Dude, are you serious? The page is defaced by a lot of people and you think it's my fault?

I would suggest you get someone of a higher authority to lock that page too.

:I have already posted a message to request the page to be semi-locked.

Your action regarding my editing Igboho is well appreciated. My concern is that there is no credible reference to the original article regarding Alepata as the paramount ruler of Igboho. However, I wish to appeal that we should please put the record straight by correcting some errors regarding Igboho, Oyo State, Nigeria in Wikipedia free encyclopedia.

For example, the portion that states 'The job was however made complete with the leadership of Alepata who is responsible for the relocation of the Empire. The official title of the Oba of the town since then has been Alepata, a prince and a brave hunter from Ilesa Ijesha' is far from being the truth.

Kindly note that the official title of Oba of the town when the capital of the Empire was relocated back to Oyo Ile has been Ona Onibode. For the avoidance of doubt and clarification on this assertion, short history of Igboho is well embedded and documented in the book written by Rev. Johnson, The history of the Yorubas: from the earliest times to the beginning of the British Protectorate" and you may wish to note that the book in question is a major reference point when it comes to historical facts regarding major towns in Yorubaland.

In addition, you may wish to get in touch directly with HRH Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, Alafin of Oyo who up till this time is the custodian of Oyo Empire history and culture. The correction is necessary so as to avoid misinforming millions of people that we are serving around the world.

In conclusion, my reference for editing it as such is from:
'THE HISTORY OF THE YORUBAS':From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the British Protectorate BY The REV. SAMUEL JOHNSON, Pastor of Oyo EDITED BY DR. O. JOHNSON, Lagos C.M.S. (NIGERIA) BOOKSHOPS LAGOS. BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY. PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY
LOWE AND BRYDONE (PRINTERS) LIMITED, LONDON, N.W.IO
First published 1921
Reprinted 1937

It would be highly appreciated if you can revert, as well as, making necessary corrections to make the storyline richer by perusing the book mentioned above so as to put record straight.

Thank you for your interest in the History of Igboho. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:PRINCE DAPO OLAKULEHIN|PRINCE DAPO OLAKULEHIN]] ([[User talk:PRINCE DAPO OLAKULEHIN|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PRINCE DAPO OLAKULEHIN|contribs]]) 11:18, 12 August 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
