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...

Osun 2027: Odo Otin Parapo Movement Calls For Credible Candidates In Odo Otin

 


Comrade Saheed Adeyeye Abiodun, popularly known as Ajfat Agro, has called for equity and fitness in the representation Ifelodun/Boripe/Odo Otin Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives.


He spoke candidly while appearing on a popular podcast titled LERO TEMI with Mukhtar Ajelogbon in Osogbo where he highlights the importance of picking credible candidates who truly understand and serve the people by the political parties especially candidates from Odo Otin Local Government in the 2027 election.


According to him,


“It's crucial to choose an indigene of Odo Otin who is respected and genuinely accepted by the community.


“We must prioritize someone virtuous, someone who listens, understands the needs of the people, and shows pity for the common man. Wealth or status should never outweigh integrity.


"However, all the political parties must prioritize fairness and equality in their arrangements. The tickets should be given to any competency candidate within the Odo Otin Local Government to represent our Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives in 2027."


Ajfat Agro emphasized that enforcing unpopular candidates or returning the tickets to the same local government representing us for a long time will only discourage voter participation. “Even if a candidate lacks resources, we are willing to provide support, as long as they are someone we know, trust, and who has a heart for service, particularly within Odo Otin Local Government” he added.


Comrade Saheed Adeyeye stresses that leadership in Odo Otin should be about character, service, and connection to the people, not personal gain or influence.

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 ...
