Born on Monday, July 10, 1916 to Mr. Jeremiah Dehinbo Ogunde and Mrs. Eunice Owotunsan Ogunde, in a small ancient town found in the heart of Ijebu province . It is home of the delicious, Aadun .
Moreover, Ogunde was an outspoken contemporary political commentator, who was ready to risk the possible destruction of his Theatre in order to fight for the freedom of his people from alien rule. Today, the narrative has changed, colonialism has ended and the new masters are egocentric-Nigerians. These egocentric-Nigerians are politicians who continually rule us through the shackles of poverty, insecurity, poor infrastructural facilities, dungeons called roads, darkness called light, and imprisonment called freedom, among many others. Further, these sets of people occupy the biggest offices in Nigeria, from the political office holders to economic bourgeoisies.
“Once upon a time, during the primordial age, there lived a king in Yoruba land named Fiwajoye. This king was so powerful and popular that the people of his kingdom loved him so much. During his time as king, the Yorubas had wealth and riches. There was money, pedigree, jobs for all and sundry. Crops bore good fruits for harvest and plants’ leafs were green. Pets like goat, ship, and hen were surplus. Traders were making profit.
And so, Ekeji-Oye became an enemy of the Yorubas. He lied and deceived the Yorubas and he succeeded by changing their minds against Oba Fiwajoye. The kingdom turned into disarray and the land was in deep chaos. Not long from this period, Ekeji-Oye cunningly took the staff of Oduduwa from the palace where it was kept.
Oba Fiwajoye and a few of his people were whisked off Yoruba land under captive of Yeye-Iloba. They were used, maltreated and beaten as slaves. They were turned into messengers and gardeners in the palace of Yeye-Iloba. They were handcuffed and ruthlessly dealt with. House chores like sweeping, washing and cleaning of the palace was a daily routine for the Yorubas under their new foreman in the palace of Yeye-Iloba. Oba Fiwajoye and his people were engulfed with sadness and humiliation.
30 years already,...God is wonderful
Rest on Baba.
Handsome man!
