The palace of Ologijo of Ogijo Remo, Oba Kazeem Olaonipekun Gbadamosi received men of timber and calibre on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, as the CEO of Ogun State Security Trust Fund, Barrister Opeyemi Olukayode and his wife, Oluwatoyin Agbaje became the Otunba and Yeye Bobagbimo of Ogijo-Remo in Ogun state.
The event which took
place in commemoration of the 4th coronation anniversary of the
Ologijo of Ogijo, HRH Oba Kazeem Olaonipekun Gbadamosi placed Ogijo Remo on
another pedestal as it received not just guests but people who have the
potential to turn the fortunes of the community around in no time.
To say the event was
classy is to undermine the person Otunba Opeyemi Agbaje. Everyone who knows him
knows that he is a man of class and style. Did he let anyone down? Absolutely
not. Starting from his Louis Vuitton shoes down to his dansiki, soro and
abetiaja cap, his style spoke volume and class. And to leave Yeye Bobagbimo
Toyin Agbaje out of the fashion, class and style talk is to undermine the
efficacy of the main player. Yes, Otunba Agbaje revealed that she was the
secret behind all his styles.
The event made a working
day look like an owambe Saturday but those in attendance had fun and value for
their time. Infoonlinenews.com.ng was present there and they bring you
intriguing stories and beautiful pictures from the event, enjoy.
High
Ranking Royal Fathers Storm Event
To start with, an event
of this magnitude should live up to its standard in terms of personalities in
attendance. Did it, you be the judge but let me quickly tell you that we almost
lost count of the royal fathers in attendance from various part of Yoruba land.
Starting with Oba Timothy Oyesola Akinsanya, The Ewusi Makun of Sagamu kingdom,
the Elepe of Epe, Oba Adewale Osiberu, HRH Oba Adewale Osiberu Basibi, the
Alaperu of Iperu, Oba Adeyinka Oyetade, the Alakene of Ikene, Oba Jamiu
Olalekan, the Onigodo of Igodo, Oba Oyewole Oyediran, the paramount ruler of
Yakoyo kingdom in Osun state, the Asiwaju of Remoland, Dr S.K Onasowapo, Dr
Adeleke Adedoyin, the list is endless.
COVID-19
Protocols Fully Observed
The scourge of the
dreaded COVID-19 pandemic acted as a check for all the guests. Virtually
everyone in attendance wore their face masks correctly while many others also
had their hand sanitisers for personal use. Aside from that, there was proper
spacing of chairs for the purpose of physical distancing. The organisers gave
little or no room for the transmission of COVID-19.
Yoruba
Radio Host, Olakitan Adegoke Anchors Event
Rich cultural display
always adds colour to an event of this kind and it was displayed both in words
and action. Starting with the anchor, Olakitan Adegoke, a popular radio host on
Tungba FM, he beautifully crafted his use of language to suit the purpose of
the gathering and selling the riches in the Yoruba language to all those who
appreciated it. He was also able to blend and carry his diversified audience
along. Knowing fully well that some of the guests were non-Yoruba speaking,
Olakitan switched perfectly between Yoruba and English languages each time a
need arose.
Oba
Kazeem Gbadamosi’s Royal Speech
Everyone expected to hear
from Kabiesi, HRH Oba Kazeem Gbadamosi on the importance of the event and why
Otunba Opeyemi and Yeye Oluwatoyin were selected from among many choices. To
start with, Kabiesi revealed that one thing that qualified Otunba Opeyemi
Agbaje with his wife was the vast experience he possessed in the private
sector. Oba Gbadamosi has as the topmost om his agenda, capacity development
for the people of Ogijo and most especially the youths and Otunba Agbaje fits
perfectly into that role of helping out.
We have started empowering
people, we have held vocational training for over 2000 people in the last one
year and we have fully equipped over 200 in various vocations. We are also
mentoring and monitoring them so as to ensure that they achieve the purpose of the
programme intends to serve.
Otunba Agbaje and his
wife are true sons of Remoland and I am certain that this being their first
chieftaincy title will open doors for more to come in Remoland and beyond. With
him and his wife, we are sure of achieving more for the youths of Ogijo land.
He has been doing it in the background but there is a need to bring him to the
fore. We are all aware of his contributions to the development of Sagam,
Remoland and Ogun State in general. All I can do is to pray that God grants him the strength to do more, he concluded.
Otunba
& Yeye Bobagbimo Ogijo Remo’s Grand Entry
Amidst local drums, gongs
and vibrating sounds, Otunba Opeyemi and Yeye Oluwatoyin landed at the palace
of Ologijo of Ogijo Remo looking like royalties. Their outfits stood out among
the crowd as they lead an entourage into the auditorium. Accosted by the
traditional singers at the entrance of the auditorium, Otunba and Yeye Agbaje
displayed their dancing skills before heading to their exalted seats placed in
front of the royal fathers in attendance.
Apena
of Ogijo Remo Leads Traditional Rites
As culture and tradition
would have it, the Apena of Ogijo Remo, chief Taiwo Olayinka was responsible
for leading the traditional rites to be performed before the official
pronouncements will be made. Without any delay, Chief Taiwo who had prepared
all the necessary ingredients like beads, crown and staff of office wasted no
time in doing the needful before handing over to Oba Gbadamosi who would
complete the process.
Oba
Gbadomosi Hands Over Staff of Office
Officially declaring the
new chiefs was the function of the Kabiesi in charge. This, Oba Gbadamosi did
with pure expression of delight and satisfaction. After the Apena had held a
hitch-free rite, Kabiesi mounted the podium to hand over the crown and staff of
offices to Otunba Bobagbimo Ogijo-Remo, Barrister Opeyemi Olukayode Agbaje and
Yeye Bobagbimo Ogijo-Remo, Chief Mrs Oluwatoyin Agbaje and afterwards declared
them official title bearers.
Egbe
Obayori Obinrin Akile Ijebu Stood Out
It is no longer news that Otunba Opeyemi Agbaje is the Patron of Egbe Obayori Obinrin Akile Ijebu.
This group of young, charming and captivating ladies came in large number to
show love and support for their patron. Among the crowd at the event, they
stood out. They were the most stylish guests present. They all wore different
shades of white lace and royal blue gele. Any young lady at the event would
wish she was a member of this society, of a truth, they stole the show.
At
The Reception
The reception took off
immediately after the coronation rites had been completed. There was no need
for anyone to go through any stress. Seats had been spaciously arranged to give
room for COVID-19 protocols while beautiful sounds were oozing out of the
speakers as guests were getting set for a real-time entertainment and showdown.
Bishop
Samson Musical On The Bandstand
This awesome, energetic and
talented singer and his band were just a perfect match for the event. Samson
Akinyemi brought out another life entirely to the event. Have you ever seen a
royal father dance at an event? The music must have done the magic. This was
what the Bishop Samson Musical did at the event. Royal fathers took a turn to
have a fair share of good music.
Otunba
& Yeye Bobagbimo Ogijo On The Dance Floor
Many people don’t know
that serious Opeyemi Agbaje is a good stepper. When you hear good music,
it literally brings out the dancer in you. That was the case of our new Otunba
Agbaje. The music made him dance well. Not that alone, his guests came to spray
him and the new Yeye Bobagbimo.
Oba
Gbadamosi Storms Dancefloor
One of the memorable
moments at the event was when Oba Kazeem Gbadamosi stormed the dancefloor to
spray his new chiefs some cash. Kabiesi did it in style. He didn’t just do that
to his chiefs alone, as a father of all, he sprayed everyone on the dancefloor.
That is unprecedented, isn’t it?
Egbe
Obayori Obinrin Akile Ijebu Takeover Dancefloor
These ladies sure know
how to have fun. They practically took over the dancefloor when they stormed
there. Their number had been intimidating all day long and when they eventually
had the opportunity to spoil their patron with cash gifts, they explored it to
the fullest.
