THIS DAY IN HISTORY OF IBADANLAND 1936

     Acting Chief Commissioner of the Southern Provinces, G.H Findlay approved the change in title of BALE to OLUBADAN on 18th, June 1936. However, five days on, the then Resident Ward-Price asked that the notification in the gazette be delayed. He explained that “trouble might arise” in future because the present Bale's family might claim to have a right to supply his successors.
     Alternatively, a group opposing the Bale could accuse him of usurping this right, even if it was not his actual intention.
