This was why they almost denied him of his rights.
Ọba ti w'aja. E sun re o

All hail Olubadan Ladoja.

Zincfingers:
Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja seems to be the next in line

He's the one.
He's the most senior right now and drummers must have started beating their drums at his residence now.

Ibadan has the only truly African democratic system

Finally Senator Rasheed Ladoja can start getting prepared to ascend the throne of his forefathers.

This has always been his dream, tp become Olubadan one day, I'm happy for him.

I’m so happy for him. Just that baba is old as well .
All the best to him sha

TallNigerian:
Your usage of this word is totally wrong in this context. What is the need for ambiguous words when they do not fit into a sentence correctly?

Gradually, Ladoja is getting closer to his life-long dream

He only need to remove the 's' on the word. But the word is correctly used in this context as it refers to old people.

Kabiye sure ooooo

Congratulations to Senator Adewolu Ladoja...

Oba Adewolu Ladoja... kabiye si oooooo

No be last year u enter d throne.... Sha na old men dey become king for ibadan Sha.... RIP olubadan

Ladoja finally becomes olubadan........ibadan connect go sweet now

Arobaga:
They will support Tinubu finish and die



And allow us to suffer for their actions

If this is what you can type for the death of a 90 years old man, then you need to check yourself well ooo

So he was like 89 when he ascended the throne

I am guessing the next one will be like 95

Rip

We did not even get enough time to know his name!

If you asked me yesterday which Kingdom does an Oba Olakulehin reign over? I would not have been able to answer

RIP

Okay. geriatric(s) is commonly associated with healthcare of aged people. It may be used as a substitute but it isn't a perfect substitute in this context. I understand some urban dictionaries will allow the use of that word as a substitute outside medicine, but it is actually considered offensive using geriatrics to refer to aged people in normal grammatical usage.

ybalogs:
Ibadan just have to change their mode of picking their kings. Kilode?! Rest on Kabiesi.

It is okay like that. No one go kpai another, the other kinship rites makes room for hatred and unnecessary competition.

Kabiyesi Kabiyesi Kabiyesi o

RIP Oba Owolabi Olakulehin Ige

The Olubadan of Ibadanland 2024 - 2025.

Oba-elect HIM Rasheed Ladoja.
A former senator
A former governor
An astute business man
Now Olubadan-elect.
He should rule Ibadan well ooo.
Oyo state politics about to get hot again.
Sunday Igboho will be jubilating now.

Na every year dem Dey kwench na every year dem Dey install new one

I love the selection process.... No need to consult any ifa .... No need to fight.... No need to delay ........no need for jeopardy.....You already know the next in line since inception... And according to what I heard.... If any one of them tries to kill the person next to the throne.... It will backfire...

Rest in peace Baba Olubadan

I like Ibadan game of thrones sha; as them dey mourn the passing of a monarchy, them don dey congratulate another one on accession asap!

Rest well kabiesi…

Congratulations to the new Oba

Norms, life no suppose hard…

Asking a Nairaland certified fool to check himself will make no difference.

Some of us have a list of some of them we hardly respond to.

Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja seems to be the next in line

His Excellency former Governor and Senator Abdulrasheed Adewolu Ladoja
Incoming Olubadan of Ibadan Land

Zincfingers:
The system is based on seniority. The next in line is already known .
I think it needs an overhaul too but how would they achieve that without causing problems .

The question is why should you overhaul a system that has eliminated any form of controversy or tussle? We know how long it took Oyo town, iseyin , ogbomosho and a host of other before appointing a succeeding monarch but such doesn't happen in ibadan.

SalamRushdie:
They need to start selecting younger people for olubadan , this idea of selecting geriatrics is not good

I also wish that but it can get to the younger ones it will take a while because it's one of the most organise monarchical system in Nigeria. Meaning its turn by turn. They already know the person that will be king after this current demise, its still an old man.

Na wah for ibadan and this funny kingship arrangement o. A new king every year haaa. Former Gov Ladoja becomes king straight. I feel they should review it

onatisi:
This is why I like ibadan traditional setting ,the next in line knows himself already . No fighting or controversy

The white man destroyed Africa, we already had a working system and were not savages.

SalamRushdie:
They need to start selecting younger people for olubadan , this idea of selecting geriatrics is not good

At least, the system works, no bad belle, it's turn by turn and no one tries to kpai another to inherit the throne

Why do they appoint people close to the grave every time

RIP to the king.
The appointed time is here Congratulations Senator RASHIDI ADEWOLU LADOJA.

One of the best kingship succession style, except the Olubadans don't last due to extreme old age.

But I believe the next Olubadan Ladoja will stay longer since he's seem much younger(80 years old)

If he gets to his 90s then at least we can get 10 years of Olubadan-ship.

atobs4real:
Baba felt his last birthday before his demise. Rest on Baba. May the Almighty God forgive your past

We had he’s dead before the 90th birthday. It wasn’t announced because of the normal right

SalamRushdie:

so that manipulations can set in with cash and carry abi? You want them to start recruiting their Obas from Canada like the Oluwo and alafin abi? Dey play.
