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.

The Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo is presently receiving all the accolades for engineering the reunion of actors Iyabo Ojo and Fathia Balogun.
Esabod Global Filani reports that MC Oluomo with the help of actor Olaiya Igwe brought the two actresses, Iyabo Ojo and Faithia Balogun, who have been at loggerheads for over two years now, under a roof to iron out the faults and let peace reign.
Sources say the reconciliation took a few hours as both parties aired out their grievances at each other and then rounded up with sincere apologies.
It will be recalled that Iyabo Ojo and Fathia Balogun fell apart after Faithia reportedly leaked how Iyabo Ojo almost lost her life over surgery.
As a result, actress Iyabo Ojo called out Faithia Williams on her 51st birthday and tagged her as a witch.
Some months later, many thought the actresses were back together after Fathia posted a condolence message on Instagram when Iyabo Ojo lost her mum.
Fans hailed Faithia’s move and hoped for a neutral ground to end all transgressions will be made until she deleted the condolence post after Iyabo Ojo failed to acknowledge the condolence message.
