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.

’ If You Marry From A Humble Background They Will Say You Are Classless', Actress Toyin Abraham Laments
Ahead of 2022, Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has issued friendly advice and a reminder to her fans and colleagues.
In the lengthy post shared on her Instagram page, Toyin Abraham said people should learn to be themselves and do what makes them happy.
According to Toyin Abraham, life is as dicey as it can get, and people will always have something to say regardless of anything.
She wrote: Hey guys.. I know a lot of people will be listing their new year resolutions. However, I just want to drop a friendly reminder as we go into the new year.
Whatever you do, DO YOU!!
Do what makes you happy. Help people, support people, come through when you are needed, go where you are wanted, do everything you want to do because at the end of the day, you will be alone in the grave and no one will go in the grave with you.
Because life is as dicey as it can get and people will always have something to say regardless.
If you are being supportive they will say you are famzing or you are everywhere. If you do not show up, they will say you don’t want to see people grow.
If you are invited to an event and you go they will say you are too accessible, if you don’t, you are not a good person.
If you marry from a humble background they will say you are classless and married low, if you marry someone rich you will be called a gold digger.
If you marry someone you are older than they say you just want to be in control, if you marry someone older than you, they question if you truly love this person and come up with ridiculous scenarios..
If you post what you have, they say you are showing off, if you don’t they call you poor
If you try to be real, they call you razz or local, if you act classy, they call you fake.
If you are taking care of your skin, they say you are bleaching, if you don’t they call you dirty and start to compare you to another.
If you say something on social media, they say you are talking to someone if you don’t they call you boring.
At the end of the day just choose yourself and do you. People will always talk. Learn to also let people be themselves. Stop the entitlement and stop reading meanings to everything. It’s really not that deep and we can always just let people be and breathe.
Happy new year in Advance
