A cross section of the Abisogun Rulling House of Iru Land

……Sue for peace and tranquility in Iru Land

When HRM Oba Idowu Abiodun Oniru went to rest with his ancestors on September 23 2019, the highly reverned and coveted oniru stool was automatically vacant. In a search of who paddles the boat of Iru Land as the Oniru of Iru, the Abisogun rulling house after several consultation and deliberations, declared cosmopolitan super Cop, Prince Hakeem Ajasa as the Oniru Elect.

After Ajasa’s selection, several eyeball were raised and tongue wagged but to the chagrin of naysayers, Ajasa was given Vote-of-confidence by members of the Abisogun Rulling house, as they reiterated their stand on his choice as the Oniru Elect.

Over the week, two warring ruling families jostling to occupy the stool, signed a Peace Accord at the Police Headquarters in Lagos this was disclosed on Wednesday, December 26 at a press conference held by elders of the Abisogun family in Ikeja Lagos,

At the press conference, Cornelius Kashimawo Bello, an elder in the Abisogun ruling family (Omisade Branch) who was the spokesperson at the briefing divulged that; “To uphold peace and harmony, Mr Hakeem Oriyomi Ajasa and Aremo Adesegun Oniru, two days ago, signed the Peace Accord, at the Police Headquarters in Lagos to ensure that peace reigns in Iru Kingdom and to avoid break down of law and order.” Bello urged that Lagosians, most expecially son’s and daughter’s of Iruland and members of the public, irrespective of their Ruling House, should remain calm and be law-abiding citizens without taking laws into their hands.

“We are confident that the state authority will not be biased in their judgment, knowing fully well that the law is greater than any individual,” he further added.

Oniru elect Prince Hakeem Ajasa

The press briefing was well attended by elders of the Abisogun family which includes, Prince Tajudeen Oniru, Prince Wasiu Ogunbambi, Prince Saliu Agboola Salau, Chief Salawu Isa Gbenga; Baale Igboshere, and Prince Muideen Adebiyi. The family used the sole opportunity to address rumours making the round and also to reiterate their joint support towards the candidacy and selection of Prince Hakeem Oriyomi Ajasa, whom they explained is the family’s choice according to the declaration made under the Customary Law Regulation Selection to the Oniru Chieftaincy of Lagos of September 14, 1993, approved by the then Executive Governor of Lagos State, Sir Michael Agbolade Otedola.

The elders explained that there are only three recognised Ruling Houses entitled to the Oniru throne: Abisogun, Akiogun and Ogunyemi Ruling Houses.

Kashimawo Bello further revealed that the declaration clearly states the number of Ruling Houses, the approved rotation and procedure to be followed in the nomination of the candidates by the Local Government Authority.

“The 13th Oba of Oniru, His Royal Highness, Oba Yesufu Abiodun who reigned from 1934 to 1984 was from the Akiogun Ruling House and upon his demise, it was the turn of the Ogunyemi Ruling House to ascend to the throne of Oba of Oniru.

“However, the Ogunyemi Ruling House, who was next in line to produce the candidate to the stool of Oba of Oniru declined and conceded their right to the Akiogun family thereby paving the way for the immediate past Oniru, HRH Oba Idowu Oniru, who was the 14th Oba of Oniru Kingdom. So, by every standard, the Akiogun family, which has now reigned for a total of 75 years, was only fortunate to have presented the immediate past Oniru. Going by the existing structured rotation, the Abisogun Ruling House is the next in line to nominate and select a candidate to ascend the throne as the 15th Oba of Iru Land,” he stated.

The family said they have written letters to appropriate government parastatals to upholding and recognise their unanimous choice, Prince Hakeem Ajasa as the Oniru elect, as they await reply to their letters so the Kingmakers can commence with the every needed traditional rites and seclusion to install the humility personified gentleman as the 15th Oniru of Iru land.

Polaris Bank customer, Ife Michael, who recently aired her concerns on X (formerly Twitter) on a school fees transaction, has commended the Bank for resolving her Complaint swiftly as promised.

 

Ife Michael tweeting via her X handle @V_Ifemichael had called out the Bank for ‘seizing’ her funds as sent from a UK University where she had sought admission.

Polaris Bank reacted promptly to her Complaint and engaged her to explain the process and promised to resolve the issue which the Bank did swiftly.

An apparently elated Ife Michael went back to the micro blogging site to recount her experience with an update on her earlier thread of how the Bank swiftly resolved her Complainant.

The Bank, according to her update “responded and reached out to explain in details the guidelines underpinning FX transaction as it relates in particular to International payment.

In her tweet, Ife Michael expressed gratitude to Polaris Bank’s swift action and transparent communication. According to her, the Bank clarified that the situation was complex but assured her that the funds would be promptly refunded to the school. And Polaris Bank did exactly as it promised as it promptly refunded the money to Roehampton University and initiated necessary processes to streamline the refund.

The engagement began when Polaris Bank’s headquarters made the first contact at 11:48 am, and by 3:41 pm on the same day, Ife Michael confirmed that the Bank had successfully refunded the funds and

fulfilled all required procedures. The Bank also took the extra step of writing to the school to facilitate the process.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United

Published

Cristiano Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes held meetings with United at Carrington on Tuesday, but his position remains unchanged and he wants to play for a club in the Champions League and win major trophies. United do not want him to go, however, and Ronaldo has started training with the team having missed the club’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons.

His potential options elsewhere are limited. Chelsea are not an option anymore, while Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid appeared to publicly rule themselves out this week. “As we’ve seen on Instagram, Ronaldo has been keeping fit, so there are no concerns from Manchester United over his fitness or physical level; he’s one of the fittest players in world football.

“Ultimately, The Portuguese forward did state his desire to leave Old Trafford, but he’s running out of options, and it seems like he’s actually going to have to stay. Perhaps he will try and swing it where the 25 per cent pay cut in his contract will be waived away by United, perhaps he wants to manoeuvre and muscle a new deal, we’ll have to wait and see. But it doesn’t look like Stamford Bridge is on his cards.

“Chelsea have distanced themselves from a deal for Ronaldo, as have Bayern Munich, Napoli and a lot of other elite clubs that Jorge Mendes, who is Ronaldo’s agent, has tried to sell him to. “An offer from Saudi Arabia is astronomical but ultimately, it does not give Cristiano Ronaldo what he wants, which is that legacy. He wants to achieve Champions League records that he thinks no one else will be able to attain in the future.

“He wants to sign off at the absolute highest level. Now, it looks increasingly like he will have to stay at Manchester United because there are no biters from the big clubs.

“Everyone has their forwards already, and Chelsea, who are the only club looking like they could actually potentially be spun by what Cristiano Ronaldo offers off the pitch because we were told that Mendes, while being in front of these clubs, was putting forward his numbers in terms of social media influence, sponsorship that he rakes in, the commercial gain of his shirt sales and stuff like that. But even they now say he is not in their plans. Their immediate aim is to strengthen the defence.

“So, that leaves Ronaldo really with not many choices. We know that he does want to be competing at the highest level so if he does go to Saudi Arabia that cuts against everything he has said and everything we actually know about him and his career.

“Manchester United have always been very calm and very comfortable. They have insisted he is not for sale, and he will see out the last year of his contract. How they manoeuvre this now going forward we’ll see, but Ronaldo is keeping fit, so they have no issues or problems or fears over what state he’ll report back to pre-season in.”
