MEET HIS ROYAL MAJESTY'S "BLOOD CHILLER (COOLER)" OLORI AJOKE BADIRAT ADEYEMI

Our supremely beautiful and fantastically gorgeous focus today is one of the young wives of the top 2 most revered, most powerful and most influential monarchs from the South West, his royal Majesty the Alaafin (owner of the palace) of Oyo State, the ikubabayeye (the one who death fears), the one likened to death itself, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III.

By tradition and culture, the Oba (King) is entitled to his harem. The more rich and powerful a king is, the more the number in that harem could be, part of the reason for the large nature of harems is that the royal father is sometimes gifted his queens and also as long as he can take care of all of them, then no problems!

Kabiyesi (the one that cannot be questioned), here referring to the great Alaafin himself, who has been on the throne now for "47 eventful years" and still going on strong, has about 4 gorgeous wives, who dotes on and doesn't play with at all. We love the fact that when he travels, he carries all of them in tow and in a very stylish manner too, all doing what we call "and co" making them the cynosure of all eyes, with nobody deliberately upstaging one another.

Our special focus today though, is not on all but on the youngest and the last wife, Olori (queen) AJOKE BADIRAT ADEYEMI, 28.

This young and stylish, mother of 2 only just clocked 28 this November, 3rd of the month to be more precise.

The Yorubas are of the opinion that a young blood, can help to temper an old man's temperature in fact making him young at heart. Even the great KSA, that's King Sunny Ade for you gave credence somewhat to that assertion in one of his great hits, when he spoke about "fresh fish". No wonder Kabiyesi doesn't seem to be aging at all, even at 79 years old. Hmmmmmm baba ooooo, still full of energy and vigor (won shi nta biobio) , truly "igba keji orisha" (2nd in command to the god).

So we now know who Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III's blood chiller (cooler) is! It's none other than "Olori Ajoke Badirat Adeyemi", though she does it in conjunction with the other 3 too!

Wink!!!!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THE ROYAL EX-JAILBIRD

Of recent this dude who seems to lack decorum of any kind has been in and out of the news. He enjoys much attention, in fact he revels in it. He must surely be heard or seen one way or the other at least in a week. The king should be given the title "his royal pain in the butt".

For many of those who are unflinching fans of tradition and culture, they are of the opinion that such like him are demeaning the throne and stool that they represent. The respect and command the traditional stools and crown use to evoke, has become eroded. Their premise and arguments are based on the fact that, when a thing of immense value, becomes a cheap commodity via over exposure or been too available, it loses the value of exclusivity.

People would begin to see what should be of value as cheap stock. Gone are those days that when royal father comes to an events/occasion, their presence alone actually inspires awe and wonder. The former Oba of Benin, the late Omo n'oba Erediawa was a living example then, who used to enjoy such grace.

But this loud mouth, who enjoys and revels in fighting all and sundry and even going as much as entering into public spat with perceived opponents, without and recourse to decorum is just in a distinct class of his own.

Imagine that the dude according to our findings was a former jailbird! What?????

O' yes he went to jail. For what offence (s), the very actual we are still digging to get to the bottom of, but it's not far from the normal credit card, identity fraud, scamming etc that many get into while abroad to make ends meet. But those who used to know him then, can swear on anything to buttress their point.

So how come he hasn't been exposed for a charlatan that he is? It's because he did cover his track very well. He was one of those, like many Africans abroad with many identities. Who he is now or has become now, is not who he used to answer to then, so getting to the bottom of it all could be a bit hard.

He sits atop a well respected stool now and with a wife, whose story itself is another expose on its own. Madam used to be "very available" for all comers in those days, apparently it was even in the normal course of her normal routine and package that the duo met and they fell in love and that was the beginning of their Cinderella story. Wale in actual fact, has a family abroad that most don't know about, different from the one with his queen now!

In fact at a point while in the yonder, he couldn't boast of a house of his own and even a great car at that, compared to all the paparazzi and feferity of the big and awesomely liquid that he tries to portray​ and he is now known​ for.

  

NOT THE BEST OF TIMES FOR THE EMIR OF KANO, SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI

HRM, MUHAMMED SANUSI II, EMIR OF KANO

The Kano State House of Assembly has raised up a panel to investigate some fresh allegations against the highly revered Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Muhammad Sanusi II. There are fears raised already, that if care is not taken and the situation handled very well, it might lead to the king being desposed!!!

The Emir is known for his frankness and outspokenness and those gifts of character, might have become his albatross right now. The revered monarch is said to have lied against the Governor of his state and some other officials of Government accusing them of financial recklessness and mismanagement and wasteful spending of scarce resources. These accusations are said to have been a deliberate attempt by Alhaji Sanusi to misinform and tarnish the image of the Governor of Kano, his excellency, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and some others.

So an 8 man committee has been mandated to investigate the allegations and make their reports and recommendations in 14 days.

Let's all just hope it doesn't lead to the deposition of the very colourful and highly cerebral king, whose only weakness is his inability to stop himself from talking. We can bet that many of his powerful friends have already gone around to calm frayed nerves and find a way to give him some sort of soft landing.

THE ROYAL FATHER AND HIS UNBEARABLE BURDEN OF DEBT

He is young and very flamboyant and a well respected royal father at that, he is one that can be described as a triple threat, in fact his esteemed stool is held as very sacred. Given to vanity and wanting to announce that he also wasn't a pushover, by any means to prosecute his ambition at becoming the king of his homestead/domain he went all out. His ambition had always been to get the crown and sit on the throne. So when the opportunity fell into his lap, he left no stone unturned.

Before the opportunity to rise to the stool came, he had always been involved in one deal or the other that were not too clear, to make sure he would get to the throne he engaged the help of a few prominent people, amongst them were other royal fathers, who helped to speak to the powers that be or those who could influence decisions. One out of the royal fathers, was an equally young and flamboyant king too, who went all out for him, believing they were close and also because he was very connected, so it was this one that introduced him majorly to the powers that be, that assured him and made sure all was going to be well.

To further enhance his status, the king to be then went all out borrowing. At a bank he got a loan of half a billion (N500 million Naira), with this he went on a spending spree. Several Prados exchanged hands, not to talk of innumerable numbers of transformers. This wasn't enough though, friends and supporters even contributed greatly here and there. The King needed to elevate his status to match what he perceived was the standard already laid down; there were luxury items befitting a king to be to buy or acquire, the particular distinct watches and jewelry to own, humongous cars to fit the new status, a befitting, stand out palace, the very aura of the well made needed to be fitted into. The former royal father had set a colossal antecedence, that the king wanted to match at all cost.
