Oba Adeniran Adeyemi II , was Alaafin of Oyo , between 1945 and 1954, until he was forced into exile by the Action Group led government of the Western region, as a result of the death of the Deputy leader of the Action Group , Chief Bode Thomas and also for having sympathy, for the rival NCNC of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe.
Chief Bode Thomas ( 1918- 1953 ) became the deputy leader of the Action Group , he later formed Nigeria ’ s first indigenous law firm called- Thomas, Willams , Kayode and co . i. e. the trio of Bode Thomas, Chief Rotimi Williams and Chief Remilekun Fani Kayode.
Bode was a brilliant lawyer, but also very haughty and arrogant . He was made the Divisional Council Chairman in 1953 , while the Alaafin of Oyo was a mere member . On his first appearance in council , after being appointed chairman , all the council members stood up for him in deference, to welcome him except Oba Adeyemi II , who for cultural reasons, could not show deference to anyone in public.
Bode Thomas rudely shouted at the king, for having the temerity and audacity to disrespect him. “Why are you sitting when I walked in, you don’ t know how to show respect?”At that time , Bode Thomas was 35 years old and Oba Adeniran was in his 60’ s.
The Alaafin felt very insulted and nonplussed; he said “se emi lon gbomo baun ?” ( Is it me you are barking at like that?) . Oba Adeniran just told him “Ma gbo lo baun ” ( continue barking ).
Oba Adeniran Adeyemi II , was father of the incumbent Alaafin , Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III. The confrontation happened on November 22nd 1953 . Bode Thomas got home and started barking ! He barked and barked like a dog all night until he died in the early morning of November 23rd 1953 . He cut short his promising career. He died without fulfilling his potentials .
Have a historical week ahead . # History

Wow. This is quite an interesting piece of historical knowledge. I think this deserves to be put on homepage.

The young ones who litter here and throw insults around whenever the picture of Alaafin or Ooni is shown ought to learn from history. Humility and respect for elders and other people's tradition is key.
