A Celebrated Son of Ẹ̀gbáland
Tribute to High Chief Òsì Apagun Lai Lábòdé, PhD
On His Installation as the Balogun of Ìjàyẹ Ẹ̀gbáland
In an era where tradition gracefully meets transformation, we joyfully celebrate the installation of High Chief Lai Lábòdé, PhD, as the Balogun of Ìjàyẹ in Ẹ̀gbáland—a revered chieftaincy title steeped in heritage, honor, and noble responsibility.
A man of vision and valor, High Chief Lábòdé stands tall—not only as Òsì Apagun Pọ̀tè of Ìlú Ẹ̀gbá, but also as a bridge between generations. His name resounds with excellence in entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and cultural leadership, and now shines even brighter through his ascension in traditional leadership.
As CEO of CashToken Rewards Africa, he leads a groundbreaking fintech platform reshaping the landscape of rewards and inclusive financial empowerment across Africa. His cultural mission continues through the Lai Lábòdé Heritage Foundation, and its signature platform, Egbaliganza, where he champions the re-enactment, re-jubilation, and preservation of Ẹ̀gbá culture and heritage.
He is a proud President of the AGSOBA 8591 Set and the Latest Distinguished AGSOBA, fostering unity, excellence, and generosity among alumni of Abeokuta Grammar School.
This remarkable son of Ẹ̀gbáland does not merely bear titles—he embodies them. As a philanthropist, fashion icon, and cultural torchbearer, he represents Yoruba identity with elegance, pride, and conviction—locally and on global stages. From fashion runways to cultural forums, he continues to redefine what it means to be an Egba man—rooted in heritage, yet resonating with modernity.
Balogun Lai Lábòdé—may your reign be filled with wisdom, progress, and a renewed pride in our rich Yoruba legacy. May you continue to uplift Ìjàyẹ and all of Ẹ̀gbáland with integrity, vision, and cultural pride.
Congratulations, LL1 – Balogun Ìjàyẹ!
