From the Royal
house of Ijemo-Isolosi came a man birthed as Prince Kazeem Adesina Alowoesin popularly known as 'Olororo' whose Eulogical praises and practices has taken to high and the mighties.
Though,hailed from Oje traditional roots of "Iga Igboledun" family in Ota,Ogun state,grew up with the rhythm and rhymes of 'Oje'(Songs for Masquerades) from the mouth of the father who Incidentally marries Tailoring with Music under the then popular Olorunnisola traditional musical band of Ota Awori-Kingdon.He grew with a heart to better his lots after brief study at Ipate-Oyinbo St James school Ota,to undertake Furniture and Carpentry work.
The young "Olororo" who confesses how he attracts the nickname 'Olororo' from childhood when he playfully spilled a vegetable oil container that was prepared to fry 'Masa' ( delicious fry for traditional celebrations) ,as the cold oil spilled all over him,the incident attracted the knowings of people around And it became a descriptive incident that resulted into people nicknamed him 'olororo' right from childhood.
What distinguished the praise singer from others in practice to Eulogize is his penchant out of quality researches on people's family,roots, clan,town and states of origin,with which he praises, according to him " I make myself teachable especially from those better than me in practice, also travels around for researches in other towns and people's origin which often reflects contents of their clanish-praises " he Said.
I started this practice as an inquisitive hobby, though I never knew it can disposess me of my early Furniture and Carpentry work I learnt as a young man,but it has become what popularise my name and family hitherto.
