A recent incident in an inter faith gathering in ibadan, has left the people of Oyo State talking. Rasheed Ladoja, was seen ignoring Alaafin ikubabayeyes hand shake, who is by far his superior and leader. Ladoja who failed as a governor also failed to respond to a friendly "Good morning handshake". The peace loving people of Oyo State are shocked by Rasheeds apparent rudeness and unwise behavior.
Remember that Ladoja was impeached and sent out of office in shameful way. Can we now say Ladoja is towing the path of destruction for the second time? Can we say there is a curse following him?
The incident has sparked a debate about culture, respect, etiquette and the boundaries of traditional institutions.
The Alaafin and olubadan has had cordial relationship for years. The fabric that formed ibadan is oyo hence the relationship is solid and beautiful. I expected a better behaviour from Rasheed, who was a former governor and senator. I expected him to be wise, smart and intelligent. But atimes age and experience is not wisdom.
If I were Ladoja, I will go and ask forgiveness from Alaafin knowing that a curse has come upon him for his rude act!
