On Saturday Feb 25th, the oba joined 201 other new Law students of the National Open University of Nigeria for their matriculation at Awa-Ijebu Study Centre.
Oba Adetona, who became the Awujale of Ijebuland in 1960, already has a degree in Accountancy in the UK.
Congratulations to the learned monarch, it takes knowing that you don't know to seek the courage to learn more and even more courage to enrol in the learning process. i hope my fellow Ibo brothers in Alaba, Balogun, Trade fair, Onitsha and Aba will emulate this great man.
ReplyDeleteLool...u dey find trouble o,u wan make dem association of Ibo Lib readers tear u down shey? Me ayam not dere o...lolz
DeleteNa today...publicity stunt...all na wash..dey used it to create awareness....d almighty Awujale will nva attend any yeye school in Nigeria...he said it sometimes ago dt he does not watch our local stations not even NTA..mtchew..
DeleteSeriously, i don't see d point. Or maybe he wants to defend himself when he has a case with d gods of ijebuland. Hahaha
DeleteWhy do i av d feeling it's Gbenga that posted this comment? Hmmm...
DeleteIdiot whch tribe u b?
DeleteDid d igbo brothers at alaba and other places tell u they want to go to school? Jealous fool. What's d essence of going to sch wen they've already made money, cos d smallest of them can feed u and ur family for life. Ewu ofe nmanu

Smart move!!! Unfortunately there is no defense or appeal before God. He thinks he can defend himself before God by getting a law degree before he zaps? I second @anonymous' comment. My brothers, its never too late to get a degree.
ReplyDeleteHe's the Awujale for goodness sake. Open University will grant him a 1st class eventually evn if he never attends a class.
ReplyDelete.....All is Vanity upon Vanity!!!
ReplyDeletehia!!!!! why, ok to fight his efcc and corruption cases by himself abi?@anonymous 12.28, which one is ibo brothers for this matter, how would the law degree add to the millions they make each day with little or no english at all, and yet with all your degrees and certificates you never even see................(fill in the gap) Onukwu!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda... 'has a degree in Accountancy 'FROM' the UK, not 'IN' the Uk. You're not prone to this level of gbagaun o
ReplyDeleteThere should be age restriction for some things. He should be retired or something. Dunno what to do at that age other than go to school?? Too much time on his hands. Hope he doesn't start getting old ppl sickness before the end of his course.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA THIS IS TOOO FUNNY BUT GOOD ON BABA SHA....
ReplyDeleteThe King doesn't want to die unfulfilled. It's a vindication for some of us trying to pursue and achieve what we strongly believe could have been achieved 10 years ago. It's about fulfillment. Very soon, we won't only say King Sikiru Adetona but also ensure we add LLB to it. "Kade pe lori, ki bata pe lese. Igba odun, odun kan ni o".
ReplyDeleteAlex Ekwueme went back to school for law after acquiring so many other degrees. The last time I checked, Ekwueme was an Igbo man.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing special that the Oba is doing that has not been done by so many others. The significance is that, it's never too late to acquire knowledge.
It's high time we stopped adding tribal sentiments into national discourse.
Nice one. The Quran says we learn from cradle to grave.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, what an inspiration you are sir. It is never too late to pursue your dreams.
ReplyDeleteLearning is a lifelong process. Well done Kabiyesi!

ReplyDeleteSınce he feels dats wats best 4 hım goodluck to hım
Nice one!
ReplyDelete@ Anon 12:28, Yorubas are known for their academic achievements, igbos for business acumen and hausas for farming/cattle rearing. Naija is blessed and there is no use down playing the achievement of an entire ethnic group.

ReplyDeleteA monarch with a difference. I read his autobiography and was so impressed with his candour, honesty and industry. He is not a perfect man but he is one comfortable with who he is. All the best sir.
ReplyDeleteBig up for the Awujale! never mind the sky is your stepping stone, the ljebus are proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI no dey fear, As the Agbakpodikeizu - Agbakwata mgba nabo 1 of Enugu state, I am fully entitled to state it as it is. We need to lift the ladder higher than we have placed it at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThats awesome!

ReplyDeleteShut the trap u call a mouth...ofemmanu bigots
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 12:28 pm - highly unnecessary and it always amazes me that there are still people like you whose brain cells cannot function beyond the realms of tribalism. Maybe you need to go to school too. Moving on, this is great, but who's going to grade his papers and such? You know he has to get all As right? Dem no born you well to give Oba C oh!
ReplyDeletethat is interesting, we learn till will die so ride on old man.

ReplyDeleteLinda u need to let comments go live automatically so when we reply we know the issues to address/comments to reply to. Not everyone has time to come back to an article to see what has been said after their comment has been posted. Just a thought.
