Please what did he do or say wrong? That you are in majority doesn't mean that you are right. Some people just do follow follow without a mind of their own. I have not seen anything wrong in his position. He is not a pushover and you need a superior argument to defeat him not blackmail nau. Haba

The blackmailer and mischievous one here is Ajibola, the otun balogun, who wants to upsurp Olakulehin. He wants to becomes Olubadan without waiting for his time.
Olakulehin is not the first or only next in line to be stricken in age b4 being crowned Olubadan.
It happened to Yesufu Oloyed Asanke (90+), Emmanuel Adeyemo Operinde1 (89yrs), Samuel Odugade Osunlana (93yrs) etc before they became Olubadan and they reigned for 12, 6 & 9 years respectively.

No correct.

For example,

Oba Yinusa Ogundipe Arapasowu as Olubadan of Ibadan land.
He ascended the throne from the Civil line.

He has:
High Chief Omiyale as Balogun Ibadan
High Chief Oiawale Kuye as Otun Olubadan
High Chief Odulana Odugade as Otun Balogun.

Because Oba Yinusa came from civil line, High chief Kuye was promoted to Otun Olubadan..the Balogun line remains unchanged.

After the demise of ObaYinusa Arapasowu, Chief Omiyale, the Balogun of Ibadan was supposed to be the next in line... unfortunately, he passed on before coronation..

The crown moved back to the civil line...Chief Olawale Kuye was next... unfortunately he also passed on..

The crown moved back to military line..that's why the Otun Balogun, chief Odulana Odugade became Olubadan..from Military Iine.

Chief gain promotions from their line and the late Oba Lekan Balogun became the Otun Olubadan...so, he became the next Olubadan from civil line.

Now that he passed on..the crown moves to military..if the next chief is unable to..it goes back to the civil line


You need to do proper research b4 coming to public to provide inaccurate submissions.

1. Oba Ogundipe Arapasowu came from Balogun line not Otun line as you mentioned here. He succeeded Oba Emmanuel Adeyemo from Otun line.
2. Oba Samuel Osunlana, who succeeded Ogundipe,was from Otun line, not Balogun as you stated.
3. Both Omiyale and Omowale Kuye were juniors to Osunlana. They were only seniors to Aje Ogunguniso, but they both died early to pave way for omo Aje Ogunguniso to become Olubadan.

It has never happened in the history of Ibadan that they moved from one lineage to another because the next in line died before coronation. Even if the next in line dies b4 coronation, the next most senior in that same lineage will be promoted and then crowned the Olubadan.

Go and read what happens when Oba Yinusa Arapasowu passed on...

And what happens between High Chief Omiyale, High Chief Kuye and the then High Chief Odulana Odugade (Late Olubadan)

Tell us what happened ooo.
To my best of knowledge, when Olubadan Arapsowu from Balogun line died, Samuel Odulana from Otun line became Olubadan.
Omiyale and Omowale Kuye you mentioned and some other high chieves were next in line to become Olubadan after Odulana, but they all died b4 him and this actually fast tracked the ascension of Omo-Aje to become Olubadan from Balogun line. They didn't give it to Lekan Balogun who was from Otun line and senior to Omo-Aje.

It's the turn of Balogun line, no doubt...but it is solely for the incumbent Balogun.
If he passes on before installation..it moves to Otun Olubadan.

An Otun Balogun cannot become an Olubadan before Otun Olubadan....
Also, Osi Olubadan, for example from Civil Line cannot become an Olubadan before a Balogun....the Otun Balogun and Osi Olubadan can never have double promotion to upsurp an existing Balogun or Otun Olubadan...Never!

They will have to get promoted to their very next rank first.

You're still wrong.
Until the most senior in Balogun line is crowned now it can't move to Otun line.
If anything happens to Olakulehin b4 his coronation (God forbid), it won't go to Ladoja/Otun line, but the Otun Balogun will become Balogun and then be crowned as the Olubadan. But if Olakulehin is crowned today and something happens to him the following day or even some hours after his coronation, then Otun ie Ladoja will become Olubadan.

He is the Otun Olubadan....so, if the Olubadan designated who happens to be the current Balogun of Ibadan is unable to ascend the throne (for death reasons), the crown goes back to the civil line, and that will be Ladoja

This can happen only if Olakulehin has been crowned Olubadan. If not yet crowned, it's still for Balogun line. That's why Ajibola wants the coronation of Olakulehin delayed. They are both being selfish and buying time to their favour.

Let's assumed that Baba Olakunlehin is bed ridden, does that mean that Ibadan will remain without a King or the kingship should be given to another person while he is still alive? Have a deep retrospect of this and put yourself in the shoe of Baba and his children. There is an adage in my place that says "good night, no one knows who will be awake before the other" . There is possibly of those that are saying Baba is bed ridden to die before Baba; I have seen it happen and it might likely happen again.

Don't mind them. When Oloyede Asanke became Olubadan in 1983, he couldn't walk on his own. Yet, he spent about 11 years on the throne and the younger and healthier person that was supposed to succeed him died before him.
Also when Emmanuel Adeyemo Operinde 1 became Olubadan in 1994 at the age of 89, he looked so frail and was being supported, yet he spent 6yrs on the throne while a younger, healthier and well educated Balogun Olunloyo that was supposed to succeed him died at 78yo a few months b4 Oba Adayemo's death.
Olakulehin will become Olubadan by God's grace.

Nothing like second angle...the both lines are lines..

It moves to the next in line which is Ladoja.

Irrespective of where the next high ranking chief is, either the civil or military line..the most senior of the two on the line is the next Olubadan.

Stop this misinformation.
This is the turn of Balogun line and even if the 1st four in Balogun line become incapacitated, the 5th in line will be crowned.

Ladoja knows this that's why he wants Olakulehin to crowned as soon as possible, so that Balogun line can take their slot even if it's for a day.
Ajibola on the other hand is also trying to delay the coronation so that the Balogun's opportunity will still be available and if anything happens to Olakulehin (according to Ajibola's wish and calculation) he will automatically fill in the gap and become Olubadan.
Both Ladoja and Ajibola are using the health condition of Olakulehin to position themselves for the throne. They want to set unpalatable precedence. Whether they like it or not, Olakulehin will be crowned the next Olubadan.

It is not possible. The next is Balogun line and Ladoja is from Otun line. Even if anything happens (God forbid) to the 1st, 2nd & 3rd in Balogun line, the next most senior ie 4th will become Olubadan.

Define genocide and you will see that it's your Jewish slave masters that have been commiting genocide since 1947.

Besides majority of those killed at the concerts on October 7th were mowed down by IDF helicopter gunships.

Hence , why netayanyu and his genocidal maniacs in the IDF are killing Israeli hostages taken by Hamas since they will expose what truly happened on October 7th.

IDF has so far killed over 200k civilians in Gaza in what is documented as brazen attacks on civilians.

But here you are redefining the word genocide.

The fact that hamas invaded Israel on Oct 7 and killed over one thousand innocent people including babies and the elderly is no issue to you.
The fact that the same terrorists hamas abducted over 120 people ever since is not an issue to you. Up till now, they refuse to release those taken hostage yet you people are not interested in ensuring that they are released.
It's Israel's response to hamas' m@dness and terrorist attack that caught you people's attention 🙄 No way!

Politics / Re: Wike Abandoned Me After I Made Him Governor, Retired AIG, Mbu Recounts Efforts by Raf4: 6:48pm On Apr 09
Justiceori2019:
Without me Wike Wouldn't Have Become Governor, Mbu Joseph Recounts His Role In Wike’s Political Trajectory Unrewarded.

Retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Mbu Joseph Mbu has expressed disappointment over what he perceives as the lack of recognition for his contributions to the political career of former Rivers State Governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Speaking with Daily Trust on the political crisis ongoing in the state between Wike and his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Mbu, whose role during the 2014–2015 political crisis in Rivers State had often been described as controversial, stated that despite his efforts, especially during Wike’s political rise, he feels unappreciated, particularly by Wike himself.

Mbu recounted instances where he felt abandoned, such as when he was contesting his retirement and reached out to Wike for support, only to be ignored. He highlighted his close relationship with Wike, stating that he would have intervened in any personal issues the governor faced, but was disappointed when his calls went unanswered.

“Without me, he would not have become Governor, because I knew where to hit the government power,” he said.

Mbu also said that he has watched Governor Fubura and that, despite not knowing him, he can see that he is a thorough and sound person.

We all knew it then that this mbu joseph mbu was highly unprofessional. A political jobber always asslicking the powers that be. He was running ungodly errands for mama Peace against Rotimi Amechi then, now foaming in his rotten mouth. A disgrace to the police force.

Are you saying your ancestors left Nigeria for their new country, biafra, without withdrawing all their deposits in Nigeria banks before leaving?
Knowing that there was no Internet banking then?
Knowing that you can only withdraw from the same branch where you opened your account then (if you open an account in Firstbank Yaba, you cannot withraw from Firstbank Surulere in those days)?
Many of your people sold their belongings in various part of the country and relocated to biafra their new country as instructed by Ojukwu.
People like Chinua Achebe, Zik, Ekwueme, Nzeribe, Mbanefo even Ojukwu etc never complained that they were given #20 only. Who are those faceless beings that left huge money in their bank accounts, but was given only #20.
That #20 was a kind gesture and act of benevolent from the Federal government of Nigeria as suggested and implemented by great Awo. It is never done anywhere in the world.
Also remember that all the federal allocations due to Eastern region during the war period was well kept for them by Awolowo, and this was released to them via Nnamdi Azikiwe and Easterners controlled bank after the war. Please read with opened mind.
