Oba Francis Olagobin Olatunji Adedoyin
Oba Francis Adedoyin is the Ogunsua, or traditional ruler, of Modakeke in Osun State, Nigeria.[1]
He has been on the throne as Oba for 7 years, since his coronation in 2009.[1] He is not from any royal family; the person who helped him to become a chief was the late high chief Raji Orire. He is over 80 years old; a widower, he has many children and many staff working in his three-storey palace. He is very rich.
He was on bad terms with the late Oba Sijuwade Olubuse II, Ooni of Ife, but is a friend of the new Ooni, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, because he is a man of peace.
