The respected revered monarch and one of the most prominent kings from Ogun State,
his royal highness, Oba Dr Adedapo Adewale Tejuosho, the Osile-Oke Ona
Egba, Karunwi III, clocked 28 years on the throne of his forbears very
recently and to celebrate the occasion, his organisation Oba Karunwi
Evangelical Movement organised the 28th hours praise marathon as a form
of thanksgiving. The royal father is an avowed Christian, who has for
several years now, proudly carried the flag of his faith very openly,
without fear or favour. The very lovable king, who is
a wonderful father to 20 plus kids, and the husband of 3 gorgeous and quite colourful Oloris (queens) was crowned March 20, 1989 exactly and this year is his 77 birthday.

Well it is clear that the king has had many momentous opportunities to showcase
his faith to the admiration of all. The only son of the 3rd Iyalode of
Egbaland, which is the highest cheiftaincy title a woman can hold in the
land, in 2005 when he was 67 years old caused to be removed from his
father's compound the Obatala idol, which caused a lot of anger against
him then, by the traditionalists. In fact another King then rose in open
opposition against him, castigating against going against the tradition
and culture of the land, that Oba actually died a year later. More
after the break.

in his life on the throne, he openly and publicly denounced and
renounced his membership of the Order of Freemasons. At this year's
evebt which marked his 28th coronation anniversary, gospel artist Tope
Alabi gave a performance of her life, at a point busting into a popular
dance step called "shoki".
Also in attendance at the event was Pastor
"papa" Ayodele Joseph Oritsejafor, the former CAN President, Senator
Lanre Tejuosho, the 1st son of the monarch and many others. Pictures
