‘I Am A Monarch For All Religions, Social Classes,’ Oba Ladoja Declares by SJMag1(op): 1:52pm On Sep 29, 2025

The newly installed Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has described himself as a monarch for all religions and social classes.

Speaking during a thanksgiving service at the Church of the Ascension, Ibadan, on Sunday, September 28, the 44th Olubadan vowed to serve every resident of the ancient city without discrimination.

Oba Ladoja, who was formally crowned by Oyo state governor Seyi Makinde at Mapo Hall on Friday, September 26, assured his subjects of his commitment to peace, progress, and the overall development of Ibadan.

‎‎“We are all governing Ibadan. I’m just the coordinator. You people are the small Olubadan; I’m the big Olubadan,” Oba Ladoja said.

‎‎”Ibadan will be great by God’s grace with your support. I’m now king of all religions. Ibadan is a fertile land; it shall continue to be well with Ibadan.

‎‎“I’m Olubadan for all, and the success of my reign will not be mine alone but that of the Olubadan-in-Council and the entire people of Ibadanland,” he said.

Emphasis on the word "more"
Learn to understand
Even if one more person knew him because of Obi then "more" is not wrong. English is not that difficult sha

The word 'more' is irrelevance and inconsequential. The new olubadan was is former governor and now a first class king.
How can obi make him "more' popular?
Who is obi by the way?

I think it is the olubadan that made obi more popular.

Small English somebody will not understand
How many first class kings do you know in SS?

Whether you like it or not Obi has made him more popular.

You compare a Peter Obi with a Tinubu or an Atiku. In Yorubaland not all utterances lie in the mouth of everyone capable of talking!! That is the truth many have omitted to note in the "my brother matter"!!!

Wonders will never cease. Obi made which Olubadan popular huh

Kindly enlighten us, did Obi campaign for him to become king or give him money to buy the position huh

When Ladoja was a re known Senator, where was Obi? When he became governor, where was he? Is it now that he needs Obi to be popular? 😅

FYI, the Olubadan title and ascension is very orderly and does not need cheap popularity to get there.

Trying to take credit for what has nothing to do with him is thiefry or trying to share in another worthy person's glory... Leave this thing abeg undecided
