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...

Voice Air Media Publisher, Bright Olorungbotemi Distributes Free Education Materials, Awards Scholarships To Indigent Pupils In Idanre LG

 


To c


ushion the effect of the high cost of academic materials and the increase in the cost of education, the Publisher of Voice Air Media Online News, Director of VAM, and Founder of DOWOB (Dive Out With Olorungbotemi Bright), a media platform and non-governmental forum dedicated to impacting lives and giving back to society, recently distributed free educational materials to indigent pupils in Lagos.



The distribution, which benefitted all the pupils present, took place on Friday, July 18th, 2024, at St. Stephen's A/C School Oke-Jebu, in Idanre LG area of Ondo State. Additionally, the school fees of two less privileged pupils from the school were paid, and some students and pupils in Akure, the state capital, also benefited from this humanitarian service.



During the presentation, the Convener, Bright Olorungbotemi, said the exercise was aimed at making learning easier for the pupils and encouraging children to keep learning and stay in school. He added that a pupil from KG, Abel Prayer, and Aina Akingba from Pry 4 were the ones granted scholarships for the term. He announced that the phase of the distribution exercise of books, biros, and pencils covered over 115 pupils.


Speaking at the event, the Headmistress, Mrs. Aboyewa D.S., appreciated the donor for the kind gesture. Mrs. Aboyewa said, "The birthday celebrant is not from the school, but he came to support and give to the pupils because he is from Idanre LG and his biological mother was a product of the school. What the celebrant is doing today is to complement our effort in the school in providing quantitative education for the pupils."


She encouraged alumni of the school to emulate Bright Olorungbotemi's stride in complementing the efforts of the management and teachers in providing good education to the pupils.


Appreciating the donor, the parents of the pupils, including Mrs. Akingba, expressed their gratitude for the support for their children and prayed for God to continue to bless him.


Additionally, a seminar on 'Financial Management and Healthy Home Amidst Fuel Subsidy' was part of this 2024 Dive Out With Olorungbotemi Bright annual inclusivity project.


Bright Olorungbotemi called on the alumni of the school to show their support for the school and give back to complement the efforts of the headmistress and the teachers to ensure that children keep enrolling for a better future.

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 ...
