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.

Nollywood actor Gabriel Afolayan has shared a deep message analysing the adage about waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel.
Gabriel Afolayan shared dapper photos of himself on his Instagram page, explaining why he no longer agrees with the saying.
He noted that waiting for the light at the end of a tunnel is wrong when one can have a light throughout the tunnel.
He admonished for light and enjoyment through the process of getting to the end of the tunnel.
He also shared his thoughts about all tunnels not having light at the end, thus urging people to do away with the saying and work harder.
“Stepping away from metaphor, Light at the end of the tunnel? The fVck do I need a light at the end of a tunnel for? No, get that light inside the tunnel. Abeg Abi na end of the tunnel, I go follow to reach the end of the tunnel ?
So let there be light (enjoyment) through the process (tunnel/work) of getting to the end of the tunnel.
Better put, it should be that there is light at the end of a dark tunnel, which is not true in itself literarily because the end of a dark tunnel can also be as dark as dark. FOH e fi Awon owe yi lorun le ke mu ise se loju pali.”
Recall that in 2022, anonymous Instagram blogger Gistlovers announced that Gabriel had welcomed twins with another woman while still married. According to the controversial blog, his wife had dragged him to court to make him sign the divorce papers so she could be free.
Elaborating on it, Journalist Kemi Olunloyo claimed that the actor was refusing to sign divorce papers with his wife.
The actor confirmed the reports in October as he celebrated the twins’ birthday. Sharing a photo of his twins and their mother, Gabriel penned a note to them, describing them as an entire crew.
