Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Ijebus. They make their squares and their homes a pleasant place for all festivity – little wonder they are regarded as the revel of the earth and the masque of all merriment. Trust the Ijebus never to pass up a chance to make merry; this is why they are leaving no stone unturned to celebrate Olori Iyabo, the eldest wife of their king, the Awujale of Ijebu land, Oba Sikiru Adetona, as she clocks 80. Olori Iyabo will be 80 soon, and there are plans to celebrate the mother of the crown prince, Ade Adetona with great fanfare.
All efforts are being made to make the occasion a memorable one. Oba Adetona is also leaving no stone unturned to celebrate the beloved mother of his crown prince. Already, he has reached out to a number of rich and influential natives of Ijebu including the likes of Globacom boss, Mike Adenuga, who has touched his life in so many ways. Highlife gathered that the event is being planned to shake Ijebuland from the base to the foundation to the eaves.
