture by overlooking the Oba (Olowo of Owo Kingdom's) royal palace.

Betty Akeredolu most definitely has some psychological and "mental health" issues due to some undisclosed trauma which led her to make that insulting and unnecessary video that was posted online. It's just too obvious and some of you hers are IRRESPONSIBLY accusing the Yoruba folks of attacking her first which is totally FALSE. Betty Akeredolu was WRONG to have made statements in that video violating the centuries-long culture and traditions of Yoruba people of over 80 million people worldwide. Her children MUST move in ASAP to ensure that she is adequately cared for and the first son can on behalf of the family simply visit the palace with a few of his Akeredolu family uncle's and apologize to the revered Oba and the people of Owo Kingdom for that needless video Betty Akeredolu made and uploaded online .

You are indeed highly ignorant about who the continuum of indigenous people of Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Lagos States, etc, are? These folks of Yoruba descent operate a mixed hybrid republican and monarchical system for centuries. They have a warrior mindset, are descendants of centuries-old warrior nations and don't take nonsense or deviant behavior be you high or low, young or old.

Despite the fact that there's respect for elders and organizational hierarchy, if you go off the trail of truth and they've had enough of you, they'll tell it to your face. Period.

I was responding to someone who claimed Yoruba had rejected her because she was Igbo and calmly pointed out she had been rejected first in her own state.

She wasn't attempting to be a Mazi or whatever local traditions and customs Ndigbo have. She was attempting to run for Senate. An inalienable right granted to her by virtue of being a citizen of that state by birth.

Stop conflating issues.

I also never said her children weren't Yorùbá, why are you bringing that up?

Tinubuadvocate:
The town cheifs should ban her from enter the town what a nuisance idolatry thing.

they can't do that...in their life time they cnt do that...cos of one Baby Oba ....


She has the right of movement.... Awon Baby Oba people

looseweight:
Brov, say what you know about her taking care of her husband.. If i start talking how they (wife and children) abandoned the sick husband in Ibadan and were in Ondo state signing checks, you no go talk again.

They could not even pay the salary of the lady taking care of him
When the late governor friend came visiting and saw the state of things, he personally bath the governor and dressed him up.
I fit give you the name of the man (prominent MOG) that visited and met just caretaker with him

Like I said in an earlier thread, if Betty had wanted him to resign to give him a chance at fighting that horrible disease, Aketi would have stood a better chance.

Instead, she was doing a Turai Yar'Adua and keeping the man as state governor because of the power that came with it and her voracious appetite for that power.

By the way, Betty didn't do it because she is an Igbo woman, even if she was an Ọwọmadẹ, it would still have happened because that's her nature.

Like "constituted authorities" wife, she too go enter house soon.

Doesn't she go to her home state? N if there was a better candidate in her state don't her people have a right to chose a better candidate ? So u shouldn't be saying that she was rejected in her state , but any day the Ondo people come out n say they r not marrying wife again her people il take her n her children in comfortably

Rada rada, her family is done in Ondo. Her husband legacy is unfortunately now destroyed.

If she's not cautious they'll banish their family from Owo, I can see the extended family disowning them in the near future

There is no way she could have installed her son as governor of the state.

She will take children called Akeredolu away from where to where, she herself wouldn't attempt it?
