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. In a widely circulated voice recording, the deceased recounted how what was meant to be a simple homage turned violent. Although the Baba Ọba had reportedly battled ill health in the past year, growing insinuations suggest that the alleged physical assault may have aggravated his condition, ultimately leading to his untimely death.

Mum finds her kids' secret step-by-step plan to convince her to buy them a puppy and it's absolutely brilliant
An 8-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister wanted a puppy so bad and couldn't take no for an answer, so they came up with a secret, cunning ten-step plan to convince their parents to buy them one.
William and Scarlett wrote down their plan but made the mistake of leaving it where their mum could find it. Their author mum Emma Robinson discovered the list on their kitchen table and was extremely entertained by some of the ideas.
Their plan reads:
- Do all chores
- Give compliments
- Drop in random facts
- Post cute pictures of dogs
- Put on Christmas list
- Trade in a sibling
- Say that I'll get more fit
- Put cute pictures around the house
- Who's the sucker?
- Make a music video.
The younger child, Scarlett, included one more step at the bottom which reads: "Ask. Please, can we have a dog?"
Emma, the author of The Undercover Mother, was pretty amused by her children's list and shared it online.
She later told Mirror Online: "At first I thought it was his birthday list because his birthday is soon. As I read through, I was laughing and laughing.
"They have been relentless in begging for a dog. My mum got a dog two years ago and it started then, but they have really picked up the pressure in the last six months.
"I asked William's permission to postcard the photo and he didn't mind.
"Scarlett, on the other hand, was really cross that I'd seen it because it was supposed to be a secret plan.
After reading the plan, Emma realized her kids had already put the plan in motion as they had already been giving a lot of compliments. ??????Whether or not the kids will get a puppy is still unknown as Emma and her husband Dan are still making the final decision.
