'Cos of Lanrewaju, I fought Tunbosun without knowing the cause of their issues' - Ademola Adelabu

Prince Ademola Adelabu a poet, researcher, historian and cultural ambassador to many traditional rulers in this interview touched on many topics.

[@kennyego9264]

Olotu Dele, I wanted to thank you for the recent interview you conducted with Mr Ademola Adelabu. It is, without a doubt, one of your best interviews. The depth of knowledge and insight that Mr Ademola Adelabu shared during the interview is truly remarkable. Learning about the history between him and the late Lanrewaju Adepoju was enlightening, and I appreciate the cultural and spiritual perspectives he provided on Yoruba history. His analysis, though at times daunting, sheds light on aspects of our culture that deserve attention. I believe Mr Adelabu is an invaluable individual whom we, as Yorubas, should cherish. His profound understanding of Yoruba cultures and spirituality is evident and contributes significantly to our collective knowledge. I commend you for bringing such meaningful interviews to your audience. Please convey my sincere thanks and gratitude to Mr Adelabu the next time you have the opportunity. May God bless him with a long, prosperous life. And to you, Olutu Dele, may God continue to shower you with abundant prosperity and happiness. Keep up the excellent work; we look forward to more insightful interviews.

Metaphysics is the study beyond the grasp of the senses. This Baba said so many things that were beyond me. Current oyo town was founded by Alafin Atiba due to Fulani invaders, we learnt old oyo could be traced to present kogi state. Aawe town in oyo state and Ojaa town where those towns that aided the creation of present and new oyo town and the old baale of ooja was elevated and he became the Ashipa of oyo. But the truth about Oyo Empire is that anywhere the Alafin is able to stay is called Oyo. This present Oyo town was founded in 1840 or thereabouts…

This interview is worth more than $100 per view, and you gave us entirely free. It is more entertaining, more enjoyable than any Nollywood movie. Thanks Dele

[@BabaObaUS]

Adedera was an enigma. He was my dad's friend but Pa Joe always respected him. I remember him visiting our place at Omofe a couple of times. Despite their friendship, he displayed his diabolical prowess to show my dad that igi imu jina sori at a function where both of them were invited as musicians. Who are you to confront Adedara...wa je iyan e n'isu. I can still vividly recollect one of his visits to our house where my dad was pleading with him to bury the hatchet and stop fighting Ige Adubi. Being a musician in those days wasn't a child's play.

[@C_H_E_T_Y]

I have been looking for him for the past 20 years!!! Please, I will like to let us all work towards a full production!!! Adeleke LALA from UK

[@seventhunder777]

0:01 This man is a Yoruba treasure. Please we need to keep stories like this in an archive. To the presenter, This might be one of your best interviews for a long time, and we need a follow up. I understand that some of his revelations could sound scary. but they are a mystery to those without the 6th sense. Fear not.

[@jidejohnson9449]

Daddy otoo leso. I am from Ode Ekiti. Their old people stopped over at Ode, but we're given land, farmland, which is called Agbado. But their young men went to Ado Ekiti. I am from Eregunrun in Ode Ekiti.

[@tayoanuodo541]

You are very correct. Agbado had older men and Ado had younger men. There is also Ereguru in Ado Ekiti. I'm from Ado Ekiti.

[@abbzque]

Nice one sir ma good to confirm this lovely

[@engr.juliusakintayoowoyemi6743]

This man is an authority. Excellent all round. Long may he live.

[@popsonjaiyesimi7670]

This is awesome. The power of words has always been supreme and Jesus is the word. JESUS IS Lord, Hallelujah

[@VeriteEquite]

This is Dele Adeyanju at his best. I ❤ the mastery displayed by DeleAdeyanju in this interview.

[@abisolamercy6015]

Very educative . Can you please bring this man back

[@kennyego9264]

I love this man. I can watch this interview over and over again. May God Bless him. Thank you Olotu Dele.

[@OlatunjiOlalekan01]

Hmm, this is awesome, mystery and commendable indeed. Prince Ademola Adelabu is a blessing to the Yoruba race . He has deeper knowledge of Yoruba history and very straightforward human being. One could see that he confirmed the spiritual power of Baba Adedara Lojaoba and which had been substantiated by Baba himself through the interview held with Baba by Agbaletu. My sincere appreciation goes to Dele Adeyanju and his crews. I will rate this interview as one the best for 2024 . God bless you Dele .

[@deboraholawuyi7054]

This papa is a great man , may the Lord grant him long life. My brother this papa won you in this interview.

[@gabrielatilola200]

This man is so smart and vast that he is able to connect bits of stories he heard and relate it to linguistic connections and cultures of Yoruba neighbors. We don't see anymore metamorphic changes expected to continue which can be scientific evidences of these changes he has talk about.

[@juliusayanladun901]

This is the richest Yoruba literature I’ve ever heard or seen. We need to get a second version that is strictly focused on spirituality. I like the Bible link, I can relate with the Bible traces very well. I also believe that there are some facts he’s very reluctant to expose. If anyone wants to hear the real facts from him, it should be without camera. I’ve googled the Ajiran town in Lagos and it’s true. Thanks for bringing this to our notice. I like listening to elders. It’s one of my hobbies.

[@ajalasulaimon4956]

Please we need more historic information on yoruba and his continents especially from this writer and researcher Prince Ademola Adelabu

[@nissifarms]

This is DEEPEST interview I have seen!

[@adenikeshemfe6798]

Brother Demola enle ooo Nice seeing you on Utube,your voice never fade. We were neighbours decades back at Fakorede’s house,3 Araromi lane Oke Padre Ibadan. Long may you live ooo

[@funmiuki9937]

Wow how good can this be we need to record all this so our children will have this history

[@Nadoches]

You need to do part 2 interview. Let this man focus only on spirituality and religion.

[@OLAKUNLEOJO-IDOWU]

Agbaletu, E ku ise. Baba Ademola Adelabu lived in Offa not far from St. Mark's Anglican Primary School, Offa.

[@clementojediran9340]

Beeni, this is a true story. The full history should be written down please.

[@danieladereti6115]

God bless you sir. Am a great grand son of obalufon ogbogbodirin. I know my house. You want history come to the house you have it

[@yinkaogunkanmi9883]

This Baba should never grow old

[@Asaholah9]

Love this. Dele Adeyanju. Agbaletu...well done. I allign with some deep mysteries revealed by this man. However, to the mundanes- he may be seen as heretic, but only the deep could understand what he's talking about. I come across your Agbaletu occasionally, and I must commend your skills, style of interview, efforts , goals & objectives. Try to arrange a symposium or programme that will join or link people of like minds on different areas of life . Those who want to join on music or any of your programme will do so. Like this particular programme is a mixed grill- many things therein ✍️God bless you. ❤

[@olufemiabidemi4708]

I am pleased to know of you now, great great Baba. may almighty forever shower his blessing on you and your family. Please Baba write books write books Yorubas. need you to write books. Thanks

[@rasheedadekola9984]

Sincerely, t really appreciate the intellectual knowledge of this Baba Ademola Adelabu, may Almighty God continue to bless you more sir. But, point of correction sir, music of the late Alhaji Dr. Sikiru Ayinde barrister (MFR) the most talented musician of our generation that you made reference to. It's not like you said it. B'cos the music you made reference is title "MATURITY " second side of the music for the tribute of the late sage Chief Obafemi Awolowo . Alhaji Agba said Kaluku loni tire lara nibi to ti ya, ofo eniyan o ni se elomiran nibiti o ti ya, sebi gbogbo yin sa ni malam karikari, eniti ile mo ba ni barawo kini e nponle e ranso yin nibiti o gbe ya o, e fun omo ni feeder, e jeki omo o ye ke, won npe yin, won fe ra oja, e so igba yin o. We heard that the music was sang due to the rumors that one of Alhaji Agba was dated another man and having extra marital affairs. The music wasn't against Alhaji Agba sister at all sir. Almighty Allah answered Alhaji Agba prayers b'cos he survived her mother. May their souls continue to rest in janatu firdaous. Ina lilahi waina ilehin rajihuna. More power to your elbow Agbaletu. You're great 👍

[@ikechukwuobi249]

This man is DEEP. As an Ife Born, I can relate to so many things he is saying.

[@adekunleadeleye5371]

I will like to meet with this spirit like father if he is still alive. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge physically and spiritually.

[@jideogundele680]

With all this spiritual knowledge, he should have honoured the invitation by Baba Olanrewaju to join the esoteric association. Ki lo tun ku😅😅😅❤❤❤❤

[@adefisoyehonjide-pk7su]

This baba is fully loaded. I mean loaded to the brim. Please let us make something out of him now before it is too late for us. He is an encyclopedia of........ Let's see him as a project. He is just too much. A word is enough for the wise.

[@jlty6163]

Nice 1, we are waiting for part 2, I love this man, sha. Epe fun wa sir

[@jideogundele680]

[@tajudeenaismaila8992]

[@idowuoladoye7945]

Baba, you're truly incredible. kudos to you

[@FolaranmiMichaelOlaoye]

Mr Dele please let the old man be interviewed with proper record, am convinced that all he said are true, I haven't seen any one among our elderly that knows the Yoruba history this old man revealed.Kudos to Baba and Adeyanju

[@ayodotunjolaoso3807]

Please let him write a book . He is very rich in culture

[@adewaleadelesi5870]

Sir please, these man should write and produce a book for the future of the yoruba race.

[@ajalasulaimon4956]

Please it will be a beneficial opportunity if this interview and information could be considered for a record purposes and future history for upcoming children, even as I am almost 60years most of what I'm hearing now I didn't hear it before from any sources.

[@olivealadejare7276]

What this Daddy is saying about LIFE is TRUE!!!!. Life is Strange, Mysterious, Precious,errand,gift. Life is a RECORD.

Truly, wisdom is different from intelligence. I doff my hat for this man

[@alafiaoni]

Agbaletu, thank you sir for all you do. This particular show is the best you have ever done. The baba is very deep, our generation needs so much he is talking about. Please bring baba back and let him talk. We can't continue to lose such babas to death. May you never go down. Your shows are fantastic. Thank you again!

[@oluseyeojo3726]

I have been watching and listening to your interview program. This one is fantastic, and I pray that may God's grace and blessings continue to abide with you always

[@abrahamodare2421]

Olootu! Kudos to you and your team for the wonderful work you guys are doing. Thank you! I would like you to research the truth behind certain Youruba myths like , 'Egbe', Afeeri, Ka'nako Ay'eta, and the likes to establish the authenticity of such claims and demonstrate them. Your platform can be used to reorientate our elders to be proud and open about those powers if it actually exists, and juxtapose it with the wrstern technologies of today. They should be proud of such powers if they have and can demonstrate them openly, and also know that they have an obligation to pass them to the next generation.

[@woye2010]

Excellent interview. Full of knowledge and very deep. Keep it up. Well done

[@salmanwumi]

I still remember vividly how that incredible Ewi rendered by this man that used to open transmission at BCOS serve as a big inspiration for many of us while growing up.Besides,this man is a walking encyclopedia.

[@idowuelufisoye]

Whenever I listen to or watch your interview, I am always engrossed that I won't know that I have been listening for long. God bless Mr Dele Adeyanju.

Dele, this interview is a blast, pls keep the good work on.

This world is a deep mystery that can never be understood

How can we do a whole production for this man, to record all he knows....If he dies with all this knowledge, it will be a disaster...This may be a YEAR LONG PROJECT.

[@Challyboy913]

True

[@oludarefaseun8511]

I agree. Dele Adeyanju can use new internet knowledge to get this into written production

[@aminaolayinka5246]

That's the problem with Africa. They will have loads of power and take it back to their creator

[@deeray9447]

Agbaletu, I enjoyed every bit of the interview. The guest had a lot to share, but you seem not to be interested. Please, try to bring him back some other time and without much interruption, so that a lot of people can learn more from him. Thanks for the great work that you're doing.

[@marketingatlas]

Mr Dele Adeyanju, Wowww, you are doing a great job. Thank you for bringing all these accounts to the fore, musical and entertainment. They are educational. Kudos to baba Ademola Adelabu. Agba ko tan lorile. Is there a way that these detailed Yoruba history of origin and the wide coverage of areas could be adequately documented and written down for generations yet unborn. More grease to your elbow my brother….Ibiyinka.

[@aramide1818]

I have always believed that if not because we are lazy, we need a thorough geological survey of many places in Nigeria to determine our link and connection as people.

[@SeunIdowu]

I love what you do with your page. The quality of guests and conversation is excellent.

[@samuelfavour8552]

Enjoy this interview so much that I couldn’t eat again by the time am done listening to this interview because it was already past 11pm. But my question is how old is this man that he knows all these stories of almost every part in nigeria? How did he get to know? Who told him all these stories? Am not sure if he’s up to 100yrs and how old is Yoruba land? I have so many questions to ask before I can believe most of these history. Very captivating though….

[@williampowers2109]

Olootu, please, I would like to meet this man.

[@otaelosmart366]

I think the story of adebara and ayinla was where gbenga adeboye got his inspiration of Laisi Abesupinle from

[@yettiefash7425]

Exactly what came to my mind too 😅

[@AgbajeUmarfaruqoladimej]

I swear exactly what's in mind😂

[@akinogunlola4431]

Late Alafin Lamidi Adeyemi in one of his interviews also corroborated this man's story that an Alafin once ruled Ile -Ife but that King Adesoji Aderemi deliberately removed or omitted to disclose the fact when the military government requested for the documentation in the 70s or so.

[@ayankunleagbolade4004]

This BABA knows a lot. We need Self governance to protect our Race from distortions coming from an entity called Nigeria.

[@bayodtokshambolu2858]

It is one of the best, most interesting interviews ever. It is well presented; keep up the good work! Baba is very knowledgeable, but I need clarification on his combination of Christian and traditional beliefs!

[@olawuyiolaitan2074]

I had to take a book and jot down some of baba's revelations. Some I have heard before so he confirmed it while some are new. Well done sir.

[@bolasalak7360]

This interview with this Baba is really deep. Research needs to be done to confirm the veracity.

[@tajudeenalaba4167]

I can’t rap my brain around this interview , it’s too too too rich in culture and tradition , can Agbaletu aid Baba in writing a book on this history , culture and tradition of Yoruba , we would be glad to support the sponsorship .
