As you read this, Iro, a sprawling community on the outskirts of Ogun State is being shaken to its foundation with merriment as Fuji music star, Alhaji Sefiu Alao Adekunle has just been bestowed with a new chieftaincy title of "Awise of Iro Land" by the Oniro of Iro, Oba Najim Niko.
The new chieftaincy title which literally translates to "The one with the gift of true professy" may not be unconnected with the professing by Sefiu Alao in one of his albums long before the king, who hitherto was a popular hotelier in Abeokuta became a king, that he (Sefiu Alao) saw him (the Oniro of Iro) becoming one, sooner or later.
And since the professy finally came to pass some years after, it is not surprising that the king has in turn bestowed such a title on Sefiu Alao. Meanwhile, the merriment which had started already in Iro, according to the Public Relations Officer to the artiste, Wole Osikoya better known as Shoshogirisho, would continue in Abeokuta later in the evening.
