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.

“Daddy Freeze was to later straighten ME out on the business side of life, teaching me how to make my skills marketable, and not keep “paying my dues” all my lifetime! He was then hosting the Coca-cola Millionaire Show on TV .After I left Cool Fm, I saw snippets of Daddy Freeze and the FreeNation Movement, and the Free the Sheeple Movement, and I was happy for him. I was unsettled when I saw his post about his ‘partner’ – meaning the rumours of his marriage break-up were true. Greater was my shock when he posted his pictures after being “battered”, as in domestic abuse while still married. Counter accusations kept flying (my ex-wife travelled out of the country with my kids without my knowledge). I couldn’t help but wander – what role did their church play in preventing all this.
”Also, what was the role the couple themselves played? I’ve noticed that a lot of times when couples see that there is ‘fire on the mountain’, they seem to choose to keep feigning that all is well, rather than reaching out early for Godly counsel. Their first thoughts are to “please” society and ‘keep’ the marriage; but they do nothing new whatsoever, towards the ‘keeping.’ I am not ‘active’ on social media and so I missed a whole lot – but a certain man came out very publicly to announce that his wife was living illegally with Freeze, even while legally married to him! I was totally shaken, and reading further, I saw that the man said his wife had left their base in Port Harcourt and had relocated with their 4 children to Lagos. She had sued him for divorce and was living with Daddy Freeze!
“I am sad with myself I adjudged this as personal, and kept completely quiet. But now that my newsapp bombards me with Freeze reacts to …. Freeze reacts to…. every single time, I feel I have to speak to him, IN LOVE, and as a friend. From all responses I have seen, Daddy Freeze brooks no contrary opinion. But as one who knows him, I can also speak what’s true to him. I suppose I could get his personal contacts for a one – on – one. But then that will rob a lot of people of knowledge, people who react based ONLY on what they read, who do not have the benefit of the true picture of Daddy Freeze I have painted. Many more people could benefit from this.
