Early Life

His Royal Highness, Oba Alhaji Abdul-Lateef Olawuyi Olagoke, Arowooje II, Onilala of Lanlate was born on 22nd August 1954 to late prince Raheem Olagoke of Bioku Ruling House and Mrs Olatooke Olagoke of Alaarun’s Compound, Isale Togun, Lanlate. He is the second child of the family of five children but the first male child.

The father who was a farmer in his lifetime lived in Jobi village near Maya, Lanlate together with his family including the little Abdul-Lateef. In 1963 and on request, he was released to live with his maternal grandmother; the late Mrs Fadewe Abake of Elegun’s Compound, Oke-Imale, Lanlate in preparation for his elementary education.

Between 1963 and 1969, he attended St Paul African Church School, Lanlate and obtained Primary School Leaving Certificate. At the time, Financial constraints and other considerations within the family precluded him from pursuing his desire to further his education in 1970. However, due to his love for education, he eventually enrolled as a private candidate, sat for 2005 May/June WAEC and obtained good results for future use.

Career And Job

Owing to his inability to further his education in 1970, he joined his uncle Mr Sunday Ayorinde in Ifo town, Ogun state to take apprentice in fashion design where he spent two years. Rising from his love for education, he eventually enrolled as a private candidate, sat for the 2005 May/June WAEC and obtained good results.

In his determination to be self-dependent and be responsible for the upkeep of his family being the first male child, In 1972, he left his uncle to join a business tycoon in Abeokuta, Alhaja R.A. jooda as a sales clerk from where he discovered that Timber business is very lucrative and decided to go for it by joining Mr Amos Jibulu; now of blessed memory.

Between 1979 and 1984, he made his modest living from his timber business in both Abeokuta and Igboora using it to sustain his family as well as other commitments and interests. Being a responsible and very hardworking man, he ventured into farming from 1984 – 1993 in order to be self-sufficient.

In 1994, he re-opened his timber business in Ijebu-Igbo and managed it directly and sometimes by proxy until 2006 when he officially completed the process of his nomination as the king of Lanlate.

Kingship

Arising from the passage of Kabiyesi Babatunde Oloye of Bioku Ruling House in 1984, the entire Bioku Ruling House consensually appointed him as Mogaji in line with the tradition, the position he held successfully for several years. Obligatory, however, the position necessitated his initial relocation back home thereby disrupting his timber business.

On January 30, 2007, His Royal Highness, Oba Alhaji Abdul-Lateef Olawuyi Olagoke ascended the throne of his forefathers, but as Baale of Lanlate following the approval of his appointment in 2006 by his Excellency, Sen. Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja, the former Governor of Oyo State, Nigeria.

But earlier this year; in 2019, he was upgraded to a full-fledged king as approved by the Oyo state government and with the full consent, presence and supervision of the Alaafin of Oyo; His Imperial Majesty Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III.

Personal Life
