Love, as it is often said is a universal language. Even royalties are not excluded from the circle of love.

In what appear to be a deep show of affection for one of the formeost monarchs in Yoruba land, Olubadan of Oluband Oba Soliu Adetunji, his wives passionately plant kiss of love.

Olubadan which means Lord of Ibadan is the royal title of the king ofIbadanland.

Ibadan was founded in the 16th century, but the presentYoruba peopleonly took control around 1820. By 1850 they had established their unusual succession principle, which is quite different compared with other traditional Yoruba rulers in that it alternates between two lines.

It usually takes decades to groom an Olubadan for the stool through stages of chieftaincy promotion, thus meaning that just about any male born title-holder of the metropolitan center is a potential king.
