Oba Akinyele didn't use a charmed staff - says Grand-daughter on Heroes Past | Stephen Adeagbo

The seat of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, a town South-West of Nigeria, is no doubt a revered post in Yorubaland. It has been a non-hereditary position right from inception. The late Oba Isaac B. Akinyele was the first educated Olubadan, and the second Christian to ascend the throne. During a weekly programme, tagged Heroes Past on Cross-Fire Radio, an evolving online radio in Ibadan, Deaconess Victoria Oluwafunmilayo Mala, who happens to be the grand-daughter of the late Oba I. B. Akinyele, unfolded some exciting revelations about her grandfather, Oba Isaac B. Akinyele. My mother, the late Chief Mrs. Fehintola Ajibola Ogunbitan, was the first granddaughter of Oba Akinyele. My grandfather was generous, caring, loving, and prayerful. She emphasised how he took over people’s problems as his until such problems were well solved. ‘If they bring any thief to him, he would appreciate the people and allow them to go. He would then face the thief, preach to him and give a multiple of what he had stolen back to him. He knew that he wouldn’t have stolen if the thief was not hungry!' These and many other issues were discussed. Read the details here: https://stephenadeagbo.wordpress.com/...
