Segun Showunmi Upholds Tradition,Mourns Alaafin of Oyo with remarkable words

Shall the ancestors not know that their gain is our loss, oh iku you have killed Alafin Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi and brought an abrupt end to 52 glorious years on the throne of Oyo kingdom.

Who will speak your  type of original Yoruba language to us, who will interpret the drum beats,a custodian of our very rich heritage has become a deity. 

Full of wisdom, such a consummate entertainer, fit as a fiddle, boxer, dancer, poet of the Yoruba genre, an Oba in every sense of the word. 

Olayiwola omo Iku, omo arun, iku baba yeye, wo giri la giri omo ojo pa sekere mo le, san obe sun, fi apo rori,layiwola hu irun loju gun, penlebe hu irun latelese, baba ti yin lo wo fulani tin lo josi to ni tani erukeru fo judi,tani karambani fi ara e pe, ogbona bi elebun sopona, kai sopana o gbona elebun re lo gbona. 

Oh death the curtain has drawn on such a colorful character, go well, the ancestors will receive you in warm Celestia embrace, Ladigbolu will be pleased , Adeyemi the first will be happy, ofiran baba Oranyan will be satisfied, elenpe, aole and others before you will initiate you into the cult of the Orishas. 

Yoruba land bear witness that you tried, all Yoruba sons and daughters mourn you and wish that your creator Allah have mercy on you and forgive your shortcomings.

SEVEN MAJOR POLICY REVIEW & ACTION THE PRESIDENT MUST TAKE NOW TO TRANSFORM NIGERIA'S ECONOMY

Image
It is important to state that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is known for MAKING  men.  Those that are close to him confirmed that he does not say no to request for help.  He is said to be a giver; perhaps he learnt that from Chief M.K.O Abiola.  Clearly, he has his eyes on that seat he is occupying today for over 30 years.He worked towards it with all his energy and he built bridges all over the country to achieve that aim. That implied preparation and building of bridges across the country is not cheap at all.You need money and time.
