Deleokenla4Senate2011: I was born in Ijebu-ode the 11th child of Late Chief O. Ade. Okenla (SAN), the Oloja Bara of Isoku who was the son of Adamo Ashiru, a descendant of the Ashiru/Ogunnusi family and the Abass/Odunsi family all in Ijebu Ode. My paternal grandmother was the grand-daughter of Oba Osinowo( Soludero I), the Moloda of Odogbolu.My mother Chief Mrs Olayinka Okenla was the late Iyalaje of Ososa and the eldest daughter of Epe Agbeluja after whom my uncle Hubert Ogunde fashioned the character of Osetura in his films.My maternal grandmother was from the Odukomaiya/Olufowodu royal family in Ibefun on one side and the Adeleye/Sherefusi Agemo clan in Igbile on the other side.My extended family connections include the Kuyes in Ijebu-Ife, the Adebanjos in Idowa, the Ogunbowales in Ala among others.I have at various times lived extensively in Aiyepe, Ago-Iwoye, Epe and Ijebu-Igbo and still retain very good friends in these lovely places.
