Recall that at Ooni's last birthday recently, a viral video where the only Olori in the palace in the past three years, Oueen Naomi was seen praying fervently for him, asking for grace to continue to to be a loving and caring husband to her and other Oloris comimg after her, circulated widely on social media. In the video, she prayed for God to bless Kabkyesi with more wives. As at this time, she already knew about Oba Adeyeye and Abike., and they 've already had an understanding, our source hinted.
Abike Jagaban, (born Basirat Tolulope Olowogaba) hails from Ijebu Ode, Ogun state, and she is not a new name in the social media space, thanks to the many controversies she had been involved in as a vlogger; the most-prominent being her long, messy fight with another female social media personality, Esther Tokunbo Aboderin (aka Esabod) who is based in Dublin, Ireland.
The latest gist however is that she has since become an apple in the eyes of Kabiyesi and is now a prominent face in the Ife palace. Our source even said on good account that the king may be formalizing the relationship anytime soon. It has also been confirmed that Abike Jagaban now spends more time in Nigeria than the United Kingdom, where whe was known to be based in the past few years. She has also been doing a lot to build a new, respectable image for herself as against the controversial, vulgar personality she used to be known with on social media. One of such was her honorary chieftaincy installation last December as the Bewaji of Itoriland by the Olu of Itori in Ogun state, Oba Abdulfatahi Akamo. Gists broke out then that the installation was influenced by the top Oba from Osun state.
Meanwhile, before now, Abike had been linked with a popular NURTW chieftain in Lagos, and more notably, a famous Fuji musician. How she wormed her way into the Yoruba monarch’s heart will be of interest to many who know her. But there were gists that a popular Lagos-based society lady and businesswoman who is known to be close to the monarch ignited their love flame.
However, many will cast their minds back to how Abike Jagaban had been a strong defender of the Kabiyesi, especially during those days when Esabod bombarded social media with several damaging allegations and malicious information about the monarch, including involvement in illegal mining, trafficking and stealing of artefacts. They can hold on to the belief that their relationship might have started long before today.. Abike strongly rebuked Esabod over her reckless utterances and verbal attacks on the monarch. It was a big war!
In videos that went viral, she hurled unprintable and abusive words on Esabod for stooping so low to unnecessarily malign and show gross disregard for the exalted stool of the Oonirisha just to satisfy her pay masters and sponsors. She also vehemently expressed her disapproval of Esabod’s attack on the wife of the Ooni. In June 2018, a video of Abike Jagaban and Esabod, fighting dirty in public with their clothes torn went viral on social media. The incident took place at Stratford train station in London.
Abike Jagaban shot into social infamy in 2015, after she slandered and tagged her former best friend, Jibike Tanni Olaribigbe as an adulterer. In a series of voice notes, which went viral, Abike had revealed that the child which Jibike, (who had a delay which spanned almost ten years before she became a mother), birthed belonged to another man, and not her husband. This scandal stirred a volcanic reaction from Nigerians around the world,
