Osun Online Publishers Association Congratulates Minister Of Information, Idris Malagi, Requests For Collaboration

 


The Osun Online Publishers Association, OOPA has commemorated with Alhaji Mohammed Idris Malagi, on his appointment as Minster of Information and National Orientation by President Bola Tinubu. 

OOPA in its congratulatory message  described the Minister's appointment  as a round peg in a round hole.  


"The Online Publishers joins the need to regulate online media practice, but urged the minister not gag the media. It recommended that a tripartite committee comprising of the government, regulators and practitioners will help in bringing needed sanity into the sector.



“The above named association based in Osun state wishes to congratulate you on your appointment as the Minister of Information and National Orientation under the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We wish you and your principal success as you run the affairs of the country.


“As a responsible association with members who engage in daily online news publishing in Osun State and beyond, this association is giving its full support to your ministry’s quest to regulate Nigeria’s social media space against fake news, hate speech and misinformation. Our avowed commitment stemmed from our experiences and most recently, how the media led to communal clash between Ilobu and Ifon-Osun, both in our State earlier in the month of October, 2023” 


“However, we urge your office not to see regulation of the space as a sole government affair. A tripartite committee of government, regulatory body and practitioners like us will be more effective and acceptable to all and sundry, if set up to fashion out the mode of regulation.” 


The Osun Online Publishers Association also expressed readiness to take the working relationship with the ministry to a greater level. 


“Also, members of this association as stakeholders who understand the nitty-gritty of social media are open to a working relationship with your ministry and are ready to contribute their wealth of experience in order to regulate the social media space.”


“The association will be glad if the correspondence is given favorable consideration as we look forward to a positive response”.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
