In the light of the above, it is my desire to run a series on the chronicles of leadership in the Oodua Republic. In retrospect, how did the Oodua children suddenly become sheep without a shepherd? My Series will discuss individuals that have appeared in the history of Yoruba from the pre-independence Nigeria to date. How have they fared? Who is a leader and who is not.

I will touch on the crisis that erupted in the Awolowo camp after the demise of the Sage. Why and how did it affect us? The Roles of Late Chief Bola Ige, Lateef Jakande, Baba Ajasin, Archdeacon Alayande, Baba Abraham Adesanya. The personality clashes between Chief Ige and Chief Ayo Adebanjo, the rivalry between Pa Ajayi Laniwun and Late Bisi Onabanjo.

I will talk about the emergence of “rookie leaders”- The roles of Chief MKO Abiola, General Olusegun Obasanjo, the failure of Ladoja to successfully prosecute Omisore, the assassination of Chief Ige and many more.
