UNBREAKABLE AWORI HERITAGE:
The Olumegbon Royal Family –
Eternal Custodians of Ajah

The Olumegbon Royal Family, the firstborn and cherished child of Olofin Atekooye, stands as the eternal Awori overlord of Ajah, Okun-Ajah, and environs, a legacy forged over 800 years since Olofin’s migration from Ile-Ife in the 10th to 11th century. The 1921 Privy Council Judgment and Supreme Court rulings affirm their unbreakable communal land rights, shattering the "no man’s land" lie. All Idejo chiefs, including Olumegbon, are Awori and must never be disrespected—their heritage is sacred and everlasting. Contemporary attempts to bully the Olumegbons only strengthen their resolve. Below are their domains and the truth of their reign:

Olumegbon Royal Family – Unshakable Awori Overlords:
• Territory: Rules Ajah, Okun-Ajah, and environs—including Olokonla, Aiyetoro, Oko-Egbe, Ibamo, Esanmi Olori, Olori Mamu, Oko-Elemu, Agunbiade, Baba Sale, Ope, Ajiwe, Alasia, Asoko, Isale-Ijebu, and Ajah Ile (capital)—as confirmed by Supreme Court Judgment (SC.148/1997, 09/12/2002).
• History: Founded over 800 years ago by the first Chief Olumegbon, a direct descendant of Olofin, who migrated from Ile-Ife and granted land to others as customary tenants under Yoruba law.
• Leadership: As head of the Idejo White Cap Chiefs, Olumegbon installs all Baales, presides over the Ajah Management Committee, and serves as a kingmaker to the Oba of Lagos.
• Legal Backing: Terms of Settlement (12/02/1991, LD/21/1987) and Certificates of Occupancy (1996-2017) uphold their overlordship.
• Contemporary Bullying: Faces unjust 2025 attempts by impostors and government actions to undermine their rule, like the disputed enthronement and Ajah protests, yet their rights prevail ([Lagos Panorama, 2025](lagospanorama.com/in-defiance-of…), [Tribune Online, 2025](tribuneonlineng.com/ajah-residents…)).

Other Idejo Chiefs – United Awori Landowners:
• Oloto: Owns Iddo and parts of Lagos Mainland (e.g., Oto-Awori, Iwaya), a proud Awori domain.
• Aromire: Owns Old Ikoyi, including Aromire Road, an Awori cultural hub.
• Onitana: Owns Lagos Island, near Aromire, a key Awori territory.
• Elegushi: Owns Ikate, Lekki, Elegushi Beach, Ojota, Osapa, led by an Oba.
• Onitolo: Owns Ebute Meta West, Ipaja, Surulere, an enduring Awori land.
• Onikoyi: Owns Ikoyi, a thriving Awori area.
• Ojora: Owns Ijora, an Awori stronghold with court-backed rights.
• Oniru: Owns Victoria Island, parts of Lekki, led by an Oba.
• Oluwa: Owns Apapa Peninsula, affirmed by historical rulings.
• Onisiwo: Owns Tomaro, Abagbo, Tarkwa Bay, Agbagbo, Itomaro, an Awori coastal domain.

Note: The Olumegbon, as Olofin’s firstborn, and all Idejo chiefs are Awori landowners forever. The "no man’s land" falsehood is crushed by their 800-year legacy, backed by courts and Omo Eko Pataki’s advocacy. Bullying the Olumegbons—through false claims or evictions—only honors their unbreakable spirit. Disrespecting any Idejo attacks Awori pride and will not be tolerated. Let the world know: they are Awori, and their land is theirs eternally!

Awori Omo Olofin kitiigbe ooo ! Omo Oluwehun e mooo !

OONI SHOULD KEEP US MOVING FORWARD!

I almost wanted to title this piece as 'ALAAFIN, DETERMINED TO DRAW US BACK' but I have discovered that all those surrounding the revered king do not want peace and progress for descendants of Oduduwa worldwide ('Ka ro ojiire or better still Lukumi). So, I would rather concentrate on real matters and leave negative blogging. The word Yorubas that we are presently called is an aberrational name popularised by the descendants of the Sango link through his mother side(Tapa). Only a bastard child will insist on taking the glories from his mother side and forget the lineage of his father. Let me leave this matter for a future discourse. I will use the word 'Yorubawa' in this message for easy understanding.

It will be 10 years this year that Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II 'climbed the throne of his forebears. In his first year, Ooni Ogunwusi brokered peace across the length and breath of 'Yorubalands' by going out of his way to visit every first class King across the length and breath of the expansive kingdoms. His surprise visit to Baba Ana (Alaafin Adeyemi) left an indelible mark in the heart of the revered King who was a connoisseur of 'Yoruba' history. Ooni Ogunwusi's effort was what a Royal committee could not do for over 10years. It only needed a humble young leader to do it. The attempt by Ooni for his surprise visit to the Alaafin would have been stopped at that time if the Arole Oduduwa had announced his plan, but up until they entered the ancient town, even his closest aides were not aware of his planned surprise visit. He decided, made the trip and today, that history remains indelible. That is one. thing that the present Alaafin is missing. A mind of his own.

I have sat in close meetings with the Ooni and believe me, there are certain very annoying decisions that should have been made and the way Kabiyesi will humbly put it aside has a way of calming frayed nerves. There was one very annoying one big was involved as a media expert. A blogging outfit had gone to town about the Ooni being stuck in a lift. Some of our colleagues had called me and I wanted the blogger blocked from visiting the palace again. Kabiyesi just laughed and and said 'Williams, don't you know this young people make money from the clicks they get? Leave them jo'. He emphasised that the Palace belongs to all and we must welcome them. And we all laughed over it. Believe me, the young man later followed us on the Ooni's historical visit to Brazil.

There are so much i have to say about this new spirituality which will come out in my books on my 60th birthday. But the point I am making here right now is to advice the handlers of the new Alaafin to stop this 'charade' they are embarking on. Posting rude and senseless threats against the throne of the Ooni will not fetch them any respect other than a few clicks and some money in their pockets.. But they would have left a negative vibe that even their children's children will not be able to handle. This Ooni apart from being the Arole Oduduwa, and the father of all descendants of Oduduwa (including Oranmiyan), will finish you with his humility any day. His gait is outstanding, his resplendence is brilliant, his stature is over the moon and the respect he personally gives everyone is just too humbling. As a PR expert, if giving both the Alaafin and Ooni to work on, the contents that will be generated from the present Ooni is positively mind blowing.

Things have really changed and the new Alaafin needs to understand this. He should not work to take us back. How do we create more jobs? how do we bring more peace? How do we make life better for our people? How do we secure the lives of our people? And how do we just move positively and collectively as one people should be the concerns of our Royal fathers especially the Alaafin who is determined to draw us back.

Those of you going all out, picking news items of a supreme Court Judgement on a case Between the two former revered fathers should learn from the words of Baba Ijebu, Odole Oduduwa, Baba Kensington. The moment he was giving the title by Ooni Ogunwusi, he announced that the title is the Hallmark title of his life. He will not take any titled again. Now, for those who really are in search of a traditional title, who will dare compare a title from the Oduduwa stool to that called '....of Yorubawaland'?

Please, let us all rein in this brewing disturbance and get a proper move on

Oodua a gbe wa ooooooo!

OORE OF MOBA DEBUNKS ALLEGED CONFERMENT OF OKANLOMO OF YORUBA LAND CHIEFTAINCY TITLE SAYS OONI'S ROYAL TERRITORIES STEM BEYOND YORUBALAND

The attention of the Adimula Oloore Oodua, His Royal Majesty, Oba Adekunle Adeagbo, the Oore of Otun-Ekiti and paramount ruler of Mobaland House of on the media attack by the Alaafin's palace on the House of Odùduwà, which transcends beyond the shores of Yorubaland into the wider African space, cutting across the Itsekiri in Delta State, Benin Kingdom, Ga tribe in Accra Ghana, Ashante Kingdom of Kumasi, Ghana as well as the LUO tribe in Uganda, Ga-Adangbe tribe in Ghana, and many more, in which the Arole Odùduwà Olofin Adimula, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, D.Litt, CFR, Ojaja II, that Ooni does not have the power to confer the title of Okanlomo of Yorubaland.

For the avoidance of doubt, Ooni has never conceived it, talk less of installing anybody as the Okanlomo of Yorubaland. We therefore challenge anyone with verifiable evidence that Ooni has traditionally or culturally installed such a title on anyone to present it to the public.

It is important to note that as the Natural Father of the Yoruba race and spiritual head of Odùduwà race worldwide, the Ooni wields unequivocal authority to bestow titles of territorial relevance if and when necessary. However, His Majesty’s vision and preoccupation are far greater than minor chieftaincy titles. His focus rests on the larger task of unifying our people across Nigeria and Africa who trace their origin to Ilé-Ifẹ̀ for peace, progress, and development that far transcend such narrow contestations.

Since ascending the throne of Odùduwà, Ooni has carried out only three official territorial chieftaincy installations namely; The Odole Oodua, Iyalaje OODUA and Yeye Oodua all deeply rooted in spiritual and ancestral imperatives, which Baba Ooni had bestowed on Sir Dr Adebutu Kensington, Princess Dr Toyin KOLADE and Erelu Abiola Dosumu respectively.

Our father Ooni, revered not merely as a king but as a deity across the Oduduwa race of which Yoruba is a notable section, does not distribute titles frivolously.Apart from the proposed Ojaja Smart City, Ibadan, the biggest in Africa which will provide not less than 20000 jobs, Ooni has already established Inagbe Grand Resort in Lagos, Ife Grand Resort and Industrial Hub in Ile-Ife, Ojaja University in Ilorin, Kwara state, Ojajamoore and Ojaja Park and Hotels in Akure, OjajaMoore in Ede, Ile-Ife and Osogbo in Osun creating over 5000 direct jobs for Yoruba youths. He is also constructing a massive Ojaja Park in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state. That is leadership.

We must put a clear end to the fruitless struggle for emperorship ; an idea long eroded by constitutional democracy. Where are the great empires of Shongai, Mali of Mansa Musa, Roman empires, Othman empires and others today? Those eras of conquering territories through invasion by gorrilarism are gone. If anyone must wage war over territorial rights, let it be with collonialists who had taken the absolute powers of monarchies and emperors and replaced it with what they called constitutional governments not only in Nigeria but globally and not with Oonirìnsà, who has always stood for unity and progress.

The descendants of Oduduwa home and in diaspora know their natural father and they know where they all migrated from; hence, there is no contestation over Ooni’s place as the Arole Odùduwà. Leadership is never by forceful enthronement nor by empty threats, but by service, wisdom, and natural acceptability. Look at the way Ooni travels around the showcasing the Africanist substance, she how he creates businesses scattered across Yorubaland providing jobs for our youths. That is leadership!

We advise the public and right thinking members of society to demand clarity on the referenced Supreme Court judgment being mischievously cited, to know exactly who and what it referred to, so as not to rope Ooni into matters that have no bearing on his sacred stool. Or doesn't he have the right to appoint Dotun Sanusi as Okanlomo Oodua?

In this 21st century where royal fathers across the world are strategizing on how to attract investments, foster unity, and build sustainable development in their domains, reducing the sacred institution of kingship to petty quarrels over minor titles is not and will never be on Ooni’s table. He is well above that.

The House of Odùduwà remains committed to peace, unity, and prosperity across Yorubaland and beyond.
