JUNE 12, THE DAY THAT PRODUCED THE PRESUMED LIBERATOR WE NEVER HAD.


Trending on the media are reactions trailing the conferment of posthumours GCFR on Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo, Olawale Abiola Popularly known as MKO, GCON honour on his running mate Baba Gana Kingibe and declaration of June 12 as democracy day replacing the May 29th when same is previously celebrated. I may not be completely good with President Mubammadu Buhari's perceived slow method of government but I think am 100% align with this development.

What more can one say of an egalitarian, disciplinarian and revolutionist like Buhari? who has unimaginably done what our own son, "Ebora Owu" and others considered unnecessary for about 25 years ago, forgetting the fact that we are currently enjoying the fruit of the sacrifice made by that late president we never had. It is human to envy the success that follows an action carried out by the other, when the former ought to have done same, however, a development of this magnitude should neither be politicized nor trivialized. No matter the pin under the carpet, it is indeed a welcome development.

It is high time Nigerians distance themselves from bitter politics and see things the way they should be seen. It is evident that the late sage did his best to sustain democracy we are enjoying today, so conferring him with the most treasured honour of the land is not a big deal, for if he was actually given the mandate and was declared winner of that election, he would have definitely been same honoured.

Plus Hatred minus envy, Abiola was a great hero and the Nation has recognized him as such.  This is in line with Marthin Luther king Jr who said,  "One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arose the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law"

Rest On Kashimawo. You are truly a democrat.

Long Live PMB,
Long Live Lovers of peace and tranquility,
Long Live Nigeria.

Omo tó solenu, so àpò ìyà kó ~ An Open letter to All Oke-Ogun Youths. Dear fellow youths, I found it imperative this time to put up these lines, to awake the patriotic senses of our dear youths, especially the gullible ones who prefer the choice of none Oke-Ogun indigenes to Oke-Ogun indigene for material or any reason that is best known to them. To start with, I need to categorically say here that, no one is responsible for our underdevelopment in this region of the state but we, I mean Ourselves. Yes! we are the architect of our misfortunes and lingering marginalization. I have the opportunity to have lived amongst people from other regions of the state, the last they could do no matter how intimate you are with them, is to trade their person with you for any reason, the love of their people and their region is always considered first, hence the obvious reflection of same on their geographical development. It pains me to the marrow whenever I heard a promising young man s...

PROTOCOL Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to be invited here as a guest speaker. It is quite interesting to discuss a crucial matter like this. It is my hope, that the lecture will have positive impact on this august audience. It is highly crucial to give adequate attention to a key word in the topic, i.e. “infrastructure”. Dictionary meaning of the word infrastructure is “the stock of basic facilities and capital equipment needed for the functioning of a country or area. The secondary meaning of the word infrastructure as coined by Nigerian politicians is a project of food availability on the table of all (i.e. their people). This secondary meaning is given purely in Nigeria context. The meaning coined by Nigerian politicians has generated ambiguities because this kind of infrastructure is characterized with unlawful acts. People are chosen to lead in view of managing the trust that belongs to all as against the practice of many leaders of today who consid...

Silence! An unsuspected slow killer

Silence! An unsuspected slow killer.....(A phemomenon of Aso-Oke International Market and Tourism Centre, Iseyin). Let me quickly refer us to one of my articles, "If we don't peg it, we may loose it" a couple of weeks ago, pointing at the need for weavers Association to reduce or cancel their patronage of "Ero Ibadan" for display of their wares. Perhaps the message did not get to them or they believe it's no the right time to swing into action as advised. May you please recall that, this purported international market was not the first Capital intensive project penciled for Iseyin, but for being too addict of "What would be, would be", we lose them.  It's apparent that the trend is at the verge of repeating self again, if a drastic measure is not employed to get the project pinned down. I refuse to believe the thought that the State Government is playing on our integrity, if not, the Contractor is expected to have been mobilized t...
