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...

 ABIA STATE — In a report made available to Orion Times via Esv. Saheed Abiodun, the National President of the Oscotech Alumni Association Worldwide, Dr. Adewale Afolabi, Ph.D, FMNES, MNIM, has formally congratulated several members of the association following their successful emergence into strategic leadership positions within the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV).



The congratulatory message followed the conclusion of the NIESV national elections held in Abia State from Tuesday, 14th to Sunday, 19th April 2026, where members of the Oscotech Alumni Association recorded notable electoral successes across various leadership positions.


Dr. Afolabi described the development as a significant milestone for the association, noting that it reflects the growing influence, professional excellence, and leadership capacity of Oscotech alumni within the national structure of the estate surveying profession in Nigeria.


According to the election outcome, the following members of the association were elected into different offices:


Esv. Ayodele Olamoju emerged as Honorary National Publicity Secretary, while Esv. Odebode Oluseyi was elected as Honorary National Assistant Treasurer. Others who secured positions as members of council include Esv. Monday Olodu, Esv. Mutiu Balogun, Esv. (Pastor) Victor Ayeye, Esv. Seyi Adebayo, Esv. Abdulazeez Olabode, and Esv. Adekunle Adedoye.


Commending their achievement, the National President praised the unity, commitment, and resilience demonstrated by the members during the electoral process, describing their victory as both personal and collective pride for the alumni body and Oscotech, Esa-Oke.


He, however, urged the newly elected officials to uphold the core values of integrity, transparency, accountability, and teamwork in their new roles, stressing that they serve as ambassadors of the institution and the alumni association.


“As representatives of our great association, ensure you maintain the integrity we are known for and make meaningful impact in your various capacities at both chapter and national levels,” the statement read.


Dr. Afolabi further assured the elected members of his continuous support and celebration of their success, extending what he described as a “handshake of honour” to all winners.

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 ...
