Okanlomo Oodua Celebrates Wives of the Olubadan-in-Council on International Women’s Day
On this special occasion of International Women’s Day, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the distinguished wives of the Olubadan-in-Council—women of dignity, grace, and strength who continue to stand as pillars behind the respected traditional institution of Ibadanland.
Your roles may often be carried out quietly, but their impact is profound. As supportive partners to our revered chiefs and custodians of culture, you embody patience, wisdom, and resilience.

Through your sacrifices, encouragement, and steadfast support, you help sustain the values, unity, and progress of Ibadanland.
Behind every strong leader stands a woman whose strength, prayers, and counsel provide balance and stability.
Your contributions to family, community development, and the preservation of our cherished traditions are deeply valued and worthy of celebration.

Today, we honor your dedication, your grace in leadership within your homes and communities, and the inspiration you provide to younger generations of women across Ibadanland.
May God continue to bless you with good health, peace, and greater strength as you continue to support the growth and unity of our great land.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the esteemed wives of the Olubadan-in-Council.
With deep respect and appreciation.
