WHERE ARE THE EGBA'S


The story of Abeokuta, the abode of the Egbas (and Owus), started with their liberation from the sovereignty of the Alaafin of Oyo Empire, to which the Egbas had belonged. The Liberation took place between 1775 and 1780, under the leadership of Lisabi, a resident of Igbehin who was born in Itoku. He organized an insurgent movement disguised under the name of Egbe Aaro Tradition Mutual Aid Society.

Lisabi later used the society to free the Egba by organizing the simultaneous killing of the Ajeles or Ilaris in all Egba settlements in 1780, starting from Igbehin. In all, more than 600 llaris or Ajeles were wiped out in one day. Ilaris were the representatives of the Alaafin of Oyo and collectors of the tributes paid to the Alaafin from all territories under the dominion of Oyo Empire. The Ajeles or Ilaris generally behaved like an Army of Occupation in the places they administered. Their tyrannical rules marked them out as instruments for the oppression and suppression of the people. It was this authoritarian rule of the Alafin and reckless lifestyle of the Ilaris in Egbaland that resolved Lisabi and his peers to bring an end to the evil.

The adoption of the universally popular Aaro system of cooperative by the Egbe Ologun (Arms Bearers Club) of Lisabi was the strategy he used to plot against the Ilaris in his Igbehin town. All the other Egba towns rose and killed the Ilaris in their midst in an almost simultaneous coordination! As soon as the news reached metropolitan Oyo the Alaafin wasted no time in dispatching an Army to crush the Egba rebellion. This was already anticipated in the Lisabi plan and the Oyo army of vengeance was routed and the freedom of the Egbas established. This episode occurred between 1775 and 1780 in the Egba forest.

This unity and cooperation among the numerous Egba forest settlements was very short lived, their lack of cooperation and unified direction later resulting in their being completely routed at the advent of the Yoruba Wars triggered at Apomu market near Orile Owu. Much later around 1829, Lamodi of Igbehin and Balogun of the Egbas living in Maye’s camp in Ibadan, decided that the Egbas should escape from Maye’s bondage. The Egbas had heard about Abeokuta in their quest for a place to settle in. They sent Chief Sobookun, the Baamokun of Ilugun, and others to bring a handful of earth from there for divination, and the result was propitious. The first batch to arrive in Abeokuta consisted of Egba Alake, Oke Ona, and Gbagura, in that order. Later, Olufakun led Owu to Abeokuta, while others soon followed.

(NOTE: It is known that an Owu-Apomu warrior by the name of Sangojimi Gudugba and his group were also at the head of that pioneering refugee team from Ibadan led by Sodeke).

Lamodi lost his life in battle at a river crossing while trying to prevent his first son, Osota, from being captured by Maye’s army, who were pursuing the Egba. Sodeke, the Seriki of the Egbas succeeded him and in 1830 led the Egba Alake into Abeokuta. Balogun Olunloye, the Balogun Ilugun led Ogba Oke-Ona while Oluwole Agbo, Balogun Ojo Gbagura led the Gbagura to Abeokuta. An Itoko chief named Idowu Liperu had earlier been living at the settlement. He had crossed the Ogun River and settled on a farmland where three hunters by name Jibulu, Ose and Olunle joined him. Unlike, Liperu who erected a house with the assistance of the then Olubara Lafa the three hunters lodged in caves under the Olumo Rock. They had earlier assisted Sobookun to retrieve the soil samples from around the Olumo Rock.

Later, Adagba and others moved to the rock to join Liperu and the three hunters, who had settled there. Adagba was a brave man who had his farmland located very close to the rock. The settlement was called Oko Adagba, the initial name of Abeokuta. Olumo means ‘built by the Lord’ – its naturally furnished apartments being its caves! Another interpretation of Olumo is ‘Oluwa Fimo’ meaning God puts an end to the hostility against the Egbas. Abeokuta is also known as ‘Abe Olumo’ – a settlement under the rock.

Between 1830 and the turn of the century, the settlers in Abeokuta were forced to fight several wars mostly for the survival of the emerging settlement. In 1832, the Ijebu Remo people provoked the new settlers into taking arms against several Ijebu Remo towns in the Owiwi war. In 1834, an attempted Ibadan invasion also challenged them into a war which resulted in the heavy defeat of the Ibadan army at the Battle of Arakanga which manifested the potency and indispensability of the warriors of the Owu settlers who had only recently been convinced by Sodeke to settle with them in order to boost the new settlement’s defences!

In 1842, the settlers took the offensive against the Ota people in order to ensure free movement through Ota territory on their route to Lagos for firearms. This led to another war in 1844 when they attacked Ado under the Owu war general, Gbalefa, for assisting the Ota people two years earlier. The same year, the Dahomeans, under King Gezo, invaded Abeokuta but were repulsed. The Dahomey army repeated the invasion in 1851 and suffered the devastating defeat of their largely female ‘Amazon’ warriors who were pursued all the way to the outskirts of their kingdom!

In 1849, Abeokuta attacked Ibarapa for waylaying the Egba in their territory. Among other wars fought by Abeokuta were the Ijebu-Ere War in 1851, and the Ijaye War of 1860-1862, and the Makun War of 1862-1864, as well as a few others. In most of these encounters, they emerged victorious – although they suffered their own reverses in some as well. After the demise of Sodeke, Abeokuta had no leader for quite a number of years. The administration of the town was left in the hands of chiefs like Ogunbona the Balogun of Ikija, Okukenu the Sagbua of Ake, Somoye the Seriki, who later became Bashorun in succeeding Apati, Bada of Kemta, and others.

The Egbas in an effort to reunite from this leadership fractionalization elected to install an Oba, and the lot fell on Okukenu, the Sabua of Ake and head of Egba Ogboni cult. An industrious woodcarver, he was installed the Alake of Ake on August 8, 1854. A few months later in 1855, the first Olowu in Abeokuta, Oba Adeyanju Pawu from the Otileta Royal lineage was also crowned!

AN INTERVIEW WITH AN EXPERT

Pharmaceutical madness in the country. This is how pharmacies avoid selling the most effective and easy to sell hypertensive supplement.

Oba Adamu:"Remember this and listen to no one: hypertension must be cured at the source of the problem, rather than simply treating its symptoms with well-known medicine, commonly seen in advertising"
"I will personally add a discount lottery at the end of the article. Any of my readers can take part and get a discount of up to 50%."
Oba Adamu:

A well-known cardiac surgeon, doctor of medicine, scientist, public figure, naturopath, and specialist on herbal medicine. Experience - 12 years.

Mr Adamu claims that using one natural supplement enables anyone to get rid of hypertension and its cause within a matter of weeks! In addition to that, the symptoms and blood pressure spikes it causes go away in a number of days. The truth about how effective the method he speaks about is proved in practice on a day to day basis. Live on a government TV channel, he agreed to give our publication an interview dedicated to answering questions on having a healthy heart and blood vessels.

Hello, Oba. Could you tell us, is it true that hypertension and high blood cholesterol are unavoidable conditions for every adult?

Hello. Of course no, that's not true. It is something that many inexperienced, amateur doctors who fail to cure their patients of high blood cholesterol and spikes in blood pressure for many years might claim to be true. However, in reality, permanently curing these conditions is rather simple, and it can be done at home. This is exactly what the thousands of people who come to me for help do.

What is the secret behind your method?

The secret is to remove the actual cause of high blood pressure. Clogged blood vessels are to blame for this, the more clogged blood vessels become the more effort the heart has to put into circulating blood throughout the body. As soon as you get your blood vessels back to normal, your blood pressure goes back to normal as well.

How is it that blood vessels get clogged? How can they be brought back to normal?

Buildup of cholesterol, salt, thrombosis, drug residue, alcohol and nicotine that accumulates over years is to blame. They build up on blood vessel walls in the form of plaque, reducing blood vessel elasticity and causing them to get clogged up.

A couple years have passed now since an effective, and most importantly, natural supplement has hit the pharmaceutical market, it's called Normatone . The most amazing thing about this supplement is that it both lowers arterial pressure and eliminates the main cause of hypertension, and in addition to this it has absolutely no side effects or counterindicatives.

This supplement stops spikes in blood pressure faster than anything else out there, within a few days. A whole course cleanses blood vessels of buildup and clears up clogging, returning them back to normal. It only consists of natural organic extracts. Normatone comes in the form of capsules that are taken 2 times a day. This supplement's effectiveness surpasses that of excimer laser coronary angioplasty, and it is completely safe to use and has no counterindicatives. Moreover, it has a complex strengthening effect on the body. For best results and getting rid of spikes in blood pressure, it's recommended to take a whole course once every 6-10 months.

Normatone is a revolutionary supplement that has shaken up the pharmaceutical market. There has never been anything as effective and safe, yet made with natural ingredients. The creators who worked on its bioactive formula spent 6 long years. It became the most popular and best selling product for cleansing blood vessels and curing hypertension as soon as it appeared on the market.

What makes blood vessels get clogged up and constrict? How can I get them back to normal?

Of course. Our research center became the first in the country to receive certification for sale of the newest hypertensive supplement. Honestly, when I saw the proposition from the manufacturer, I couldn't hold back my laughter because it sounded too good to be true.

Nevertheless, we conducted the clinical trials on Normatone. 3,289 hypertension patients took part in the trials. The results were impressive:

  • 94% of test participants were completely relieved of symptoms and normal blood pressure in 5-10 minutes after taking Normatone.
  • 91% of test participants were completely relieved of fluctuations in blood pressure
  • 92% of test participants saw normalization in heart rate after finishing a course
  • 98% of test participants saw normalization in blood sugar and cholesterol

Sounds impressive. Could you tell us, is it true that a supplement capable of completely stopping fluctuations in blood pressure has finally been created?

Yes, the traditional approach for treating hypertension and cleansing blood vessels is stuck in the past. Now, the symptoms and the cause of high blood pressure can both be treated at home with just one course of Normatone. This supplement cleanses blood vessels, normalizes blood flow,removes plaque and thrombosis, and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke by 25 times.

"It activates the body's inner reserves and intiaties its natural process of cleansing blood vessels from just the first use. This quickly relieves the unpleasant symptoms that come with high blood pressure, heart palpitations, headache, tinnitus, etc. A few days after using Normatone capsules health condition improves , blood pressure stabilizes and heart rate goes back to normal."

Is Normatone only for people with hypertension?

No. Normatone will help improve your health condition even when you don't have high blood pressure. This supplement is a great way to prevent hypertension. Honestly, it's a must have for each and every adult. Just think about how much excessive stuff there is in our blood vessels, thrombosis, cholesterol, sugar, metabolic waste, drug remains, alcohol and nicotine. All this builds up and clogs blood vessels, keeping blood from circulating normally. Normatone quickly solves that problem and makes the body function normally again.

I bet there are many who are interested, where can Normatone be bought?

We planned on selling Normatone in pharmacy chains, but we couldn't come to terms on an agreement with the pharmacists. It's easy to understand their side, they've been selling hypertensive drugs for many years that only relieve symptoms and make the real cause of the disease get worse. Of course, they earn a lot more money selling placebo drugs than selling an actual effective supplement that works.

So, we decided to sell Normatone online on an official website directly from its manufacturer. This means there are no third parties involved in its sale and no markup in pricing. Normatone can be bought for 5 times less than what it would have been sold for in pharmacies. Delivery by postal service is available. Normatone can be taken at home without seeing a specialist since it's a completely natural supplement. Of course, you have the right to not believe me, and continue taking the widley advertised drugs, but you'll never find anything quite as effective as Normatone.

Thank you for giving us the interview. Is there anything that you would like to personally say to our readers?

Actually, yes. I'd like to remind everything that hypertension is a cunning disease. You might not even be aware of the danger until it hits. Weakness, head spinning, headaches, ringing noises in ears or wheezing. Many people just chalk these symptoms up to be caused by overworking and don't seek help. Meanwhile, all adults happen to be a risk group, and this problem should be taken seriously. Normatone is the only correct modern way to prevent high blood pressure, improve health, reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke and stop spikes in blood pressure. On top of that, regular use of Normatone extends life expectancy by 10-15 years!

MODAKรˆKรˆ IFE

History of MODAKEKE Ilรฉ Ife Osun.

Modakeke is a town near Ilรฉ Ifแบน̀ in Osun State, South-West Nigeria, with nearly 500,000 inhabitants who are predominantly farmers and warriors. The town is about 45 kilometres from Osogbo, capital of Osun State and 90 kilometres from Ibadan in Oyo a state. Modakeke came into existence in 1945 after the fall of the Oyo Empire, below is a brief history of Modakeke town.

The whole of Yorubaland was thrown into chaos and confusion after the Oyo Empire fell to the Fulanis in 1835. The inhabitants of Oyo ran for safety and therefore were dispersed across Yorubaland, some founding new settlements and others, joining existing settlements like Ile-Ife. A group of Oyo refugees settled in Ile-Ife to begin a new life which unknowing to them will later birth the town called Modakeke.

On getting to Ile-Ife, they have already lost all their possessions and then took up menial jobs in the town. They also got recruited in the Ife army and it was through their bravery that Ife had its territory extended to Alakowe, its present boundary with Ilesa. They started growing and producing different types of food crops on farmlands given to them by their Ife people.

The then reigning Ooni of Ife, Oba Akinmoyero, received the Oyo refugees well and later gave them an expanse of land to live. The name Modakeke was adopted after consultation with the oracle which directed them to go to Ebu-Alako near Oke-Owu where they met a swarm of Ako (Stork) birds. The name was derived from the cries of the storks (Mo-da-ke-ke-ke-ke). This is also the origin of the appellation Akoraye (the stork has a place) and since the founding of Modakeke, eighteen traditional heads known as ‘Ogunsua’ had ruled the town.

valuable lesson

This water bottle at the provision shop is worth 100 Naira. 

The same bottle at a hotel is 200 Naira,  at the airport its 300 Naira and at some hotel  is 1,000 Naira Only 

Same bottle, same brand; the only thing that changes is the place.
Each place gives a different value to the same item.

When you feel worthless, change places, don't stay there.

Have the courage to change your circle of influence and go to a place that sees your value.

Surround yourself with people who appreciate your worth.
