InsideOyo.com looks at five things you probably did not know about the late Monarch:

  • He was born in 1879 during the reign of Adeyemi 1 of Alowolodu, who was the last independent Alaafin to rule the Oyo Empire, little is known about Afolabi’s younger years in the public domain.
  • Though little details about him emerged after his death, the late monarch was reportedly a modest farmer, who traded his produce at Arigidana, Baba Ode in Itesiwaju Local Government Area before he was called to occupy the throne.
  • He ascended the throne after the demise of Oba Majaro in 1981 through the unanimous consent of the kingmakers.
  • He was 102 years old when he became the king.
  • Throughout his 39-year reign, Afolabi didn’t steal the spotlight but contributed greatly to the growth and development of Ilualand.
