Soun Ogbomoso Joins His Ancestors

[Toyin Falola]

Oba Waja!

 

After 48 years—the Soun has become a god, to receive our pleas and intercede on our behalf. I met him in his palace several times, sometimes for interviews, sometimes with the Danmoles, sometimes with colleagues.

Moving commemoration.

Brief and memorable.

May Kabiyesi stay well in the abode of peace where he is currently with the ancestors. He was a popular kind with royalty. May God console his family, friends, and all Ogbomoso indigenes!

Ajagungbade!

Iku, makin Oba de iyewu agba;

Oke aja ni oba a wa;

Oba ki i ku;

Oba Ajagungbade waja l'Ogbomoso Ajilete!

Ogbomoso, A-ji-jeka-o-to-muko-yangan!

Ajagungbade;

Ako l'aarin awon oba.

Eeyan to toba tele to to dade!
