The Essence Of<br />
TRADITIONAL RULERS<br />
IN OGUN COMMUNITY<br />
Can we meet you, sir?<br />
Oba Abdulrazak Adesina Adenugba, Ebumawe of Ago Iwoye<br />
Kabiyesi, one of the major roles of traditional rulers in the<br />
society is being the custodian of culture and tradition of<br />
their domains, with the advent of technology and<br />
civilization, how has it been balancing tradition and<br />
civilization with people's expectation?<br />
Well, I will start answering your question by giving glory to<br />
Almighty God who has given us the opportunity to see<br />
Oba Abdulrazak<br />
Adesina Adenugba<br />
The Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye<br />
(Ogun State)<br />
today and who has ordained me to exist and<br />
be an Oba and to be a custodian of<br />

birth to political segregation, that means in<br />
a location God created what we call<br />
differences in different factors in which we<br />
are talking of; dialect, religion, mode of dressing,<br />
the way we communicate or do things, and all<br />
these varieties is what we can now say to make<br />
one state or nation or ethic. All this came by virtue<br />
of knowing ourselves or education and they all<br />
encompass under socialisation, tradition has been<br />
in existence since the world has been created,<br />
socialisation now came as a sort of development.<br />
If you go to the Bible, when God created Adam<br />
and Eve, they were just naked in the garden of<br />
Eden nothing like socialisation that was just using<br />
leaves until their eyes were open but then nothing<br />
like civilisation not until Eve cajoled her husband to<br />
eat the fruit, that is why we say women are<br />
powerful. Up to the era of NOK people when they<br />
use a rock to crack fire, there was nothing like<br />
civilisation then. Obas are the custodian of
