Chief Aruwajoye at 'work'
He is known as Gboyega Aruwajoye at home , Owo, Ondo State, but in St.Louis, Missouri , America , he is known as Chief Oloja of Owo,
This reporter met him at a birthday party where Mrs.Anehita Adekunle and and her sister , Mrs Ameze Egharevba celebrated their birthday parties recently
''Chief'', as he is popularly called is always with his coral beads with his white beard that made him stood out of all present.
People from all walks of life were present , those who were at work took permission and left their job to honour the invitation
.
.
Aruwajoye honoured the invitation and attended the church programme held at Freedom Church, St.Louis Rue Francois, St Flourissant, Missouri in America where Pastor Omiye is the presiding pastor.
For the bearded Chief, it is an occasion to meet who is who in St Louis and opportunity to meet Owo natives .
Asked to comment on the birthday party , the Chief who believes in honouring invitations at all times especially from Owo indigenes said '' I cannot do without coming here . the celebrators are nice people , good and full of humility. I was the first to be given the invitation and I feel highly honoured ''.
The occasion witnessed different types of attires and designs the well wishers displayed while the celebrators wore their native attires .They sang songs , they were happy, as the ''twins'' wore same clothes , wriggled their waists while their children , family members, friends and well wishers joined them.They sang the Edo songs while Owo songs were rendered . It was beautiful to behold as each displayed each other's culture. While the celebrators wore their clothes sewn in Edo's style , Engineer Samson Adekunle Obanigba too wore his coral beads on his hands and neck to show them he is from a royal family and a Chief too.
Engr. Adekunle and the family danced towards the altar.
One of the celebrators gave a testimony of a near fire accident their vehicle almost had while on a visit in Nigeria .
At the church , the officiating Pastor and leader of Freedom Church , Pastor Femi Omiye prayed for the celebrators. Mrs.Anehita Adekunle and Ameze Egharevba are loving sisters from same parents while many are still wondering whether they are twins or not. Yes, one is plump and beautiful and the other is
slim and tall.
It was a big celebration.At the African Palace food was surplus , wine flooded at the place while everyone was satisfied. The assorted food was rich . Infact after eating many packed food and wine home (as Ayefele sang Ao je ajeyo, a o tun di lole). A man was asking where the bathroom was while looking straight at the bathroom.He was 'highly' satisfied.
The photographer who was contracted to take their shots was a good one as he went round and took beautiful shots without missing any.
Mama The questions on everybody's lips are :Are they twins? If they are not why did they chose one day to celebrate?
However , this reporter interviewed the mother who spoke glowingly about them.Their husbands spoke .Are they twins? What did their mother say?
