More crisis between ONIBEREKO of IBEREKO KINGDOM & AKRAN. of BADAGRY.

According to ONIBEREKO, "Besides, is it possible for anyone to be installed as Baale of a community by a traditional ruler outside his immediate local government?

Itoga is within the Olorunda Local Council Development Area, not Badagry Local Government". 

“The truth is that there is a judgment against the Akran of Badagry, which prevents him from installing anyone as Baale of the community (Itoga).I have a copy of the judgment and it is even gazetted by the state government".

The traditional ruler of Itoga in Badagry area of Lagos State, Chief Suru Hoteyin Amosu, has petitioned the Lagos State office of Department of State Security Service (DSS), following alleged attempt to install a parallel monarch in his community.

In a petition, dated May 11, 2016, Chief Amosu claimed that the Onibereko of Ibereko in Olorunda LCDA, Oba Israel Ade Okoya, has been making surreptitious attempts to impose another monarch on his domain shortly after his installation by the Akran of Badagry.

The petition, tagged,” Impending breach of peace”, reads: “The Baale in-Council in the Badagry Local Government Area of Lagos State writes to draw your attention to an impending breach of public peace being orchestrated by Oba Israel Ade Okoya, the Onibereko of Ibereko, Badagry, to install yet another Baale of Toga community against the earlier approval order given by the Lagos State government through the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy , which instructed and directed both the Badagry Local Government Chieftaincy Committee and its chairman, His Royal Majesty, De Wheno Aholu Menu Toyi, the Akran of Badagry and both had performed the traditional and constitutional installation of Chief Suru Hoteyin Amosu as de facto Baale of Toga community on Wednesday April 13, 2016.

“The entire Toga community now lives in fear and apprehension as the news of a second Baale in same community is underway by the Onibereko of Ibereko, an Awori, who (is) poised to install an Egun Baale in a 100 per cent. This unconstitutional event was initially slated for Friday May 13, 2016 at the palace of Onibereko in Ibereko, Badagry. It took a court injunction to put him to a pause, and as usual he is likely to carry out this ‘unholy’ action… which may result in a serious public turmoil consequently leading to a breach of the peace.

It added: “Sir, this piece of information is offered to furnish your good offices for your immediate action so as to forestall breakdown of law and order. We are peace-loving people”.
However, in a telephone conversation with our correspondent, Oba Okoya denied knowledge of any plan to install a Baale in Itoga.

He explained that the matter has been taken to a state High Court in Badagry, adding that the affected community is not within the jurisdiction of Akran of Badagry, as a court judgment and a gazette by the state government had stripped him of such functions.
His words:” I am not planning to install anyone as Baale of the community; it is, however, important to say that their allegation that Akran of Badagry is the consenting authority over their community is not true.

“The truth is that there is a judgment against the Akran of Badagry, which prevents him from installing anyone as Baale of the community (Itoga).I have a copy of the judgment and it is even gazetted by the state government.
“Besides, is it possible for anyone to be installed as Baale of a community by a traditional ruler outside his immediate local government? Itoga is within the Olorunda Local Council Development Area, not Badagry Local Government. So, how can those who made these allegations justify their claim when their community is not in Badagry Local Government?

The entire member of Badagry Development  wishes the Royal Fathers a happy coronation day. Many more long, happy, successful, glorious years to reign over us...  

The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II has described the ancient shrine of Olokun in Ile IFE as one of the greatest mysteries of God

Ooni Ogunwusi accompanied by his beautiful queen Yeyeluwa Wuraola Ogunwusi stated this at the just concluded annual Olokun traditional festival held at the shrine located on Olokun street, Oke-Atan area of Ile-Ife globally accepted to be the cradle of Yoruba race.

He explained Olokun as one of the 401 deities sent by Olodumare to occupy the pre-genesis esoteric world and Oduduwa’s stupendously rich wife was and still remains the goddess of the ocean that must be showcased to the world for the establishment of truth about the creation of mankind and tourist-economic potentials.

“in the beginning before the creation of man, God had sent 401 of his angels with different assignments unto the earth to form the very first society called pre-genesis world also known as IFE OODAYE.
Olokun was among the angels who are today Yoruba across the world, she was assigned to function as the goddess of the sea, she lived both spiritually and physically as a very wealthy wife of Oduduwa who was the god of prayers. God created both the heaven and the earth which included the oceans in His mysterious way, the ocean as one of His greatest mystery, which is the revelation of His spirit via “Olokun” which literarily means “the one who owns the sea” or the “goddess of the sea”.

Ooni Ogunwusi also said that God almighty left different signs in Ile-Ife to confirm our belief that the town is the source of all creation with the Olokun shrine where the mysterious Olokun well is located from where she transformed into the Oceans as one of the esoteric sings we see today that must be globally celebrated.
He identified Olokun as very beautiful, hardworking, rich, generous and famous that she was always adorned in precious stones and ornaments during her time as a physical being on earth. He cited the precious stones and ornaments still being discovered in the seas today as part of the various

ornaments she owned while physically on earth.

The event also witnessed by all the kingmakers and other Chiefs was climaxed with the special prayers offered by the Monarch and his wife by the side of the mysterious WELL for peace, and progress of Ife and the black race to the admiration thousands of people in attendance at the festival.
