Hearing about this first time. Following....

The man was dethroned thrice and he returned twice.

Timi Lagunju heard this and knew the signs of the times. He ordered the curfew to be sounded; this kept every woman and small boy indoors, leaving every able bodied man alone in the streets. It was a sure sign of civil war, and the following morning, civil strife started. It was in the scuffle that Oyelude, the eldest son of Folarin, died. When Timi Lagunju had been dethroned and exiled to Ibadan, Oyelude's younger brother called Olunloye, was installed Timi and was supported by Ogunmola, the Bale of Ibadan. When he had been ruling seven years, Lagunju came back to Ede to claim the throne and was supported in his claim by Latosa, the then Bale of Ibadan. Lagunju succeeded in dethroning Olunloye and got himself restored as Timi. Soon after his reascension, the Kiriji war started; To Lagunju, that was godsent, for he sent Olunloye to that war as captain I of Ede host. Olunloye died in the War and Lagunju refused to allow his corpse to be carried into Ede town or be given a decent burial. But after much persuasion and wise counsel he allowed the corpse to be brought in and given a decent burial in his ancestral home. Lagunju never learnt from his-past experiences. No sooner he came back to the throne than he started his tyrannical ways. He would take no counsel from any of his people or councillors." When one of his wives offended him, he ordered that she should be killed in the public view in the market place where Ogun (god of iron) was worshipped. The Council did all they could to dissuade him from this barbaric act but he would not be dissuaded, he saw to it that the woman was executed. This execution led to the second civil strife; for the Council met again and decided that they could no longer put up with a ruler who had no pity even for his own wife. The Timi would not abdicate of his free will so he had to be forced out. Many lives were lost in the process. Lagunju took refuge in Ibadan as he did at first. After this second dethronement, Lansebe became the Timi. But nine months after his installation, Lagunju came back again and was supported by Ibadan forces under Are, the Bale of Ibadan. Again, Lagunju was successful in dethroning Lansebe and made himself the Timi again. This time he was worse than at the former times. As soon as1 he succeeded he employed drummers to give the townspeople an indication of his new programme. What, these drummers said was that Lagunju; would break the whole of Ede as easily as he' would break an earthen pot. The citizens therefore became restive and soon another civil war broke out. The immediate cause of this third strife was that a man called Lanloyin was alleged to have committed a crime. The king decided to punish him by having two hundred marks cut on each cheek. The Council thought the punishment was barbaric and they tried to dissuade him, But he refused to be dissuaded and saw to it that the punishment was carried out as he had ordered. Lanloyin afterwards escaped to Ogbomoso where he later, died of the wounds. Civil war followed directly and. once again Lagunju was exiled to Ibadan. This time he died there and was buried there.

It must be mentioned however, that this reign witnessed a great deal of civil war. The first eighteen years of the reign were peaceful but after that civil wars started. Ijesa forces insulted Ede and Ibadan forces, but this Timi did not appear to have taken any notice. Then Kelekun, a chief of his roused him to action, by telling him that he the chief was fed up with the insults if the Timi was that thick-skinned. He wanted to show the Ijesa hosts that his ancestors were brave fighters and he a worthy successor of theirs. Timi was unwilling to be outdone by a subject of his and thus be dubbed a coward. He collected his army and led it himself in person against the Ijesa raiders. The ensuing battle which was called Alagbara war and fought in the presence of all Yoruba forces was short, for the Ijesa forces soon turned tails and fled, thus Timi was victorious. Soon after the Timi returned home from this war, civil- strife the first in the-history of Ede, occurred. For the Timi, flushed with victory became a tyrant. He no longer took the advice of his council, refused to be pacified whenever he was personally offended by a subject and was in the habit of measuring out barbaric punishment like ordering execution without due/trial, ordering a pitcher of water to be tied around a man's neck and the man to be drowned alive in Osun river, or that Yagha marks be made on the checks of an offende. Even the Timi's half brothers were fed up with his barbaric methods and the townspeople became disgruntled. Before they resorted to rebellion, however, the council called the. Timi and told him they were not satisfied with his ways of government. The council expected him to apologise and promise to amend. But instead, he told them they had no power to call his authority into question. They therefore decided to use force and they went about it in the traditional way, of employing the drummers to drum round the town and "sing didatic songs. The following was the song they sang:
In the days of Arohanran, we were wealth)
Each bought at least seven shawls
Please note that
In the reign of Ajeniju,
We were not too badly off,
Each bought at least six shawls
Please note that;
In the reign of Lagunju, we are all famished,
Even foodstuffs are costly and we are underfed
Please note that.
You, Timi a despised Muslim
Are Unwanted in Ede; You have to go beyond Osun River.

He then, hurried out and immediately informed all the other kingmakers. The kingmakers had no alternative but to agree on Pegba's choice. They then told Pegba that they had agreed on his choice in the full consciousness that his choice, Sangolami, would oppress them but Pegba must be certain that their own children and successors would visit the ills on Sangolami's children and successors. Thus Abibu Sangolami became Timi after nine years of chieftaincy vacancy. During his reign, Ede showed sonic advancement, especially in the growth of Islam. He did much to propagate it and gave it the firm foundation, it has had in Ede ever since his is how, he did it. Whenever he thought that a subject of his was rich and influential enough he would telll that subject that if the latter could become a muslim, he would be given a princess, Timi's daughter for wife. Thus he used marriage alliances to secure adherents, for the muslim religion. He also used the device of making a rich subject a chief provided he became a muslim. With these two devices, the most impprtant men in Ede became muslims. The second progress registered during this period was that the subject towns which paid obeisance to Ede increased. It was during this time that llorin conquered old Ofa, and the reigning Olofa took refuge in Ede, where he was given a site now called Ofatedo (i.e. the Offa people colonised this place). Timi Abibu Sangolami gave the then Olofa two hundred hoes, two hundred cutlasses, two hundred, baskets, and two hundred of every instrument of household "utensils in order to make his new home easy to settle in. Thirdly, Ede gained a great deal of respect during this period. In fact from the new outburst of the enthusiasm, one would have thought that Ede was just being founded. Fourthly this Timi effectively checked all forms of stealing and burglary. If anyone was caught in the act of stealing, the Timi would.sell him into slavery and would also sell all members of his family. A few men having been made examples, all potential thieves were effectively checked.

Timi Abibu Lagunju
For about nine years after Timi Arohanran's death, nobody filled the vacant stool, because the kingmakers could not decide on whom to choose. The Town Council met at Pegba's house during this time. Pegba was a prince on the female line and as such had no right to ascend the throne but he was very influential. After nine years, he called the kingmakers together and asked them to decide on who was to succeed the throne. The kingmakers’ went to delibrate on the likely candidates. They all feared to make Abibu Lagunju (Sangolami) the Timi because he was known to be harsh and heady. They recalled his life story. He was a young boy during the Ibadan - Ilorin war. It was during the thick of this battle when hardly anyone could pass from one side to the other that Sangolami went to Ilorin. There he spent many years and came in contact with Islam. He took the new Islamic name Abibu, learnt the Koran from the, Koranic school and also learnt leather work. That was why the kingmakers were afraid to make him Timi. But Abibu Lagunju continued to worry Pegba for he thought the latter could influence the kingmakers. Pegba could not convince him by any explanation that he had no power at all over the decisions of the kingmakers, so he decidedto prove tohim by concrete: demonstration. Pegba invited him to come to his house at a time when the kingmakers would come in, and hid him in a place where he could overhear the .discussions of the kingmakers. Then Pegba sent to Ikolaba who promptly obeyed. Pegba asked Ikolaba whom they had decided upon for the vacant stool. Ikolaba replied that they had not yet decided Pegba suggested Sangolami. Ikolaba demurred and gave reasons why he taught Sangolami should not be made Timi. Ikolaba no doubt spoke frankly for he thought he was addressing Pegba in confidence but Sangolami overheard everything. As soon as Ikolaba finished his explanation, Sangolani came out from where he had been listening and asked Ikolaba wherein he had offended him personally. Quite rightly, Ikolaba felt he had been treacherously played out, and without answering Sangolami's question he turned to Pegba and expressed surprise and disappointment at his treachery.

Some things are meant to be private, I'll only tell my wife on how I spend the rest of my income after providing for the family on a need to know basis.
If, there is a need for her to know how the money is spent, she'll be duly informed but if there is no need for her to know, then so be it.
I'll also expect the same from her.

It will be nice if you guys cross referenced your history. The present day Saudi Arabia used to be in Iraq. Even during the lifetime of the prophet there was nothing like Saudi Arabia.

BabaIbo:


ignorant is not an excuse, ask and you shall get knowledge... can Buhari make that movement during the height of ramadan?

Really?
Why can't He make such movement during Ramadan.
So, you mean Muslims abandon all official duties during Ramadan?Schools and works inclusive?

I will end this with what I like ending my words with.

You must be Igbo.

chriskosherbal:
Am indifferent here but taking a deeper thought into this I think the bishop has point tho..

No point at all.
We don't know what Munday Thursday is, in fact this is the first time I'm seeing it.
I only know of Easter Sunday and Monday and there is no official duty on these days.

Empiree:
No. Just certain narrations. The basic Laws of Islam are mentioned directly in the Quran for common crimes and sins. I hope you had listened to or watched sheikh Albani's (ra) criticisms of sahih bukhari?. He had to weaken some sahih ahadith.

This is similar to what sheikh Adam Abdullah Al-ilory (ra)said, that there are some ahadith that can not be rectified. They are better done away with.

Don't fall for his antics, he is saying absolute rubbish.

That town is indeed somehow

The town is not somehow, they actually had the second Muslim king in the whole of Yoruba land.
Ede had the first.

PAGAN9JA:

Is this what your orisas taught you?
Ranting on a forum.

jrusky:
What did you expect when a town decided to crown no home training, misguided and Yahoo boy as their king

The Oracle that picked him to inherit his father's throne was drunk when he was chosen. I know this guy will mess up.

Good for Ede a fool will always behave like a fool. How earth will you now dumped your fore father lineage and embraced aboki idea if not a fool.

What a shame on Ede people. Systematically importing aboki authority over your forefathers land this guy is a clown. Pls who chose this boy among his father house to be a king? What a disgrace.

Hope you are not drunk?
wetin concern Iwo with Ede?

He it affects the nervous system, the brain precisely.

Watch the video, barking is a symptom of rabies infection, I said earlier that the virus infects the nervous system.
You should know once a virus infects a system, the default configuration of the system changes.
In this case it's the brain that has it's configuration changed.
I did this in Public Health.

Lol
It actually means let's stand on our agreement, even if we are far from each other.

PrecisionFx:



Rabies does not make people bark like dogs. It's an African myth.

It does ,the virus infects the nervous system.

I thought it was Fani Kayode's Dad it happened to.

agabusta:


Did I say anything about Katsina state? The parts I referenced were made bold for you to relate with.

We have consistently told you people to drop this foolery of Xtian/Muslim yorubas but you want to keep wallowing in ignorance. No wahala.

I don't even understand the Yoruba xtains/Yoruba Muslims I see on nairaland these days.
There is nothing like that, they are trying to create a caste/division system which never existed.
Only God knows what kind of spirit these people possess.

Jewelnutch:
People say Face Cap and I keep wondering, it's a hat or truck hat, baseball cap/hat, people in this country and settling for less.

It's actually a Fez Cap.
It's Igbo and Yoruba pronunciation that makes it sound Face like

Babalawosisfake:


you know nothing about jujuism, he might live close to a market where these stuffs are being sold and he can go there and buy them.

I can go to that market buy those things and make it look like I'm a real babalawo. that guy is a fake poo, a babalawo who cant speak yoruba is that one a babalawo. he clearly doesn't know what he's doing. and of course his character isn't priestly

tosyne2much:
Na people we dey find wetin for lost for their lives Babalawo go scam nah

Well be careful what you type without evidence.
I don't think he's a scam, because I know some of his spells and I am not a babalawo and neither do I practise Jujuism.

tosyne2much:
And the so called Babalawos continues in his quest to scam more gullible followers

I know that you will face the wrath of God one day.. Continue deceiving people ooo

Bros he don scam you before?

I don't know why people take it's guy seriously. He's just an ordinary hemp smoker. I've encountered him on different threads and I know he's empty.

In the main tine, you can send a mail to Jumia CS.

according to science, man only uses a tiny portion of his brain capacity. How can man create an absolute system with his limited thinking?....if he uses his full brain power, will he create an improved system or agree that this particular system of axioms is absolute?

This has been proven to be a lie ,man does not use a tiny portion of his brain.
Go back to your neurology Textbook and study how the brain works
