BABANGIDA, AN INDIGENE OF OGBOMOSO,OYO STATE
This is news behind news. News that is greater than News. Iroyin to ju Iroyin lo.
By Adedokun Davies 2018
The
former head of state, ex president and Commander- in -Chief of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB),has been
claiming to be an offshoot of Minna, the Capital City of Niger State of
Nigeria. But for many years, those who can remove cooked yam to the
bottom of pot had been telling anybody that cares to listen that
Babangida the creator of militoncracy in Nigeria is an indigene of an
ancient town in Oyo State of Nigeria known as Ogbomoso.
The
story and historical exponents argued with an oath taken with the grave
of their grand mother that the grandfathers of Babangida were born and
bred in Ogbomoso town.That it was the struggle for greener pastures
that took them to the land of Hausa/Fulani in the years too numerous to
be counted by the tips of fingers.
This information exponents
who are in plurals told OLOKIKI news on line that up to the time of
advent of Badamosi, their Yoruba Origin tongue was glaring.
They maintained that the Ibrahim in IBB’S name was an Islamic name.
That Badamosi was originally Gbadamosi.That it is a name that emanated
from Yoruba language,that the Hausa/Fulanis can not pronounce “GB” which
is an aiphabet in the Yoruba language that made them to call Badamosi
instead of Gbadamosi.
They also reiterate the point that
Baba-n-gida the surname of IBB means Baba in the house. Therefore the
Baba before ngida is a name of respected father among the Yorubas.
Those behind these reveletion also maintained that IBB has been told
severally about his place of origin and has even accepted it informally.
Badamosi Babangida was also said to be fluent in Yoruba
language that he can even write messages in the language of the Yorubas.
Those contacted on the issue corroborated the matter with OLOKIKI news
on line. The elders among them said “The Ogbomoso people are vastly
travelling people and that their fore fathers have migrated to many
parts of the world starting from Ibadan,to the Northern parts of
Nigeria,to African countries like Togo, to Burkina Faso(formally Upper
Volta) and Ivory coast among others .
They stick to the point
that this was reason for Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida present status as a
son of the soil in Ogbomoso and Niger State paripasu.
Keep a date with OLOKIKI as we shall keep you posted.
Has
Babangida Yoruba connection affected “June 12 “ 1993.Also how it as
affected the botched creation of new Oyo State and Ibadan State from the
present Oyo State of Nigeria,West Africa.

COMMOTION IN THE HOUSE OF HERBAL MEDICINE
YEMKEM VS OKO OLOYUN
Things Fall Apart, Patapata
By: Patricia Nwogu
Things has finally fall apart in the house of herbal medicine.
The group known as Herbal Therapy Society of Nigeria (HTSN) was formed
about fourteen years ago in Lagos and later having chapters in other
states, especially, in the South West of Nigeria.
Popular herbal medicine producers,promoters and practitioners were the founding personalties.
They include Dr Akintunde Ayeni,(YEMKEM),Dr Fatai Yusuf,(Oko Oloyun),Dr
Temitayo Adeyemi (Omooba),Dr Finnih,Dr Kaolag, Madam Nike Adepoju and
many others who made their livinghood through traditional medicine;
Right from the formation of the society, Yemkem had been unanimously saddled with the presidency of this group.
While Dr Temitayo Adeyemi Omooba was occupying the office of Vice
President.Oko Oloyun was made the chairman of the board of Trustees.
Things were going on well as expected,until recently when the bubble
bursts.
The wall of hitherto peaceful society suddenly carved in, and the proverbial lizard entered in straight.
As at now, two factions of herbal society had emerged.
While Dr Akintunde Ayeni remained the leader of the age long HPSN, a splinter group has broken out.
The group was being led by Dr Fatai Yusuf (Oko Oloyun) under a new name with acronym NAP.
While the Oko Oloyun’s NAP has been patronising media to herald their
relevance and seriousness, the Yemkem faction had remained undaunted.
Olokiki News can authoritatively report that the comotion in the house
of herbal medicine had been gathering momentum for some years back. It
was rooted in the business rivalry between the two herbal medicine
gladiators ,YemKem and Oko Oloyun.
While YemKem is gladiating
with the promotional appelation as “Parthfinder”. His younger rival had
been boasting that He is the Master. And that ‘Master is Master”.
While all these were regarded as business rivalry. Oko Oloyun extended it to the leadership of their society.
He started by confroting the YemKem accolades; And began to undermining the constituted leadership.
The last straw that broke the camels back was when the society decided to hold election last year 2017.
Candidacy of Akintunde Ayeni was touted by his supporters. But Oko
Oloyun as a person will not listen to that. His argument was that for
over ten years that the society has been formed.
YemKem has
remained the President. He therefore argued that Akintunde Ayeni must
step aside by not contesting in the election at all. Oko Oloyun
believes this will pave way for him to win the presidency of the
society.
But the pro YemKem group vehemently opposed to this
point.Their own point was that, the leadership of YemKem during the
formation period was without election. That the 2017 election was the
first election to be held by the society.
Therefore, Akitunde Ayeni must “carry box” in the election, And pro YemKem finally won the debate.
Olokiki News garthered from reliable source that the decision and
approval of YemKem to contest sent jittery to Oko Oloyun,having realised
that he may not be able to defeat Ayeni in a free and fair election.
One of the points YemKem group were reiterating to send Oko Oloyun to
cooler was that Oko Oloyun’s education background is not sufficient to
lead a national society.
Another point was that Oko Oloyun does
not financially commited to the society. Because most of his self made
promises to the society were never fulfilled.
However, Oko Oloyun
would not sucumb to his opponents brangade, He boycotted the 2017
election, and Yemkem and his group won all the seats vied for,mostly
unopposed.
The fallout of YemKem’s victory was the declaration of Oko Oloyun as the president of his own faction.
Fatai Yusuf Oko Oloyun wasted no time, he quickly gathered his cronies
and sympathisers together funded them to form his own factional society
known as NAP and was instantly installed the President General.
Meanwhile both Oko Oloyun’s and YemKem’s societies have been clinching
to Ooni of Ife,Oba Enitan Ogunwusi to shur up their relevance to Yoruba
race in general.
Both groups had at one date or the other paid
homage to Ile Ife kingdom and had been received by the Royal Father of
the source of sons and daughters of Oduduwa

BUHARI’S IMAGE MAKERS ARE TOO ABUJALISED
By: Abdulganiyu Ajamu
A call has been made to those put in charge of publicity and image
making of President Muhammadu Buhari to reorganise their operations to
correct negative impression many Nigerians are having about the
Nigerian leader.
The call was made by the publisher of OLOKIKI
Newspaper on line, Elder Olugbenga Ogundiran during the formal
introduction of the newspaper in Akure, the Ondo State
capital,Nigeria,West Africa.
The event was held on the 30th of May 2018.
OLOKIKI publisher said ‘Activities of image makers of PMB are too
centralised. Their operations and efforts are concentrated in Abuja, the
Federal Capital of Nigeria and they know little about what is going on
in the nook and cranies of Nigeria.They need to decentralised and let
the President be portrayed in proper and good image across the thirty
six States of Nigeria.
An investigation conducted by OLOKIKI news
on line revealed that the over centralization, otherwise called
Abujalisation of machinery of government information has created field
day for antagonists of Buhari to be heeping hate speeches on PMB and his
government and his political party without any let or hindrances.
Private and even government owned radio stations are agog every morning
with phone- in verbal expression of many uncivilised words on the
President and his activities.
Opposing political parties have
plotted their stoogies strategically to misconstrue President speech,
action and inaction up-side-down to rain war of words on him unabated.
The Publisher of OLOKIKI news said “It is only in Buhari’s regime that I
have witnesssed a nation’s President being called names with abuses and
curses on him, and his friends, supporters, sympathizers and even his
paid image makers fold their arms and mouths while the bad belle runs
without reply. No sensitisation of the educated-illiterates
commentators and uncultured human rights activits.
“Image makers of the president must wake up to their responsibilities” He concluded.

affairs for over fifteen years,using his social status to bully any
candidate away,and win the yearly elections as he is said to be the only
professor available at highest level of Anglican Church not only in his
parish, but in all the Diocese of Akure.
But he was not so lucky this year as some new contenders had got together to challenge Aboluwoye perpetuation in the PCC.
After he was beaten to his chicanery that got him out of office, he
began to install his protégé both men and women, with a particular
reference to one of his mistresses in the parish.

was vehemently opposed by the new freedom group,thereby putting the
parish and diocese in disaray.Meanwhile grave silence is the current

AT LAST !
YEM KEM OPENS UP ON COCAINE PUSHING HULLABALOO!
Dr Akintunde Ayeni Isola, the Managing Directorof Yem Kem International has finally opens up on the
issue of drug pushing that has been making waves for a good period of time.
Yem Kem is a wealthy and popular traditional medicine merchant. He is also known as Pathfinder, because he is believed to have scored many first in the art of packaging of traditional medicine popularly called herbal medicines.
Akintunde Ayeni has extended a lot of patronage to print and electronic media, this has made his name to become a household,not only in the South West Zone of Nigeria, but also in many parts of the World.
This famousity has attracted goodwill and patronage to this Oye Ekiti born business man. However like in
any human endeavors, price must be paid for glamour and success.
Therefore, it is with a mixed feelings the news that Akintunde Ayeni is pushing drugs was received by the public. While some dismissed the news with a wave of hand, many takes it as a gospel truth
The matter attained a higher dimension of talk around when it was circulated that Akintunde Ayeni is a
frequent traveler to many foreign countries like U.K, Asia, China among others.
But the straw that breaks the camel’s back, was the opening of a gigantic tourist edifice known as
Pathfinder Hotel in Ado Ekiti, the Capital of Ekiti State, in the South West of Nigeria.
Because, immediately after the house warming ceremony, the NDLEA, the agency of Federal Government that controls drugs and allied matters in Nigeria, put machinery in motion and whisked Akintunde Ayeni away to their interrogation centre.The rest is history.
But now, the man at the bottom of the matter, Dr Ishola Akintunde Ayeni, Yem Kem has, for the first time opens up and addressed public about the issue of drug pushing.
It all takes place at the palace of Ooni of Ife kingdom,Ile Ife,the most ancient town in the South West of Nigeria, West Africa. At a ceremony put together to formally introduce Yem Kem as the president of the Herbal Therapy Society of Nigeria (HTSN) to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi on the 10th of April 2018.
Dr Akintunde Ayeni while pleading with Ooni to do all withing his powers for the development, promotion, and acceptance of traditional medicines of Yoruba land, explained what led to his being castigated as a drug baron.
Yem Kem explained that many people have stigmatized traditional medicine as a product of the illiterates,and down trodden citizens .
That was a reason that the wealth of any successful herbal Practitioner is a subject of suspicion,that it must have comes from hidden sources.
Dr.Akintunde Ayeni then narrated how National Drug Law Enforcement Agencies (NDLEA) pounced on him
after opening of His Hotel at Ado Ekiti, drilling and grilling him to explain the source of his money.
Because, they say an ordinary practitioner of herbal medicine cannot be able to get money to build an edifice like his Parthfinder Hotel.
After a lot of explanation and revelation of his bank transactions, they realized the fact that traditional medicine is capable of creating wealth, if conscientiously packaged as he and his society members are doing.
He thereafter presented many modernized packages of herbal medicine to Oba Enitan Ogunwusi.
