OYO: PRIORITIZING THE PEOPLE INFRASTRUCTURE

Gbenga Oloniniran Dec 29, 2020

In just about a week, after the media trended the rising traffic of Ibadan for us, as we speak, there is a most recent demolition of MRS filling station at Challenge roundabout. The roundabout structure itself is gone too, now a plane ground, awaiting new development. The MRS station had been a popular landmark at […]

Gbenga Oloniniran Dec 21, 2020

If you are not coming through the ports, the ancient and Nigeria’s largest city by geography, Ibadan, remains your major funnel from any part of Nigeria to enter the megacity and most populous city of Nigeria, Lagos. Ibadan and Lagos share such close proximity that the relationship between the two states is so intertwined and […]

December Rain – There shall be Showers

Gbenga Oloniniran Dec 17, 2020

Krishna Priya Pallavi, an Indian editor maintained that, albeit strange, the rain had been a respite from the heat. No doubt, dwellers of the tropical regions like Asia and Africa are forced to quickly align with it as a respite. Of course, the weather has been too hot, and as a Nigerian who has usually […]

Rape and Racism – Who to call out!

Gbenga Oloniniran Jun 09, 2020

Ending rape is not a protest against men by women or against women by men, lest it becomes another gender war, another division, like racism, like xenophobia. It is fine that we call out the evil excesses of men to men, but it is finer that we take cognizance of the institutions that strengthen these […]

Gbenga Oloniniran Feb 28, 2020

If one is to begin by listing data of academic-related suicides in tertiary institutions, the essence of the points intended here could be defeated so soon.

Gladly, human reasoning continues to advance, mental awareness and criticality continue to grow, gratitude to the ability of men to seek knowledge more and more, and the civilization that comes with this.

Gbenga Oloniniran Dec 30, 2019

In 2018, during our struggle against evictions of this manner, the popular and hypocritical propaganda of the university was that we were against renovation exercise to be carried out by them as we chose to remain in the hostels. Renovations could be done systematically with students’ understanding, only when there is a cordial discussion with […]

Campus Cultism – The ‘Jonathans’ in Governments are ‘Patrons’

Gbenga Oloniniran Nov 25, 2019

In response to Goodluck Jonathan’s untold hypocrisy, it is necessary to always point out their flaws in this manner even if we cannot always be chanced to engage them in persons. Politicians whether serving or had served, should not continually be spared of the mockeries they make of the people lest they continue to rape […]

Gbenga Oloniniran Nov 23, 2019

Barely forty eight hours after the expulsion of Babcock student over viral sex video, Edo State Polytechnic followed suit by expelling another two students for ‘sex offence’ similar to that of Babcock’s.

Gbenga Oloniniran Nov 21, 2019

Having read of a late Adeniran who was a corps member in Oyo state, I drew some conclusions to the theme of this article out of emotions. He could have passed out with his colleagues in October 2019.
