My people, wetin dey happen for Ijebuland no be small matter o! Dem don bring plenty gist for ground as Fusengbuwa ruling house go explain why dem put ₦10 million for Awujale application form matter. Na Oluwa lateef Owoyemi, the Olori Ebi of the ruling house, wey talk am for Channels TV last week. E say dem dey try to make everybody for di family fair play.
As per wetin e yarn, na after dem gree have family meeting, dem chook head together follow say anybodi wey wan contest for Awujale, go need drop some change. Dem say this kind arrangement dey common for Yoruba traditional settings. But wahala no dey finish there, as dem initially talk say na ₦100 million dem go charge, before dem finally land for ₦10 million after plenty wahala for discuss. Yeah, dem use dem mouth talk say na so e b.
Owoyemi carry di matter go say dem no fit just sit down dey wait make person choose king, debts dey on ground as dem settle wahala with 12 candidates wey don drop di ₦10 million each. But wetin come happen next? Ogun State Government come jump enter di matter like referee for soccer match, come tell dem say na bad idea. Dem no fit collect money like that, so dem brief all di candidates say make dem return di money back sharp sharp.
Within three days, na him sabi how dem fit refund di money wey each candidate drop. Dem package di bank advice give Ogun State Government to show say dem no dey play game. But Owoyemi no gree allow people talk say dem dey commercialise di Awujale throne. According to am, di money wey dem collect na for administrative expenses, no be to chop for dem pocket!
E still gree talk say dem begin use new selection process wey no dey favour wahala or back door dealings anymore. Now, everybody for di family fit participate, no need to just allow elders dey decide everything. Dis one na reform wey dey change the game, my people.
