OSHOGBO LAND

History Of  Osogbo

One of the most accepted history of Osogbo can be traced to 1670 AD. As History had it, It all started with the journey of a famous hunter called Olutimilehin, who hails from Ipole-omu not far from Ibokun. Olutimilehin came across a local Dam while he was in hunting in a place called Gbonmin, around Oke-Baale area ( part of present day Osogbo ) .

Due to the water scarcity facing his community he went around to see if the dam will be capable of sustaining his people. Olutimihen was sad because the dam cannot sustain his community. In his quest Olutimilehin found a stream called Okrokro, which he traced its source to River Osun ( part of present day Osogbo ) . Olutimilehin went back to his community and inform the king, Larooye Gbadewolu of his findings. The king and his subjects later moved to settle at the flood plain and built his first palace later Known as Ile - Osun. 

Overtime Larooye and his subjects engaged themselves in farming activities in their new found land. History learn that One day as they were clearing the bush for cultivation they incidentally fall a tree, damaging the Indigenous industry of the spirit world. A voice was heard from the river saying "Laro! Timehin! You have broken my dyeing pots".

Other voices from the spirit world were heard saying! "Oso-igbo pele o, Oso-Igbo rora o. (Oso-igbo we cormistrate with you). Later Larooye got to know the name of the spirit Queen as Oso-igbo (widely believe to be the goodies of River Osun). This is why the Osun goddess was, and is still regarded as the spiritual mother of Oba Larooye and all the succeeding Ataoja (King of Osogbo). History also has it that Larooye and his subjects move to the upper terrace in the plain which they later called OKE Ohuntoto at the present day Osun Groove. 

 As King Larooye community population grows the groove and their already flourishing market was abadon as they moved to Ode-Osogbo after the usual Ifa devination. The abandoned market centre and the iledi ohuntoto are today important historical monuments in the Osun grooves. At the Ode-Osogbo, Larooye built his new palace at called Idi-Osun while Timehin built a Shrine known as Idi-Ogun. Larooye and his subjects discovered that their new settlements was a centre where footpaths from Oyo, Ekiti, Ijesa etc converged.

Alabuku

JACOB ODULATE, The Man Who Invented ALABUKUN Powder Over 100 Years Ago!

Alabukun, one of the oldest drugs in Nigeria and even  is still very relevant and popular today. However, not many know the Jacob Odulate aka Blessed Jacob, a Nigerian pharmacist, inventor and entrepreneur and  the brain behind the brand that has remained relevant selling in all parts of Nigeria, Benin republic, Cameroon, Ghana and some parts of Europe.

1. Jacob Sogboyega Odulate aka Blessed Jacob was born into a polygamous family in 1884.

2. He was originally from Ikorodu in Lagos State but later moved to the neighbouring Ogun State.

3. At age 14, he trekked for three months from Ikorodu before reaching Abeokuta to establish himself.

4. Blessed Jacob managed to create a brand from what served as his consulting room and workshop in Abeokuta. His modest headquarters was at the Sapon Area, not far from where he later built his famous three-storey building in Ijemo Agbadu.

5. In 1918, he invented the legendary Alabukun powder which is now a hit in the world’s most populous nation and in other West African nations.

6. He sent his children to study at some of the best universities in Durham, Newcastle, United States of America and London. e.g Mrs. Folake Odulate (later to become Chief. Mrs. Folake Solanke) who is the first female lawyer in Nigeria to wear the silk and she also became the first female Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). In 1966, she established the first law firm by a Nigerian female at Ibadan, Oyo State and named it Alabukun Chambers in honour of her great father.

7. Apart from making the drugs, the energetic Blessed Jacob also produced other brands like Alabukun mentholine, other preparations and an annual journal called Alabukun Almanac which was widely distributed in Abeokuta and eventually all over Nigeria between the 1920s and 1950s.

8. He died in 1962 at age 78.

We thank God for his life

A LITTLE BOY

There was a time i was going through serious bully from one young boy in our community while growing up.

Whenever this boy sees me, he walks up to me, hit me, slaps me on most occasions before collecting all i had on me in edibles and materials.

I caused it anyways.

When we were in Primary school, there was a funny name they gave the boy whose real name is "Yemi," probably cause of the way he talks. So when we were in Primary school, i was part of those that really humiliated and frustrated the boy so bad that he goes behind the class room to cry out his eyes cause i never called him Yemi, instead, i encouraged all our school mates to call him by the funny name and we all mocked him seriously.

But then,we got to secondary school only for this young boy to have developed a big stature andmuscles around his body, good enough to intimidate all his primary school foes.

I couldn't tell anyone at home that i was going through this annoying humiliation fromthat charcoal-black fat boy.

Whenever i saw him, i became humble to the core. I will carry this kind of pity look sothe boy could pity me and let me go, but this boy has got no conscience at all.

One day, i was only playing with one of my Mom's fashion rings and just then, she calledout to me, i quickly kept the ring in my pocket. She actually wanted me and myyounger Sister, Adebimpe Pearl to check on a colleague for her and actually this bully's house was closeto where she was sending us to.

As we were approaching the place, i saw Yemi walking up to us with a very dangeroussassy smile on his face and with that smile, i could tell what i was in for.

I was still carrying the same face cause my younger sister was with me and i neverwanted her to know what was going on, but deep down my heart... Oh God! I wastrembling.

I carried a fake bold face that evening and frowned seriously at this bully of mine as hewalked towards us, warning me not to move further from where i was, but with onemind, i dared to ignore his warning cause my sister was there.

Yemi got to us and poked me on my forehead, pushing my head backwards, but iwanted to be a strong brother to my younger sister (smiles) so i protested, even though iwas feeling like a dead meat already cause if the boy should initiate a fight, i don't havethe power, physique, nerves and courage to wrestle with him.

As he was trying to start up a fight, i unconsciously got my hand into my pocket andbrought it back only for my dear bully to move backwards and then started running awayfrom me.

I was kinda amazed.

What could have set me free from this boy today?

What a miracle!

Just then, i heard him saying in Yoruba language "you want to use a diabolic ring onme" (o fe gba mi l'oruka)

The boy took to his heels while i was trying to move closer to him to be sure i was reallyexperiencing that event turnaround.

I looked at my hand truly and i saw Mom's fashion ring that i forgot in my pocket,dazzling on my finger innocently.

Since that day, wherever Yemi sees me, he comes to greet me specially.

In fact, he paid homage to me anytime he comes to my area and i took advantage of the situation and see myself asking him to do certain things for me whichhe would quickly carry out diligently.

What kind of situation is it that seem too frustrating?

You have been facing serious confrontation and you feel as though defeated andbroken.

Most times, you don't even know what to believe. Your head keeps blasting hurt like atruck's horn had been installed there.

You feel bowing down in shame and kissing the dust is the final end point?

No! No!!

Most times, our challenges are not really as strong as we view them.

Some of them are only waiting for minor actions from us.

Some are even blessings in disguise.

Don't just play "loser" by sitting down there.

Confront your confrontations.

Look straight at those challenges and be ready to hold them under your control.

Most of them are really not as big as we see them. Just a minor action from us can clearup most difficulties.

Remember,

The way out of the Red Sea is in the Red Sea.

Old Woman And Her Pot

An elderly woman had two large pots, each hung on

the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot

was perfect and always delivered a full portion of

water. At the end of the long walks from the stream

to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the

woman bringing home only one and a half pots of

water.. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its

accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was

ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that

it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter

failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.

'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my

side causes water to leak out all the way back to

your house.'

The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are

flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other

pot's side?' 'That's because I have always known

about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your

side of the path, and every day while we walk back,

you water them.' For two years I have been able to

pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

Without you being just the way you are, there would

not be this beauty to grace the house.'

*Moral of the story:*

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the

cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives

together so very interesting and rewarding. You've

just got to take each person for what they are and

look for the good in them.
