Just like every Nigeria politician, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is not a saint. But he lived a life of service driven by desperation for success, ambitions, pace-setting and desirability in breaking of yolks in the last 40 years. Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is not strange to leadership positions. It is interesting to note that each time Aregbesola occupied a top position, he never attained such position on a platter of gold but through struggles and sacrifices. He always ended up his days in office fighting battles and struggling to fulfil the mandate of the new office but not always enough. Aregbesola struggled…

Unemployment is not the only cause of increase in yahoo business. Poverty and frustration are definitely not the only factors responsible for yahoo business. Greediness, vagrant thought of money and desperation for massive wealth are major causes of the increase in yahoo business. Over 75 percent of yahoo boys were not driven into fraud by poverty, frustration and unemployment. No government in this world can permanently tackle unemployment. Unemployment exist everywhere but the lack of will of Nigeria’s government to tackle it makes our situation worse. Any nation where population moves at geometrical rate, provision for infrastructure and other essentials…
Kaduna is not only a testing ground but now a battlefield and must not be abandoned. The executive governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai was only fast, naive and obstinate in approach, every state in the federation will follow same suit if peradventure El-Rufai survives the traps of labour leaders. As much as the current situation in Kaduna appears to be a declaration of war against the civil service, the governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai is painting a big picture we must understand. The picture is simple. Nigeria is broke. We can not continue to rebuild the state through…
The best time to re-educate the paramount ruler of Iwo kingdom is now. Even if the royal monarch did not enter the traditional royalty seclusion (Ipebi) where he’s supposed to be taught how royals talk or act, he can still learn elsewhere via Youtube videos by watching how other royals walk, talk or act. The elders of the ancient town including kingmakers should not continue to watch helplessly as the royal monarch either ignorantly or intentionally turns the peaceful town full of honey and milk to a dangerous zone where tales of horror and hot tears of misfortunes wake natives…
Governor Oyetola, Prince Ogungbangbe and roads of destiny Distinguished readers, “The strive is O’er, the battle done The victory of life is won. The song of triumph has begun. ALLELUIA!” Kilometres away, one could easily feel the celebration of the good people of Iloko-Ijesa. The chains of repression and subjection are broken and the people could not keep their calm as they celebrate the ‘new normal’. Youths and women could not hide their excitement, the angry ones who are agents of dark forces and their soldiers have not only repented but reconciled with their minds. From market women to youths…
The growing rate of insecurity in Osun state is worrisome. The prevailing situations are consequences of our actions; the aggressive increase in crime rate and how these ‘law breakers’ have continued to hold both the people and government to ransom should really bother us. Osogbo, like many towns in Osun is now a hub for Omo Onile (sons of the original landowners), who assert ownership of land based on their autochthony to the state. Omo Onile are sometimes abandoned kids who become outgrown urchins and terrors. This new business is not only thriving but it has become another opportunity to…
