The monarch who was installed as the 46th Alaafin about five months ago maintained that he had sworn with Yoruba ancestors never to denigrate the culture, tradition and norms of the race.
He said, “Oyo simply rose to prominence through wealth gained from trade and its military skills. It was the largest West African empire, the most important and authoritative of all the early Yoruba principalities. More so, the British, as it was in their tradition, recognised lineage as meaningful supremacy and legitimacy, preferring to sign the Treaty of Cessation with the Alaafin as the Superior Head of the Yoruba Nation.”
Adding that he has sworn to his ancestors to defend and add glamour to Yoruba tradition, he stressed he would never be in a supremacy battle with any king.
According to him, “Why Alaafin does not need to get into any battle for supremacy with any Oba, either in Yorubaland or anywhere in the universe? These immortal words of Alexander Graham Bell – The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion”.
Surprisingly, the monarch avoided any other comments relating to his strained relationship with the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Eniitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi who he ordered to withdraw the chieftaincy title he conferred on a business magnate, Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi.
The statement further read, “At the hallowed ground of the Yoruba ancient shrine, as Owoade made a covenant with illustrious Yoruba ancestors that he would defend, protect and add glamour to the Yoruba norms and tradition.”
The statement explained that Alaafin is a veritable custodian of Yoruba culture and tradition, and has always taken into consideration the safety and welfare of his subjects at all times. It added that the monarch relied heavily on the will and wishes of his subjects.
“The monarch operates a government that is judged by its result, as prosperity, security and well-being of the people dictated his popularity both in the palace and in the empire at large.
It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider, and progressively be able to grasp any theme or situation -persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree” – sum up the life voyage of Owoade, an indomitable monarch with an unequalled passion for the great good of all”.
“He (Alaafin) is a veritable custodian of Yoruba culture and tradition, and has always taken into consideration the safety and welfare of his subjects and will never compromise tradition, culture and development of his people for a pot of porridge. The history has been so kind and friendly to Alaafin Owoade publicity since he ascended the throne of his forefathers, as he does not need to get into any battle for supremacy with any oba, either in Yorubaland or anywhere in the universe.
“Alaafin combines humility with royalty to meet the modern-day demands. Kabiyesi (the king who no one questions). Iku Baba Yeye (The one who commands death/he who is parent to death). Alashe (He who wields authority). Ekeji Orisha (Second-in-command to the gods). The Alaafin was inducted into the mysteries of various gods like Ifa, Sango etc, to be the direct representative of these deities on earth.”
“At the hallowed ground of the Yoruba ancient shrine, as Owoade made a covenant with illustrious Yoruba ancestors that he would defend, protect and add glamour to the Yoruba norms and tradition. Oduduwa’s Principal minister and grandson, Oranmiyan (Because Oduduwa begot Okanbi, (an only child and Okanbi begot Oranmiyan, among others, namely Ila-Orangun, Oni-Sabe, Olu-Popo, Ala-Ketu, Oba-Benin) founded the city of Oyo when a prolonged drought struck Ile-Ife as a result of people’s emigration.
“In politics also, he is concerned about the sanctity of his position, and whatever happens on the welfare of his people. Customs and all traditional practices of today in government, religion and economic life have had distance, and possibly age-long origins which were based on valid and accepted tenets that emerged from the synthesis and aggregated experience of a particular society.
“One of such societies is the ancient city of Oyo, reputed for cultural resources that are of rich non-material and material attributes and transmitted through generations. Moreover, the precepts and concepts of Alaafin’s administration have continued to support and nurture the people’s ancient culture and sophisticated civilisation from time immemorial.
“The basic concept of government was monarchy with a rigid adherence to the monolithic Oduduwa dynasty and of the paternal line.”
Olugbon appeals for caution
Meanwhile, the Vice Chairman of Oyo State Traditional Council, Olugbon of Orile-Igbon, Oba Francis Olushola Alao, has cautioned supporters of both kings to stop ongoing media comments capable of escalating the crisis.
Oba Alao said he had discussed with both leading monarchs and confirmed that they are both interested in unity and peace in Yorubaland.
Oba Alao described the ongoing controversy as unnecessary and speculative.
>>Both you and the Alaafin of Oyo are complete morons. Your British colonial masters have no say in Yorubaland. Nigeria is an independent nation. No treaty signed by any stupid colonial master has any meaning or legal backing after Nigeria became independent, you idiots. There is no superiority or inferiority between Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of Oyo, you dummies. Both of you are first class thieves <<.

The Yoruba wannabe, Deranged Ape Kayode Adebammuọjọ, has the temerity to abuse Yoruba monarchs this rancidly?

Maher later topped the satire with a promise to donate $5 million to charity if Trump could prove that he was not the product of a sexual activity between his mother and an orangutan -- he was obviously satirizing Trump's promise to give $5 million to anyone who would release Obama's college transcripts. Trump did not only submit a copy of his birth certificate to Maher, which attracted additional satirizing of his low IQ by Maher, he also threatened to sue Maher if Maher did not pay the $5 million to him. This made the matter an international laughing stock from a joke that was initially only heard and forgotten by watchers of HBO. Of course, Trump didn't sue and couldn't sue because no court would have entertained such idiocy.The display of idiocy, low IQ, megalomania, and shamelessness by Trump that I narrated above is exactly what the Deranged Ape is doing here -- he is helping people to noticing that he is English language-challenged. Just as Trump would err and deploy illogic and criminality to make his error the norm, the Ukwuani urchin does the same thing on these forums -- he is currently deploying illogical argument to not only wiggling out of his disgraceful deficit in comprehension/analysis, he is also using crudity and brutish propounding to making folks accept that his error is indeed the right state.

Gbam! Pathological Liar Called Kemi Dick Sucker Badenoch:
Like I said, before, the idiot and pathological liar called Kemi Kemi Dick Sucker will never be Prime Minister of UK in this lifetime, no matter how hard she sucks white man's dick in UK. All her lies will come back to haunt her. She thought she was in Nigeria where she could lie and get away with it. There are records in America and you can't get away with lies. You will be exposed in no time.
What a liar!
Kayode
The Cable
Kemi Badenoch, leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, is facing fresh questions over her past after a former Stanford University admissions officer disputed her claim that she once received an offer to study pre-med in the United States.
Badenoch has repeatedly cited the supposed offer in interviews, portraying it as an example of her parents’ financial struggles to secure her the best education despite her strong academic record.
In a 2017 interview, Badenoch said her dreams of being a doctor like her parents were cut short at 16 because she went to a “very bad school” in the UK.
Badenoch attributed part of her growing up to the US because “my mother worked internationally, so when she travelled, so did the kids”.
“I had actually got admission into medical school in the US – I got into Stanford pre-med – and I got into medical school in Nigeria, but I came here (the UK) because being a citizen, it was just a lot cheaper,” she said in the Huffington Post interview.
The claim was repeated in another interview feature published by the Times last year.
“At 16, her US SAT scores won her a partial pre-med scholarship to Stanford, but her family still couldn’t afford the place,” the report said.
The narrative was also featured in other UK dailies.
However, Stanford does not have a pre-med major, according to its website.
“For any of the health professions, you may major in any discipline,” the notice adds.
FORMER ADMISSIONS OFFICER DISPUTES CLAIM
Jon Reider, the Stanford admissions officer at the time of Badenoch’s application who was responsible for international students and the allocation of bursaries, challenged the politician’s claim.
Reider said he would have been responsible for offering Badenoch a place and had not done so.
“Although 30 years have passed, I would definitely remember if we had admitted a Nigerian student with any financial aid. The answer is that we did not do so,” he said, according to The Guardian UK.
“I assure you that we would not have admitted a student based on test scores alone, nor would we have mailed an invitation to apply to any overseas students based on test scores.
“O-levels would not have been sufficient, and we would have been very nervous admitting a 16-year-old. She would have had to have an extraordinary record.”
Reider noted that it was implausible for a student to be offered a partial scholarship that they could not afford to take up.
“If an applicant needed, say, $30,000 a year to attend Stanford, we would offer them the full amount. There was no point in offering them less because they would not have been able to attend. If we admitted them, we wanted them to enrol,” he said.
He added that none of his decisions as the admission officer was overruled by any of the deans whom he worked for.
