The Olubadan-designate, Lekan Balogun, who will be officially installed as the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland on Friday, March 12, by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, has said Ibadan chieftaincy titles will not be for sale during his reign.
He gave the assurance during a meeting the Olubadan-in-Council which he presided over at his Alarere residence in Ibadan on Monday.
The Otun Balogun of Ibadanland, Tajudeen Ajibola, made this known when he briefed journalists after a meeting held by the Olubadan Advisory Council, saying the council agreed with Olubadan on his decision and also set standards for chieftaincy appointment in Ibadanland, which spreads across 11 local government areas.
“Henceforth, any aspiring Baale, Mogaji and Jagun in Ibadanland must pass integrity test and possess a record of past contributions to the ancient metropolis before the appointment,” Ajibola stated.
The decision was in tandem with the policy of the new Olubadan that Ibadan chieftaincy titles would not be for sale during his reign. So, the expectant Baale, Mogaji or Jagun would be screened by the members of the Olubadan-in-Council before the appointment.
The council also addressed other issues, including the coronation ceremony of the new Olubadan that will hold next week Friday and the promotion of the ‘High Chiefs’ in the Olubadan line, occasioned by the elevation of Otun Olubadan (Dr Lekan Balogun) to the Olubadan stool.
Ajibola stated further that the meeting, held at the instance of the new Olubadan, expanded the coronation committee with the nomination of Osi Balogun, Lateef Adebimpe; Ekerin Balogun, Olubunmi Isioye; Ekerin Olubadan, Abiodun Kola-Daisi; and Ekarun Olubadan, Hamidu Ajibade.
Two Baales (village heads), Oniroko of Iroko, Olasunkanmi Abioye and Baale Ajia Olorungbuji, Oladepo Suleiman, were also nominated among the new members and their names would be sent to the state government for inclusion in the coronation committee
The meeting had in attendance Balogun of Ibadanland, Owolabi Olakulehin; Osi Balogun, Lateef Gbadamosi Adebimpe; Ashipa Balogun, Kola Adegbola; and Ekerin Balogun, Olubunmi Isioye; Ashipa Olubadan, Eddy Oyewole; Ekerin Olubadan, Abiodun Kola-Daisi; and Ekarun Olubadan, Hamidu Ajibade.

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to
see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.

I visited many blogs but the audio quality for audio songs present
at this website is in fact marvelous.
There’s certainly a great deal to learn about this topic.
I really like all of the points you have made.
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright
infringement? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but
it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help prevent
content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Incredible! This blog looks exactly like my old one!
It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
I think the admin of this web site is actually working hard for his site, as here every material
is quality based data.
I was curious if you ever considered changing the page
layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve
got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Very good write-up. I absolutely love this website.
Keep writing!

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the
less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
