TUESDAY FLAT OUT OPINION -Insecurity: Sending Orunmila And Ogun To The President    By Suyi Ayodele (Published in the Nigerian Tribune on Tuesday, June 9, 2026) https://tribuneonlineng.com/insecurity-sending-orunmila-and-ogun-to-the-president/   I don’t know who divines for the President. I also don't know who his prophets and marabouts are. But I wish to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to what Orunmila did when Death (Ikú), Sickness (Àrùn) Contention (Ìjà) and Loss (Òfò) waged a war of attrition against Otù-Ifè, where the Father of Divination lived at his Òkè Ìgètì home.   To overcome the problem, Ifá, through Ogbè Òtúrá, asked Orunmila to let go of his favourites such as: Eku méjì olúwéré (two smart rats), Eja méjì abìwègbàdà (Two big fish), Òbídìe méjì abèdò lùkélùké (two ovulating hens), Ewúré méjì abùmu rederédé (two heavily pregnant goats) and Elílá méjì tó f'ìwo s'òsùká (two big cows with big pad-like horns).     In the place of ...

Monday Lines  An Agenda For Yoruba Oba, Leaders By Lasisi Olagunju  (Published in the Nigerian Tribune on Monday 08 June, 2026) On Friday, November 1, 1878, a decisive war was fought in the north-eastern corridor of Yorubaland. History remembers it as the Jalumi War. It was that one-day battle that permanently halted the southward march of the Fulani towards the sea. One of the bitterest engagements of that war was fought in a place called Iba, a few kilometres off the Ikirun-Offa Road. I remembered that episode of Yoruba history when the oba of the town, the Eburu of Iba, Oba (Prof) Adekunle Okunoye, invited me to deliver his tenth coronation anniversary lecture last Thursday. We agreed on the topic: 'Old Crowns, New Worlds: Obas and the Future of Indigenous Leadership in Yorubaland.'  I told two friends about the assignment, and their responses were the same: how safe could that journey be with the Fulani around? They refused to accompany me. I did not find ...
