Àkúrẹ (ObaAdesida) Oja oba #Oloyemekun

did you ever see anyone enter a hall and the Queen stand for them? Even in Nigeria, though our system differs, respect must still be given to whom it is due. We inherited our thrones from our forefathers—only death can remove us.

Awolowo questioned his audacity, to which the Deji responded with regal composure: > “Is it right for elder monarchs like the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adesoji Aderemi, or the Alaafin Ladigbolu to stand for you? When we studied law in London,

His calm refusal to stand caught everyone’s attention. Chief Awolowo, surprised by this act, inquired who the seated monarch was. The Deji replied firmly: > “I am the Deji of Akureland, Ademuagun Adesida II.”

From the Ondo Province, five Obas were in attendance: the Deji of Akure, Olowo of Owo, Osemawe of Ondo, Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, and Elekole of Ikole. As the Premier entered the chamber, all the Obas rose to their feet in respect—except Oba Ademuagun Adesida II, Ekun oko Eyesorun.

During his very first attendance at the House of Chiefs meeting, an unforgettable event occurred—one that would forever distinguish him as a monarch of courage and dignity. All traditional rulers from the Western Region were present, including the Premier,Chief Obafemi Awolowo

The First Oba Who Refused to Stand for a Governor in Nigeria Oba Ademuagun Adesida II was installed as the Deji of Akure on October 28, 1957. That same year, he was inducted into the Western House of Chiefs, popularly known as “Ipade L’Obaloba.”

The expressway is now open to commuters and other road users. The ultimate goal is to ensure the full completion of the project, allowing motorists to drive seamlessly from Akure to Irese and access communities on the other side of the main road without hindrance.

The placement of 30-metre-long prestressed beams across the flyover, as well as the junction improvement at the Onyearugbulem–Sagari/Irese Road intersection along the Ilesha–Akure Expressway, has been completed. Image and words : @OnigegeAra1
