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.

Esabod Global News recalls Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo’s ex-fiancee, Fancy Acholonu, had recounted a fatal accident which almost claimed her life.
Noting how she isn’t the type to publicly share her struggles often because she gets nervous about being open and vulnerable, she stated that she was working on overcoming that at her own pace.
Fancy disclosed that she had a tough year, and she knows we all go through things but sometimes sharing can help someone else realise nobody’s life is perfect, so we should be grateful for what we have and embrace every moment.
Opening up, Fancy Acholonu revealed that she was involved in a car accident.
She was driving home from work on the freeway, and someone crashed into her. She fell into consciousness, and when she woke up, she was in an ambulance.
For her, the experience made her reflect on life and how short it is.
“I was in a bad car accident a few months ago, and as my birthday is approaching, I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection on my life. I was driving home from work on the freeway, and someone crashed into me. When I gained consciousness in the ambulance, I thought to myself, wow, is this how I would leave this earth? Just like that? At that moment, I realised that life is short, precious and beyond unpredictable. It can be taken away from you in an instant. I’m not someone who publicly shares my struggles. Often I get nervous being open and vulnerable, but I am working on that at my own pace. I’ve had a pretty traumatic year, and I know we all go through things, but sometimes sharing can help someone else realise nobody’s life is perfect, so we should be grateful for what we have and embrace every moment. Thankfully with the best doctors and physical therapists, I’m healing through it all, but the trauma of the collision has caused me severe anxiety. I thank God for my life; it’s the most precious gift”.
