Since the coronation of the Olubadan, I have come across various comments and reactions about the age and appearance of the Olubadan of Ibadan land. It is a common sentiment among both indigenous and non-indigenous people of Ibadan and Nigeria whenever a new Olubadan is crowned. What made this particular instance notable was the controversy that arose before the Governor eventually approved the nomination of Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, particularly regarding the state of health of our revered King.
