A Lagos-based business mogul, Alhaji Sikiru Wahab Atanda, has been installed the Otunba of Iwoland.

Atanda, who is a prominent indigene of Iwo, was installed alongside his wife, Alhaja Aishat Wahab, as Yeye Otunba of Iwoland. 

Barrister Basiru Quadri was also installed the Ekaarun of Iwoland.

The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, enjoined recipients of the titles to channel their respective offices in complementing the efforts of the palace in facilitating anticipated developments to Iwoland.

Addressing the populace in his palace at the installation ceremony, Oba Akanbi stated that Iwo honorary titles are exclusive for people of modest character, saying the antecedents of recipients and prospective expectations from their pedigree earned them the title.

He charged the recipients to protect Iwo’s interest at all costs and device the privilege in attracting investors to Iwo and improving the standard of living of the people of the town.

The monarch expressed hope of maximum performance of the recipients in promoting Iwoland and her people, just as he cautioned them against betraying the palace.

In his remarks, the new Otunba of Iwoland, Chief Atanda, expressed gratitude to Oluwo for honouring him with the title.

Atanda assured Oluwo of his loyalty, promising to complement his aspiration to attaining a developed Iwo.

Iwo Chief Chides Ogundokun, Accuses Him Of Orchestrating Oluwo’s Removal

The Asiwaju Musulumi of Iwo, Alhaji Liadi Tella, has accused High Chief Abiola Ogundokun of orchestrating moves to remove the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi.

Tella, a veteran media practitioner also alleged Ogundokun of causing mayhem in Iwo, having failed in his several attempts to remove Oba Akanbi.

He declared that Ogundokun would not succeed in his alleged bid to dethrone Oluwo.

The former Director-General of the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC), who spoke in a chat with OSUN DEFENDER in Osogbo, stated that rather than plotting to remove Oba Akanbi, Ogundokun should look for means of settling whatever he has against the monarch.

Tella also said Iwo elites were not in support of Ogundokun, because he failed to use his influence to bring development to the town.

He said: “Ogundokun wants to pull down Oluwo at all costs. Ogundokun is not God and he cannot speak for Iwo elites. He is a destroyer of Iwo elites.

“He has been on the neck of Oluwo, orchestrating moves to remove him for personal reasons.

“If he has personal scores to settle with Oluwo, let him proceed and settle it. He should stop the blackmail, the lie-telling and the antagonism against the Oluwo. He should be aware that God enthrones kings and only He can remove them and I wonder why he has been making moves to have him removed. He has been causing mayhem in Iwo; having failed in his several attempts to remove Oluwo.

“He had the opportunity to the lead and develop Iwo, but he never did. He was the closest to the former Head of State, General Sani Abacha in Yorubaland. When local governments were being created, Ede that has less than the population of Iwo was given two additional local governments. Iwo did not get anything.

“Iwo till date remains the largest local government in the state, I want Ogundokun to point to one good thing he did for Iwo. I categorise him as the destroyer of Iwo progress. He should leave Oluwo alone, himself and his cohorts. No matter what he does on Oluwo, he will never succeed.”

Oluwo Kicks Against Family Planning, Says It Is An Eradication Of Race

By Sodiq Yusuf

Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has kicked against family planning, describing it as an attempt that could lead to eradication of a race.

Oba Akanbi warned that the countries enforcing family planning would soon be populated with foreigners as currently obtainable in Canada, because of low reproductive system.

He called on Nigerians to respect the dictates of God on procreation, saying that China which is the most populous nation, is gaining her technological relevance and world power through her human endowments.

Discrediting the insinuation of overpopulation as one of the factors for poverty, Oba Akanbi maintained that grace speaks than background in making a breakthrough in life.

Oluwo stated that the strength in population is weighty, saying the onus should be on government to provide enabling environment for all and sundry.

The monarch tasked the government to further improve the quality of both formal and technical education to enrich and promote brains needed for economic growth.

He said: “There is much more strength in procreation. We ignorantly related poverty to over population. If it were to be, China, by now should be the most affected nation by poverty. But no, China is the emerging world power, getting it very right.

“Few other powerful nations are getting it wrong for placing limit on childbearing years back.   75% of Canadians are made up of foreigners. In few years to come, the land may be controlled by foreigners.

“Aside this, the dictates of God on more procreation should be respected by individuals willing to bear more children. Grace is great. Having more children is not measurement of poverty. Many rose from grass to grace.

“Education is the key. China becomes powerful on their passion in technical education. The government should focus more on improving technical education. Education is as important as human blood.

“Basic education from primary to secondary should be free and made compulsory for everyone.  Higher education should be subsidized. This will encourage average pursuit of knowledge while technical trainings is also promoted. This is the strength of any developed nation.”

Oba Akanbi added: “The population of the northern states for years is an edge over other regions. There is need to harp on the quality of education and not putting embargo on the number of children.

“I thank the President for situating the Federal College of Education in Iwo which is the most populous town in the State of Osun. Iwo’s strength is her population and I will tell my subjects to say no to family planning as long as a responsible government is on hand. We were marginalised before, but the future is great for us through our strength in human resources.”
