Government and their nonsense abracadabra. This is how they deliberately set the state on fire and create problems among the citizens.


Since the new recognized king is presiding over a small and a particular (odo oja) community out of the larger ikere Ekiti community , it is wrong for the new king to be bearing the title of Olukere of Ikere because that title automatically grant him power beyond his Odo-oja community. I won't be surprised if the Ikereland go up in flames because of this nonsense

The city now has 2 Kings... The real king is Ogooga and now another one Olukere

Based on history, Olukere of Ikere is the actual ruler of Ikere-Ekiti before Ogoga, who is a hunter, came.

They have been in the tussle for years...
