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. The palace in Oyo recently denied that s...

When she says she has been a victim, can she elaborate more? “Yes. I have been a victim. I once had a disagreement with this my friend. We had to exchange words on social media. We actually used the Whatsapp to exchange words. And then this particular group then feasted on some of the things I said back to my self. Then they made me a victim, and they started bullying me, saying stuff back at me, because I fought my friend that I had a disagreement with. we had to exchange words on Whatsapp. After that, this group of people, came after me, bullying me, trying to silence me, not to talk back. Suddenly they started writing bad things about me, appalling things about me, things that never happened in my life. They said my mum was bullying some people in London, some people in America. In the first place, I don’t have a Mama. My mama has been late since 2010. So, I was wondering why somebody will lie so much like this, that it was my mum that was talking on my behalf. So, I had to reply. I had to ask what’s happening? I don’t know you. Why are you mentioning me? Why are you mentioning my mum? I don’t have a mum. Then they began to blackmail me; they said they won’t stop harassing me. They actually sent a message in my inbox. They said they will continue to tell the whole world that I have done something silly to my friend. What happened between us is private. We are both friends, I see no reason why anybody should take that as personal. I told them to stop. They refused to stop.” “That was what led me to set up this group called “No Cyber Bullying Thing On Social Media” Just to fight back. I later realized that it wasn’t me alone they were doing it too. They actually have some victims in the past that they had been bullying. “But all that is history now as they have both buried the hatchet and come to terms with each other. Those who know the 2 women, especially on social media will surely know they are both hot items.
