Ths baba is a very wealthy man I have be hearing of him since I was in secondary school. This baba is one of the rare ones who make money and live long with the money I swear it's a big privilege.

And it's golden to make money by legit way and not all these yeye ritual shit which you can't live more than 60 years the spirit will come chasing you around and still kpai you las las.

RIP sir.

These are the old moneybags.

Another in is league was Fernandez who lived a very luxurious life.
Fernandez money is too long. I used “Is” because his children inherited his wealth after passing on in 2015!

See Baba Fernandez for him Ogboni Regalia during his younger days. cool

Men that had the money and went totally off the radar, I salute your kind. I guessed he's an Awori man, most of them are quite reserved even the Eguns too.

Not many can emulate you in this season of get seen by all means necessary.

May God rest his soul.

Omooba77:
A prominent member of the Lagos royal family and boardroom guru, Otunba (Dr.) Adekunle Ojora, the Otunba of Lagos and Lisa of Ife, has passed away.

In a statement, the family confirmed that the revered traditional leader and patriarch joined his ancestors in the early hours of Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

Born on June 13, 1932, Otunba Ojora was a prominent figure in Lagos traditional, cultural and royal affairs, widely respected for his lineage, wisdom and service to society.

He held several distinguished titles, including: Olori-ebi of the Ojora Royal Family; Chief Olori Omoba of Lagos; Head of the Oba Ologunkutere and Oba Adele Ajosun Royal Family; Head of the Ojora Royal Family; Head of the Aiyeomosan Chieftaincy Family of Lagos; Otunba of Lagos and Lisa of Ife.

Throughout his lifetime, Otunba Ojora played a significant role in preserving Yoruba heritage, royal traditions and the unity of the Lagos chieftaincy families.

Otunba Adekunle Ojora is survived by children, grandchildren and a wide extended family, leaving behind a legacy deeply woven into the history and royalty of Lagos.

The statement signed by Mrs. Toyin Ojora-Saraki on behalf of the family said, “With total submission to the will of Almighty Allah (SWT), the Ojora family of Lagos hereby announces the passing of our beloved patriarch, Otunba
Adekunle Ojora, the Otunba of Lagos and Lisa of Ife, who returned to his creator early this morning.

“We say Alhamdulilahi for a life well lived, and we comply with Allah’s words that: “Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him we will all return” (Q2:

“He was 93 and will be buried in Lagos according to Islamic rites.

“He was survived by his lovely wife, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

“We urge all members of the public to join us in praying to Allah to grant His servant, who has lived a dignified life, reprieve in the grave and a place in Aljannah Firdaus.”

My condolences to 'Toyin Saraki, her biological mother and the rest of the Ojora siblings. It's actually sobering but it's a celebration of life as Otunba Adekunle Ojora was a warrior till the age of 93!

Otunba Adekunle Ojora of the Ojora Royal Family has indeed finally taken a royal bow, but he lived long till the age of 93. He belonged to the same social class and billionaire business mogul ecosystem of iconic men such as: Chief Abdulwahab Folawiyo, Chief Moshood Abiola, Chief 'Deinde Fernandez, Chief Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, Chief Okoya-Thomas, Alhaji Abdulrazak Okoya, Chief Fajemirokun, etc.

He lost his famous son 'Dapo Ojora just a few years ago. The Ojora family is a great and highly refined one in the entire history of Lagos State indigenes.

#Respect.
