Ajimobi Not My Son, He Doesn’t Have Respect For My Stool — Olubadan
*
*


The Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, is still not happy with former governor Abiola Ajimobi over the crisis the elevation of high chiefs to Obaship status.

Ajimobi, had towards the tail end of his two-term administration elevated high chiefs and Baales to Obaship status.

This newspaper understands that the case in respect of the crisis is still in court.

Oba Adetunji, who spoke on the controversies trailing the implementation of the Ibadan chieftaincy reform law by the Ajimobi administration, said Ajimobi is not his son. “He is not my son; a person who does behave well and has no respect for my stool is never my son.”



The monarch, who is the 41st Olubadan, bared his mind in an interview with SundayPUNCH.



This is just as he denied consenting to the reform, explaining that “When he (Ajimobi) informed me about the plan, I told him to be patient so that we would know how to handle it. But he ignored my advice and started doing what pleased him. I know that with what he was doing, he was just putting himself into trouble. He did what he wanted to do; he didn’t carry me along. How would I have consented to what was clearly against the tradition of the land? And I thank God the new governor listens to wise counsel; he is calm and he acknowledges the supremacy of the kings.”



He said that he is not unwilling to welcome the elevated Obas back to the Olubadan-in-council, asking if they really want to come back. “Is it as kings or as chiefs? If they want to come back, they must first drop their crowns. Besides, in Yorubaland, once you become a king, you cannot say you want to become a chief again. That is what they ought to have understood. Ibadan is not different from other Yorubaland.”



On the accusation that his wife meddles in the affairs of the council, which affected the council’s decisions at its meetings, he explained that “the allegation against my wife is not true. She has nothing to do with the issue at hand. It was a blatant lie that she interfered in the decisions at the palace.”

“After rehearsals, I thanked and bade him goodbye, when I got to d exit I noticed the door was locked and the key was removed. I turned to ask him why he had locked and remove d key. When I looked at him, his face had changed into something else; it was as if a demon had entered him. That was the scariest look I’ve ever seen. There he was, standing with a small knife, he asked me to take off my clothes else he could kill me and lock me in and no one would know where I am. He was right, cos I didn’t tell anyone who he was, so I started crying and begging him but it made him more aggressive, I finally took off my clothes and he had his way...”

No More Dispute Between Ooni and Alaafin – Oba Adeyemi
*
*

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III has assured the Yoruba nation that the hostility between him and the Ooni of Ife should be considered a thing of the past.

Acocording to PM News, the highly revered king said this was imperative to move the Yoruba nation forward, vowing that, “from now on, Alaafin and Ooni will no longer fight”.


Oba Adeyemi delivered this heart-warming message at the gathering of Yoruba leaders and Presentation of the translation of ‘Awo’, the autobiography of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, held on Thursday June 27, 2019, at the International Conference Centre, ICC, University of Ibadan, UI.

He also appealed for calm over rising tensions in the country and the perceived docility on the part of governors in the South-West to rise to the occasion as expressed by earlier speakers at the event.

The Oba appealed to the Yoruba not to lose hope in their governors and promised to talk to President Muhammadu Buhari on the way out of the worrisome security situation in the region.


He also said that for Nigeria to continue to exist, true federalism has become necessary to be adopted for the running of the affairs of Nigeria.

He, however, expressed disappointment in the current political office holders who, he said, did not follow the footsteps of their forefathers, saying that he might have problem with Chief Awolowo when he was alive, but that would not stop him from acknowledging the good things the late sage did for the Yoruba nation.


According to him, Awolowo fought for the Yoruba and brought development to the region.

Earlier, in his welcome address, the Publisher of Alaroye Newspaper, Mr. Alao Adedayo, who was the brain behind the event, set the agenda saying, “You are invited to talk about Yoruba”.

Adedayo, who lamented the state of the South West said, “When Nigeria started, Yoruba was at the forefront in everything: education, commerce, infrastructure and others. In 1952 when politics started, Yoruba was making robust laws. Yoruba was the first to establish a bank, Agbonmagbe, which later became National Bank. In 1952, the foundation laid by Yoruba was being followed. In 1966, things started deteriorating and it is so surprising that things can be this bad. We the first have become the last because we are now divided. If we are organized and united, we can’t be enslaved in our land. Now Fulani has started destroying us. How can we rebuild? This is the reason for this gathering”.

He stated further: “Politicians are behind the problems Yoruba is facing. Why do we turn politics to business? Why is it not possible for the Yoruba to come together to move South West forward? Why can’t we work together irrespective of the political party affiliation? We look at who can bring us together and we believe that it is only Awolowo that can bring us together and that is why we have used Awolowo to bring us together”.

Also speaking in the same vein, Awolowo’s daughter and former Nigerian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Dr. Olatokunbo Ayoka Awolowo-Dosunmu, emphasised unity among Yoruba sons and daughters, saying “Yoruba has to come together to build the region and ensure that the legacy the forefathers, especially Awolowo, left behind is not destroyed”.

Ordeal and information on pig by a pig lover

PORK MEAT.
PORK meat is derived from slaughtered pig, also called swine. It is very sweet to the taste, contain a lot of fat. It was part of my regular meal some years back. It eventually landed me in an hospital only to come out after two weeks.

Farmers testify that swine will eat anything; urine and faecal matter, dead animals, cancerous growths etcetera. Forty two diseases and parasites may be passed from swine (pig) to humans, not the least of which is trichinosis (trichinella spiralis). In the flesh of the pig, the Trichinae worms are often so minute and early transparent as to,evade the inspectors microscope. Once ingested, the Trichinae lodge and thrive in various parts of the human body and may be confused with some fifty ailments: typhoid fever, arthritis, rheumatism, gall bladder trouble, and even acute alcoholism to name just a few.

According to a commentary" there is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that parasitic organism are killed". In addition to trichinae, pigs also host at least twelve other parasitic worms
