  ....When scandal is rewarded, the nation’s youth lose faith in excellence As Nigeria marks 65 years of independence, the mood across the nation is mixed-celebration for survival, but also a deep sigh over unfulfilled promises. We were supposed to be giants of Africa, yet six and a half decades later, we remain trapped in cycles of bad leadership, poverty, and misplaced priorities. More troubling, however, is a cultural decay that rewards scandal over substance. If we truly desire nation builders, then the culture of elevating public nuisances into national icons is nothing short of terrorism in disguise-legitimized without reflection on its long-term damage. Each time scandal is repackaged as success and repatriated into brand ambassadorship, we poison the minds of those who still believe in excellence and crush the spirit of young Nigerians striving to lift this nation’s soul. We now live in a country where hard work is mocked, intellectual pursuit is sidelined, and honest livin...

  At 65, Nigeria stands at a generational crossroads. The pre-millennials, those born before the dawn of the 21st century, carry the memory of a nation forged through sacrifice, coups, civil strife, and rebuilding. They lived through the struggles of independence, the battles for democracy, the harsh realities of military rule, and the gradual march toward modern governance. Gen Z, on the other hand, has inherited a Nigeria they mostly know through headlines, hashtags, and the frustrations of everyday life. Their view of the country is filtered through social media lenses, corruption scandals, unemployment crises, and the unending Japa wave. They did not witness the foundations laid, only the cracks in today’s structures. This divide is more than age, it is ideological. Pre-millennials value survival, resilience, and the painful gains of progress; Gen Z emphasizes accountability, transparency, and innovation. History and time have drawn a line between these groups, creating differe...

  As Nigeria celebrates her Independence Day, the lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke, has called on Nigerians to uphold the ideals of nationhood and remain committed to building a united and prosperous country. In a goodwill message to mark the October 1 anniversary, Hon. Oke described the day as a reminder of the courage and sacri fices of Nigeria’s founding fathers.  “October 1st is more than a date on the calendar; it is a symbol of the courage, sacrifices, and resilience of our founding fathers who fought for a sovereign and united Nigeria. It is also a charge to us, the present generation, to renew our commitment to the values of unity, justice, peace, and progress upon which our nation was built,” he said. The federal lawmaker noted that despite prevailing challenges, Nigerians across Osun State and beyond are united by their shared aspiration for equity, opportunities, and the dividends of democracy. Expressing optimism abo...

The Osun State Security Network Agency, known as Amotekun Corps, has confirmed a violent ambush on its operatives while responding to a distress call from residents of Akinlalu, a community in the Ile-Ife axis of the state.  The incident occurred on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, and resulted in a deadly confrontation between the corps and suspected armed hoodlums. According to official reports, the operatives were dispatched from the Amotekun Command in Ile-Ife following an emergency call from Akinlalu residents, who reported a group of suspected bandits invading farmlands in the area. Acting swiftly, four Amotekun operatives mobilized on motorcycles to address the situation and ensure the safety of the local population. Tragically, while en route to Akinlalu, the team was ambushed by armed assailants, suspected to be the same group terrorizing the community. During the sudden attack, two service rifles belonging to the Amotekun Corps were forcibly taken by the assailants. Upon rec...

  In a dramatic turn of events, FIFA has stripped South Africa of three vital points in the 2026 World Cup qualification race, following the illegal fielding of an ineligible player. The controversy erupted after South Africa’s 2–0 victory over Lesotho, where Teboho Mokoena was fielded despite being suspended due to two earlier yellow cards in Group C matches. FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee ruled that the error was a breach of competition regulations. As punishment, South Africa forfeits the match, handing Lesotho a 3–0 victory on paper. In addition, the South African Football Association (SAFA) has been fined CHF 10,000. The decision has sent shockwaves across Group C, altering the dynamics of the qualification race and tightening the battle for top positions. With Nigeria, Benin, Lesotho, and other contenders vying for a World Cup ticket, every point now carries even greater weight. For South Africa, the punishment is a bitter setback that underscores the importance of administrat...

  At the Ansar-Ud-Deen Mosque in Sabo, Osogbo, the Osun State capital, the Muslim Political Awareness Front (MUPAF) convened on Saturday 27th Sept, 2025, for a candid conversation on the place of Muslims in the state’s politics and Nigeria at large. Delivering her address, proprietress of Molek Schools and Mother of the Day at the event, Alhaja Funmilayo Adeniyi, emphasized that the future of Muslim political relevance lies in education and values. She charged all women to build a home strengthened by knowledge and God's fear. “We must give our children quality education, Quranic knowledge, and also allow them to participate in politics. Every woman must build a home in Allah's guild,” she urged,  She however, urge MUPAF to look beyond mere grievances and pursue sustainable empowerment through learning and strategy, warning that sentiments without planning would keep Muslims at the margins of political power. The programme which was described as a “frank talk,” highlighted the...

  Ward 02, Oriade came alive yesterday as loyalists of Hon. Oluwole Oke made a massive and formal switch from the PDP to the APC. The atmosphere was electrifying as the APC leadership in Oriade, under the guidance of Hon. Golo Ajewole, officially welcomed the new entrants into the party’s fold. Songs, cheers, and renewed chants of solidarity filled the air, marking what many described as a decisive turning point in the politics of Oriade. This development did not come as a surprise to keen observers. Oke had earlier warned that he still had strong supporters who might make their stand known at the right time. Yesterday’s defection stands as a clear testament to that statement. With this wave of defections, the PDP in Oriade faces a fresh political test, while the APC continues to strengthen its grassroots structure ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial election in Osun State. As the political climate heats up, all eyes will remain on Oriade Ward 02, which has now become a microcosm of th...

  By Abioye Tosin Lawrence  The lessons every Nigerian must draw from the uproar over the “unrhymed solemn song” at the Olubadan coronation is bigger than Taye Currency himself. It is a mirror to us,  a nation that has accultured itself into waiting for a man’s slip, a single gaffe, and then using it as fuel for clout, relevance, and endless dragging. A few months ago, it was K1 De Ultimate who was on the altar of ridicule; today it is Taye Currency. The pattern is the same: a single performance, a line, or a gesture, suddenly inflated into a national debate. And once the outrage fire is lit, the “parallel court” of social media begins its trial without lawyers, without evidence, without mercy. We are in a state whereby those who carry the true value, those working silently to rebuild our image, those doing things genuinely and consistently, receive little or no attention. Instead, the nation waits for something bad to happen, for someone to stumble, so that every man and...

  …As Corps Commander Omoyele Commissions New Area Command Office in Agbowo-Iwo The Oluwo of Iwo, His Royal Majesty Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu I, has lauded the performance of the Osun Amotekun Corps, describing its efforts in combating crime and enhancing community security as “remarkable and commendable.” The first-class monarch made this statement on Thursday when he received the leadership of the Osun Amotekun Corps at his palace ahead of the official commissioning of the newly constructed Iwo Area Command Office of the Corps in Agbowo. The visit was led by the Corps Commander, High Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, alongside the Field Commander, Dr. Hon. Olusoji Benedict Akanni. In his remarks, Oba Akanbi expressed his initial skepticism when the Amotekun security initiative was first introduced across the South-West geopolitical zone, especially in the wake of rising insecurity and attacks on farmers by suspected herdsmen. “At the inception, I doubted what Amo...

  The lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke, has extended warm felicitations to former Osun State Governor and Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, on the occasion of his 71st birthday. In a goodwill message issued on behalf of his constituents, Hon. Oke, who also chairs the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, described Oyetola as a quintessential leader, bridge-builder, and statesman whose life of service continues to inspire confidence in Nigeria’s democratic process. “As Gov ernor, he championed policies of prudence, inclusiveness, and progress which laid enduring foundations for socio-economic growth in Osun State,” Oke noted. “Today, in his national assignment as Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, he continues to demonstrate vision, diligence, and commitment towards repositioning Nigeria’s maritime sector as a veritable engine for growth, trade, and global competiti...

  A passionate call for unity among Muslims in Yorubaland has been made by the Grand Mufti of Yorubaland, Sheikh Dahood Imran Molaasan. The Islamic leader who made the call at the Public Orientation programme organised by the Muslim Political Awareness Front (MUPAF) held at the Ansar-ud-Deen Event Hall, Sabo, Osogbo, Osun State on Saturday said the unity is important for political relevance, stressing that without cohesion, the muslim community will continue to remain politically disadvantaged. Speaking at the gathering, Grand Mufti of Yorubaland lamented the lack of unity within the Muslim community in the southwest, saying "Yoruba Muslims are fragmented into numerous groups and led by leaders often plagued by apathy, leaving them politically vulnerable. He contrasted this with the Christian community, citing the last presidential election where, in his words, “Christians unanimously voted for Peter Obi under the umbrella of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).”  He de...

  Obokun/Oriade Federal lawmaker, Hon. Oluwole Oke, has joined voices across Yorubaland in honouring the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on the grand celebration of the 2025 Olojo Festival. In a personally signed statement, Oke described the festival as more than just a cultural event, noting that it symbolizes the divine moment when “day became day” (Ojo ti Ojo di Ojo), underscoring Ile-Ife’s revered place as the cradle of the Yoruba race. “The Olojo Festival is a festival of destiny. It represents spiritual renewal, the triumph of light over darkness, and a unifying platform for all true sons and daughters of Oduduwa across the world,” he said. The lawmaker, who chairs the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, stressed that the festival serves as both a demonstration of Yoruba collective heritage and a reminder of their shared history. “Olojo transcends entertainment. It embodies our pride, affirms our history, and charts the path for our ...

  At the Ansar-Ud-Deen Mosque in Sabo, Osogbo, the Osun State capital, the Muslim Political Awareness Front (MUPAF) gathered on Saturday for a Public Orientation Programme on the place of Muslims in the state and national politics. In a frank conversation among dignitaries at the event, MUPAF leadership lamented marginalisation in sharing the public resource, noting that the promises made by the political class to Muslims especially MUPAF members who worked for their emergence were unfulfilled up till now. In his lecture, Sheikh Daood Imran Malaasan Grand Mufti of Yorubaland emphasized that only Muslims in Osun who vote in unity can determine who becomes governor. He reminded MUPAF of its unrewarded struggles in the past political dispensations, warning against repeating the same mistakes. “We need to ask ourselves, who is using our votes?” he queried. “Even President Bola Tinubu knows MUPAF’s role in the Southwest, but when he invited the Southwest Imams to Abuja and gave them ca...

  Dozens of United Nations delegates staged a dramatic walkout during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address on Thursday, underscoring deep divisions over Israel’s policies in Gaza and the occupied territories. The protest unfolded at the UN General Assembly in New York, where Netanyahu sought to defend Israel’s military actions and outline his government’s stance on regional security. As he began speaking, a coalition of diplomats rose from their seats and filed out in silence, leaving rows of empty chairs in their wake. Observers described the walkout as one of the most visible acts of defiance against Israel’s leadership on the global stage in recent months. Delegates who left the chamber later accused Netanyahu of using “inflammatory rhetoric” and ignoring the humanitarian toll of the conflict. Netanyahu, appearing unfazed, pressed on with his speech. He insisted that Israel’s actions were aimed at defending its citizens and countering what he called “terrorist threats.” H...

  In a dramatic turn of events, a former senior FBI official has been formally charged amid growing concerns that former President Donald Trump is intensifying efforts to punish perceived enemies. The case, which legal analysts describe as both politically charged and symbolic, comes at a time when Trump and his allies have openly vowed to “clean house” in federal institutions if he returns to power. Observers warn that this move could mark the beginning of a broader campaign aimed at reshaping the justice system in his favor. Critics argue that the charges reflect a dangerous pattern of weaponizing the justice system, blurring the line between accountability and political vengeance. Trump, however, has consistently maintained that his actions are justified, framing them as part of a long-standing effort to expose what he calls the “deep state.” The development has reignited debates about the independence of federal agencies, the resilience of U.S. democratic institutions, and the ...

  A mining pit collapse in Zamfara State has left scores of people feared dead, sparking fresh concerns over the dangers of unregulated mining in the region. The incident occurred on Friday in the Maradun Local Government Area, where dozens of artisanal miners were reportedly inside the pit when it caved in. Eyewitnesses said rescuers rushed to the site, but many victims remained trapped beneath the rubble. Authorities confirmed the collapse but could not immediately provide an exact casualty figure. Local residents, however, said the number of fatalities could rise significantly as rescue efforts continue. Illegal mining has long been a major issue in Zamfara, a state rich in gold and other minerals but plagued by poor regulation, banditry, and unsafe mining practices. Experts warn that the lack of safety measures and oversight makes such disasters all but inevitable. Governor Dauda Lawal expressed shock at the tragedy and directed emergency agencies to intensify rescue operations...

  A disturbing scene unfolded recently when an officer of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was caught on video shoving a woman forcefully to the ground. The footage, which has since gone viral, has sparked outrage and renewed debates on the conduct of law enforcement officials, especially in sensitive immigration cases. Eyewitnesses report that the incident occurred during an attempt by ICE agents to make an arrest. The woman, whose identity has not yet been made public, appeared to be caught in the middle of the confrontation. Rather than de-escalating the situation, one of the agents pushed her down, drawing cries of alarm from bystanders. Critics argue that this incident is not isolated but reflects a broader culture of excessive force often associated with immigration enforcement. Human rights advocates are now demanding an immediate investigation, calling for accountability and training reforms within the agency. Meanwhile, ICE has yet to issue an official st...

  The tragedy of Nigeria is no longer just about the corruption of its leaders; it is about the memory being forced upon its youth. For more than six decades since independence, every generation of young Nigerians has been promised hope but handed hardship, promised progress but forced into failure. Today, younger Nigerians are not merely witnesses to these failures,  they are inheritors and, tragically, promoters of a culture that normalizes hardship as the only reality. This memory will haunt them forever. We live in a nation where young people know more about scarcity than abundance, more about unemployment than opportunity, and more about political betrayal than patriotic trust. The daily rhythm of life for millions of youth is not marked by dreams of innovation or creativity, but by queues at embassies for visas, by struggles to escape through “japa,” and by a survival instinct that rewards shortcuts over hard work. The tragedy is that what should have been rejected is no...

  In the early hours of Friday morning, tension gripped Ogo-Oluwa as a suspected member of a fraternity was apprehended around Alahusa Mosque. The incident, which occu rred at about 1:00 a.m., drew the attention of residents after the suspect was reportedly caught using strange incantations to command and confuse a local street guard. According to eyewitnesses, the man was overheard chanting in hunter’s slang while allegedly attempting to exercise mystical influence over those nearby. Items recovered from him include a car key, a master key, and a magnet believed to be used to attract mobile phones. Community members expressed relief over his arrest, describing the situation as a reminder of the need for vigilance, particularly during night hours. "The suspect will be transferred to the appropriate security operatives for further investigation and prosecution.”

Former Arsenal youth forward Billy Vigar has tragically died at the age of 21 following a serious brain injury sustained during a lower-league football match. Vigar, who came through Arsenal’s academy and later played for Chichester City in the Isthmian League, collapsed after a head collision during a league fixture. He was placed in an induced coma and underwent emergency surgery in an attempt to save his life. Sadly, he passed away on Thursday, September 25, 2025. Chichester City confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement, paying tribute to the young striker’s talent and character both on and off the pitch. Arsenal also expressed condolences, describing Vigar as “a promising player who left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.” The football community has poured out tributes across social media, remembering Vigar as a gifted player whose career was only just beginning. Vigar’s death comes as a painful reminder of the dangers athletes face in contact sports, and many have ...

  The recent story of  content creator Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, better known as Mandy Kiss, attempting to “take in 100 men in one day” for a supposed Guinness World Record (GWR), has stirred global attention. Thankfully, GWR promptly rejected the bizarre idea, stating, “We don’t monitor such.” Yet, the mere association of Nigeria with such a scandal is troubling. Nigeria is a nation of immense promise, celebrated for groundbreaking achievements in arts, sports, innovation, and resilience. To link the country’s name to an outlandish stunt is not just embarrassing, it is an aberration. Our global identity should not be reduced to clout-driven antics that serve no constructive purpose. This moment should also serve as a caution to unprofessional content creators. The digital space offers endless opportunities for creativity, influence, and impact, but chasing shock value at the expense of dignity and national reputation is a dangerous path. In the quest for quick fame, many forget...

Amb. Mario stands as one of the few young emerging leaders genuinely committed to the reawakening of the younger generation through his selective and principled struggle.

For in a time when committed volunteers are rare, his consistency and dedication are a torch of hope for many.

  The twenty-first century was supposed to be defined by technology, progress, and global cooperation. Instead, a microscopic virus brought the world to its knees, and before the dust of the pandemic could settle, wars erupted, tearing open old wounds and drawing new battle lines. From the deserted streets of lockdown cities to the devastated towns of Ukraine and Gaza, humanity has stumbled from crisis to crisis. What once felt like a predictable world order has given way to uncertainty, a fragile era where health, security, and peace no longer feel guaranteed. The Pandemic That Shook the World COVID-19 did not merely claim millions of lives; it exposed vulnerabilities in every system we thought was secure. Economies collapsed, borders closed, and fear became a global language. It was not just a health crisis, it was a test of governance, solidarity, and resilience. The virus revealed deep inequalities: while wealthy nations hoarded vaccines, poorer countries were left waiting. Tru...

   Osogbo, Nigeria The League of Peace Ambassadors, Humanity and Human Rights Advocates (LOPAHHRA) has expressed deep concern over alleged attempts by some influential political figures in Osun State to interfere in the ongoing investigations and legal processes surrounding the recent arrest of members of a notorious killer gang by the Anti-Cultism Unit of the Nigeria Police Force, Osun State Command. In a strongly worded statement released today, LOPAHHRA commended the Nigeria Police Force for what it described as a “commendable feat deserving accolades,” following the successful apprehension of several high-profile gang members who have allegedly terrorized Osogbo and its environs for years. Among those arrested were the gang’s feared leader Oriyomi, also known as Yahoo, his deputy Mafia, and four other key members. In a further breakthrough, another notorious figure, Waliyi Adejare, popularly known as JayJay, was also captured. Intelligence reports suggest JayJay was not on...

  By Oriontimes Sports Desk Aston Villa’s frustrating start to the season continued as Sunderland’s Black Cats held Unai Emery’s men to a draw, prolonging Villa’s wait for a first Premier League victory this campaign. Despite flashes of attacking intent from Villa, the newly promoted Sunderland side showed grit and resilience at the Stadium of Light, with goalkeeper heroics and disciplined defending frustrating the visitors. The home fans roared as their team denied one of the league’s elite managers another chance to finally celebrate three points. Unai Emery, who has faced growing pressure after a string of disappointing results, cut a dejected figure on the touchline as Villa’s profligacy in front of goal once again proved costly. Sunderland, on the other hand, celebrated the draw like a victory, with their unbeaten home run still intact. The result leaves Villa still searching for a breakthrough win, while Sunderland continue to grow in confidence as they adapt to life back in ...

  By Oriontimes Sports Desk Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli was the star of the show on Sunday evening at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners battled Manchester City to a tense stalemate in the English Premier League. The Brazilian winger tormented City’s new shot-stopper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, with dazzling footwork and blistering runs, drawing gasps from the home crowd and forcing the Italian goalkeeper into several desperate saves. Despite Martinelli’s brilliance, neither side could find the breakthrough in what proved to be a tactical chess match between Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola. Arsenal’s defensive discipline frustrated City’s attacking trio, while Donnarumma’s heroics denied the Gunners a late winner. The draw leaves both teams locked in the title race, with fans already tipping this fixture as a preview of a season-long battle for supremacy.
