 | | The late Chief Lamidi Ariyibi Adedibu |
Chief Lamidi Ariyibi Adedibu, controversial Ibadan politician and self-styled garrison commander of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), passed on this morning at the University College Hospital(UCH) in Ibadan.
Before his eventual passage, the octogenerian was rumoured to be seriuosly ill, eventhough he often denied it.
PMNews gathered that the late Adedibu had battled the ailment that finally killed him for sometime now. Prior to his death, the late Adedibu was said to have vowed to ensure Senator Kamoru Adedibu, his son, becomes the next governor of Oyo State. As at press time, details of his burial arrangement remained sketchy. PMNews findings further revealed that the late Adedibu was in Lagos this morning for a medical check-up. Some of his aides, who accompanied him to Lagos told PMNews that it was while returning to Ibadan that the octogenerian decided to see someone at the Ibadan office of the Nigeria immigrations Service. He reportedly collapsed at the immigrations office and died, before been rushed to the UCH. Sequel to his death, commercial vehicle drivers and motorcyclists took to the streets, attacking passers by and residents. Also there was confusion at the Molete residence of the deceased, as thugs and politicians unleashed anger on innocent motorists and passers by. Governor Alao-Akala was said to have gone to Abuja this afternoon to brief President Umaru Yar’Adua on the matter.

11 June 2008 17:02May your Soul rest in Peace. Now come to think of the reality on ground, this is the time for real politics in Ibadan and not the Amala type that Baba is alway known for.
Fatai Lasisi
11 June 2008 17:10Halleluyah, Ibadan will be peaceful at last. The tyrant is dead and finally peace in a city that deserves it. When men live as if they are God, well the end is now known. I hope others will learn from it too. Obasanjo should take a lesson from this. What will he be remembered for if the table were turned? It is indeed a moment for sober reflections
Tunde Onadipe
11 June 2008 17:11So this man can die. Really l thought by his actions and comments death will be scared of him. People like him who play God are still very much around and such people dont know how to learn. But one thing is clear no matter what you have you cannot spend more than what belongs to you the remaining belongs to others– whether you like it or not that is the truth– ADEDIBU has left everything now. The obasanjos, iBBS and others beware
OTIS
11 June 2008 17:14OOOOOH CAN ADEDIBU DIE???, I THOUGHT HE IS THE STRONG MAN THAT WILL NEVER DIE…….. GOD GOD GOD, YOU SAID THAT WE ARE LIKE A GRASS TO BLOSSOM IN THE MORNING BUT IN THE EVENING IT IS NO MORE, WELL PAPA ADEDIBU, MAY YOU SOUL REST IN PEACE THAT IS IF YOU WILL NOT RESURRECT IN DEATH AT THE NEXT ELECTION IN NIGERIA, BUT I KNOW YOU CAN NOT, REST IN PEACE
Tunde Onadipe
11 June 2008 17:19Nigerian leaders our money is in your hands
Use the money you have to develop others through schorlarships, investments, direct financial empowerment, and creating jobs for others. In this your last days do something that you will be remembered for as legacies for the people
'LAYIWOLA JIMOH
11 June 2008 17:21From ALLAH we all came and to him we shall all return. All human beings shall have a taste of death no matter how highly placed you are. Adedibu’s death shoul be a lesson to all that everybody will die one day and will certainly give account of their stewardship while on earth.
Let’s all thik and do good while on earth so that poeple can speak good of us at death.
Ayo
11 June 2008 17:23Great news……I rejoice with the good people of Oyo-State.

11 June 2008 17:24Good riddance to bad rubbish.Halleluya.
ADEGBITE MIKE
11 June 2008 17:27Vanity upon vanity. Alah is great. Glory be to God Almighty. So, Adedibu could die.
Oyeyabi Olusola
11 June 2008 17:32I cant remember ever shouting “opeee ooo” (great!) when I heard of someone’s death, and that is exactly what i did when i saw this.
if Adedibu can die, then other Adedibus should remember the popular yoruba saying “iku to pa ojugba eni, owe nla lo n pa fun ni” (the death of one’s mate is a warning signal). may 2008 bundle all of them away!
babacontainer
11 June 2008 17:33This is really a wonderful news. Oyo state shall begin to experince a true politics.Let us beware of all Adedibu tugs because they would have nothing to feed on
Teju Oyewole
11 June 2008 17:34For God so Love the Ibadan Poltics that he killeth Adedibu Hurray…..
this is a great lesson for all other syncophants remaining on the surface of the land.
May his soul rests in peace if God wishes sha.
kelvin osa- okunbor
11 June 2008 17:34it is indeed a new chapter in the politics of oyo state, now that the garrison commander has gone home. adieu, old man, generations yet unborn will try to forgive you for your brand of politics that shortchanged the people of the pace setter state.i hope politicians in the state will learn great lessons from the passage of this PDP so called leader, if indeed he was a leader of whatever sort. he will be remembered for thuggery,violence and negative values of oyo politics.
DeeJay C4
11 June 2008 17:37BURN IN HELL MUTHAFUCKA! May all those who worked for you, die in agony. Fuckin bastard. All U Nigerians that love kissing ass and overcelebrating underachievement will face a worse fate.
I have no sympathy for him and his family and friends or well wishers.
Evil people hardly ever die, so when one dies I have to celebrate dat shit.
yanju olowo
11 June 2008 17:37papa adedibu, you were a strong man during your life on earth, but death is powerful, which anybody will go through.
Rafiu Sanusi
11 June 2008 17:38I will not beg to disagree with all of you. I am vehemently disagreeing. Talk no ill of the dead. Baba Adedibu was the only politician helping masses. While you could not see the so called decent politicians, baba was available for us to provide Amala, school fees to poor children, market stalls etc. May his soul rest in perfect peace

11 June 2008 17:46It is clearly the end of an era and a new beginning; not only for the people of Oyo State but the Nigerian body politik. One chalartan down, how many more to go? Is it commiseration or congratulation….just thinking….
Abel Orukpe
11 June 2008 17:48I thought Adedibu was going to live for ever . So he died. I am praying that God should start judging him immediately ,because he tore Oyo State apart when Obasanjo was the president of Nigeria. My sympathy goes to Tokyo ,his numerous amala thugs,Governor Alao Akala ,who helped in distabilising the Pace Setter state. We are waiting for those who planted evil in that state to follow him immediately . Rest in peace if GOD allows you but for me no sympathy.

11 June 2008 17:50This is the begining of a new thing in Oyo state and Nigeria as whole. How I wish this same thing will happen in Imo, Abia and Anambra state where the likes of Iwuanyawu, Ojo Mmaduekwe and Uba will be eliminated naturally.

11 June 2008 17:52THANK GOD FOR HE IS EVER FAITHFUL.REST IN PEACE THAT IS IF YOU ARE GOING TO REST

Bola Ade
11 June 2008 17:53Please speak no evil of the dead, some men are like Pharaoh and Judas that are destined by God to be destroyed. So it is not a fault of theirs. So Obasanjo “lo sora”
ADELO BadMus
11 June 2008 17:55It is quite unfortunate that Chief Adedibu Lamidi died without knowing GOD at all. Chief Lamidi Adedibu, a political lunatic thought the whole world and Oyo-state in particular is in His control.How can a mere being be thinking irrationally as if he was God? I never believed He(ADEDIBU) can die like fowl.He can not rest in peace because of his evil deed and HIS COLLEAGUES that are yet to die.
I say a big congratulation to Oyo-state and ibadan generally. It is high time Oyo-state regained their peace since the only scally-wag person is gone. No evil man will enter the kingdom of God.
Oyo-state by now should start thanking God for the great thing he has done for them.Adedibu,you can never rest in peace and your evil deed will definately follow your children where ever they are.Amen
Alex Adeleye (Dublin)
11 June 2008 17:56If the voice of the people is truly the voice of God I can imagine what is in stock for this man up there. May God forgive him of his wrongdoings.
TY
11 June 2008 17:57THIS A GREAT LESSON TO ALL NIGERIAN THAT ARE HOLDING UNTO ONE POST OR THE OTHER AS IF THE END WILL NOT COME, I WANT TO ANNOUNCE TO YOU THAT AS THIS TERRORIST OF IBADAN LAND PASS AWAY LIKE A WIND SO SHALL EACH AN EVERYONE OF US WILL GO, REMEMBER THE LATE ABACHER, DO GOOD BECAUSE OF YOUR SON’S AND DAUGHTER AND TOMORROW.
WELL RIP THE EVIL DOWER OF OUR TIME.
Abbey
11 June 2008 17:57Should i weep or should i Cry? May his soul find peace………………………………………….but we can now live normally in Ibadan again.
Badmus
11 June 2008 17:58May his soul rest in peace. I besiege the good people of Oyo State to forgive all his wrong doings. Oyo the pace setter state will now move on to greater heights whether people like Alao Akala likes it or not.
David Amuwa
11 June 2008 17:58The sudden demise of Adedibu has just confirmed to me that God still listens to Nigeria. Less than 24hours back, in a discussion, someone said that if Adedibu remains alive, his son currently at the N/A would be the next governor. Another discussant vehemnetly said if that is the condition, then Adedibu will be no more before the next election to impose his son on Ibadan indigens. The discussion did not leave the recaltrant Nigerian dictator, Olusegun Obasanjo out of it. As for me, I do not want Obasanjo to die without being brought to ridicule. This is what God must do for Nigerians. Anyway, Adedibu’s (I hate attributing to him all the big names) has once reminded me of King Solomon’s confession: “The world of vanity”
Laolu Owolabi
11 June 2008 18:00No one should rejoice at the death of another. It is a price that is reserved for us all and cannot be seen as punishment for our Deeds on earth. The good and the bad will all die. What is important is what we leave behind. History remains to judge us all. Across the divide, there is a consensus that the man was generous and honest. Honest in the sense that he says it as he sees it. What you see is what you get. Rest in peace and may peace reign in Ibadan my homeland.
Eddy
11 June 2008 18:01Haaaaaaaaaa, so Adedibu can die…. i am shocked. He owned everywhere in Iwo Road and decides who sells where (ijebu,Oyo or Ibadan). You will tell God how u shared the land.
niron ogunoshun
11 June 2008 18:03i learnt not too long ago that the strongest element ruling our lives is not man against man, but the ideas, ideals, concepts which all turn out to represent a belief system. yes it is true, adedibu is dead but what about the belief system which for over 6 decades he had successfully imbedded in many of our folks? what about the way of life that he had seeded into their bloodstream? what about the attitudes? are these dead?
my fear for my beloved oyo state now is trully more in his death than in his life; unless we begin a cleansing and bridging process.
sleep not oyo, his ideas in his numerous seeds are all over land. did obasanjo not once say baba was his father too?
one consolation though…..that the evil that men do lives after them

11 June 2008 18:03OK, NOW I KNOW THAT THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT.
THOSE BLOOD WILL BE WAITING FOR HIM AT THE GATE.
MAY YOUR SOUL CONTINUE TO BURN IN HELL FIRE

11 June 2008 18:05He will always be remebered for his evil deeds. This is a lesson to all corrupt, sycophants and megalomaniac politicains. We dont care about you

11 June 2008 18:06Thank God!!!! Peace is coming to ibadan at last. Let the useless man Alao Akala know that his issue will be visited too….. congratulations the great Ibadan land
OSAMO DARE
11 June 2008 18:06Afterall, we are mortal men and the ephemeral nature of human beign. Iam extremely happy for Ibadan People and the entire Nigerian.At last,this is a testimony that power belong to God.For me the like of Obasanjo and other power mongers should begining to reconsider their steps.Afterall,God is sovereign and we are just mortal men!
Adedibu, may you be rewarded according to your deeds while alive.
OLU KUJORE
11 June 2008 18:06WELL, HAD ALWAYS KNOWN GOD IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN MEN…………… MOREOVER IT SOMETHING TRIVIAL THAT OFTEN BRING DOWN POWERFUL MEN………. I THINK THIS A GOOD & GREAT LESSON TO BE LEARNT FROM. HOWEVER I WILL STILL LIKE TO REMEBER HIM FOR HIS GOOD DEEDS, IF ANY.
Augustus ceasar N.
11 June 2008 18:06To GOD be the Glory, so eventually this tyranny died, One has thought that he is greater than death, well it goes to show to others and his followers that Death is the ultimate in life. As what ever one does he will go one day, may his soul rest in peace that is if he has any SOUL.( one).
Kola Arowolo-ARE
11 June 2008 18:07Late Odolaye Aremu, the Dadakuada Crooner from Ilorin, Kwara State of Nigeria praised Ladmidi Adedibu about 20/25 years ago this way: ADEDIBU, OMO AJE T’ORAJA TO NBERE ENI, A GBA KOBO MEJI NINU TORO(Toro was 2.5kobo), ONI NKAN KOO, ADEDIBU GBAA, ADEDIBU LO SI OJA, O KO ADIRE BO BI OMO ONISE NLA, BEENI KO JI, KO GBE, KO SI RAA, AGBAKO NI ADIRE SE……These occultic praises and similar ones summarises the personality of the late politician AND portrayed greed, force, injustice, and god-like audacity which which the man ruled his political empire. The elites and educated sons and daughters of Ibadan will now heave a sigh of relief… Adieu….IDAMEJI IBADAN TI WON N PE NI ENIKAN…….SUN RE O……..
OMOSIMUA, FUGAR
11 June 2008 18:07May your soul rest in peace. May your departure bring sanity to Oyo politics and indeed Nigeria. May Nigeria never breeth your type again. OBJ, now that your garison commander is gone, where lies your strength? As our cantoonist (Ghana Must Go) would say = OBJ, I wish your mother had remained a virgin. Good ridance to bad rubish indeed.

My congrat to the people of Oyo State, my thoughts with his family, and the beginjng of hell on earth for his cronies and the awaited liberation of govt house at Agodi. Obe so. Look out for those that will be absent at his funeral!!!!!!!!!
alani nofiu
11 June 2008 18:15It was over the bar for the man. Other political tyrants - like alias politics of ‘do or die’ should now be ashamed of himself. I wish obasanjo reads people’s comments in evening paper and see what will last him - ‘death’ . When good people died, people were always sober and pray for their souls to rest in perfect peace. I don’t think this man deserves it because he had killed many souls both in Ibadan and outside because of his dirty politics. Oyo state should be happy now and live in peace. All bad politicians who have no mercy for the downtrodden masses should die like fowls. amen

11 June 2008 18:19DEATH IS FOR EVERY LIVING SOUL. BUT THE AGONY OF IT IS WHEN YOU LEFT NO GOOD LEGACY FOR YOU CHILDREN.
ADEDIBU IS REMEMBERED FOR HIS LOW MENTALITY,THURGERY,CORRUPTION ,ENEMY OF GOOD CONSCIENCE AND DIE HARD LOYALTY TO FURISH MAN OBASANJO.
IN FACT HE IS THE EPITOME OF DISGRACE TO THIS NATION,HE IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO HIS GENERATION

11 June 2008 18:20Definitely, Adedibu is going to hell, this is a lesson for Obasanjo & Co. to repent their sins, take forgiveness from Nigerians, so that they will not died like a fowl one day. A word is enough for a wise.

Baba (NY, USA)
11 June 2008 18:29With great delight I read some of the comments above. I share your feelings, especially because I am a true born of OYO STATE and IBADAN in particular. I would however defer from most people that want to put all the blames on the Late Adedibu, I think the so called Elites in Ibadan should share the greater percentage of the blame. What were the likes of Olunloyo, Akinjide, Rasidi Ladoja, Chiefs Akinyemi, Akinyele, Balogun, Adeojo, and other prominent sons and daughters of Ibadan thinking when Adedibu was reigning like there was no other reasonable and talented politicians in the Land. We should not forget that ” Enikan ki je awade opo eniyan lonje Jamoo” Adedibu ran a successful “political family” albeit like a tyrant, but no one I say no one was able to withstand him. Why was Ladoja removed like nobody? Why couldn’t Balogun, Adeojo and Akinjide withstand him? All because he knew how to play the politics. He knew that he had to work with people, he fed the hungry, he helped the needy. Why Akinjide with all his money was too classy for the poor, Ladoja did not perform well as a governor, Adeojo believed he could become governor only by using thugs. Noooooo, what we should do in Ibadan is to start respecting the grassroot, the drivers, motor part sellers, market women and let see if the Elites would do something positive for the people. As a Christian, I do not believe in praying for the dead. But we should start now to remove all the bad legacies of Chief Adedibu. First, recall his son from the Senate, his in law from the senate and banish Obasanjo from Ibadan. Thanks.
Aderonke
11 June 2008 18:29NAWA OOOOOOOOO, so this man can DIE, But I think this New could be a lesson for the Powerless Politician people that called themselves Powerful people. INFACT GOD IS GREAT, UNCHALLENGEABLE GOD THAT CAN DO AND UNDO.
Jumsie
11 June 2008 18:30It is appointed unto man to die once, after that judgement. For everyone occupying a leadership position in Nigeria remember
that one day you will be no more, and you shall be remember for whatever good or evil you have contributed to the Nigerian economy, politics, education and life of the masses. If you are still alive today, take the advantage and make amends.

It is not right for us as Muslims to rejoice over the death of others but pray to Almighty Allah to forgive them (if it is possible). We, the indigenes & residents of Ibadan should come together now and forbid further Dictatorship in Ibadan for a brighter and better future of the city and the state as a whole.
Walu
11 June 2008 18:35IGP please for enough peace to reign in Ibadan and environ, please throw away the key to the jail where those suspected criminals are lock until PROPER justice is pass in LAW court.
Baba, you have come and conquered in your own way, the king that reigneth and tenure was smooth&peace will never be forgotten, and vice visa RIP
People dont be happy over his death, it’s an inevitable for all living things.. Time to Born, and this is Adedibu’s time to Die!!!!!

11 June 2008 18:37ADIEU|||. UNTO HIM WE COME AND UNTO HIM WE SHALL RETURN.
IT WAS VERY, VERY, VERY SHOCKING AND UNBELIEVABLE TO HEAR THE DEMISE OF THE DEPARTED HERO. JUDGE NOT, PAPA ADEDIBU HAD COME TO FIGHT, EITHER WON OR LOST IS LEFT TO INDIVIDUAL.
MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF THE DEPARTED HERO, TO THE PEOPLE OF IBADANLAND AND OYO STATE AND TO ALL NIGERIANS HOME AND ABROAD. WE ALL HAD LEARNT ONE OR TWO LESSONS FROM YOUR EXISTENCE, EITHER GOOD OR BAD, THE VIEW WILL BE PERSONAL AND POLITICAL, BUT EITHER OF YOURS, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, ALHAJI LAMIDI ARIYIBI ADEDIBU DEPARTED THIS LIFE AS AN HERO, ACHIEVER, CONQUEROR AND A WINNER.
MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH GRANT HIM HIS INFINITE MERCIES. WE ALL LOST A RARE GEM. WE SHALL ALL MOURN YOU TILL WE JOIN YOU. I SEEK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS AND MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH REWARDS YOU WITH AL-JANNAH. WE LOVE AND GONNA MISS YOU. VERY PAINFUL TO SAY BYE BECAUSE OF YOUR MANY GOOD DEEDS WHICH SUPERSEDE THE UGLY ONES.
LETS BE FACTUAL, REALISTIC AND NON-PARTIAL ABOUT PASSING COMMENTS ON THIS DEPARTED HERO. HE IS A WINNER AND HERO OF OUR TIME. A RARE GEM. PLEASE, KINDLY KEEP ME POSTED ABOUT THE BURIAL ARRANGEMENTS AS I WILL LOVE TO PAY MY LAST RESPECT TO THIS GREAT LEADER OF OUR CENTURY (darulsallam_info@yahoo.com)

Where was this God of yours when the man was terrorizing the whole Oyo state?
Please let’s have some sanity and stop shouting God this God that. The man survived playing the politics of his time and brutal as it was, he died in his own time of old age.
Taiwo
11 June 2008 18:45Its so sad that every1 is rejouicing at adedibu’s death? how can a single entity hold a whole state with population as much as oyo’s to ransom? was he dat powerful????????? anyway i rejoice with the people of oyo and hope in the nearest future will not allow an illiterate like the old pig LORD OVER THEM

11 June 2008 18:55they say it’s not okay to say evil of the dead.and i ask, what good does this person deserve? a man that has no pity even for himself.please let everyone air thier views truthfully and let us all learn.my advice: i am not selling Rotary club, but i’mn in love with thier 4way Test.let me remind everyone as i do not see thier boards all over any more.1. IS IT THE TRUTH? 2. IS IT FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED? 3. WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENSHIP? 4 . WILL IT BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERNED?
THESE, I SAY, ARE GOD’S WAYS. WE DON’T HAVE TO BE RELIGEOUS. WITH THESE , YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE FAIR OF GOD IN YOU. THEY SAY WE SHOULD NOT JUDGE. PLEASE ASK THESE QUESTIONS AND RELATE THE ANSWERS TO ADEDIBU. YOU HAVE NOT JUDGED, BUT YOU CAN THEN SAY WHETHER YOU’LL LIKE TO BE LIKE HIM. I REST MY CASE
olaitan
11 June 2008 18:56Baba Adedibu lived as a great man in his state,country and even in this world, not even all , he was not a young man but dies at a very old age , we also should be praying that we should all live long life and properity. well, i believe death is inexcapable to all creators, so we shall all die one day somewhere. I pray his soul rest in perfect peace!

11 June 2008 18:58Can this man actually die? Where were his tugs and Federal might he rellied on to do and undo? This will actually be a great lesson for those who believe that ” with them all things are possible politically”.
Now, Akala should be aware that he is only accountable to Ibadan people and not Adedibu again. His rotten teeth must definitely chew with care. A word is enough for the wise

11 June 2008 19:01this is great and a big relieve for the people of oyo state and ibadan in particular. a lesson for the PDP leaders in SW, at least a better democracy could be practised and not the commandolike demoncrazy we had while adedibu lived. long live oyo state. long live nigeria

11 June 2008 19:03I just prayed that the likes of Adedibu will not surface in Oyo State again. In the second republic, we had somebody like him, his name was Busari Adelakun. I hope having men like that in all republic is not a curse on Oyo State. Anyway, I wish Alhaji Ariyibi Adedibu soul’s to rest in perfect peace, thats if all his past deeds will allow that.

11 June 2008 19:18what a day in the life of the Yoruba race adedibu is no more I guess we should roll out the drums and celebrate the death of the old fat pig imagine that old for nothing man who never valued anything the yorubas stands for drag our collective image and integrity in the mud of time.Anyway it is gone forever I hope we can learn from this and not allow such a misfortune to lord over any of our people again.LONG LIVE THE YORUBA RACE.

11 June 2008 19:25Good news it may be that the ‘Garrisson Commander’ of Ibadan politics is dead. However, it shows how small the brain of the educated elite if OYO STATE is in allowing an illitrate thug to rule supreme in the time when development was most need. Where is Akala going to hide? At last the Court of Appeal can deliver a judgment without fear of any reprisal.

11 June 2008 19:29Adedibu is a concept. others will rise after him in Ibadan with the same Idealogy and Political mentality. The death of an Individual in Ibadan Politics does not stop the tempo. we are yet to see who the new gladiator will be in Ibadan. my hope is that the sucession game would not draw blood.

11 June 2008 19:36A man that is as strong and wicked as adedibu should not have died just like a chicken. I thought he would turn to a rock or tree that all the motherfucking thugs will adore for the rest of their lives. Nigeria rejoices as the shit thing just passed away. Now, we want to experience true politics and no other motherfucker like him should exist.
You motherfuckers shall dies and Nigeria will have peace.

11 June 2008 19:47It is a taboo in Yoruba land to rejoice at a person’s death, but I think that just like the day Abacha died, Ibadan people should take to the street in their Sunday best and rejoice at the long overdue riddance of a monumental rubbish! The challenge now is for genuine change seeking Ibadan indegens, nay Nigerians to rise and effect a change. I can not but pity though people like Lam, Tinubu, Akande etc who in an act of unbelieveable, even downright, sucidal desperation have chosen to side with Adedubu. Finally, the waiting list (1) Obasanjo (2) Babangida (3) Saraki (4) Anenih………..

11 June 2008 20:21what a legacy. Rest in peace Tthis is a great lesson for all leaders and family of ARIYIBI that nobody speak good of him . many sympathiser stomach their comment as there is nothinh than to present in late house. Leaders, think big, it is just 6 foot.

11 June 2008 20:30While I pray Allah to grant him Aljannah,I also pray for those who have posted negative comments here about Adedibu that Allah will forgive them.The man is 82 years old and he’s old enough and have achieved even what government is some level cannot achieved.Free foods,scholarships and money to people in needs.
The so called elites should emulates his good deeds.Baba Adedibu made Governors,Senators, both federal and state legislators ,local government chairmen,political appointees and obas.
May your sould rest in perfect peace.

11 June 2008 20:33what a legacy , that public figure died and people are jubilating. this is a big shame for ARIYIBI family and our country leaders(Nigeria). Many will present as they dont have choicce. Leaders think big, and use this as an example because of children that u will leave behind.

11 June 2008 20:33I thought Adedibu will live forever. Little did i know that even the self acclaimed baba could be cheated by death. Good riddiance to bad rubbish. I pray this kind of fate will befall every one that has held Nigeria hostalge in the past they will know no peace until they die unceremoniously. Satan am sure is eagerly awaiting Adedibus arrival to hell fire. Others in his category should be on the watch cos thier reward will come faster than they could imagine.

I think the death of Adedibu is a blessing for Oyo state and Nigeria at large.

Low and behold, look at Abacha, look at Adedibu, OBJ is next, I predict a shameful death. All he mouth, all the money, all the connections now he lay motionless like a coward that he is. Satan now has a new tenant welcome home Adedibu,

11 June 2008 21:34I can’t believe Baba is dead. I really appreciate God for him, he didn’t die in pain atleast he travelled to Lagos today, means he was concious today. I don’t want anyone to be happy at his death ‘cos you don’t know when you will offend God, he has tried, 80years in this century is really an extraordinary blessin’. I wish Chief Adedibu whatever he deserve from God.
It is time for all to learn lesson(s). When Pa. Abraham Adesanya died people were sad, Chief Ariyibi L. Adedibu died and people have started jubilation. I hope the wise can learn a lesson from that and leave a good legacy but don’t condemn anyone. Shallom

Renounce all the evil altars you have built.After death, it will remains only you and your creator as every human will face judgement.You will account for the destinies of several millions of Nigerians that you wasted.Please beware, the life is vanity. Your wickedness may be telling you otherwise. Wherever Pa Adedibu is now, I believe he will be regreting the life he lead.I am not in anyway judging the death.

In Niger Delta…Ibori, Odili, Alams, Lucky Igbinedion, In Anambra Andy Uba and Chris Uba, In Enugu State Nnamani, in Lagos State Bode George, and many others. These thugs in PDP maimed and kileed a lot of people and had police protection. Your days are numbered.

Also, let others who are behaving like Adedibu go ahead. We shall not talk but we will see their end is near.

It is good riddance to bad rubbish and for the others waiting in the wing to follow him. All others who have a hand in the murder
of BOLA IGE are going to join adedibu soon before the seventh anniversary of Bola Ige’s assassination.

Now people of Oythe of state rejoice over his death, not only Oyo every other state celebrate and thanking GOD like did for ABACHA,
Fellow Nigerian, let’s continue to pray GOD will hear cry of his people, more head will roll again OBASANJO it’s better to go to REDEMTION CAMP to confess, CANAL LAND and tell GOD ALL YOUR EVIL DEED(IT’S NOT TOO LATE BABA OBJ lean from the past ABACHA and the recent ADEDIBU.

May he continue to rot in the hottest pit of hell and be satan’s best friend.
I don’t need to answer the ones that said we shouldn’t rejoice. Someone already quoted the good book.
I am going to go get drunk tonight. Best news of the year. Heck, I’ll go buy a car, just because I am so happy.
Maybe, just maybe there is hope for the country. Nahh, scratch that. More of them need to die.

11 June 2008 23:51I Knew death was so near this man who rated himself as God,he with the help of obasanjo silenced eminent oyo state elder statesmen,he boasted and got a governor of a state impeached,he brought in thieves into power,many lives were wasted,many children dropped out of school,amala and ewedu became the business of d day in ibadan,i once had the singular honour of meeting Senator Ladoja here in london at oxford street and we both lamented about the decay in governance initiated by the garrison commander,i being an ibo man,encouraged him not to give up and that God would visit oyo at his own time and now is the time,the same way God removed abacha for us ,he has done it again,i dont rejoice at his death but it baffles me when my father;s mate is ruining a state.Now to Akala,if u like run to the president of united states,END TIME IS NEAR! REST IN PEACE!

12 June 2008 01:07This is to prove that God is sovereign over all men; what is man and who was adedibu if not the power behind him i.e obasanjo who will one day answer the call like him. This istime to think and repent if he has conscience at all. Congratulations to good people of oyo state for a new era in politics. Adedibu’ children should try not to follow the way of their father;
G- BABA
12 June 2008 01:12The Saddam Hussein of Ibadan politics is gone , His corpse should be dragged on the streets of Nigerians in full glare of the People he oppressed , and his remains fed to the dogs , His wives and children should be tormented and tortured as thier father did to many people . And also his Governor should be impeached.Let his DNA never prosper and that Idiot of a son he has in the senate should be thrown into prison.

12 June 2008 01:23May your soul rest in pieces. So you can died, where are your Gods and your BABALAWOs? Can’t he, Lamide, save his life with Oyo State Government money? Where was Alao Akala that provided N5m for his treatment some weeks ago . Whatever you sowed you will reap. You have another query to answer in front of God, I already knew that you are not going to heaven. I pray that God will forgive you. But I want Lamidi’s family to know that they will not have peace until they ask for forgiveness from those their Amala Baba had offended.
I congratulate Chief Ladoja and others. E TI REYIN OTA YIN.

12 June 2008 01:31All those rejoicing Baba Adedibu’s death should remember that they will also die one day.As for me I pray to Allah to forgive Baba his shortcomings.Nigeria politics in general will surely miss his contribution.

12 June 2008 01:57uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ori miiiiiiiiiiii oooooooooooooo. Adedibu don die ooooooooooooooo. Akala where is thy strength o. Taofeek, where is the rod o? uhhhhhhhhhhh, OBJ o, ya person don die o. So, Adedibu can die. The GOC of Ibadan politics. Sanity is back to our land. Peace has finally knocked @ our door. The word of God’ll not fail. Those that the peace of Jerusalem(Nigeria) will surely perish. It’s a dawn of new beginning. Happy New Year to Sons & Daughters of Oyo State

12 June 2008 02:10Odo ti gbomi lo. Ibadan ku orirere.Wanted! men who cannot be bought and intimidated by ordinary mortals the likes of Adedibu.I bet you another like him is lurking arond the corner.Remember Eruobodo!
Femi Olatinwo
12 June 2008 02:18I always believed that God never sleep nor slumber. I believe others will learn from Adedibu, if refused to learn from SAnni Abacha.
Nigeria belongs to all of us, and is a big same to Adedibu Son”Senator”, if people jubilating death of your father.
Is a same, Alao Akala should learn from this as well.

12 June 2008 02:30This is the end of the road for the weak man of ibadan politics.Death is the end.only the weak operate in violence to achieve their aims.He has no legacy to celebrate except violence,huliganism and a band of area boys with NFA,[NO FUTURE AMBITION].ITS GIVEN UNTO MAN ONCE TO DIE AFTER JUDGEMENT.This will teach other politicians in kwara that God has the final decision on people.Rember we are debtors.Kwara will be librated like oyo state.No more Amala politics.

12 June 2008 02:56It is the will of God for Baba Adedibu to pass away at this time, I pray God will be with the family he left behind.
Yemi
12 June 2008 03:29OHHHH NOOOO….WHYYYYY!!!!!
He is meant to be ridiculed before he died….it is not good to talk ill of the dead, but not the likes of this mare-mortal-calling-himself-god of Adedibu…The last time Nigerians celebrated a death like this was Abacha….other evil so-called-leaders..WATCH OUT!!!
When the owner of the air you are breathing calls for it, you will leave Nigerians money for them…so the balance billions you have will only be used to celebrate your death…what do really want (have billions and people happy you are gone, or just enough too to be comfortable and take care of the masses and ensure peace, and be blessed in death?
Naija peops!!! be relentless in ur prayers, and we all know He answers our prayes…Thank you lord…2 down, many more to go…Your work is not yet finished in Nigeria…

12 June 2008 05:57The man looked exactly like his behavior. He is extremely ugly. May God forgive me if it is a sin. How can somebody be so mean.
I live in Us, so I am seeing his picture for the first time, God will bless the reporter that uses this picture. They delibrately took this one and decided to use it when he expires. thanks meeen. Good job.
The man is a mother fucker african, he can go to hell and burn to ashes for all I care. Adedibu must be called THE ORIGINAL BASTARD OF IBADAN> OMO ALE LASAN LASAN> IDIOT> ROT IN HELL.

12 June 2008 09:01H-A- LLE- LU- JAH, H-A- LLE- LU- JAH, H-A- LLE- LU- U-U-UUU- JAHHHHHHHHHH. WHEN THE WICKED PERISHED, PEOPLE REJOICES, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEF THE HONOURABLE THAT CAME ON A.I.T. NEWS HOUR YESTERDAY DOESN’T KNOW. HE WAS SAYING THAT ADEDIBU IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE, HE CAN DINE & WINE WITH D MIGHTY AND THE POOREST. BUT I DONT BELIEF THAT AND HE SHOULD HAVE KNOW THAT AS HE WAS SPEAKING YESTERDAY, PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING HIM. wELL WE ALL KNOW THAT HE IS SURELY A LOYAL STUDENT CUM FOLLOWER OF THE LATE GARRISON COMMANDER. I LOOK AT THE RYTHM OF THE PEACEFUL AND REJOICING MOOD OF THE PEOPLE OF IBADAN AND I COULD RELATE IT TO IS THE DEATH OF ABACHA (PEOPLE REJOICE WITH THE DEATH OF A WICKED). CONGRATULATIONS MY FELLOW ODUA PEOPLE OF IBADAN

FEMI
12 June 2008 09:20politics for him was about what he can benefit from it . He had no concerns about upliftin the masses through good governance. Oyo state politics was decided in his sittin room . He delibrately sidlined the inteligensia who could chalenge him instead he create a brand of semi educated ‘leaders’ and appointed them into positions. He made his PA deputy governor. I pray the Ibadans rally round thier elite to deliver them from the present leadership and I hope that the court of appeal will be emboldened to upturn the decision of the lower cort in the governorship election petition.
bayo kayode
12 June 2008 09:24One thing i learnt from the politics of Adedibu is that he seemed to be a selfless personality to a great extent.Yorubas do not follow
people just for tips or daily-bread.There must be something good about the man that many of us outside Ibadan politics do not know.
Elites in Ibadan should stop selfish type of politics otherwise another Adedibu will rise again.If politics is a game of number then late Adedibu should be commended to hold firmly to his own.To be candid many of our politicians are selfish and that ADEDIBU capitalised on.Now that Adedibu is gone, let see what Oyo state politics will be.
Olayemi
12 June 2008 09:24The bible says “when the wicked dies the peole rejoice” this indeed is an end of era. Men needs to learn from this that God alone is the only one that knows the next minute. Men should stop living as if they will not die again. This will be the second time in the history of this country that people will rejoice and shout hallelluyah when somebody die. Let’s all our leaders shouldlearn from this that you don’t own the whole world you will use your own time and pass on.

12 June 2008 09:26modified devil,i wish he had a plane crash so that his body wont even be gathered let alone urying him.may be next time when you come u will die of plane crash(amen)in fact on his way to hell he will crash.so that the pieces willl burn fast in hell .

12 June 2008 09:38GOD DELETED adedibu
Congratulations my good and law abiding people of ibadan land and oyo state.Most battles were won on the knees,if GOD can delete Sanni Abacha without a gun shot,why are we so surprised that Adedibu gone too cheaply,GOD will continue to be GOD,HE deleted him,let his co-evil team be aware that no network coverage for them,their calls for help started entering voice mail.Let the whole world join me in congratulating my people .

12 June 2008 10:01well let God take control and judge him accodinghly a lesson to remaining adedibus
Gongo Ti So
12 June 2008 10:18God you are wonderful,so someone like this can die one day,the strong man that never allows peace to reign in Oyo State,Akala cnanow do what he is supposed to do without looking with caution.HAPPY OYO STATE,Your God Father is Dead.Hurray!!!!Gongo ti so ni Ibadan,cos nobody knows tomorrow.
OBADIGOOD SUNDAY
12 June 2008 10:19My concern now are those who rely on the arms of flesh,now that papa is no more what will be their fate,it is a matter of time every hidden secret will soon be exposed.Obasanjo has rightly said, no one can be like Adedibu and i believe oyo state will never pray to have such a man again,NEVER.
God has not created a man that He can not tame…let other Adedibus beware.
bashir
12 June 2008 10:30may Allah be praised. this should serve as a lesson to all our leaders, life will definitely come to an end someday. we should all work for good in our life time. but can Adedibu repent now?

12 June 2008 10:37This should be a lesson to SARAKI of ilorin and others, your own time is so near.REPENT OH YE EVIL DOERS

12 June 2008 10:48I just don’t know what to say. May The Almighty God just have His way in Ibadan and the entire State, so that we would at least find succor, Because it no doubt that, an are had just ended with his death and nobody knows tomorrow.

12 June 2008 12:30“Adedibu is dead but what about the belief system which for over 6 decades he had successfully imbedded in many of our folks? what about the way of life that he had seeded into their bloodstream? what about the attitudes? are these dead?”
My BELOVED STATE, Oyo; “aji sebi Oyo lari, Oyo o sebi enikookan”, please start the CLEANSING immediately. Niron Ogunoshun, you spoke well.
If people rejoice and shout for for joy at the news of his death, then Adedibu did NOT DIE BUT PERISHED like is predecessors in wickedness

12 June 2008 14:08So Adedibu could die like chicken just like that, OBJ beware ‘cos your time is near and may you die a shameful death.
ADEDIBU, May your soul roast in HELL with that of your cohorts when they will come to join you IN JESUS NAME, Amen.

12 June 2008 14:11Ino lilahi wahi no ilhei rojihun, is from Allah we came and to him is our return.Every one has his own short comings. Let leave God to decide on his eternity. Best thing for every one of us is to be doing good always. May God has mercy for his soul (Amin).
Tosin Jumobi
12 June 2008 14:23It is Finished………….thats the Last word from our savior………..Adedibu is finished and cannot not be put together.What a pity,children of the Late Politicians beware never to leave the same life as your father,see how happy people are on behalf of your father’s death,it’s a lesson to learn from,we shall all see and meet in heaven to give account of how best we have utilize our opportunities on earth.Other politician remember the fall of the brown leave is a warning to the green ones,we are all like a pencil in the hand of the almighty.
Let he that has ears hear what the spirit is saying to the nation.
Adeola A. Faleye
12 June 2008 14:56Either good, bad or worse, the good lesson from the strong, political tower, called Bàbá Làmídì Adédibú ’s life style of operation is for ALL living beings to be CAREFUL!
On this note, I will like to sing a tune of one valued popular masquerade thus:
Ojó kan, yóó jókan! (Definitely, One day will be One day!)
Bó se rere lo bá mò ón se, múra sí i. (If you are good at good deeds, move on persistently)
Bó sì se ìkà lo yàn láàyò, múra sí i (If you otherwise chose to be evil-incarnated /personified, do go ahead)
Sáà ti mò pé, ojó kan yóó jókan! (All you need remember is that, One day, will definitely be, One day!)
Bàbá Làmídì Adédibú’s CHARACTER, like the elders say, follows him about in his tomb!
Ojó kan ti jòkan!
Adieu!
'kayode
12 June 2008 15:08I have read some of the comments made,I quite agree with Dr Fakolade from OAU,you have spoken well.This is a food for thought for all of us alive.We should always ask ourselve s this question–Why I’m I here on earth?Suppose I die now,What will people say about me?.All of us must learn,God bless Nigeria.

12 June 2008 15:45The death of Adedibu should be a lot of lesson to the people of Nigerians that God did not create the person in cannot take away anytime He want. We have to leave a good legacy for our children and the people at large. The Bible says thou shall not judge for you not to be judged. I live judgement in hands of God Almighty. As for me, his death taught me a great lessons.
OMOOBA ELERO SOPE
12 June 2008 15:58Baba, you have extremely wonderful to the people from Oyo State, If not you that had been caging these elites that littered all over the state, things would have been otherwise. May you rest in perfect peace and may God give us another leader that would always have fear of God. Now that you are no more, I wonder how those tyrrant would be behaving in Ibadan and its environs, may God be with the people of Oyo State and give them fortitude to bear the lost.

12 June 2008 15:59I told someone last 2 weeks that pple of nigeria will be very hapy when the death of this thug is announced, lo and behold it happend, a serious lesson to baba iyabo and other political thugs. RIP baba
Prince Kunle Adedibu, (London)
12 June 2008 16:00It is very surprising that most Nigerian don’t appreciate “great men” who not only fought gallantly to defend the cultural heritage and socio-political values of their communities but also created positive impact on the lives of the common people. It is a shame that people cannot comment on the legacies of “grassroot empowerment”, which my Uncle with unmatchable political pedigree and outstanding popularity is well known for. Adieu Baba!
DOLU
12 June 2008 16:25Pls think of people reactions to the demise of Gen. Abacha, MKO, Baba senator Adesanya, and Adedibu. This is a lesson for us.
Consider your ways and reconcile accordingly. You may say tomorrow but death may come now so amend your way. OYO STATE, DO NOT SLEEP, KEEP PRAYING FOR PEACE

12 June 2008 17:42these characters with funny names are not nigerians and so, they don’t have the right to talk good or bad about baba, Adedibu.Those of us who are nigerians have lost out because baba himsef has cheated all of us.
This man accomplished almost all he wished politically
