| Natural, The King and Sola: Award presentation to the King |
It was a long day but it well worth it. It took us approximately two hours to get to Iwo from Ilesha. Love, dedication and passion were all well in place to make such journey. Travelling on the road for the first time makes it look like never ending journey... We were a bit on the trip, every 20 minutes or there about I kept sending my location to His Imperial Majesty, for him to know that we were on our way; the road was not that smooth, also we didn't know our way. The Officer that drove us down was such a pleasant man, I was expecting some discomfort on his face, but rather were smiles.. this gave me the strength to carry on.

His Imperial Majesty, Telu1, Alashe Lori Orisha, Oba Abdul-Raheed Adewale Akanbi transmits inner peace and calmness, I felt so comfortable listening to him and discussing too... but we had to leave. He saw us to the palace main gate... celebrations begun. I felt like staying another hour or more, but we had to live.
He serves his community with love and kindness.
Do I desire to see him again? Yes is the answer, and very soon. He's a pleasant leader with loads of words of wisdom. A brave man, very straightforward in coming across to everyone. A very humble, spiritual and respectful leader he is.
Here are some of our conversations with the King:
What are the misconceptions of people about you; and how do you feel when you get to know? I don't worry about misconceptions, all I have to do is deliver my message.
What's religion to you? Religion is a set of rules and regulations, spirituality is the only pure thing and only God can you, not religion; spirituality knows no religion.
May the King Live Long!
