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.

In early September 2021, Taiwo Aromokun, a former actress and lover of actor Odunlade Adekola buried her mum in Ikorodu, Lagos and the occasion was graced by a few of her colleagues including Jaiye Kuti, Remi Surutu, Biola Bayo and Eniola Ajao.
Esabod News recalls that Taiwo Aromokun, a former popular actress, lover of actor Odunlade Adekola and single mum of twins who has been based abroad for years now quit social media years ago and also ensured that she has nothing to do with any of her colleagues; hence reason why just a few of them honored the burial invitation.

Before relocating abroad, Taiwo Aromokun granted an interview to a national newspaper and declared that she and Odunlade were lovers!
That was 2012 and Odunlade was still a ‘happily married man’ of two kids. Taiwo didn’t spare words in detailing what transpired in their relationship. She disclosed, “I am very blunt and God-fearing. I actually went out on a date with Odunlade Adekola. I will not deny it. But we are no longer dating each other. We are just friends now. In fact, we will remain just friends for the rest of our lives. We are still close,” she said in parts.
On why they broke up, Taiwo revealed that, “We broke up for a personal reason. I wanted to move on with my life. Odun was married with two adorable sons and he was not ready to take a second wife. So there was no point in continuing the relationship. I would have married him if he had asked me. Despite the fact that we are no longer lovers, we still communicate with each other.”
Well, Taiwo moved on with her life after the interview, got married to a guy living in Holland, who claimed to be head-over-heels-in love with her. However, the marriage, which held in Lagos was short-lived.
A bitter divorce ensued, the buxom actress turned a single parents and she was faced with taking care of her twin boys—Jade and Jasmine.
Now living abroad, she went off social media after her twin sister, Kehinde got married.
After Kehinde’s wedding, Taiwo went off social media. Though in 2018 she kept posting photos of her colleagues who were celebrating their birthdays, the last time she posted was in August 2018.
Now she doesn’t even post anything about her colleagues, be it birthdays or events as she has completely disappeared from the scene.
