WHEN OLUWO OF IWO TURNED CHAMPION BOXER & PUMMELED FELLOW ROYAL FATHER WITH VEHEMENCE IN PUBLIC

In what can be described as very 'unroyally' and a totally undignified manner not expected of a king, especially a royal father of the height of the stool he sits on and represents, the controversial and self styled King of the empire of Iwo, 'Oba AbdulRosheedAdewale Akanbi Telu 1', Emperor of Iwoland and undoubtedly the most colorful and most flamboyant king in Nigeria currently, threw decorum to the dogs and acted so uncouth, as he decided to handle his situation like a [man], via fisticuffs, as he manhandled or better still pummeled & assaulted a fellow royal father, who he has addressed as a mere Baale, 'community head' in his domain, who he alleged refered to him as a [mad man].

The king who it seems, love attention a whole lot, whether it be good or bad, palatable or unpalatable, did this new low publicly and thank God, for the intervention of some people that were at the public event which was supposed to have discussed on peace in Iwoland, most especially a high ranking Police Officer, maybe the King might have actually taken the law fully into his own hands and what we are saying now might have been far worse than it is already.

So AIG of Police, Zone 11, Bashir Makama had called for a peace meeting to discuss same amongst the royal fathers from Iwo axis. And then the Oluwo who is the consenting authority in Iwo land is alleged to have gotten up unprovoked and eagled on 'Oba Dhirulahi Akinropo, the Agbowu of Ogbaagba town', who he assaulted with vehemence. But for the timely intervention of the AIG himself, matters could have been far worse.

The Oluwo was reported to have angrily said afterwards that--“Me, Oluwo, Agbowu is calling me a mad man. Ordinary Baales want to be challenging me. I will show you my worth and there will be war in the entire Iwoland.

“I am the only Oba in Iwoland, others are Baales that I gave land, they now want to be challenging me. Can any Baale in Ifeland do that to Ooni”,

The so called peace meeting after the attack, simply ended in fiasco  as the Oluwo angrily took his leave.

When he was later called to address the unsavory situation or better still allegation, he was said to have retorted-"there is no issue at all, I wonder why they are so sensational about the issue, we would take care of it, why are they inviting you guys over such an issue, I don’t think it is necessary.”

It can be readily recalled that from the moment that Oba AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi Telu 1 came on the throne of his forebears in Iwoland in November 2015 as the 16th monarch of the town of close to 200,000 thousand people, it has been one loud turbulence after the other.

In fact his unrelenting fight with one of his top chiefs in his own Oba-in-council, who can be tagged his most vociferous enemy, Chief Abiola Ogundokun easily comes to mind. Both the king and Chief Ogundokun for the past few years now have refused to sheath their swords ⚔. And it has been since, with allegations and counter allegations flying left, right and center in the war.

In fact, Chief Ogundokun at one time even alleged that Oba AbdulRosheed wanted to beat him up in 2017, in front of the then Governor of Osun State, his excellency, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, this we think might just be an evidence towards proving that his royal majesty might actually have violent tendencies. That unrelenting fight between the 2, then took another turn again late last year, when after the king had sent his former wife and the mother of his child, former Queen Chanel Chin parking unceremoniously from their matrimonial home, he later on alleged after much hoopla that his then wife in connivance with Chief Ogundokun had planned or tried to poison him!

In 2017, just about 2 years after he had ascended the throne as Oluwo of Iwo, him being the  paramount king of Iwoland and the only known 1st class king and consenting authority from that domain with about 30 other smaller kings under him, had had a major quite public fight with the Oluwo Oke of Iwo Oke, one of those 30 or more kings under him. Emperor Telu 1 had accused the Oluwo Oke then of being rude, with the lesser known Oba even accusing the Oluwo of violence and thuggery.

As we near the half a decade coronation anniversary of the Oba, we only hope that all of these unpalatable noise would end. 

COULD LOVE HAVE TURNED SO TERRIBLY SOUR SO SOON? AS OLUWO OF IWO TOTALLY ABANDONS EX-WIFE & DAUGHTER!

Ms. Chanel Chin Ex-Queen Chanel Akanbi

Mennnnnn!!!!! When what was love before which was so openly declared and that was so so public, becomes tainted and turn sour, the resultant from such is what we are seeing now like a bad movie, which has since become something so totally unpalatable! What a shame!

What used to be likened to being in paradise, where the participants (man & woman) in the love tango were acting like it was endless love of the unbelievable kind, like theirs was unmatched by any and cannot be compared to any, has since hit the wall or rocks with a thunderous crash and has now become like a living hell from the looks of it. It's like some sort of tragic-comedy script, that one of the party wants to quickly end and wake up from, as the nightmare is becoming increasingly unbearable.

This is because, the most flamboyant, self styled, 'his imperial majesty' has now totally rejected decorum & reasoning and turned chivalry upside down as he has turned his back totally without a care in this world, on his former wife and her kid (daughter) and by virtue of the decision, has left the delectable former queen, stranded and in a dilemma, leaving her to now regret ever allowing love to rule her heart.

We have now come to a proper understanding of what it means truly that the same teeth with which a dog plays nicely with her puppies, could in one fell swoop become a weapon to devour any of such puppies too should they ever have a misstep.

Is this a tactic by the palace to make her crawl on her knees to come abegging? Maybe! And if this hard squeeze continues, then maybe they would have succeeded in doing that, but we are too sure that help like a welcome light at the end of a very dark tunnel, like a rainbow after the endless rain, could come from somewhere to rescue the former queen of Iwo, now Ms. Chanel Chin from her present horrible predicament and embarrassment. Maybe a knight in shining armour would appear from somewhere to help her.

So you were all privy to the terse in fact, very cold and clinical note that announced the parting of ways between wife and husband just a few days back, which emanated from the palace of the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi Telu 1, who prefers and loves to be addressed as his imperial majesty Emperor Telu 1, the commander/authority over the gods and representative of the Almighty God Himself. That note by proxy which was bereft of any emotion had said without mincing words or trying to be diplomatic, that the former queen had immediately ceased to be a queen and is now addressed by her maiden name and whomsoever does business with her on behalf of the Palace, does so at their own peril.

It was in fact a disclaimer by all standards and effect. And the way it was delivered, had elicited major reactions against the palace, by those who felt that, a person's wife even if not one any more, shouldn't be treated so terribly cold! But while people were still pondering on the treatment metered out already to her, many didn't even know that, what might have occurred before might even have just been a tip of the iceberg, as it is been said that the ex-queen a Canadian by birth, whose father is a Jamaican and mother British and who married the king in 2016 just after his coronation, was actually pushed out from the palace and her marriage after the severe demotion, without a dime!

Hence, she's now stranded and holding up somewhere in Lagos, maybe till lady luck would smile on her, maybe till she's able to raise funds to get out of the country!

This is truly a case of from the Zenith, the apex, the pinnacle, the very top, now to the nadir, the very bottom. A totally shocking situation we dare say. In fact a  truly grace to grass story of the meanest order.

According to a reliable source who should know, the now totally uncelebrated ex-queen actually "left the palace with her child (a toddler for that matter who is named after Oduduwa) and boarded a public transport to Lagos without a dime! Both mum and daughtejr are hungry and stranded. Forget the façade created by the palace when Oluwo of Iwo said he would take responsibility of the baby, Oduduwa. He hasn’t. So far, the queen is stranded and hibernating somewhere in Lagos.”

For us we think it is a shame and totally unbecoming of the crown and the royal stool that kabiyesi represents and totally unacceptable too, to treat his ex-wife in such an undignified manner. A king worth his mettle is supposed to defend the honor of women in general, especially here his former wife and mother of his kid and not put her into deliberate ridicule and derision like she's facing now. It's like he has made up his mind to return the lady to the supposed floor he supposedly picked her from.

What viciousness!!!!!

This same lady was his vociferous supporter in the many decisions he took that many found funny then and the same viciousness with which he fought many who were against him then is what he is also now using against his former wife and mother of his daughter. 

NIGERIA'S MOST FLAMBOYANT KING (ROYAL FATHER) DUMPS HIS 35 YEAR OLD JAMAICAN WIFE & ANNOUNCES THEIR PARTING AS CLINICALLY AS POSSIBLE. NEW WIFE IN THE OFFING SAYS THOSE WHO SHOULD KNOW

Oba Akanbi & the former Olori

If you look critically at the former queen's (Olori) pictures atimes, especially at occasions or events that she tries to come to, where she follows her then husband that's the Oluwo of Iwo, that's talking about Oba AbdulRosheed Akanbi Telu 1, the self styled Emperor Telu, who also describes himself as the "alashe lori orisha" which translates to mean 'the commander or authority over the gods' and by extension the very representative of the Almighty (Arole Olodunare) to, you would have seen or noticed some sort of strain, like she was trying so hard to try to enjoy herself or blend in. Her face was always just too stern like she wasn't really happy, it was as if she wasn't having much fun, but was trying her best to just manage it all.

Her ex-husband was a loud person, who loves and seeks attention always. Best way to describe him would be to add the tag controversial. From the moment he came to our consciousness, it's one unnecessary attention seeking news after the other, much to the chagrin of onlookers.

Can any actually blame her for not blending in as she should have? Not necessarily! The Prince then while leaving abroad met his wife and they got married in an environment that she could easily blend and adjust to. Maybe she knew he could be king one day and there was the initial excitement then. But it looked like the fun and the excitement soon disappeared after all and finally, the love, the spark and all which could make everything endurable soon withered away and the center couldn't hold together no more, hence the parting of ways. Even their kids that could have made the whole thing even manageable, were never heard about. So maybe that could have added to the strain of the whole matter.

And in his very characteristic any how way of doing things, one of Nigeria's most flamboyant kings, who loves it very loud for a purpose, the most in your face South West King in Nigeria, who seemingly is never afraid to say his mind as he deem fit has announced with as little emotion possible as he could muster, has said rather emphatically that his former Olori is no longer his wife and whomsoever does any business with her, does so at their own peril. It's quite obvious from the wordings of the king that things might not have ended too well after all.

Hear him even if done via proxy-

Ms. Chanel Chin is an Ex-Queen of Oluwo.
This is to inform the general public most especially friends and associates of the Oluwo of Iwoland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu I, that Ms Chanel Chin is an ex-queen of his majesty.

This information is necessary for the attention of the general public to avoid representation on proxy or accordance of respect attached to the sacred stool of Oluwo to her.

For personal irreconcilable differences, Chanel Chin ceased to be his Majesty’s queen.

We equally enjoin the public to disregard any business transaction or request with her using the office of his majesty.

We wish her the best in her new journey.

Alli Ibraheem, CPS to Oluwo.

Obviously from the above, it's obvious that the former Olori is now a 'persona non grata' in Iwo and environs and in fact Nigeria and it's also quite obvious that she might have escaped from Nigeria already to her relief. To go start life anew. Curiously, there is only one picture of the former Queen on the king's page and it's the picture that comes with the announcement of the death of their marriage. So the former queen is as good as gone with history, the past!

Chanel Chin is the 35 year old daughter of a Jamaican reggae star by name Ludlow Chin who is also known known as Bobo Zaro. Oba AbdulRosheed met Chanel in Canada a few years back then and one thing led to another and they got married in 2016. There marriage has only lasted 3 years. Chanel was 32 when they met.

In an interview she had granted a Jamaican publication, the Jamaica Gleaner then, after she has gotten married and became a queen then, Chin had revealed that "she is very honoured to represent Jamaica in such a big way.

‘My ancestors were taken away as slaves, but I have returned to Africa as a queen. One’s destiny cannot be altered. As a young child, I always wanted to come to Africa, but didn’t know how. I feel this is a great opportunity for black people worldwide to return to their home.’

She then added: ‘Our forefathers and ancestral mothers were cast away as slaves to never return, but I want Jamaicans everywhere to know that Africa is so nice. The culture and traditions are so rich and lovely. It’s truly something every black person should come and experience.’

She then further explained that as the queen of Iwo land, her responsibility is to always set a proper example for young girls and women in the community. She then went on to elebirate that, her dressing and outfits are to always be conservative and respectful.

‘No matter what I wear, my shoulders and full legs must be covered at all times. All of my clothes are custom made to match these requirements. 

But alas, things are no more the way she had envisaged. One hopes that her narrative hasn't changed now for the negative.

The then Prince AbdulRosheed was a Canada based well heeled sharp businessman, who became the king of his homestead after the stool became vacant after the demise of the former King in 2013. The then Prince AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi Ilufemiloye ascended the throne of his forebears on November 9, 2015 making it 4 years on the throne already and he immediately adopted Telu 1 as his title. The Iwo stool has existed since 1415 till date.

After the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, Oba Akanbi, would be the 2nd Yoruba royal father to divorce or separate from a former wife, so openly. And like the Ooni, we are expecting that Kabiyesi should also very soon announce that an Olori or some Oloris have been found to take the place of the former Queen Chanel.

Long live the king!!!! 

IS THE REVERED OLUWO OF IWO, EMPEROR TELU 1 NOW A UNILAG STUDENT?

Innoson Wagon

Oluwo of Iwo

Emperor AbdulRosheed Akanbi Telu 1

Like it has been said severally, "Envy no matter how bad, deep or terrible cannot take away not stop the sweet savour of Honey", so no matter how one see or perceive Innoson Motors or even the Emperor of Greater Iwo, Oba Akanbi Telu 1, it still does not take nothing away from them.

Innoson Motors like we all know are probably the only indigenous motor manufacturers in Nigeria presently. And in this era of inward reintegration, we cannot just understand how come they haven't become the preferred company/brand for cars in Nigeria and for Nigerians. Imagine the country just supporting her own brand, what an extraordinary amount of good that would have turned out. Just imagine what the growth of such a brand like Innoson would have done to unemployment etc.

The monarch of Iwo though a  very colourful and flamboyant king, though loud and having loads of detractors, it doesn't still take away from the fact that he has brought good attention one way or the other to his domain and towards our very rich culture and traditions and he seem to be changing the narrative about his homestead--Iwoland gradually and steadily.

Just imagine if all the many very prominent, highly influential and very well to do Nigerians, would show support to such a brand like Innoson Motors very openly like the Iwo monarch has done now for a bit!

The picture above which looks nothing shy of a brand spanking new Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon is actually an Innoson Wagon, this was actually gotten by the wealthy Iwo monarch sometime ago, to show support for Made in Nigeria. Just by mere looking at it from the outside it's a stunner par excellence and Innoson Motors must be commended for a good job well done.

Just imagine that instead of all the Rolls Royce Phantoms, Ghosts, Wraith, Dawn, Benthleys, Jaguars, Range Rovers, Maybachs etc or even with all of these brands, just imagine all our state Governments, Ministries, Federal Government and more would support our home grown brand? They be seen to ride Innoson Motors, their entourage also driving Innoson Motors, companies, schools etc In Nigeria all supporting Innoson Motors, just imagine! Our own Kia Motors, Ford Motors etc help our own economy to grow!

Away from this our dream of the ideal Nigeria (the utopia) and back to the OLUWO of Iwo and his Innoson Wagon, the gorgeous wagon with his logo or should we say insignia was actually seen at the University of Lagos, maybe the Alase Lori orisa (the authority over the gods) is pursuing a degree course or even his master's degree programme in the school for all we know.



  

OLUWO OF IWO- EMPEROR TELU 1, IS THIS NIGERIA'S MOST FLAMBOYANT ROYAL FATHER?

In every way and manner you might want to describe him he is loud!

Is it in the way he talks or what he says? Is it in his way of dressing? Those royal garbs he loves to adorn are what you can describe as "loud for a purpose".  They come in all the loudest colours that comes to mind, be it blood red, sunflower yellow, royal purple, florescent green, awesome burgundy, badass blue, just think of the colour, this King or should we say self styled Emperor of Iwoland is not shy at all! It's like the louder the colour, the more at home and comfortable the king is in wearing the outfits.

And it's not only just about the colours of the garbs or ensemble alone, even the embroidery and designs on the outfits are not for the faint hearted at all. They are supremely and outrageously dramatic. And when we say ensemble, we mean that it is a complete garb, which includes his pair of colourful shoes too, his royal staff bedazzled with crystals and with the big bird on it shining proudly for all to see, and even the crown is not left out at all emblazoned in Swarovski crystals and they come in all colours too. And lest we forget, even Kabiyesi's sunshades are also loud too! It's like everything about him is deliberately made to make a statement, some would even say to intimidate!

At least we are glad, that the days of drama, when royal fathers used to command so much attention and respect is back again! Not only does the OLUWO of Iwo, the self styled Emperor of Iwoland, Oba AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu 1, the "Alashe Lori Orisha" meaning the "grand commander (authority over) of the gods"; the gods here referring to the ancestors who were once alive and have died and have gone on to become influences over and above the living (that's how he himself explained it). The title doesn't just end there, it goes on as the "Asoju Eledumare" meaning the "Special Envoy" or the "Very Representative of the God", the Natural Paramount Ruler of Iwoland, even his own rendition of his own titles is sagacious to say the least.

For you to even better understand it, even the King's wife, who is Jamaican born and who is the King's number 1 accessory, a proper eye candy we dare say that's by virtue of what she also adorns is also always the cynosure of all eyes when she and her husband goes out together or are seen out together.

So is this King (Oba)/Emperor Nigeria's most flamboyant/colourful king by all standards?

More after the break.
