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.

Two years, 77 year old Prophet Samuel Kayode Abiara, the retired General Evangelist Worldwide of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) took a new wife after the death of his previous wife.
In this chat with the Nation, the Prophet speaks on finding love again, having kids and more.
Gushing about his new wife, Prophet Abiara said “I feel so good. You can see me. The woman takes good care of me. She is a woman God gave me. She is a good woman. She takes care of me. She has respect for me; she has respect for all my children. All my children love her so much and they take care of her. I enjoy her company. She is like my former wife. I thank God Almighty for giving me a woman like her. Most female pastors do not remarry after losing their partners. But that is not the case with male pastors…It is their choice. I think many female pastors prefer not to marry because they want to take care of their children, and you cannot blame them. But if they decide to marry, it is not a bad thing, because it is in the Bible. Those who want to marry them get married; it is their own choice. And those who do not want to marry, it is their choice”.When asked if he will have kids with her, he responded saying “Will you help me to take care of them? But if God gives me two or three sets of twins because of this lady who is taking good care of me, I will praise God and the whole world will rejoice with me, and you journalists will join me in celebrating. It will be news all over the world that I have twins again. I dey kampe.”
