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.

Nigerian-born powerhouse Oba Femi has opened up on the pivotal decision that reshaped his career, walking away from a promising future in athletics to pursue global stardom in WWE.
Before the bright lights, roaring crowds, and championship aspirations, Oba Femi was on a different path entirely. As a rising talent in shot put, he had his eyes firmly set on representing at the highest levels, with dreams of the Olympic stage within reach. His physical strength, discipline, and competitive drive made him one of the most promising prospects in the field.
However, beneath the surface of structured competition and measured throws, a different calling was brewing.
According to Femi, the transition was not impulsive but deeply intentional. He sought a platform that allowed for more expression, one that combined athleticism with personality, storytelling, and global reach. That platform, he found, was WWE.
“Wrestling gave me something athletics couldn’t,” he hinted in a recent revelation. “It gave me a voice, a stage, and the chance to connect with millions beyond just performance.”
Since making the switch, Oba Femi has wasted no time in establishing himself as a force to reckon with. His commanding presence, explosive power, and charisma have quickly set him apart in WWE’s highly competitive environment. Fans and analysts alike have taken notice of his meteoric rise, with many tipping him as a future champion.
His journey reflects a broader narrative about modern athletes—where talent alone is no longer enough, and the ability to entertain, inspire, and engage plays a defining role in success.
From the throwing circle to the squared ring, Oba Femi’s story is not just about changing careers—it’s about choosing impact over convention, and redefining what it means to be a Nigerian athlete on the global stage.
