The Oba of Lagos confessional
Seventeen years or so later, Oba Akiolu has apparent had an epiphany and a cathartic moment, and now he wants to name and shame other royal fathers.
HRH wants to name the compromised monarchs because…well…, let’s hear it from Kabiyesi himself:
“There are some monarchs that I personally took their own share to and they collected it from me. I have their names and when the time comes, I will expose them. I am not afraid of anybody. They are corrupt and those are some of the bad eggs in the traditional institution. These are the people, you (the Emir of Kano) should be very careful of associating with.”
And there you have it. All of this might even lead to a stratification of sorts of royal fathers in the Southwest – not necessarily a bad thing.
It would appear Oba Akiolu has been less than delighted for a while that he has to share the same platform with some very naughty monarchs. This is understandable, and, frankly, so should he be.
I know that one or two of you out there might think that Kabiyesi has a case to answer too. After all, he ferried the bribe monies to the various hitherto innocent monarchs; and, as a self-respecting Police Commissioner, possibly took a littl

Oba Akiolu Plans 75th Birthday
The frills of fortune, treats of conceit and the law of power may be accumulated without end in royal circuits. A taste for them increases as it they are gratified, particularly within the domain of a covetous monarch. More than a decade after he became the Paramount Ruler of Lagos and the chairman, Lagos State Council of Obas, the activism and vociferous streak of Oba Rilwan Akiolu bristles.
Brutally frank, he is not a king known to speak tongue-in-cheek. Not for him is the political correctness embraced by fellow kings; for Oba Akiolu, what you see is what you get. Over the past couple of years, some of his public statements like the choice of Akinwunmi Ambode as the next governor of Lagos State; and the tirade about the Igbo in Lagos, among others, have been topical issues across the nation.
