A MERE DOG INTERFERENCE IN JUNGLE KINGSHIP..BY TALKING PEN

A dog Interference in the Jungle Kingship
Irony of Gov.ajumobi and olubadan's kingship issue...


why should the government start crowning and naming kings? Has the yoruba culture been mudered to the extent that the government are now the ones deciding who is qualified to be a king and who isnt fit, why are they the ones telling us where to zone a kingship title nd when its deem fit to. Where are those honest elders and ifa priests and the most trustworthy kingmakers that have once lived during the period of our forefathers,the ones who will never sell the future of their wards because of wordly things,the ones who will tell you to go away with ur millions of nairas and luxurious fleet of cars which was being given to them as a gift, ones who will tell you "am comfortable living in a bungalow with my idols an 2 piece of white dansiki and sokoto plus oja with fresh air rather than living in a storey building with AC and cars with millions) please do they still exist ? What about those days that kings are like a small god to everyone which they all worship and nobody dare look straight in the eyes. Kings that will command and that command would instantly be having effect. Please where are all these kind of brave and wonderful Kings.we've heard of Jaja of opobo,what about afonja who died in the line of defending his kingdom and people,Queen amina of zaria nko ? A brave woman in the war front. Abi we should talk about moremi ajasooro! Of offa, Oranmiyan nko ,his impact while alive and even after dead is a story that cannot be forgotten.
Now why are government officials interfering in our culture is a question we are supposed to be posing and stone throwing to our corrupt kings in yoruba land, how many times have we seen or heard about dangote,or any other hausa influential directing or imposing a decision or even check and balancing for the sultan of sokoto,kaduna,kano or any other emir in the northern Nigeria,even Ilorin that is being imprisoned by a government official family,decisions isn't being made for the Emir there.
In the yoruba land we have just 3 main and most fearful kingship positions, that is OONI OF IFE, ALAAFIN OF OYO AND OKUOPOLOPOLO OF BENIN KINGDOM..these positions are being held by high esteemed personels..let's leave that aside.
Why would a common governor start installing kings all around ibadan area, is he a kingmaker? And the high ibadan cheifs that were given the titles also accepted just like that without thinking twice YORUBAAA!!!YORUBA!!!!YORUBA!!!! Why are we always self centred and we don't even think about the future of our children, if the other Kings of yoruba land are folding their arms and not saying anything about the matter that means they have eaten plantaing and cannot speak the truth anymore,  the youths are fearless of any politician. We stand against the illegal  imposition and enthroning of any wuruwuru and malicious ignoramus kings in Ibadan..Oba lamidi Alaafin of oyo empire is enough..oosa bi afin ni Alaafin,Ajumobi kai! Ko se e rifin ma danwo..Oba o ki n pe meji laafin nile Yoruba,eewo ni....

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has sacked his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi.

A statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said Adelusi was relieved of his duty over “dereliction of duty.”

The statement, which was announced on the state-owned radio station, did not explain the specific offence committed by Adelusi.

But a source in the Governor’s Office said Adelusi was sacked because he failed to organise adequate media coverage for the Eid prayer in Ado Ekiti, which the governor attended on Friday.

Olayinka said, “The governor was livid that there were no journalists in his entourage and that they were not on the ground to cover his entry into the prayer ground.

“The governor felt he had taken more than enough from the gentleman and ordered his sacking.

“The CPS, however, said he was not aware of the event because it was not officially communicated to him.

“He said there was no way he could have arranged for a media coverage for an event he was not aware of. But we hope the matter can be resolved because the governor has a large heart.”

When contacted by our correspondent, Olayinka confirmed the development. He explained that he issued the statement based on the directive of the governor.

He, however, failed to provide further details on the incident.

Attempts by our correspondent to speak with Adelusi on the issue was unsuccessful as he did not respond to calls made to his mobile phone and also to the text message sent to him as of the time of filing this report.

She's Better Than some young Nigerian Ladies - Young Man Who Married Old White woman in US

While speaking in an exclusive interview with Punch newspaper, US-based Nigerian man, Muiz Adebiyi, who became famous after his wedding photos with an older American woman, Susan Smith, went viral online, openend up on why he took the decision to marry an older partner, his experience in the over two-year-old marriage and many more.

Below is the interview between muiz and the press
 
What attracted you to your wife despite the obvious disparity in your ages?

I am attracted to her because she is very cool, loving, understanding and protective. She has a better behaviour than slay mamas.

How long did you know her before you proposed?

We had known each other for two years before we decided to get married three years after.

Was there any initial opposition from either your family or hers?

There were issues like that but our family members later understood that age is just a number and that love does not have limit. We are quite in love and happy with ourselves.

What is the exact age difference between the two of you?

I can't disclose that to you.

What profession are you into?

I am a soccer player and also a car dealer.

When there are disagreements between the two of you, who apologies first?

We both apologise when there are disagreements. But she does that first and more than I do because she is a wise wife who knows that the husband is the head of the house. She knows what marriage means.

Some people would expect you to marry a younger lady.  How would you react to that ?

I usually do not reply them because they do not know what love is all about. Everybody has their choice. I know that some will praise us and some will not.

Has there been any embarrassing moment on account of your marriage to her?

No, there has been no such thing.

Tell us about your wife.

She is a nurse and from the United States of America. She is a short person but with a high intellect. She is quite understanding and the best woman in my life after my mother.

Some people believe you chose her to get a permanent stay or something related. What do you have to say to that?

Yes, I know that most people will think that way. But I do not care because I was already a US citizen and that’s not from her.

Was she ever married?

Yes, she was married.

Most Africans are particular about children. Did you put that into consideration in making your decision too?

It is a self decision and that does not concern anyone.

Why did You called some people haters while celebrating the second anniversary of your marriage on Facebook recently. Who are they and what roles did they play in the entire affair to be so labelled?

I will not disclose that.

Does she speak Yoruba language?

Yes, she speaks Yoruba.
Having dated a Nigerian lady and now married to an older American, what comparison can you make between the two?
My wife is far better than Nigerian ladies in every positive way. She is a wife material.

READ AND digest

I remember the historic football match between *Nigeria and Brazil in Atlanta 1996.*
Brazil was the king of global football and they knew it. So, Nigeria losing to Brazil that night would not be a big deal.
Gosh! Brazil dealt with us that night. Till around 77th minutes (about 12 minutes to the end of the game) Brazil was obviously dominating the game. The score line was *Brazil 3, Nigeria 1.*
Despite the Brazil squad including star names such as *Carlos, Rivaldo, Bebeto and Ronaldo,* Nigerians watching the game still think Nigeria did not deserve such humiliation by Brazil boys, we had been beaten mercilessly.

Nigerians became angry toward the end of the match; many had turned off their Television sets, some were shedding tears. While few hoped and prayed that we would not be further disgraced with yet another goal.
But the unimaginable happened in the game.
At about 78th minutes Victor Ikepba stroked from 20 meters to score the second goal, everything changed beyond the *3:2* score line. Pressure came upon Brazil. And hope for the Nigeria players, they became more *motivated* and began to fire shots from every angle.
Then another *miracle,* at the *90th minute,* just before the final whistle, *Kanu Nwankwo* turned and flipped the ball over *Dida-The Brazilian keeper,* and it was another goal, the *equalizer.* What a wonderful match.
And there was a rule then, “the Golden Goal”. That the first to score in the extra time wins the game.
Then came the decisive goal from *'Papilo'*in just *3 minutes of the extra time.* And that was how the messy game became a message.
A lot can still be done this year to make it a glorious year, the remaining part of the year is sufficient to define the whole year. Don't loose hope now. It is too early to give up on your beautiful expectations for this year. It is not over until it is over. *Wipe off the tears and buckle your shoes.*

1. Review
2. Re-strategize
3. Relaunch.

You will win. Resist the pull of fatigue regardless of the past disappointments, delayed gratification, failures, and broken promises. Keep moving you are getting closer.

*Be motivated, hardworking, disciplined and be prayerful
