A General, Divested of his Glamour, (Iku bolaje) by Wale Osiyemi Jr.

 

Late Otunba Subomi Balogun was too magnificent. Effizy extraordinaire. Exhumed Panaché. Allure and splendour are just a few words to describe an absolute classic man who upgraded the bar on how tradition and customs should be and it’s carriage thereof. An ijebu Giant of the banking industry, Olori Omoba who had his very own butler like a king. 

An epitome of Ijebu aristocracy, Ijebu has truly lost a bright sparkling WHITE colour at the Ojude Oba FESTIVAL and as a people in general, a huge shoe for anyone else to step into. 

I am still getting to terms with the transition of the late Dagburewe and now Olori Omoba, another major blow to the court of the Awujale. 

The only one who had clearance to drive his white Rolce Royce into the palace yard and park next to kabiyesis car, further adorning the palace car park of the wealth Ijebu has to offer. 

 

Kekere ijebu, Agba ijebu … owo ni !!!

The dove 🕊 has taken flight. 

RIP BABA, an icon of his time.
