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.

Twitter Influencer, Sally Suleiman who was a classmate of Blossom Chukwujewu’s new wife, Winifred Akhuemokhan Ehinome has now spoken in her defence following the heavy backlash against her body size from some Nigerians.
Esabod Global News recalls that in reaction to the first photos of the couple which found their way into the internet space, some Instagram users wondered why Blossom would leave Maureen his estranged wife, for a woman who looked older than him.
Some described her as an ‘old aunty’ who was forced on Blossom. Another said she is ugly and not as beautiful as Maureen.
Now defending the new bride, Twitter influencer, Sally Suleman in a social media post disclosed that Ehinome is just 33.
Sally Suleman wrote “It is such a shame that people are body shaming Blossom Chukwujekwu’s wife on Instagram. I attended the same secondary school as Ehinome and she is a wonderful woman, she is always been a woman of God.
It is better to marry an Ehinome than a woman who twerks on Instagram. If Ehinome is too old, she is no more than 33 years and is 33 years old? Must she have society’s definition of beauty? I am shocked at all the comments I have read.
Ehinome is a wonderful woman, well reserved, educated, polished and a God-fearing woman (a pastor). To be honest I dont care whether a woman twerks on social media, it is her choice and it doesn’t make her a bad person, my choice of words here is used because of the body-shaming on Blossom’s wife, for every gbas, expect a gbos.”
