Good morning, Alagba Ojutalayo:
Our Chief Otunba Ude is turning into a joker indeed.
He's telling us he's a liar like his Igbos.
What his rambler's rants show is that, he was just regurgitating what he heard from his older ancestors about Penkelemess. The chief neither knows what kind of politics Penkelemess was playing, nor is he aware of his emergence......all Chief Otunba Ude knows is that, Adelabu was with Azikwe and against Awo.
That was the same stupidity showcased by the Osu KC Ngozi Asagwara, when he stated his ignorance on "Penkelemess" means "Political mess".
These ignoramus igbo brothers are now telling all their hate filled stories to their younger ones like Nnamdi Kanu.
Those younger ones are now taking positions that may eventually spells doom for the Igbos again.
Adegoke Adelabu did not leave any worthwhile Infrastructural or palpable Legacy except the word "Penkelemess", and his opposition to Awo's party. Adelabu was just a great speech deliverer and a witty person just like most Ibadan people if you ever sat with them and chat.
My driver is an Ibadan boy, very smart, a mechanic when I wasn't around, and very quick on his feet with jabs of street speeches that kept me laughing most times as he rain abuses on street hawkers and police alike.
Most Ibadan people are very witty, and very articulate in deliverance of speeches to the point that one will understand, be amused at once..... and this wittiness spread from Oyo thru Ogbomosho and to Ibadan, if you are a good observant of humans.
It was this wittiness we witnessed in SL Akintola as against Awo's reservedly conservative in nature, which may represent the Ijebu people's cool and calculating demeanor.
When Adelabu became a federal minister, what part of Ibadan did he impact with development, in social or infrastructure-wise?
Maybe there was, I never saw or heard about it.
All I knew and heard about him was that he invented the word "Penkelemess". Lobatan!
JUST TO MAKE IGBOS HAPPY....Maybe Yoruba should start giving awards to inventors of words like "Penkelemess", while we ignore leaders who built Cocoa House, start educational revolution, implement free health and promote sports by building stadiums and introducing TV and radio to Yorubaland......
Wo ojare before I run off into Tangential Sunset, let's leave these ignorants to their delusions!
