This is how you start your tribal tirades…..
….like now and as always on the very first page.
You are literally calling this Oba a rapist.
You are a disgusting scum, worthless and an evil human being.
Your reasoning is beyond comprehension.
You are so much of a “hate-weight carrier”
You said your “momma” is Igbo meaning you are half or quarter Igbo.
You are not Igbo but a “wanna be Igbo”.

I can tell you this ….no sane Igbo or any tribe would call this Oba a rapist.
….as no sane Yoruba or any tribe would call a respected Obi or Chief a rapist.

You are a bastard, uncultured because you cannot even identify the tribe or nationality of your own “papa”
You are ashamed of your own papa.
You were raised without your father’s support or presence obviously.
You are not a normal human being and you should seek a psychiatric and every medical help available.
You and likes are not doing this forum and website any good;
….that’s why the membership on this forum is dwindling;
….and that’s not good for the business.
You are in insane and shame on you…..

i feel sorry for you,( miss scorpion), you are wounded, its never the fault of the yorubas that you are in such predicament, those guys that fu,,cked the life out of you couldnt marry you because they saw these traits of hatred, jealousy ,and anger in you. you will forever remain  like this wandering in the wilderness of life looking for someone to rescue you wounded lion. sorry get a life,,, hatred would only keep you in the jungle where you are.,, even the highly respected obi of onitsha attended the party,, so who the f..uck are you keep ranting only the stupid, myopic , uneducated igbos would support you on this shameful attitude of yours,, the intelligent ones would never support this barbaric manner of yours,

That's an Ijebu God right there.
An emblem of prestige without the slightest government patronage, be it Military or Democratic, Federal or State.
He has reigned over corporate Legends as the great Adeola Odutola, Mobolaji Bank Anthony, Sonibare, Mike Adenuga (glo), Subomi Balogun (FCMB), Oba Otudeko (Honeywell group & FBN),  S. Adegunwa (Sterlin Bank), A.S Sule ( limca), etc.
That's a revered figure right there, next to the class of Elizabeth II to the Ijebus. Witness the Ojude Oba once & u'll not doubt them.
