I first heard this phrase from the great late Yusuf Olatunji of a blessed memory.

[@peodavies]

There are many great stories to tell about our culture, our language and our heritage. Unfortunately, we are losing these very fast. Thank you for bringing this to the fore and let me add this, I learnt "Post-Proverbial" under Prof RemRaj as such, I am not surprised hearing this from him. Keep telling the story, the world wants to hear from great souls like you. My very best wishes

[@RemiRaji]

It was great to work with Ayo Adams who traced us to Ile Adegboro before we realised we have all been studying together in the Faculty of Arts, UI. The research material was waiting for the right person, and Ayo's passion was unmistakable. There is more to the Adegboro legend the remains and other versions of it still alive in Lagos and Benin Republic of today. Our riches run so deep to be taken for granted.

Thank you very much sir.

[@adebelgium1369]

Great work boss,to me maybe the proverb should not relate only to Ibadan in Nigeria that has also Oja Oba ....
not only Ibadan has Oja Oba

[@ayoadams]

Maybe or maybe not. Thanks for watching bro.

[@adebisiomotayoadekunbi4951]

Orowusi became the bale because his nephew Ogundepo who was the warrior and part of the founding 'patriachs' of Ibadan land whose turn it was to become the bale said, he couldn't sit still and not go to war so his uncle who he "purchased" should be made bale on his behalf. Ogundepos descendants and Ogundepos compound is still in existence. Pls, let's promote the right and correct history

[@hao_9388]

One thing though - being British that forced British accent is incredibly cringe. Whoever is narrating should speak freely it would make the video more authentic.

[@adebisiomotayoadekunbi4951]

Orowusi was not a warrior but Ogundepo was. Pls, let's get fact right

[@adebisiomotayoadekunbi4951]

Orowusi did not fight any war? Pls, let's get facts cross checked
