Headline: Doctor Tells What Killed Adelabu
“Heart was ruptured; left lung torn; several ribs broken and arm bone fractured.”
A Medical Officer who was a classmate of Alhaji Adegoke Adelabu at the Ibadan Government College in 1931 revealed today during a special inquest that the cause of Alhaji's death was due to a ruptured heart.
The Medical Officer, Dr. Abiodun Adesanya, who was on duty at the Shagamu General Hospital, stated that Alhaji Adelabu succumbed to injuries following a motor accident in a Syrian’s car on his journey from Lagos to Ibadan.
On the left is a photo of Dr. Adesanya, who confirmed the post-mortem examination of Alhaji Adelabu’s body.
At the top right is the image of Syrian businessman Albert Younan, an associate of Alhaji Adelabu, who survived the crash, while Adelabu and two of his relatives perished instantly. The picture was taken in Lagos before they departed for Ibadan.
Younan was later charged with manslaughter.
Below is a faint image of the car wreck from the fatal accident.
Following the untimely death of the "Lion of the West," as Alhaji Adegoke Adelabu was fondly known, riots erupted. Many conspiracy theories surfaced, alleging that the car's brakes had been tampered with to cause the accident.
One thing remains certain: the legacy and brilliance of Alhaji Adegoke Adelabu will continue to echo in the history of Nigeria's politics.
May his soul rest in peace.

A SHOCKING STORY!
WHAT CAN I DO?
I got married to a man that I really love and trust sixteen years ago but there is no child in the union till the time I am writing to you.
To cut the story short, my husband had road accident in year 2019. He sustained injury in his hand from the accident. I was taking care of him as wife before one of his elder sisters told me that she wanted her brother to leave ibadan for a better medical attention in their hometown in Ekiti state.
I instantly refused, but I later accepted to when his family told me that they would not take easy for me if he eventually died from the injury.
I could not go along with him because I am a teacher in a public school in Ibadan. My husband also a teacher in a private school in Ibadan.
I used to called him regularly to know how thing was going and I used to go there often to check on him.
The management of the school was paying him since 2019 until school management wrote him letter that thay would stop paying him salary if he didn't show up.
Later on, after his injured hand healed, my husband decided to leave Ekiti and come back to Ibadan in year 2012 because he didn't want to loss his job. But to my suprise, on getting to ibadan, he didn't come to the house we built. He started living in a house build by one of his brother who is abroad.
I fought to know why he decided to leave the house we build and started living at a house built by his brother. His excuse was that my mother once mentioned that he (husband) didn't have larger part of the money use to built the house, but I know he just
cooked the lie to have something to say. Despite that I beg him to forget and forgive.
Yet, he did not come back to house. I used to visit him at the house where he is living and talk together until last few months he started to avoid me.
Since year 2019,I have been living alone in the house we built together.
And, till now I don't know why my beloved husband could leave the house for me and started leaving alone.
For the time I was visiting him at the house where he is living, I didn't find any strange woman with him that I can call his wife, And, till now I have not.
I really need your advice, I am dying of depression.

HISTORY OF IGBOMINA PEOPLE:
ANCIENT HUNTERS, SKILLFUL WOOD CARVERS AND HIGHLY-ADVANCED CLOTH-WEAVERS, ENTREPRENEURS AMONG THE YORUBA ETHNIC GROUP.
HISTORY
The name “Igbomina” is derived from Ogbomona, “Ogbo” being the mystical cutlass given to him by his father, Oduduwa. The cutlass was used as a mystical pathfinder with which Orangun (Oran-mi-gun) Fagbamila Ajagun-nla founded his kingdom which today is known as Igbmomina.
The Ìgbómìnà spread across what is Eastern Kwara State and now Northern Osun State. About 90% percent of these people live in the present day Isin, Irepodun and Ifelodun local government parts of Kwara State, while the remaining occupy Ora and Ila - Orangun areas of Osun State.
Ìgbómìnàland is adjoined on the West and North West by major neighbours such as the Oyo-Yoruba region, on the South and South West by the Ijesha-Yoruba region, on the South and South East by the Ekiti-Yoruba region, on the East by the Yagba-Yoruba region, and on the North by the non-Yoruba Nupe region South of the Niger River.
Other minor neighbours of the Ìgbómìnà are the Ibolo sub-group of the cities of Offa, Oyan and Okuku in the West.
This sub-group of the Yoruba people migrated to the present place of settlement from various locations and at different times between the 14th and 17th century A.D.
Majority of Igbomina clans claimed to have migrated to the area of present habitation from either Ife or Oyo, the two main nucleus of Yorubas. The progenitor of the Igbomina was a prince of Oduduwa.
According Yoruba-Igbomina tradition the area now called Igbomina was given to and founded by Orangun of Ila as his own share of inheritance from his grandfather, Oduduwa, the purported progenitor of the Yoruba race. According to this tradition, Orangun was the second son (and the fourth child) of Okanbi, the only son of Oduduwa. He founded Igbomina through the use of Ogbo. It was this Ogbo that was supposed to know the way to the bank of River Niger, the ultimate destination of this itinerant way-farer; hence the name Ogbomona (that is, Ogbo knows the way) literary translated (corrupted over a time) to Igbomina with the passage of time.
Apart from those found in Ila area, Igbominaland is more precisely aligned into sixteen administrative parts in Kwara State. The areas are Omu-Aran, Omupo, Sare, Oke-Ode, Igbaja, Ajase, Isin, Oro, Oro-Ago, Ile-Ire, Ora, , Oko, Ola, Esie, Idofian and Idofin.
There are known compartments of Igbomina towns and villages in few other locals of Kwara State, including Apado in Iponrin area, Jeba in Lanwa district, Apa-Ole, Joromu, Fufu etc., in Akanbi district and Ogbondoroko in Afon area.
Isanlu Isin or Isanlusin is an ancient town in Igbomina-Yoruba land of Kwara State. It is one of the prominent towns in the Isin Local Government Area of the State.
The Igbominas are often grouped into two; the Igbomina Mosan and Igbomina Moye.
The Moye group includes Oke-Ode , Oro-Ago, Ora, Oko-Ola, Idofin and Agunjin districts.
Mosan group comprises areas such as Omu-Aran, Ajase, Igbaja, Isin, Oro, Share, Esie, Omupo, Idofian and Ila-Orangun.
The cord that firmly holds the Igbomina clan together exhibits in their inseparable dialect, origins, values, culture, institutions and aspirations.
All across Igbominaland, the habit of eating Ewu iyan and Ikasin oka or oka adagbon, is familiar. These meals are a remake of the overnight leftovers of amala and iyan, a delicacy that adds refreshing flavours of delicious tastes and aromas to the meals.
The “new” taste is highly cherished in especially Omu-Aran that its inhabitants have this refrain " ewu iyan d'Omu o dotun" , meaning the re-make is no way inferior to the fresh one.
Among the Yoruba, Igbomina people posses the famous Elewe masquerade which is an Egungun representing the ancestors during special festivals.
Igbomina people are hardworking, intelligent, industrious, widely travelled, with great exposure and highly focused.
LANGUAGE
Igbomina people speak a Central Yoruba dialect called Ìgbómìnà or Igbonna, a Yoruboid language that belongs to the larger Niger-Congo language group. Igbomina dialect is akin to the adjoining Yagba, Ilésà, Ifẹ, Ekiti, Akurẹ, Ẹfọn, and Ijẹbu areas that are classified under Central Yoruba dialects of the larger Yoruboid languages.
ECONOMY
The Ìgbómìnà (Igboona or Ogboona) people are ancient-hunters, renowned agriculturalists, skillful wood carvers, expert leather artists, entrepreneurial people.
The heterogeneous Igbomina people who used to be one of the highly-advanced cloth-weavers are occupying the north-central portion of the Yoruba region of South Western Nigeria.
In terms of social relations, the people are highly communal and rely heavily on the values of kith and kin, emphasizing love to one another and providing support where required.
In the cosmopolitan cities, the Igbomina breed concentrates in identifiable settlements retaining the ideals of their origin and reliving the values of the fore bearers.
In major cities all over Nigeria and in Lagos for instance, the people dominated the merchandise trading and they are found in high density of Lagos Island, Apapa, Mushin, Agege and Alimosho Local Government Areas.
They are largely enterprising, hard working and humble in disposition, two virtues which have given them such phenomenal economic success that their wealth as a people is now legendary.
TOURIST ATTRACTION:
Igbomina land is also a proud home to many tourist centres. Many of these are even recognized by different states and the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The first national museum in Nigeria established in 1945 is located at Esie. A standard Zoological Garden where people troop to in order to enjoy their holidays share the same fence with this museum.
Also in Esie are over 800 carved stones, mostly representing human figures, have been found around Esie in Western Igbomina, Ijara and Ofaro villages. It is not known who created the sculptures, but they appear to have been created around 1100 AD.
Ayikunnugba Water Fall at Oke-Ila as well as Owu Fall at Isin local government of kwara state are beauties to behold.
