 Afe Babalola, an exceptional nation builder par excellence - Iyalaje Oodua

.

The founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti,  Aare Afe Babalola has been described as an  exceptional nation-builder par excellence whose contributions to the growth of Nigeria can never be estimated 

The Iyalaje Oodua, Princess Dr Toyin  Kolade made this assertion in Ado Ekiti, during g a brief chat with journalists at the conferment of Doctorate Degree, Honoria Causa of the Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti on the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunsusi.

Iyalaje Oodua said ' Although apolitical soul, Baba Afe has distinguished himself from the cartel of statesmen who accomplished their statesmanship via politics and military prowess. No. Baba Afe, garnered his mark of statesmanship via hard work, diligence at the Legal profession, brilliant contribution and initiation of public discourse which have shaped governance, his inestimable and uncountable humanitarian gestures, agrarian commitment to the promotion, advancement and planting of sustainable educational, medical and agricultural platforms for inter-generational benefits. ' 

Iyalaje Oodua pointed out ' He is one Nigerian who has also steer clear of tribalistic tendencies .his acts, deeds and networking are characterised by nationalistic flavour and fervour. '

Iyalaje Oodua said ' I took a cursory look at the mammoth of distinguished guests in this hall today at this auspicious occasion and I can only see the constellation of Nigerians from North, East, South and West. This is a testimony of the nationalistic and pan- Nigeria attitude of Baba Afe Babalola' 

Iyalaje Oodua who  congratulated Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunsusi, Ojaja II  on the conferment of Doctorate Degree, Honoris Causa on him by Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti and by Aare Afe Babalola himself which he described as a " spectacular act which will remain evergreen in the mental banks of every one of us who were witnesses of this glorious day in Ado Ekiti' 

Iyalaje Oodua disclosed that " I sneaked out of the hall and took a quick tour of the University, the Hospital and the Industrial Park and I marvelled at the imperishable work of a single soul who rose from the grass to an enviable grace. Long live Baba Afe, Long Live Ooni Ojaja II' 

OMG! See what Ojo- Lanre did after daughter's wedding

Read what Iyalaje Oodua did wrong !

Why  Iyalaje Oodua will rot in jail 

Yes,

Who is she?

Toyin Kolade or what is her name?

She will rot in jail 

The so-called Iyalaje Oodua

By the time we finish with her 

You will be sorry for her 

What is so special. about her?

A daughter of nobody? 

Who is her mother?

Who is her father?

Where is she from? 

Whose granddaughter is she?

Is she from?                     Lagos?

Is her father a powerful politician?

Who moulded her head that fits the Iyalaje's title where our sister, the adopted daughter of the great politician is carrying a lesser title?

What is her grandmother's pedigree in trading?

Even if her grandmother has ever engaged in trading, that must be in their local town of Ilesha, that Osun state.

Has her mother's mother, ever traded in Lagos?

Look at her 

A daughter of nobody 

Who only God just blessed her handiwork 

But should that qualify her to be somebody who is not only a local trader but an intercontinental merchant?

And to cap it all 

Our revered king of the source 

Consulted the oracle 

And the oracle selected her 

And was crowned Iyalaje 

Not just of a city or town or village in Yorubaland 

But of the whole Oodua global which includes those in diaspora!

Which made her the Lady Supreme Commander of  Market and Merchandizing overall markets in Oodua land both home and in diaspora!

But it seems you don't understand what this means 

It means she is the spiritual head and   ordained leader of all the Iyalojas and Iyalajes in Yoruba land 

Why should she be the one?

A lady whose none of her relations has been a Governor in Nigeria before?

A woman whose father has not been a leader of a political party 

A mere lady trader whose father does not own Lagos 

How can the Ooni make a  woman who is just a workaholic, hardworking, diligent, legit  and focussed but of no significant parentage as the head of  the 

 iyalojas and iyalajes of Yoruba land?

We will do everything to pull her down 

We would use state apparatus to destroy her 

We shall employ the connection of our powerful father in politics to ruin her name

We shall engage the Editors of all the newspapers where our father has the interest to write fake and libellous articles against that lady called Toyin Kolade, for being a daughter of nobody but made the Iyalaje Oodua, 

What kind of nonsense is that 

Look, she has not seen and read anything yet.

Just yesterday, we sent a lie against her in one of our father's newspapers 

The lie went viral 

We deliberately twisted a police invitation to read that she was involved in a fraud 

She has not seen anything yet 

We shall do more wreak on her image and truncated her business interest 

Just because she is a daughter of nobody who God raised through hard work and tenacity of purpose to be made Iyalaje, a title which should be reserved for an adopted daughter of a jack can ban anybody money miss road father.

Walai, we shall not rest our malicious, evil  and mischievous oars until that grass to grace, a hardworking, purposeful girl called Toyin Kolade who is the iyalaje Oodua rot in jail just for being the daughter of nobody who became Iyalaje Oodua a title higher than the one which our sister who is a daughter of the mighty bears .

Signed

Wale Ojo - Lanre
