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...

The Next Level Progressives Movement (NLPM) has reaffirmed its commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the gubernatorial aspiration of Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) through a gesture of appreciation to its members in Osogbo.



Speaking during a gathering of party loyalists and supporters, the Coordinator of the movement, Chief Owoeye Samuel Abiodun (OSA), emphasized the need for members to remain steadfast and united in advancing the progressive agenda ahead of the next governorship election in Osun State.


As part of efforts to strengthen party solidarity and reward commitment among grassroots supporters, Chief Owoeye announced that free fuel would be distributed to commercial motorcycle operators (Okada riders) affiliated with the movement.



The beneficiaries, drawn from various parts of Osogbo including Okefia, Old Garage, Stadium Area, and surrounding communities, expressed appreciation for the initiative and pledged their unwavering support for the APC and the gubernatorial ambition of Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji.



According to the riders' leaders, the upcoming election presents an opportunity for a new phase of leadership in Osun State, adding that they are prepared to mobilize support for the APC candidate.


Addressing members, Chief Owoeye expressed confidence in the party's chances at the polls.


"I want to assure you that AMBO will emerge as the next Governor of Osun State. You can take it to the bank," he declared.


He further urged members of the movement and party faithful not to be discouraged by political opposition, stressing that those who have invested their time and resources in the progressive cause should remain committed and resolute.


Chief Owoeye encouraged supporters to continue strengthening the grassroots structures of the party, maintaining that unity, loyalty, and sustained engagement with the electorate would be crucial to achieving victory in the forthcoming governorship election.


The event attracted party stakeholders, grassroots mobilizers, youth supporters, and commercial motorcycle operators who reiterated their commitment to the progressive movement and its vision for Osun State.

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 ...
