Nigeria Is Not Owned by Anyone—Except Those Who Build Her

  On this Democracy Day, I had intended to rest my pen. I wanted to leave the fate written on the walls of history to speak for itself. I thought perhaps the sacrifices of those who fought for democracy were enough testimony. Yet, in the final hour, a thought stirred within me, compelling me to write a message to all of us who have come together to form this sovereign nation called Nigeria. My message is particularly for those who believe that the business of Nigeria lies in the hands of a powerful few. Perhaps they are influenced by what the German sociologist Robert Michels described as the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" ,the tendency for power to concentrate in the hands of a small elite. Looking at our politics, our institutions, and our economy, one may be tempted to believe that the destiny of Nigeria is determined only by those who occupy powerful offices and influential positions. But history tells a different story. Nigeria does not belong to any president, governor, politi...

Protocols

Your Excellency, the Governor of Osun State,

Members of the Osun State Executive Council,  

Esteemed colleagues from the Nigerian Society of Engineers,  

Ladies and Gentlemen,


Mr. Governor, it is with profound honour that I address you today on this momentous occasion. I wish to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to Your Excellency for graciously sparing your valuable time to meet with us. Your esteemed presence truly reflects your unwavering dedication to fostering collaborative relationships that advance the growth and prosperity of Osun State.

Appreciation

I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation for Your Excellency’s steadfast support for the engineering profession. Your hosting of the NSE Osogbo Branch on May 9, 2024, and today’s meeting with the National Executive Committee Members underscore your dedication to promoting strong partnerships with stakeholders in the engineering sector. We deeply value and appreciate your commitment.

We also commend the numerous ongoing projects under your leadership, which are transforming the State, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the quality of life for the people of Osun. Notable and praise worthy among the initiative is the launching of the 100 billion naira infrastructural project in 2023 which has now transformed into physical city roads and Local Government roads, hospitals, schools and flyovers. Your vision and drive for progress are commendable, and we are proud to witness the positive changes occurring across the State. I also want to put on record that your administration has the milk of human kindness judging from what our members told us about the prompt payment of salaries.

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...

  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 ...
