BREAKING: Baba Ọba of Oyotunji Village Dies Suddenly Amid Controversy with New Alaafin of Oyo(GOV. SEYI MAKINDE)

  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.

Wow! World's Most Expensive Bottle Of Whisky Sells For $1.9 Million (Photo)


The most expensive bottle of whisky in the whole world has sold for an amazing $1.9 million at an auction.


According to a report by The Drinks Business, a bottle of 60-year-old 1926 Macallan has just been sold for a new world record price of £1.5 million (($1.9 million) by Sotheby’s in London.
The new record surpasses that set in London last year when Christie’s sold a bottle from the same cask for £1.2m.

Offered with a pre-sale estimate of £350,000-450,000 at Sotheby’s sale in London Olympia today (24 October), the final hammer price is almost three times higher than the initial valuation.

The whisky comes from the same cask #263 of Macallan that yielded the previous world record holders for a most expensive single bottle of spirit.

Distilled in 1926, when the whisky was 60 years old (in 1986) the cask yielded just 40 bottles. Twelve bottles were given a label designed by Italian artist Valerio Adami, 12 more were given a label by Peter Blake and two were sold and given private labels – including one by Irish artist Michael Dillon which was the bottle sold last November for £1.2m.

The remaining 14 bottles, including the one, sold today were given The Macallan’s ‘Fine and Rare’ label, making them the oldest iterations in the series.

Each of the varied bottlings from Cask #263 has now been, at one stage or another, the most expensive whiskies ever sold.
