Chief L.A Ariyo - Obaro of Irunda, Isanlu

Luke Adebayo Ariyo was born in 1931 at Orokere Amuro, where he had his earlier life. He was born to the family of Ayo Ariyo - a drummer and traditional healer. Growing up was tough, given the economic well being of the society he grew in and the financial status of the parents. At that time, male dominance and lordship over family affairs was prominent. At that time, fathers could restrict children education with reasons hinged on superstition. Young Luke, has unbridled passion for education and starts at earlier life but later withdrawn by the father to learn his (the father's) chosen path. This was a devastating stage for Luke as most of his classmates were already ascending with different aspirations. L.A Ariyo, started menial jobs to fend for himself and put money aside sufficient to take him through basic education.

He was able to raise substantial amount after ground tilling labours and re-enrol himself. Undeterred with his predicament, he tops his class albeit as one of the oldest in his class. He thereafter did a personal study to pass A' Levels and proceeded to Kwara Tech (Now Kwara State Polytechnics) for a Certificate is Business Administration.Ultimately, he achieved his aim of attending a University - Obafemi Awolowo University, and worked through thick and thin to address all goals he set at earlier part of his life.

His philanthropic prowess is one in a million. A man who has not set block who used his hard earned savings to build a school for his community. He single-handedly cleared a path for accessible road for his people despite his meagre salary. He converted funds meant for his children school fees for charitable deeds and always conclude by saying that "Mine won't be a problem if i settle yours first". He was once asked what he detests most and he said "Pride". He termed "pride" as the ugliest of all sins and enjoined all and sundry to embrace humility no matter what pedestal you attain.

He died in April 1st, 2016 at age 85. Late Chiel L.A Ariyo fulfilled his call and fathered children who picked the baton from where he called it a day.

RIP L.A Ariyo
