The CABAL Has Just Been Dislodged By The CARTEL

What we saw yesterday was a coup de tat, in which the de facto president is now 100% loyal to the CARTEL. In case you are not aware, the cartel is made of OBJ, TY Danjuma, Abdul Salami, Guazo, and even their latest recruit, Jonathan Goodluck. These are the men now running Nigeria through Gambari. Things are about to change. 

Aisha wanted control of  the villa. She knew she could not do it alone, so reached out to the CARTEL for their assistance, and they willing gave it to her, knowing that the enemy of your enemy is a friend.

Mamman Duara, the head of the CABAL has been fully schemed out. Look out a complete overhaul of Buhari's cabinet, and all other appointments. Nigeria may just have been saved from the brink of catastrophe. We have Aisha to thank. 

Gambari is a PDP man to the core. All the potential candidates branded by APC were dropped, and a PDP man was put in place.

Never underestimate the power of a beautiful woman who has all the fact.

Blatant Lies About Owo Men

As Owo demon(swaggerlicous) and Ibile gan-gan, I find it irritating when I am being judged by misconceptions people have about my people. Some of these judgments are baseless.

Intiatlly I was trying to  married outside my tribe and my fiancee was being advised against marrying an Owo person, listing out all the characters of Owo people without even seeing me once.

It is high time that we as a new generation had to move past it, and fully accept our flaws and imperfections on an individual basis and not as a community.

 

I am not here to defend the men in my home town, but here to tell you the actions of 9 out of 10 people in the same community does not mean they all behave the same behaviors, we must learn to give people a chance based on their person and not based on where they came from, they never choose to come from that  particular community so they should not be judged by it then.

Here are some blatant lies against Owo men.

*Owo Men Love Women*

This misconception is totally false and a blatant lie, personally I am yet to see a man from any tribe that does not love women. Women are the salt of the earth, any occasion without the present of women it will be bored.

 I agree to some extent that some Owo men love women and can’t do without them, but  men from other tribes, ethics, towns and community also like women. So this issue does not limit to one town, naturally men are moved by  sight.

And I have seen some Owo men who hardly have time for women, and are very less interested in having an affair with more than one woman.

I feel this behaviour is a personal trait and should not be generalized. The same people that will categorise you as someone that love women will be the same person that will chase after everything in skirts as far they have money to spend.

*Owo men marry more than one wife*

This only happened in the olden days where our fathers married more than one wife and bear more children so that they can help him in his farm lands and this is not limited to Owo community alone.

We are now in 21century nobody marry more than one wife again most Owo men only practice one man one wife.

*Owo men are dirty*

Once again personal hygiene is on an individual basis, and his background, the personal hygiene of some people should not affect all. Meeting an average Owo man will make you drop this misconception fast.

*Owo men are lazy and depend on their wife*

I personally am hardworking and dislike the idea of even demanding anything from my wife not to talk of living of my wife, and there are over a hundreds people who also share and act on this opinion.

*Owo Men are drunkards*

Hmm, hello have you ever been to other towns and communities.

Drinking is a personal stuff.

Most men love to drink, so it should not be attributed to one tribe.

*Owo Men are not bold*

From the mouth of many people, you would have heard about how a an Owo person loves to brag and shout, but when it comes to facing a fight, he runs away or becomes a coward. 

First of all, nobody likes violence or danger, in the face of it, only a fool will wait and face danger, if he has the option of avoiding it. That is not to say if the situation warrants a confrontation, every Owo person will become cowards. 

I know for a fact this is a big lie, I have seen some very violent Owo people and I think to myself is this the people that is cowardice. If you don't believe me, try to provoke an average of Ehinogbe, Uloro, Ugboroko men you will know that there is different between 6 and half a dozen. But no matter what we should discourage violence.

*Owo men beat their wife* 

This is another misconception about the ever loving and caring Owo men. Owo town are mixed with different people from many neighboring towns an villages and these people have stay longer in Owo town. Whenever there is domestic fight and these set of people are speaking the Owo language many people will believe that Owo men are beating their wives. Owo men love their wife and they don't beat their women.

Misconceptions About Owo Women Ladies

As Owo person I find it irritating

when the female genders from my town are being judged by

misconceptions people have about

 females from my home town.

This is  mostly untrue and a biased opinion being passed down from one generation to another.

I do hear some Owo parents advising their male children not to marry from Owo. You are from Owo and you are running the females of your home town down, if you were being runned down I believe your husband will not married you .

We as a new generation must move

past it, and fully accept our flaws

and imperfections on an individual

basis and not being judgemental . If a lady or woman misbehave in her husband house we should treat it has an individual character not to generalized it. Not to judge all females that they are the same .

Every body as an element

of good and bad. I am not here to defend the so called characteristics of a individual, but here to tell you the actions of one or two persons

does not mean they all behave the

same way, we must learn to give

people a chance based on their

person and not based on where they were born, they never choose to be born in a particular town, so they should not be judged by it then.

Here are some of Misconceptions

about Owo ladies/ Women/ girls

*Owo Women are promiscuous*

This is blatant lie.This assertion stem from the fact that some Owo women will have children out of wedlock while in their

parents’ house, and follow different

men while nursing or taking care of

their child. I will not deny that this

does not happen, it does, but it is

never condoned in Owo town, as a normal behavior. Some of this women do that out of frustration and in order to find means for their survival remember they are not in their husbands house.

A lot of Owo women are virtuous

women, who remain faithful to their

husband, even after the death of

their husband, they are still faithful.

*Owo Women are dirty*

Personal hygiene is on

an individual basis, and her

background, the personal hygiene of some people should not affect all. Meeting an average Owo women will make you drop this misconception fast.

 *Owo Women are lazy and depend

on their husbands*

I have met with many Owo Women who are  hardworking and

dislike the idea of demanding 

everything from their husbands check these wonderful Owo Women out in the market places across the country, in their offices and shops they are passionate about their jobs and business they support their husbands to harness the future of their families.

*Owo Women are too fetish*

This believe are pointed to all yorùbá women in general. I may be tempted to agree with you,

because of what we Yoruba people

portray of ourselves in our local

movies. To be more factual before

the advent of Christianity, Yoruba

tribe worshiped deities, but guess

what almost all tribe in Nigeria also

did before the introduction of

religion, but now we know the light

not all Yoruba people are fetish.

*Bride Price in Owo is the

Cheapest*

I am sure a lot of people will not

agree with me, but I will prove my

point, if you approach an Owo 

family to marry their daughter, you

are given a list based on the

preference of the family, it may be

high or low, then you can negotiate

on what you can afford to do, it can

cost you 100,000 to over a million,

depending on the family, now that

does not translate to being cheap.

And when you are marrying an Owo person, it is believed that a

marriage is between families, and all members of the family chip in

something to contribute to the

success of the marriage and not

heap all the load on the man marrying.

If you quantify all the amount spend

by both sides on the wedding, you

will agree with me is among the

costliest wedding in Nigeria.

*Owo Women do not stay in their huband's house* 

This is not true, Owo Women are iron ladies who stay with their husbands and support him to future of the families. They help their husbands to picture the future so that they can be in the future. However some Women left their husbands house due to domestic violence and some mother in-laws victimization.

*Owo Women/ girls/ ladies are commercial sex workers*

This is also another Misconceptions about Owo females. I did a visibility studies myself and I discovered that those ladies parading themselves at the express of Ikare junction, hotels and beer parlors are not an indigen of Owo. Some of them come from other states and towns while some of them were born and grow up here in Owo that is why you can hear them speaking Owo language fluently. An average Owo Women are cultured and not engaged in any act of prostitution.

*Owo ladies prefer dating Okada riders because of daily money given to them*

I will advise you to have a close interaction with these ladies . Owo Women do not date or marry because of money you will be giving to them everyday. They marry based on emotional gratifications

So there you have it, I am not here

to defend Owo people, because am from the town

it does not need defending, I feel  our females should not be judged on this misconceptions.

Please help Owo females to share this post to all social media so that people will know that Owo females are cultured.

Olowo Adeoye Ajike Atanneye II aka Atobatele.(28th Ologho - 1938-1940)

Following the death of Olagbegi I in 1938, seven candidates, five of whom were educated, contested the vacant throne. On March 12, 1938, the high chiefs confirmed the rumors that Prince Adeoye Ajike Atanneye was the successful candidate for Olowo. 

At O9:30am, the court hall was packed full of the town’s people and they continued to wait patiently for the arrival of the District Officer, Captain R. A. Vosper, who came in later at 10:20am. Immediately upon his arrival, Prince Adeoye Ajike Atanneye, who was waiting behind the Native Authority (NA) offices, came into the hall, accompanied by the high chiefs: Ojumu,Osere, Sashere and others. 

Chief Elerewe, whose duty it was traditionally to proclaim ‘Oke re ke’ meaning ‘Total Silence,’ in such a public forum, did so and the court hall,which was full of people to such an extent that the crowd spilled over into the streets outside the hall, fell into total silence. 

Chief Ojumu then stepped forward and held up Prince Adeoye Ajike’s hand, as custom demanded and introduced the successful candidate to the people of Owo. Chief Ojumu said that he had brought prince Adeoye Ajike out to be crowned as the next Olowo and enquired from the people whether or not they would own and serve him as their head, as Olowo. The concourse, amongst who were the representatives of all the other surrounding communities, towns and villages, quarter heads, the Omolowos, the high chiefs and the Ighare chiefs, unanimously answered three times, in the affirmative. 

Mr. Vosper, the District Officer (DO), then expressed his pleasure in having been fortunate to witness such an honorable session in the history of Owo. He stated that March 12, 1938 was a historic day for the people. He was told, he said, that Ajike was the successful candidate and he had been chosen to ascend the Owo throne and so had to be brought out that day for public confirmation. He said that he was pleased at the concurrence of the town’s people in electing Prince Adeoye Ajike the new Olowo. He had known Prince Adeoye Ajike, he continued, for only three years but once he had been able to watch him at close range, he had found him to be a kind and hard working man. He had a good character which was required of a modem Oba. Mr. Vosper concluded that Owo then ranked with the other neighboring towns with educated rulers.

On May 8, 1938, at 04:00pm, Ajike was installed the Olowo of Owo by His Honor, the Chief Commissioner, Mr. G.G. Shute in front of the Government School House in the presence of tens of thousands of people, representatives from the Oba of Benin, the Owa of Ilesha, the Deji of Akure, the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, the Osemawe of Ondo and many others.

Ajike was bom in 1889, the year his father, Atanneye I, came to the throne. He had his early elementary education in the African Baptist School, Owo. (Located at Chief Elerewe's compund,Ugboroko,quarter) but in 1903, he transferred to the newly opened Government School, Owo as one of the foundation pupils under the administration of the District Officer, Mr. Reginald Durries Napier Raikes and Inspector of education, Phillips, the last based at the Hope Waddell Institute, Calabar. In December 1907, at the annual prize giving day of the school, a gold edged bible was presented to him by his uncle, Olowo Ogunoye I, for good conduct.

During his school days, prince Adeoye Ajike was a keen and sober youth. Upon leaving school, he had worked as a clerk in a number of timber concessions in Siluko, Benin area and he did that for many years before he left with a good endorsement to the employ of the British Cotton Growing Association, (BCGA), Oshogbo. In 1919, at the inauguration of the Owo Native Administration, he was appointed the treasurer to the administration, a position in which he served for eighteen years without any blemish and with satisfaction to the British colonial administration before contesting the vacant stool of Olowo hence his nickname of ‘Atobatele,’ meaning: ‘One who has already attained the position of a king before becoming one

The new Olowo (Ajike Atanneye II) added one row to the three rows of beads for the high chiefs, making it four and gave the Ighares of Iloro quarter three rows of beads in appreciation of their role in the burial and coronation of the Olowo. 

The Ute road was constructed and the construction of many other roads soon followed. But things were changing, however, during the few years Adeoye Ajike Atanneye II was on the throne in Owo.

During his visit to Ibadan at the Obas’ Conference of 1939, Ajike Atanneye II is said to have gained great honor for his sound contributions to the debates at the meetings. However at the next Oba’s Conference in 1940, he could not attend the meetings because of indisposition and so he sent chiefs Ojumu Fadeyi and Sashere George Adetula to represent him. On August 22, 1940, Ajike Atanneye II died after reigning for only two years and six months. It was a great loss to Owo.

At Ijebu-Ode, on September 3, 1940, the Governor of the Western Provinces, Sir Bernard Bourdilon, made the following remarks to the 15th Conference of Yoruba Obas.

"Since the last meeting of the Conference, death has taken from us Atanneye II, the Olowo o f Owo, who, though had only held office for a short time, had proved himself a just ruler and wise councilor. I should take this opportunity of expressing to the people of Owo and to yourselves, my sympathy in your loss."

It is said that, in 1938, the Upele towns people feted the people of Owo kingdom for the entire three months’ stay of Olowo Ajike at Ushama because his mother hailed from Upele.

(Ushama is where a newly installed king reside for three months, learning the secrets and the administration of the kingdom, before proceeding to the palace.)
