I’ve never regarded any Oba in yorubaland as second fiddle, Alaafin of Oyo tells new Ooni of Ife during his visit (READ FULL EXCERPTS)
Everything one does in life can make a difference but it’s up to one to decide what kind of difference one wants to make. For the newly crowned Ife Monarch, His Imperial Majesty Enitan Adeyeye, leadership is not in size or age but in will, power and wisdom. The young monarch who was hosted by Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, the Alaafin of Oyo, was told a story he probably never heard before.
He told him that apart from Ooni Olubuse, no Alaafin and Ooni has ever had any quarrel on supremacy before. He said he has never regarded any Oba in Yorubaland as second fiddle…….and that whenever he visits any Oba, whether Akirun, Timi etc, he will eat with them. Worthy of note today is the fact that Ooni and his entourage also ate and drank at Oyo Palace.
Alaafin said further that when he was enthroned, he took Ooni Aderemi as a father and Ooni Aderemi too also took him to confidence on several issues. He said Aderemi always gave him any assignment that has to do with history and historical presentations because of his vast knowledge about Yoruba history. And when Ooni Aderemi became very old and could no longer attend Council of Obas meetings again, himself and other Obas will always visit him to brief him on whatever transpired.
On one occasion, Alaafin relayed, there was money given to the council and he together with other obas took the money Ooni Aderemi in his palace. After showing Ooni the money, Ooni Aderemi ordered that the money be taken to his inner room. Ooni Aderemi then asked them what they will like to eat. Alaafin quickly opted for freshly prepared pounded yam……..While the food was being served, one of the obas asked Alaafin whether they were not going to forfeit their share of the money already taken to Ooni’s inner room if they eat the pounded yam…….Ooni heard but kept quiet.
After they had all taken the meal, Ooni told them that the money in the inner room belonged to him as their elder……no money that entered his inner room can be shared again……”when next you get another money, share that one among yourself…..but this one is for me….” LOL……They all shook their agbada and left. However, while rounding up his story, Alaafin said Ooni Aderemi was found of praying for him ALWAYS……Aderemi who himself spent 50 years on the throne always told him “you will stay long on the throne”…..and before he left his palace that day too, Ooni prayed for him as usual. Alaafin acknowledged that one of the things sustaining him till date, 45 years after he assumed the throne, is the fatherly prayers he received from Ooni Aderemi. He prayed for the new Ooni in similar manner.
Alaafin did not forget to tell everyone that the day that Fani Kayode a.k.a Fani Power knocked his head with that of Ooni Aderemi on supremacy battle marked his end in the world of relevant politics……Fani Power collapsed politically.
Ooni also spoke and thanked Alaafin……he announced the demise of supremacy battle among obas in Yorubaland…….he also sang this beautiful song……..
Ore la o ma….
Ore la o ma se
Awa o ja mo o
Ore la o ma se.
Friends we shall be
No more fight
Friends we shall

He added that renovation works had also been completed on both the male and female hostels to improve accommodation standards, enhance security, and promote the overall well-being of boarding students.
Describing Remo Secondary School as a symbol of enduring heritage, the governor said the anniversary celebration went beyond mere commemoration of years of existence, emphasising the institution’s long-standing role in shaping generations of leaders and professionals.
He praised members of the old students’ association for their unwavering support and contributions to the school’s development, stressing that their collective efforts demonstrate a shared commitment to sustaining its legacy of excellence.
According to him, the projects and improvements carried out at the school reflect a strong belief in education as a foundation for future growth, as well as the power of collaboration between government, alumni, and the wider community.
