Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria.

Nigerian born Chelsea player Dominic Solanke wants £50k per week after just 17mins of playing football
Dominic Ayodele "Dom" Solanke-Mitchell, a Nigerian born player currently on loan at Vitesse from Chelesa has told Chelsea that he will only commit his long term future to Chelsea if the club pay him £50,000 per week salary and promise him more game time with the first team according to reports by DailyMail.
Dominic's demands are outrageous due to the fact he has only played 17 minutes of competitive football for Chelsea's first team this season. A £50k salary will represent a ridiculous 600% increase on the 18 year old's current salary.
Solanke, who is spending the whole of this season on loan at Dutch outfit Vitesse, will walk away from Stamford Bridge as a free agent in the summer of 2017 if he does not extend his agreement.
Dominic Solanke is represented by his stepfather who is in talks with Chelsea. Solanke has represented England at under-16, under-17, and under-18 levels.
