TENI N TENI 2019.

Apology to Martin luther king jnr who said and I quote, "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent" . Obviously, our back is long bent in Oke Ogun and we got to get it straighten for posterity sake.

Oh ye! Oke Ogun indigenes and residents! Here comes a clarion call to forsake all our political affiliations or addictions and support a single candidate for the Oke Ogun gubernatorial project, this is our time to produce a governor of OkeOgun extraction come 2019.  We shall this time refuse to settle for less, we deserve the best.

It could be very unthoughtful, satanic, demonic and  pejorative of anyone who claims he has the love of this axis at heart, still supporting the candidacy of any other extraction. No doubt that we all have our individual preference of party and individual, but nothing should ring in our heart these moments than the Oke Ogun Gubernatorial project.

We should be the change we love to see in our space, no one can revive our space than we, and we might continue to be a subject of subordinacy if we fail to take charge.

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...

STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE: AN UNSUSPECTED KILLER OF GOOD GOVERNANCE.

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...
