" ACCORD PARTY IS STILL WIDELY OPEN, FOR MORE MEMBERS TO BELONG"-DR DOYIN OKUPE.

Ogun State Accord Party at her office inside Kolanut House, along Lagos/Abeokuta Expressway, Ita-Oshin Abeokuta, Ogun State was agog with funfare on Tuesday 21st of November, 2017, with the throng of people and teeming members in attendance , to witness the party congress event in the state.
 The occasion which was graced by many of the party dignitaries, stalwarts and stakeholders among who Dr, Doyin Okupe; the National leader of the party, the Accord Party Ogun State Chairman; Elder Amusat Isiaka, Ekiti Accord Party Gubernatorial Aspirant; Akogun Banji Ojo, the Accord Party Ogun State Publicity Secretary; 'ASOJUOBA' Micheal Adesanya were in attendance, to bear witness to the positive response of the Accord Party admirers, fans and supporters from many states of the Federation, who were present, eulogizing on the great impact and good impression  Accord Party had effected on their numerous supporters, cutting across the nooks and corners of the country; seeing Accord Party as the "third-force party of the masses", that would save and bail them out of the present mess the country had found herself, by the misdeeds of the so called politicians, in the previously formed parties, especially PDP and APC.
Here some of the Accord Party supporters and members interviewed adduced some points to buttressed their believe that Accord Party has sprung back to action and vibrancy, in making sure the less-privileged and masses in general were now more enlightened and educated by the Accord Party adhoc committee's machinery, to know better that Accord Party is a party greatly relevant now, out of the parties in existence presently in Nigeria, that is well grounded and masses oriented, to free the less-privileged in the country from poverty and the snare and trap of the oppressors called leaders.
 And that the party is now relevantly at an advantage, to prove the worth of her relevance come 2019 general election.
 Here Dr. Doyin Okupe;one of the National leaders of the Accord Party from Ogun State reiterated that politics which is by proper arrangement should be an effective means through which the lives of the masses should be improved upon and that this is what Accord Party stands for and that this is what the party is ready to achieve, come 2019, by moving into the position of governance of the country; Nigeria, which would be by the overwhelming support from the entire masses of the country, who had been greatly suffering, from the oppression, suppression of the elites, in the other parties that have been existing thus far in the country.
 He further stressed on his argument that the so called leaders have deviated from their expected responsibilities, in being concerned about the welfare of the citizens, which he regretfully bemoaned, to be a big slap on the real essence of democracy.
 However, he concluded to say that Accord Party means business, hence the party is still having a wide room to accommodate many of the prospective members, who are already planning to join the party, this he said was allowed in order to have a stronghold and sound footing, for the party and thus make sure many of these new members would be allowed to come in , for much good responsibilities to be apportioned to them, so as to have  the feel of the positive sense of belonging, while they would never regret to have taken the decision, to have joined the party eventually, as his membership in the Accord Party is certainly for good and to establish equality of roles, responsibilities and of a resounding membership.
  In the statement of the Ogun State Accord Party Chairman; Chief Amusat Isiaka, described the renewal of Accord Party presently as refurbishing the house that truly belongs to the generality of the masses, rather than individual, so since PDP had neglected the people and that APC is not performing; then Accord Party is the 'third force party' to take over the rein of governance come 2019, here he expressed his surprise that within the three and the half months; Accord Party in Ogun State had done well; considering the much success of the two hundred and thirty-six ward exco, twenty local governments exco and the provision of comfortable offices to take off well in Ogun State, for political activities towards 2019 general election.
 He therefore denoted Accord Party as the party of welfarism, which has much concern to better the living standard of the masses, yet Accord is a party where there is no manipulation, godfather-ism but one needs to work to eat.
  Akogun Banji Ojo; the Accord Party Ekiti State Gubernatorial Candidate in his own view accounted that both PDP and APC that had been having the advantage to rule performed below the expectation, hence Accord Party as a formidable party and that of the masses is ready to liberate the masses from poverty while the Accord Party members are capable to face the challenges from any quarter, to achieve their goals.
 He also highlighted on his point that Accord Party as a party with human face,  is already proffering solutions and ideas to developing the youth, helping the women, yet the youth are free to contest on the platform of Accord Party, he confidently vouched that Accord Party would change things for better in Ekiti State come 2019 if voted in as the next Governor of the Ekiti State, as almost one thousand hectares of Cocoa plantation is underway to be actualized, which would be as a means of decongesting the labour market for employment sake, on this he defended the reason why going back to farm is essential.
  The Ogun State Accord Party Publicity secretary; ASOJUOBA Micheal Adesanya promised that with the present adhoc committee readily making much good moves and preparation, it is certain Accord Party is winning overwhelmingly come 2019.

 N.B:-Meanwhile we hereby tender our apology for the delay in the exclusive interview we had with the President of Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees,NULGE Oyo State Chapter; Comrade Bayo Titilola Sodo while we promised that it would be the next publication after this, thanks for your usual cooperation.



   

" IF THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE FAIR TO NIGERIANS AND HERSELF THEY WOULD KNOW THAT LESS THAN TEN PERCENT OF SUCH LOAN AVAILABLE HAS BEEN ACCESSED, WHICH MEANS THERE IS A BOTTLENECK THERE AND GOVERNMENT SHOULD FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE BOTTLENECK AND DO THE NEEDFUL TO REMOVE THE BOTTLENECK , SO THAT MORE PEOPLE CAN GO ONTO THE FARM TO TILL THE LAND AND BRING IN MORE FOOD, TO PUT POVERTY AT BAREST MINIMUM "-PRESIDENT WEST AGRO INPUT DEALERS ASSOCIATION; AGRARIAN OLAYINKA AMAO AKINMADE.

    

  Nigeria as a great nation abounds in both natural and human resources but as in accordance to an adage "It is when one hasn't gone thus far one may be questioning the fact against the hypothesis and in the quest to actualize the fact that to bail out our country from this queer-mire it found itself then we believe "all hands must be on deck", hence we focus our tentacle towards agricultural sector, here we bent over backward to get an experienced practitioner; and an age-long pragmatic farmer in person Agrarian Olayinka Amoo Akinmade, who is also the President of West Agro Input Dealers who technically and professional proffered some practicable suggestions and tips, on how those in the corridor of power in Nigeria can get the country out of the myriad  problems it has found itself, especially the area of unemployment of the numerous graduates, that the several nation's universities have been producing into the labour market, without any jobs available for them to be engaged into, for their means of livelihood.
 And here underneath our exclusive interview with him went thus as unwind-ed below  :

 Introduce yourself Sir?

 My names are Olayinka Amoo Akinmade, President of West Agro Input Dealers Association  which is the body that represents all people; who market agricultural Input in the South West and that is why we call it WAIDA; West Agro Input Dealers Association , we have about six of such groups all over Nigeria that is in the six geo-political zones of the Federation of Nigeria.

 Farmers might have one or two stories to tell, then as a stakeholder in the agricultural sector how has the business being, since the inception of this present regime in power ?

 Thank you very much for the question, this present regime came in May 29, 2015 and as if it was the fact bringing in a lot of hope to all Nigerians but unfortunately it was greatly threatening just a few months after this present regime came in, with a lot of hope particularly for agriculture because they have realized from inception of this regime that the way out for Nigeria; particularly vice a vice employment and all that is agriculture which takes in large population of citizens, so they believe if they go into such an occupation, first it would get most of our citizens gainfully employed, secondly it would provides food for the tables and finally it would also improve the GDP of the Federation, which was hitherto running on a mono-economic-mode of life; which is petroleum, but suddenly recession crept in and you see a lot of things came in with the recession, first the rate they change the naira to dollar ; the exchange rate went bad, as high as going beyond the roof-top and this actually created a lot of problems for farmers because anybody who wanted to do a good farming business particularly arable crop farming would know that he cannot do it with the old hoe and cutlass thing, which is always accompanying with a lot of drudgery, such that a farmer would only be able to do one or two hectares of farm-land, this has been at very very painful level, so they need products that come from developed world like the inputs, fertilizers, chemicals, spraying-equipment, tractors and what-have-you,  so this actually could no longer be easily acquired, because a lot more (million) naira is now needed, to acquire even the simple chemical products, that we use to control weeds and worn-offs, insects on farms and all that , so this is actually part of what the farmers are really experiencing now, so we need more money to do the same type of farm we use to do with much less money in the past.

 With the present challenges what is the way out?

Thank you very much , the way out is easy to recognize but actually most often it is the implementation , for example the Federal Government claims they have a lot of money they set aside through the Central Bank of Nigeria for farmers to borrow and do the farming business and they even claims that most of this money go under the single-digit interest rate and they don't also take any collateral from farmers, to be able to acquire this bu how easy is it for farmers to actually access this fund , if the government will be fair to Nigerians and herself they would know that less than ten percent of such fund available has been access which then means there is a bottleneck there and government should find out what is causing the bottleneck and do the needful , to remove the bottleneck so that more people can go onto the farmland to till the land and bring in more foods and of course where there is sufficiency of food then poverty is reduced to the barest minimum, that is what the adage says.

 Farmers are expressing reservation over the high cost of agricultural input hence it is affecting their produce , what do you think can be done to bring the cost of these agricultural  input down?

 Thank you very much , it is still the government, because the government must provide the enabling environment, in each situation where farmers are having difficulties . it is strange when developed world tells our own government; don't give subsidy, if you want to give subsidy ; do it this way, don't do it that way", which they know would be difficult to implement , in the developed world there is no where either in Europe , America or even far East where subsidy is not given, in such a way as to reduce the aches and pains of farmers , in fact in US it goes beyond just giving subsidy, when they know farmers have produced and they cannot sell they even go to the extent of taking these products together and then pouring it back into the storage, so that they can control all the farmers and ensure that each farmer is able to return to the farm, but not in Nigeria , it is always a spiral thing in Nigeria , they make you farmer this year there is surplus  and then you feel unhappy, you withdraw from the farm and only for scarcity to creep in the following year and everybody now rushes in, after that and it goes on and on like that, so there is the year of surplus and scarcity alternately and this cannot even encourage the farmers and it does not also provide for citizens to be adequately fed and that is why we have the complaint of hunger all over Nigeria.

 In respect of unemployment couple with the large number of graduates from the nation's numerous universities that are not adequately engaged to any meaningful jobs , what is your association doing to get this rectified by initiating different ideas for their employment?

 Thank you very much , our politicians in this country sorry to say are very selfish , selfish in the sense that what drives them into the politics is the emolument, as against true politics , they don't most of the time put on their thinking caps, to ensure that they work out some models, that will make the Nigerians get out of recession, either by way of encouraging the young graduates to go into farms and if you want to encourage them to go into farms you must provide the necessary things, that will give them the encouragement , somebody that has always being used to the electricity you want to send him to the village or bush where he would now even light the candle to put up light at night ; that one will not be acceptable again, even when you are asking people to go to farm before harvesting their crops is there anything for them to take as loan facilities, okay! while you are producing this crop we give you loan for your up-keeps, so that by the time you harvest your crops we take the money from your harvested crops proceeds, no government does that

 Sir! as the President of WAIDA that specializes in chemical and application,what have you been doing to educate our farmers, in the use of chemical on their finished harvests in the storage, as you can note that some of the exporters of our grains from home were disappointed ,to have had their grains returned, on the excuse of overactive effect of chemical on their produce? 

 Thank you very much, I think it is a programme that should be jointly carried out,we do our own bit, we run radio programmes, we invite experts from the agric sub-sectors of the economy right from the research institutes, ministries, big-time-farmers, to come and talk and educate farmers,in what to do , how to do,where and when to do ,so that if people listen to all this,we even bring experts from the storage aspect of the Federal Government parastatals, but again it has to be well coordinated ,it has to relate back to the Ministry of Agric and of course Ministry of Science and Technology such that we recognize or try to find out what happened in other places,for example on our perishables, after-all when you have mangoes,oranges and such things in other countries, such like Saudi Arabia, Jordan etc they know how to preserve these fruits, such that it keeps for a very many weeks, before it goes bad, but the government who says I wants to produce food must also recognize that they need to do something,that must encourage storage facility and little research can be joined into t5his , by the parastatals  and organizations related to this,like NIHORT, the CRIN and all these government parastatals that has one thing or two on what to do,now they are talking about taking yams to oversea without trying to make sure it keeps for some good period of time, I doubt if they will meet with the level  of acceptability,that they are actually hoping for, so we have some experts there that is for root-crops,that can go to research,that can find out how long can our yams last, without getting rotten or breaking into pieces and such that when you export them the people there we meet them in the right quality of their harvest, so that it would encourage good revenue.

 What is your message from your end to the public?

 Well, our large-time customers are doing their bids and a lot of people are returning to the farm and in fact I think more women are now doing farming business than men and the only thing I would say is that they should keep it up, occasionally when you go into the farm you don't instantly begin to gain but if you stay on it within a short period of time everything would balance up and it could be a positive growth rather than some "come see; come saw",so that there could be a year of good weather;a year of not good weather, a year of even distribution of breaks, another year of floods and things like that but if you stay with it, you gain more experience and you get better as a farmer and you will be producing more for the country and so much talk about food sufficiency for Nigeria citizens would come in and we have more people going into farm.

 Sir, finally coming down to your association how has the association fare and what is your words of encouragement to the members of your association?

 Well,our association is now a national association we as WAIDA and it exists as regional association in the six-Geo-political zones-of the Federation of the Federation, with the headquarter in Abuja, yes! we have a lot of people in our association now and the good thing is that most of them are very trained in the professions they have chosen ,therefore we don't have any fear of any wrong doing being done from that , but what we have to say is that we want to encourage more people, for example is that on the other question of the young school leavers;if they come in and they got trained the thing there is that they would have some gainful jobs,to be doing and it could encourage them to go into farms-business,apart from selling input, when they know what input would do well on the farm, they can be encouraged on that to make some farms,which would grow from small farmstomake them even become big-term farmers.

 This is how we came to the conclusion of the ever authoritative and richly embedded but professional tips and facts, about what the government needs to do, especially the government of the day in Nigeria, to bail the country out from the myriad problems, bedevil-ling it and her numerous youth, especially in the area of unemployment, hunger and substituting the mono-economic mode, which is petroleum, with agriculture the only mainframe to the buoyant economic of  any nation, for more development in all ramification.

 





  

  

" IFELEYE MARKET, OGUNPA IBADAN LEADS OTHER MARKETS FOLLOW "-Alhaji Olusola Olalere aka "Kowosi"

The Ifeleye Market, Ibadan Excecutive members in the preparation for the coming Ileya festival have assured their various customers to know that the market's executive are already putting things in place to make sure there are constant and consistent planning and arrangement to make sure they enjoy the patronage being given to them and that the buyers and sellers relationship between them is not affected nor damaged during any festival nor the regular activities.
 Here the Baale of Ifeleye Market Chief/ Alhaji Moronkola Bakare enunciated on the popularity, prominence and validity of Ifeleye Market as an age-long market with several and law abiding traders who are majorly into the sales of new spare-parts of the various automobile, machines and motor-driven appliances of any kind.
 But stressed that the market being one of the best in the South West is always patronize by people from different corners and crannies of the country; Nigeria hence he and his executive members would want the government to give them support and thus affirmed that even the market engages the service of graduates , as the co-traders and active members in the running of activities in the market.
 This he emphasized that it has put the market at an advantageous position , to helping the economy of the state and the country in general.
 Therefore the market is said to consists of almost ten thousand people who daily come there to transact their commercial activities without no collusion of ideas nor violence of any kind, that could have erupted to disrupt the peace of the market.
 Meanwhile a call has been made by the Baale of the market; Alhaji Moronkola Bakare to the government to come to the assistance of some traders among them who need financial support to start well  or augment their businesses yet vouched of the fact that Ifeleye Market is one of the most patronized, progressive and peacefully coordinated market in the South West.
 However, the Balogun of the Ifeleye Market; Alhaji Moruff in his own statement reiterated that considering the importance and contribution of the market to both buyers and sellers from the crannies and corners of the country; Nigeria aside the economic impact of the market, through the commercial activities to the nation , it behooves the government to accord the market some infrastructural amenities, to facilitate more comfort and convenience for the throng of people that come to the market, from all angles of the country daily.
 Hence some social amenities like good toilets, security lights, spacious car-parks are suggested to be necessary, for construction within the market, to enhance both social and commercial development of the people, state and the country in general.
 Nonetheless, they thank the Oyo State Government under Governor Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi for his prompt and commendable stand and policy on the state of security in the state, which had stretched its impact to the market, as there has not being any case or occurrence of violence, burglary whatsoever in the market.
 To conclude on this Alhaji Olusola Olalere aka "Kowosi" defended that "Ifeleye Market, Ogunpa Ibadan leads while other markets follow".

  Reference the popular -demand by our numerous readers; cutting across the different classes of people, tribes, nationalities resident both home and abroad who were craving to be acquainted with some facts and not fallacy, on some mysterious subject-matters regarding power of prayers, impacts of faith and what value does God gives to prayer, through the various religions that exist all over the world; we deem it necessary on our part to go extra -length in making sure we dig-down into the subject-matter, on what 'prayer is all about, by starting from the right root; our locality, by proximity hence, our on-line editorial engaged the attention and understanding of a notable but young prophet of our time, in respect of Prophet Odekunle Epaphras of Comfort Life Mission International Church, located around Temidire Market, Opposite Wema Bank on the New-Ife Road along Gbagi Titun, Ibadan, who revealed some great facts and ideas about the importance of 'prayer', impact of faith to it and what importance God gives to both prayer through faith as scripturally emphasized that " Without faith no one can please God"
 On this he corroborated his facts and ideas, with citing some quotations thus-wise Jeremiah 33:3 , Hebrew 11:1 with making references to some instances about some great people of 'faith' like Abraham, Moses, Paul, Sarah and Hannah; stressing his facts to explain better, that there are three categories of responses God 'who answers prayers', always takes to react to human-beings' prayers, regardless of the religion any 'prayers' may be, hence he called one; automatic-prayer for automatic-answer, the second; a delayed-answer, while the third type of God's response is 'outright -no!
 -Here he tag the first type to the instance of Bartholomew's case of eye-restoration through Jesus Christ,which immediately he called on the Lord thus"Jesus Christ ; the son of David; please have mercy on me", his sight was restored. 
 -The second type of instance is that of Abraham and Sarah his wife who while they had asked God for at-least a child God later gave them a child; Isaac , at their old age.
 -The third type of instance is that of Moses and Paul which God out-rightly refused Moses from reaching the promised-land and that of Paul after he had prayed God did not grant answer to his request but emphasized to Paul that "My grace is enough for you".
 
 By and Large, this aforementioned- introduction or rather 'promo' to our exclusive interview with this man of God is of popular demand by many to be run in the language(Yoruba) by which we did the interview, in order to make intact and well outlined the richness and contextual quality of it, hence we are obliged to make sure since "There's no way to anywhere than to start from where one is", then we arrived at the conclusion that it behooves us to change our style in language at-least, if only for this exclusive-interview, yet we are not promising that we may not do so again, in near future or at intermittently, to be changing languages of our writing, as the time, nature, quality, taste, and circumstance warrant us to do, all is just to bring 'variety' into the worth of our responsibility to the readership, as "Variety is the spice of Life", so by adopting our native-language, this time around does not indicate any short-comings on the part of neither our guest nor our editorial.
 Thanks and be expecting a loaded and contextually but factual, rich and wholeness of the interview soon !

BARRISTER BAYO SHITTU CAMPAIGN TEAM FLAGS OFF: " By God's grace I'm ready to contest in 2019, as the Governor of Oyo State but do not want to contest for the fun of it yet with the experience I had gathered politically for forty-years so, you can't compare this with anybody's, I'm confident that we would be there by the grace of God Governor Ajimobi will raise my hand to signify this and it is God that will do it"-Barrister Bayo Shittu.

On the 2nd of July was a memorable day for all the friends, admirers, fans, supporters and family-members of the Honourable Minister of Communication Alhaji/Barrister Bayo Shittu who had waited thus far to hear from the horses's mouth; the barrister himself on some of the steps, decisions and moves they had expected him to acquaint them with, in respect of his aspiration to contest among other intending aspirants, for the Oyo State gubernatorial position come 2019 election, when the No1 seat would have been vacant for whosoever among the aspirants, to occupy through the election and the votes of the electorates.
 This they felt relieved of if for nothing but to shut up the mouths of the Minister's opponents and political rivals, that were thought to have been trading in politics of calumny against the candidature of the Honourable Minister Bayo Shittu, who suggestively being castigated in various ways veritably from some of his vestiges or vagaries of his style of life, prepositional attributes and religious status.
 But promptly to time and purposefulness of his agelong attitude to criticism and his apt calculation to responding to such ; he seized the occasion to highlight on some of his achievement thus far as a Minister of Communication, his gubernatorial ambition, vision mission and plans by reminiscing on what make him qualify, thick, eligible and the best candidate for the most exaltable position of No1 citizenship of the Oyo State government come 2019 election, after the electorates might have cast their votes, which he confidently reiterated that he had got the knock and endorsement of the incumbent Gover Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State.
 The event started well with throng of people being present at his residence located within Aerodrome Area of Samonda, Bodija Ibadan.And simply put the meeting commenced with some rendition to express gratitude to God, for making the day a reality hence, after prayer was observed and the national anthem recited; Barrister Bayo Shittu began with microphone in his hand, to address the teeming crowd reasons, objectives and his goal, here he started unwinding on his stewardship thus far as the Honourable Minister of Communication with the array of what he had achieved, enumerating thus " By the value of the news and breaking flashes of the headlines from some media and pages of the newspapers, with their expositions atleast I have been the most prominent Minister on coverage, regarding the different news of the ICT; Information Communication Technology development and the laudable initiatives of the Federal Government hence, Information Communication Technology contributes a lot to perennial and cultural development of any nation aside the fact that it enhances educational, commerce and industrial development.
 In my track record atleast almost fifteen conferences I had been fortunate to attend and there are two presently on the agenda for this month of July, for me to deliberate, discuss and negotiate on the transfer of the value of the ICT to Nigeria , for example Indian business men had promised to institute an investment of four billion naira in Nigeria before the end of the year 2017, when the benefit would be greatly manifesting , if well coordinated so Information Communication Technology can be definitively adopted, adapted and aligned to establish national development and lest I forget  this experience I would use to improve upon the economic development of the Oyo State if voted in as the overwhelming candidate and winner of Gubernatorial position in Oyo State come 2019 election.
 Before my ministerial appointment half a million telephone lines were not mobile which are permanently instituted inside your houses as table-phones and yet you go to NITEL to phone either locally or internationally,which within two minutes it had cost indebted you of two thousand naira but with Olusegun Obasanjo's initiative on GSM which came in promptly at the right time to cushion the pain, problems and placate the aggrieved majority members of the country as citizens of this great nation; Nigeria, came in the introduction of GSM courtesy Olusegun Obasanjo,with his effort and my built-ups came One hundred and fifty three million lines, though there are challenges on it as Oyo township to Saki; there is connectivity problems but plan is underway to rectify this, with the erection of many masts,so there would be nowhere that there willbe connectivity problem again.
    NIPOST is under us with stamp sales,posting activities but then it took one week,two or more weeks to reach the aimed destination which is very disappointing and discouraging but with GSM; it had been rectified especially considering Whatsapp, SMS, Emails on texting and sending message  promptly yet we are trying to improve with more telephone lines to further help E-commerce; before it took us pain and cost more to go to Maiduguri before we can do anything on E-commerce meant for the are but now from Lagos precisely and exactly you can buy, do everything about E-commerce, bargain while they promptly bring your goods to your doorstep from anywhere you order it from without being there yourself.
 Yet we don't want left unused the NIPOST post offices in almost One thousand and seven hundred spreading withinwithin Nigeria unused hence with NIPOST; E-commerce we can do better by helping people.
 On NIPOST E-Government Service- we arrived at the fact as all members of the citizenry scramble to obtain International Passport and since in each state only one passport issuance office we have under Immigration and it is causing more problems,for some people from the hinterland of far within the region ,to leave where they reside for the cities where some of these passport offices are located  , for example some people from Saki coming often as mandated by the immigration officers of passport office, it would cause more problems so in order to reduce the problems for those people applying for International Passport from these offices located at the cities,we arrived at an arrangement for these applicants going to post offices NIPOST near them in the villages of far from the cities, to fill their forms for the International Passport issuance or obtainance ,as the case may be instead of going through  the problems of coming to the cities ,from that distant places of theirs . And within a week he or she gets his or her passport after the whole process of the officialdom offilling had been completed.
 What about the Information Communication Technology for Youth Learning, this is to impart to the youth for them to understand and obtain the skill,to be self-employed so already One center is already established at Oke-Ogun Polytechnic Saki to be precise,with two hundred and fifty million being spent by the Federal Government.
 While another two of this type to be established in Ibadan because of Ibadan largeness so Governor Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi has given us some adequate piece of land to do it.
 In Nigeria with the seven hundred and four local governments courtesy the Federal Government we had introduced the idea of adapting the post offices to do bank work, here NIPOST departments to do Community Bank job in the alternative,so we call it NIPOST-BANK.
  On NIPOST Property and Development Plan- we have arranged to make sure some unused lands of the NIPOST would be lease to some companies for hundred years and to be developed as Community Settlement,where all communal infrastructure would be made available to enhance good living condition,for the settlers.
 NIPOST Transport and Logistic Service-With this we have arranged to commercialize some NIPOST unused vehicle which can be adapted and adopted to transport goods and convey people or commuters,for profit purposes,this would serves as succour, to the problem of transportation for the less-privileged and the downtrodden.
 To go personally I have been sinking at-least three motor-driven borehole each,in each local government which is to go round the thirty-three local governments in Oyo State  which I had already started with Saki and Iseyin local governments having theirs;three boreholes each, while Oluyole local government and Ibadan North local government are next this month of July.It is not the government that is doing this  but I'm personally doing it.
 To digress a bit from my personal contribution to the development of my society suffice I stress further that among the many good plans of the Federal government for the benefit of the citizenry alsoare
 School Knowledge Center;a smallette of the Information Communication Technology Centre for the students in Oyo State ,which we had built seven of it with the expectation to build more before the end of the year .
 ICT as termed otherwise denotedly thus Instructive /Destructive Technology because of the constant change of its creativity as it is notably practiced  and experienced in India hence we are planning to adopt the template for beneficial development .
 Another in the pipeline is the Information Communication Technology University of Nigeria, which would by God's grace take off in September this year 2017 while Kano, Yola, Enugu, and Delta are already penciled down to be areas of location, while the acting Vice Chancellor for each University of this type pegged down to the locations is underway,to be employed , this I'm assuring you that the University would be first of its kind in Africa.
 However back to my plans for the Oyo State Local Government on three boreholes each permit me to stand on the previous explanation I gave earlier to sink three boreholes each ; in each local government with three each being sank at Saki and Iseyin while that of Oluyole and Ibadan North local government are underway this month of July with prompt plans to be consistent in bringing it manifest-able,in other local governments in Oyo State sooner than later .
 However, the effect of Poverty in our society had induced many into expecting more from the Federal Government and especially in Oyo State people expected quick transformation through us and with God my salary which is not up to a million naira if shared among my teeming supporters cannot go round not talking of the whole citizenry of the state but my prayer is that the grace of being fortunate enough to have seen the good faceof God in my appointment as one of the Minister under President Muhammed Buhari should be the major supplication and prayer by everybody to have through God's mercy rather than rely on me solely.
 Meanwhile, seven scholarship I'd given to some students for Master-Degree  and six under-graduates I'm also sponsoring while seven kidney problematic patients I have sent oversea for surgery yet I'm influencing some applicants employment into some communicationcompanies.
 In Igbo Ora I have influenced the establishment of a Police Secondary School which could had been abandoned as a white elephant project but I came in by intervention to actualize its establishment and the is actively operating till date .
 With M-power computer degree I promised to the applicants that any reliable evidence they give I shall do to work on it to actualize the success of their engagement.
 With these aforementioned array of some of my achievement I beg to apologize that if any Federal honourable does better on this than I well, I should hereby and emphatically stated thus that since I'm just on a ministerial appointment with a stipulated amount of salary I may not do better than them or surpass them any waybut given the opportunity to become the Governor of Oyo State come 2019 I shall surprise and do better to improve upon the standard of living of my people extra-ordinarily .
 My political policy is not by accident as I started politics in 1978,I alone politically was the only one that had an opportunity to have deliberated and related with Chief Obafemi Awolowo when he came toOke-Ogunto scout for any promising but politically talented child fromthe region so afterwards I went toPark-Lane to see him hence we formed Committee of Friends which metamorphosed to be UPN in 1978 I was the youngest member of the Oyo State House of Assembly .
 In 1983 when government changed to favour the indigene in Oyo State when Governor Omololu Olunloyo came into rein of governance I was chosen asa Commissioner for Internal Affair and Culture yet I was still made Commissioner under Governor /Senator Rashidi Ladoja .
 As an experienced politician I'mcertified to be knowledgeable ,pragmatic with adequate expertise ,takl of judiciary;I was once member of judicial of Oyo State for forty-years so among those that are aspiring to be Governor in Oyo State come 2019 election none of themhas this same experience I had.
 In 2011  I contested for Gubernatorial position in Oyo State under CPC but not chosen but later I was chosen as the Minister for Communication  some years after so I I had gained experience to discuss with people and influential but distinguished stalwarts within the state ,to fathom what to do to favour mypeople's betterment if I'm voted in as Governor of Of Oyo State come 2019 election yet If I retired as the Honourable Minister of Communication I'm self-fulfilled.
 By God's grace I'm ready to contest in 2019 as the Governor of Oyo State but do not want to contest for the fun of it yet with the experience I had gathered  politically for forty-years so you can't compare this with anybody's ,I'm confident that we would be there by the grace og
f God; Governor Ajimobi will raise up my hand to signify this and it is God that will do it, now is the time for work,let us see ourselves as the members of armed forces,to take charge of the Oyo State come 2019      

" THERE IS NO CRISIS IN ACCORD, EVERYBODY STILL ACCEPT OUR FATHER; SENATOR RASHEED ADEWOLU LADOJA AS OUR LEADER, WE RESPECT HIM VERY MUCH, WE CANNOT RULE THAT ONE OUT"-HONOURABLE DAUDA ADEMOLA LAWAL; A ONE-TIME OYO STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND PRESENTLY STATE CHAIRMAN OF ACCORD PARTY.

  Can we know you better sir?

  My names are Honourable Dauda Ademola Lawal at the same time State  Chairman of factional Accord party in Oyo State when I say factional Accord party, you know by the time we conducted our congress, we conducted our own at Olubadan Stadium while other faction led by Wahab Oyelade conducted their own at Green Spring hotel though, we supposed to do everything together but when they saw they cannot match us so they made a U-turn and quickly did their own at Green Spring hotel so, immediately we conducted that congress we sent our list to Abuja, which was accepted by the national headquarter of the Accord party.
Accord Party is a registered political party like any other party registered by Independent National Electoral Commission; INEC so, in view of this there is no any dispute within Accord Party, it is only that there are some disgruntled elements in Accord Party, they are the ones that caused this problem within the Accord Party because they are self-centered, there is no crisis in Accord Party, everybody still accept our father; Senator/Chief Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja as our leader and we respect him very much , we cannot rule that one out, if he had adopted the style of Late Chief Adedibu, things could have been settled long time ago, if the day we conducted our congress though they convinced him to come down to their congress at Green Spring hotel and Chief Ladoja used about fifteen minutes so also  we are expecting him at Olubadan Stadium, if he just drove down to us that day, you know all of us we drove down to Ondo Street and he commanded other people there and we sit on a round-table and he said let us share these posts; there wouldn't have been hullabaloo but there is no such thing done and as you are seeing now we wanted to hold our meeting last two weeks on the 29th, it is because of him we announced this thing on radio, that we wanted to hold our meeting there, you see, there is no cause for alarm, there is nothing disturbing him coming down to us that day we can't say he is not our leader , we would all welcome him that day maybe the one we held at Expoyo we could have treated everything together that day we will sit down, to deliberate; what is the problem, we will have the meeting from there , some of our personalities would even followed him down there, whereby he will send some of the people of the other side, he cannot do as if he wanted to support one side and leave the other side unfatheredly or not being supported, he has to be a father of all, he must be a father of all, we are not fighting him, it is just those disgruntled elements, those who caused the downfall of the party in 2011 and 2015, that is what we are arguing against, we cannot just open our eyes again and allow the same thing to happen, there is no problem as such and if at all we want to hold another meeting tomorrow he can come down there and embrace all of us, things will just be settled amicably.

  Sir, we learnt after the dissolution of the Accord Party Local Governments' Chairmen did not wanted to leave is the major cause of the imbroglio, what do you have to say to this ?

  That is just a blackmail-news, they just wanted to blackmail them, and it is not so, if they said those people wanted to go the national headquarter of the party headed by Nalado, since the inception of Accord they have never conducted a national convention of the party, at the National level, they spent more than they supposed to spend , what happens at the national level is still what is happening at the state level and the local government , if someone now come to say their term has expired, what are you going to do about those at the national level, initially there was a circular letter signed by the administrative secretary sent to all the Local government Chairmen of the party and the administrative secretary is not their boss, they are all under the state-Chairman of the Accord Party,from whose office that directive supposed to come from and to be signed by the Accord Party State Chairman only, if any circular suppose to come at all. that is the practice, now the administrative secretary signed a circular letter instructing all the Accord Party Local Government Chairmen to relinquish their posts and that they had established a caretaker committee of sole administrator, which is not recognized by the constitution of the Accord Party, this made them to write a protest letter to the national headquarter, to ask whether they are aware of the circular- letter of the dissolution of their tenure, and the national headquarter responded to it by sending and giving a letter to dispute it and refuted that they are not aware and that they had not given the instruction of such nature neither backing it up and this letter was sent to the Oyo State Accord Party Office of the State Chairman of the party, that they should reinstate or restore them back immediately and that there should not be any care-taker committee or sole administrator in the local government , this people now called them to go and implement the directive(order) from the national headquarter, and  they ; the state executive now said once they had serve the chairmen the earlier circular out ; it will be a shame on them to do as directed by the national headquarter, that is to rewrite the reinstate letter is not possible, is the administrative secretary; a paid staff of the party ,what right does he has to take that sole decision, you see all these is what Chief Rasheed Ladoja supposed to handle , by coming in, to settle it, once there was already an order from the national headquarter to reinstate these chairmen, you it is now the duty of the state party leaders to call both sides, okay! you the administrative secretary since you know there is a letter from the national headquarter to reinstate them, you know that letter from the national headquarter has superseded the initial circular letter you served these party chairmen, on dissolution so, carry out the order of the national headquarter with immediate effect but nothing of such was done and this is the bone of contention and of course, you see there is no party in this state or national level that does not have factions; if you want to cheat me aia will kick against it and we may disagree to agree, and now if that is to happen; the next thing is that we need to come to round table, that is why all the chairmen are protesting, you see we should not misinterpret what is on the ground, we have parallel congress, we are at the Olubadan Stadium and the other was at Green Spring hotel and neither they protest or go to court or challenged the congress conducted by us nor we challenged their neither we take them to court on this, it was those chairmen, the sacked chairmen that went to court to challenged the party executive, for their dissolution, to request for their mandate, not the two sides of factions of the party so, if some people are now saying they won the court case, court case between who against who ? the battle is between the chairmen and the state party executive, that the action taken by the administrative-secretary is illegal and should be declared non and void, that is their request.
  I; Dauda Lawal with my faction did not take Wahab Faction to court. For example Alimotu Sherrif versus Markafi in the PDP some factions conducted their congress at Port Harcourt while the other conducted theirs at Abuja so Alimotu Sheriff now challenged Markafi they went to court, Markafi too challenged Alimotu Sheriff, the too of them, firstly the same Markafi won it they declared him Chairman, Alimotu Sheriff went to Appeal, Appeal Court now say Alimotu Sheriff is the Chairman of PDP, boldly written at the national level of the PDP , boldly written, underline this, and Markafi now says they did not want to accept and went to the Supreme Court, to challenge it , that is what they are now on.
  It is not that all states chairmen went to court, it is the local chairmen that went to court, to seek for their mandate so, it is two things on ground; two parallel congresses, no one is challenging the other, if the chairmen then that is the court accepted their prayer then that means all the chairmen at our side will step down and the other faction's chairmen will step down so both of us wouldn't have had chairmen so the congresses held by both factions could have been declared non and void because they would have installed them.

  Now, that Chief Ladoja has won the court case.......(interrupted)?

  Won what?, you see , I said the congress we conducted at Olubadan Stadium, where I was held as the state chairman of the Accord Party nobody challenged it and so also that of Green spring hotel nobody challenged it likewise, the Chairmen ; sacked chairmen were the one that challenged that the congress conducted by Basiru Lawal at the Green Spring should be declared non and void and it is of no effect but instead of the court then to look into that aspect the court did not do that , the court only dismissed their case and they did not say you Basiru Lawal you go ahead with or step down from, so there is no clear picture, you can go and read that judgement and the ruling of the court, you will see there is a lacuna (gap) somewhere.

  Now that election is getting close come 2019; what are you doing lately to make sure this imbroglio does not cause problem for your party Accord?

  Okay! thank you very much, it will not affect the election, if will could manage it properly, one; there are rooms for reconciliation and since we still have some time maybe, today, tomorrow, we can still reconcile together despite the fact we have two factions within the Accord Party , people from other parties have been coming to either , to brainstorm with either, they have been discussing with us , what is the modalities , everybody we are consulting , likewise at our leader's side too; some PDP and other parties' people have been going to him, to discuss , deliberate with him on the way forward for 2019, we too do not want to damage the party so, when we now see this, we thought we can have working relationship within each others, choose together some of them even thought they had done so much for the party so they are skeptical to leave Accord Party and don't forget when we say 'Rescue';It is to save something from collapse aside the fact that if you see my certificate you cannot see Rescue but Accord Party State Chairman, I have that certificate with me, so we are just factions within the party, APC too is factional as it has Lamist, AD, faction of the serving Minister, Ajimobi has his own faction called Seneco and others like that and nobody disturb one another , they are just trying make contact and mobilize people but at the time for their congress "water will finds its level.

  But wouldn't there be a clash later?

  That is lovely, you see what is going on now there are some people at the Supreme Court now ;Tribune of the 4th July 2017 published that there are some serving Ministers from Obasanjo Yar Adua to Goodluck regimes, they have merged together, they wanted to fathom the way forward, should they still remain in the PDP or what should be the option, you see there are five new political parties being registered lately; PPA, APDA, Young Progressive Party, New Generation Party, you see within these five parties there are still political undertone, you see as we say okay we come to our leader and he come to us, you see at the end of the day everybody may now be going towards the same trailer, say okay, this is where we are going, it may not be PDP, it may not be this or that but we may say in one voice let us go to this party, just to conquer the victory of the election overwhelmingly.

  What is your message to the electorates?

  The electorates should not have cause to fear or cause for alarm neither they should complain because during election before they go to the polling booth they must have known whom to vote for  and now they have known the right from wrong and come 2019 election they are the ones to decide.

 Good evening who are we having chat with ?

 My names are Prince Apostle Ajamu Sunday aka Ajamu 01, the CoinMaster.

 We are at the Premier Hotel Banquet Hall Ibadan, what are we doing here?

Celebrating the workers' day  May 1st, 2017, so we are using this medium to let people in Oyo State know we have to stop complaining about recession, all what we need is information and it is part of me and I believe in one ideology and the ideology is that information is wealth , once you're informed you're close to become wealthier, Dangote of this world get informed about what to do, to turn ten naira to hundred , hundred to thousand, thousand to million naira and million to billion and that is the kind of the world we are trying to create, by marketing the Billion Coin, many may not know that with just twenty thousand naira purchase of Billion Coin worth of digital currency they can become Billionaire within three years, so like from the projection of the Billion Coin site I discovered that with your fifty dollars investment which is at the rate of four hundred per one dollar which makes twenty thousand naira you can actually have nothing less than four point five million within six months twenty days totally two hundred days, so with this privilege I got this information and I have to let people know, I created awareness in the city of Ibadan, what we created is what people are enjoying now, we started December 26th, 2016 and today now make 1st anniversary in 2017 we are celebrating and we are doing first year anniversary extra, we did one about three moths ago but because it fell within Easter period so we have to give listening ears to those needed to get information about this so once you are in you are in so all what they need to become successful in the Billion Coin Business is what we are unravel-ling in today's programme.

 What are the feedback from those who started with you promptly at the initial stage ?

 Well, our expectation is that by next year the Billion Coin started exactly twenty first March, 2016 and this year twenty first March 2017 makes it one year and we are doing a promo that everybody whether a member or not once you can enroll  there is a gift of hundred thousand cringes free of charge and the promo will ends by June 30th, so my expectation for next year is that we would have produced more Billionaire in the community of the Billion Coin then the feedbacks from our team had been so splendid because like I'm a living testimony I borrowed One thousand to start that was October 2016 around twenty second but today I worth more than forty eight billion naira , so it is my duty to make sure no matter what I should try to promote that community and the more I promote the community the more I also promote myself in term of wealth, so it is like an opportunity I don't dream of, it is opportunity of the century, that can turn anybody rich overnight, I have seen people that don't have money they walked in and I give them the opportunity of one million cinges but today now they can feed themselves conveniently, so one has to start small then grow big, I also started small then grew big , the honour is not to me but to God be the glory.

 Could you expatiate on the hundred thousand bonus ?

 Hundred thousand cringes bonus is like a gift from the Billion Coin Admin to the downtrodden because many may not be able to afford but they have no excuse, if you cannot afford product TBC and they give us ninety days to be able to come in quickly, key in to it then with time when you begin to see the appreciation value, like nine hundred thousand cringes by December 25th this year 2017 is going to worth ten dollars  multiply by one hundred cringes that would be one million dollar then what would stop the whole world from becoming wealthy, there is nothing but greed.

 The Billion Coin Business; does it has government backings ?

 The Billion Coin is like internet if people ask me I say it is crito-currency, it is a new world of doing  business, it is people coming together agreeing among themselves that they want to be doing trading and they agreed of using Billion Coin so in the olden days we have money in form of cowries, inform of trade by barters, you have yams; I have pepper, they can exchange , so we agreed it should be a medium of exchange so this time around the billion Coin software programme language is being written in such a way that they are looking for One billion people presently as I'm talking to you we are just closing to two hundred thousand people , we still have One million , ten million, hundred million to nine hundred and ninety nine million before we can reach one billion so, whosoever is having the opportunity to come in now they are still going to become multimillionaire with time so, information is power, wealth once you are unable to get it life become difficult .

 Is this Billion Coin not like that of M.M.M. ?

 M.M.M. when it started  I knew it i s not going to last because there was no product they were promoting, but in term of the Billion Coin whether you have people to buy it would be appreciating so if you have people you sell small small, we don't even advise members to sell everything they have in their wallet, we encourage them to partner with those who have more than ten TBC gradually they would accumulating their own coin also, the idea is  let us have a lot of Billionaire.

 With this arithmetic knowledge how have you been able to impart this technical know-how to both your literate and illiterate members ?

 I put it triple T- Train the Trainers, what we are doing today is just to have leaders . I have imparted to them what I have in my brain so that they can go ahead and talk tp people about this great opportunity of the universe.

 The Coin you are talking about how does it looks ?

 It is digital currency like money, you also call it internet money.

 With how much can anybody starts ?

 It depends on you, the more you invest the more you have money, if you have one thousand come in within seven months you are worth nothing less than two hundred and fifty six thousand, if you have one million come within seven months you are multibillioaire.

  

NEWS: OYO STATE MOTOR DEALERS ASSOCIATION IBADAN CHAPTER; OKE-ADO CHAIRMAN; ALHAJI ADIGUN LAUDS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

The Chairman Oyo State Motor Dealers Association Ibadan Chapter; Oke Ado Alhaji Adigun has lauded the Federal Government for her initiative in making dollars available for both home and international marketers and traders, this he commended as a creative way of making dollars available adequately,for the benefit of those on both international and indigenous transactions but, he appealed to the federal government to make the commercial banks as a majorly direct link, where the dollars will be purchasable for these indigenous and international traders,  than selling in bulks to the bureau de change who will just buy in bulk and sell it to their customers at their fixed price, since everybody is doing business to make profit hence, no one can blame them.
 Meanwhile, he described the fluctuation and unstable position of the dollars to naira as dishearteningly pathetic and  is even adding to loss, for those who are buying dollars to do business, this he advised that if there could be a fixed price, at which naira would be to dollar, then those who need to buy the dollar must have known the amount to take along with them, to buy dollars from the commercial banks.
 Here he suggested to the federal government that it could have been much easier, beneficial and advantageous for both the government and those who buy dollars for business, if the commercial banks can be selling dollars at a fixed price, to those who need it and see whether naira will not appreciate quickly, than for them to be scrambling outside to look for the dollars.
 However, he defended that if these commercial banks can be the major channel from which the buyers of the dollars would be going, to buy dollars for their businesses then, it would quickly enable the naira to increase in value, since that it is the intention of the federal government at the first instance, of making the dollars available more than before.

CIVIL-EYE: MIMICKING THE MENTALITY; MARRING THE MARRIAGE.

" Do two walk together without having agreed" says a rhetoric question from holy-book( Amos 3:3 ) .
 And this is my subject matter and the premise by which I'm developing my points, facts, data, information, instances and suggestions on this above-mentioned self- coined topic- sentence.
 It is prevalent nowadays seeing fun fare,glamour,pageantry,ostentatious-array of affluence,drinks,foods and whatever accompanying the event or occasion of nuptial knot tying of couples, spouses and lovers at churches,mosques and registry, while parents ,friends and relations of both lovers feeling happy to see the beautiful day of the marr-i-age or wed-ing as marr-i-age could be said to be susceptible of damage so it is put in a state of holy solemnization believing  God put hand in the relationship, to see it cemented yet wed-ing is somehow something that is connotatively wedded (wedged) or put together by artificial attachment that could break away, from each other if care is not taken by the handlers of the wedded object because the joint where the attachment was made could be said to be delicate, no matter how one could believe it had been solidified therefore,care and love for the object and prayer to God constantly to see it together attached is the only sin-qua-non to make it last.
 And to buttress up point on this don't forget the couple,spouses or lovers came from different families and checking on their backgrounds both have different upbringing of what life is all about and educational background.
 So, taking this incipient premise into consideration marriage is sacrosanct which should be handled with utmost probity, propriety  and lovers ought to allow true-love and not pretext, as it is expected and believe to be the 'license'; starting the courtship before the real marr-i-age yet, should be circumspectly handled and sanguinely managed.
 But, what are we seeing nowadays? It is the opposite of what it is expected, while one or the witnesses to the beautiful occasion believing and expecting to be hearing good news of happy-life what one hears is quarrel , instances of unhealthy rivalry between those expected  to be lovers and these could lead to separation or divorce.
 Hence, I kept on wondering what could have been the cause and by my deep thought and insight from God I arrived at getting to see the causes as majorly lack of prayer constantly together, as a holy-book has enjoined us to "be watchful of the Satan,Lucifer, devil that is restlessly prowling to see whom he will devour", secondly, lack of true-love to endure and be tolerant provided both could flash back to the fact that they came from different families, ditto the denotation of the word- analyzed earlier about; the tag of the kind of life they are living (marr-i-age) or married life, as the game is said to be " for better; for worse" and the holy-book even described them"  'shameless lovers'; who were naked before each-other and were still proud of it"; ( Gen 2: 25) and thus, it was divinely arranged and call God's institution.
Then, to say the fact the rivalry that often started between both lovers often come from their parents and this I stand to be corrected by any impudent parent; that is not ready to admit the fact because each parent is surreptitiously star-gazing on whose hands is upper between the lovers and if care is not taken the mother or father of either spouse could go extra mile to be spiritual and don't forget, the reason why Eve and Adam had survived  is because they have no parent and this is a caution and advice to the parents, to be very loving for both and know they have their lives to live together, without time for retirement so, it is only prayer they can have to give to support them with and lastly the issue of 'colonial mentality';how the white do their own is another crazy idea, that could be imbibed by wife ( women-liberation) or hubby ( male- chauvinism).
On this note advise both parents and the couple to lets there be mutual respect because respect is reciprocal regardless, of what our culture says.    

" UNTIL NIGERIANS SET ASIDE A DAY TO WORSHIP GOD THE ALMIGHTY, THAT IS WHEN ALL OUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED AND SOLUTION WOULD COME AS THUNDER-LIGHT, TO FREE US ALL"- PASTOR JOSEPH AKIN AKINADE OF C.A.C. LION OFJUDAH, DIZENGOFF AREA, IBADAN.

If the problems of our nation; Nigeria must be solved and brought to an end then "all hands must be on deck" because some have eyes but they cannot see, some have ears but they cannot hear and yet some have mouth but they cannot shout out the problems they have until the problems killed them and such is the paralysis that killed some when they have ailment or disease of a kind but instead of shouting it out maybe they can find someone that has the cure to it hence we on the editorial of this News-track- Online  do not want that of ours in the search and course for the solution to our nation's problem so we went out to make sure we are "not leaving any stone un-turned ", to do our best in unraveling the riddle behind the problem of the nation; Nigeria and thus went as far as meeting a man of God, pastor of repute in person of Pastor Joseph Akin Akinade of "Lion of -Judea, Dizengoff Area, Iyana Church, Ibadan who we had an exclusive interview with as unwind-ed below:

What are the qualities you believe a man of God should possess if he want to represent God well and the mankind?

Een! firstly one of our hymnbooks says "Mo fe ki n da bii Jesu, ninu iwapele, ko seni to gboro ibinu lenu re leekan ri" the first thing you have to humble yourself , bible says " Olorun juba onirele, o n wo agberaga loke reere", It is one of those things perhaps you want to be a leader in gospel or pastor, secondly you have to know whom you are serving who is Jesus Christ; Our Lord, I don't say you can have all but must strive to be as perfect as expected.

What can you say about power of prayer? 

Well! I always wonder when people say they had been on the mountain for long without having being answered, what are you doing at the mountain for almost three months, before you can pray to God , he needs something from you which is praise-worship. If you want answer to your prayer you must praise him first, if you want to receive from God you must praise him, a Yoruba adage says "Abiamo ko ni gbo ekun omo re , ko ma tati were", Nkan kan wa taa lee se fun olorun, ko to le da wa lohun, nkan naa ni orin-iyin, orin-iyin je ohun pataki ti olorun fe. Psalm 150 the last verse 6 says " Let everything that has breath praise the Lord"When you are praising God you alert him to know someone is somewhere that is mentioning his name and asking for a request and thus ask him what are really is request and what is he asking for, when you are praising that is when he knows you are alive. You have to worship him, you have to praise him that is when he will hearken to your call. Before you can ask anything from God you have to praise him. To cite an analogy " There was a praise-singer praising a rich man and after the rich man had given almost what are on him and the praise singer still continued he felt highly moved and went inside to bring gun that whether when he killed him, he will stop " all this tells you the power behind praise, if an ordinary man can be moved in such a way, how much more God that loves only praise-worship. It is  when one don't know the importance of praise in prayer one neglect praise and without it we pray amiss. When you praise God then use thirty minutes to ask for what you need  and he will manifest himself and you will see that he answers prayer.

Sir! you are the pastor for this age-long church left behind by Late Pa/ Pastor Akinade and it has been successfully managed by you, how have you been finding the shoe left behind by him?  

Hun un! it is not an easy job, you know people that go to church believe in the anointing of the founder of the church, if you don't believe in the anointing of the founder you don't go to the church. The first thing before Papa died he usually do something and that was not preaching himself but gospel and being a prophet he always gives revelation. And when members of the church don't hear him give revelation and prophesy they feel dejected and may not like it but because Papa preached gospel then that is what we have been enjoying by preaching the gospel. And don't forget I'm a musician and before Papa died we have something in common when you are talking about praise I'm a musician, an instrumentalist, I play keyboard, sax, drums , I compose and arrange music, even when Papa was alive I assisted him on this so when we talk about praising God I know it and my wife knows much about praising God , to worship God, I know much about the words of God and with the radio-programme I present often people had known that I can handle  things well regarding the present position God put me as a pastor so in a nutshell I can say I started where baba left it.

Sir! what can you say about redeeming the youth back into Christendom considering many of them going into music of life and yahoo enmasse, what are you doing lately to attract them back to the Christendom? 

The problem we have is that you are talking about , what about the many youth flocking into pastoral , are they really working for God ? There are three calls one, I may call you to serve God through pastoral because you are doing well in church two, you may call yourself because your work is not going well the third are those God call; these ones are divinely called, just start with God and end with him, you are talking about yahoo; but some pastors are the ones praying for them, some pastors pray for the robbers, some pastors are no more saying the truth again at church's services because they don't want to incur the wrath of these  so called money-missed roads, yahoo guys . Some pastors are already under spell of satanic influence, some pastors don't want to preach gospel again because they need money . They know when they preach and you are offended as a rich-man you will leave the church , forgetting that just like wall-clock which when the battery packed off that's the end and such is the lives of ours. And we talked about these pastors what about the parents of these yahoo-guys, a pastor is to preach for few hours but what about the parents of these yahoo boys who during their school days they have nothing from parents to foot the bill of their study or course and when they passed out or dropped out of schools they would eventually end up in yahoo so the problem lies with the parents. Now no church want to listen to poor again but the rich people; the moment some pastors realize you are not there in their  to give money they will be indifferent to your presence but what they are doing is for short time.

Is your profession or position as Pastor, go-speller, and composer with your wife too a go-speller not affecting the home? 

Let me start this way before I met my wife it was gospel song I was engaged into, I have my band, some people now popular in gospel music I was the one that introduced them into it. During baba Akinade's life I was there assisting him in musical line before he was called as a full time pastor, it was music I was into before I met my wife who was talented in gospel song but there was no financial backings for her but we arrived at a conclusion not for two of us on the same line singing gospel song hence I dropped off the music line for her to continue while she will be singing and I will be composing and arrange it for her. All the children of my mother had been destined to be in the vineyard, that is, working for God. I'm the last born and had known my callings before birth as it was for Late Pastor Akinade, my sisters are in gospel line, we are children of covenant. I didn't want to do God's work before the death of my brother ; Late Pa/Pastor Akinade I had been troubled to start God's work I had been ordained since  2008 but never put on collar, then I even told them gospel-music I'm into is also God's work but our mother had explained to us all, and she had known where we are arriving at eventually. Now back to your question because I have to explain better to you what you don't know, you know I have been used to music line, my wife also is a gospel-musician, any show she goes I'm the one contracting it and anywhere she plans to go I'm the one arranging it, nobody has right to bargain with my wife on the balance of whatever outing she goes. I'm the one in charge of her several outings, I think it is the grace of God. My wife is such a humble woman, she can kneel down for a baby of yesterday , you know whatever you may be is just by the grace of God, some people have more talents than you; only the grace was not there for them. So whenever my wife and her band members go out for engagement ; I also often time have engagement but luckily we have some close-relatives that are there for us at home taking charge or guidance over our household. There is no problem , she trust me and I trust her, we don't have any marital problem , that wives of musicians often have because where you put my wife is where she will be.

Nigeria is the most religious nation of the world and with regard to the present situation economically what can we say of the importance or power of prayer? 

If God had not been merciful to us it could have been worse, since 1977 was when we had wronged God because of the display of the several idols at the Festival , God don't like this and since Festac 1977 we have had our problems with God, it is prayer that had save us thus far. After God there is no other God, there is only one God, whoever is saying otherwise is lying to you. Until Nigerians set aside a day to worship God the almighty, that is when all our problems would be solved and solution to them would come like thunder-light, to free us all. Don't you know the numbers of lives being was because of some scheming for political posts and shedding blood is grievous before God and their blood is the blockade to some of our prayers from reaching God. I told somebody sometime ago and he was renouncing my stand on the greatness and glorious status of Jesus Christ, why should that be even the Muslim have their normal ways of corroborating the greatness of Muhammad in exalting his name yet some traditionalists also believe so much in their deities and idols like the Ifa people when they tried all their best to fathom the problem of somebody or a certain aspect of their puzzle and getting know it is to no avail using their method or traditional but arithmetic analysis and when they did that also to no avail and in the eventual got to an aspect called 'ela' they concluded there is no other way out for the patient. And that 'ela' is what they don't know as the 'word'; hence it is called " ela-loro", the 'word' is the salvation as Yoruba depicted it ' ela-loro". And the bible too says " from the beginning there is word and the word was with God and the word is God". So this Jesus Christ is the 'word', he's what they don't want us to know. Look at American during the swearing of 'Trump'; it was the bible they read throughout, when has the leaders of this great nation; Nigeria called the citizenry together to collectively praise God in their various denominations? I'm not preaching religion, whenever anybody is preaching I always got ruffled whenever I hear pastors inviting people on-air to their churches saying " come to our church tomorrow and receive salvation", who told them or give them assurance that they will be alive tomorrow?. If there is a church near your church go there , just don't leave Jesus Christ. The only solution we have is for the leaders to convene the citizenry of this great nation to come together a day regardless of their denominations to exalt God and praise him, it is such a way people of the old practiced with their leaders in the bible convening their people to appease and appeal to God for forgiveness. And God will hearken to their prayer and supplication for forgiveness. When has the leaders of this nation done that to praise God and ask God what we want. Some people don't want to die hence they kill other people to renew their lives, it is a lie, they are adding to their sins, sorrow and punishment from God. If we cooperate; this nation would be better but some Christians don't want to go into politics because no way you can do politics without using charms, but if the Christians are sitting 'on fence', thinking without charms no one can do politics don't you think some good ones may not be found to be in politics helping to move the nation forward? You see If I will not lie to you politics is in bible, see the issue of Jonah that was reluctant to carry errand for God and inside the ship then a lot was cast to know who is the jinx and that is politics, the way we interpret politics is different. If the Christians fail to come into into politics then that means whoever come into the rein of government we should accept. If not the much prayer we have been praying in this country; this nation could have collapsed. Look at the Niger Delta - the MASOP and Co, they are aggrieved and agitating for their freedom to secede and what they are doing has put our leaders on guard and careful , we can't be silent and expect things to change for better . People who had studied political-science should be involved in politics pragmatically and also those who are willing to come naturally into politics, they should go there to serve the people and the nation, those who are selfish are the ones burying money, what for?! These set of people lied to the citizenry before attaining the political positions but when they got there they change for worse, if the money being kept is in the bank, dollars wouldn't have appreciated more than naira. And even the bible say you the foolish , today we shall ask for your life.    

" POLITICS IS A STRATEGIC MEANS BY WHICH ONE CAN MANOEUVRE ITS WAY INTO THE REIN OF GOVERNANCE YET THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY EVERYBODY SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED"- HON TAOFEEK GBOLAGADE ADEBOWALE.

Politics is life; life is politics, now that election is far reaching the year; 2019 though may look distant to come yet, some of the aspirants for different political offices in different parties being registered are warming up, in the preparation for campaign and other intricacies to lead to enlightening their supporters who are the electorates, these aspirants are getting to see the reason why it is necessary to act fast in disabusing the minds of these electorates who are already disappointed by what is happening in the country politically especially with the hardship being created by the recession, this we see to be sampling the opinions of these aspirants on what strategies to apply in making sure the electorates don't fall into the same 'mess' they find themselves hence we came across one of the aspirants under ACCORD PARTY who we had chat with as reported below.
 Sir! can we know you better? 

I'm honourable Taofeek Gbolagade Adebowale aka 'Eegun' Ladoja.

Which party are you?

I'm in ACCORD PARTY.

Could you define politics in its entirety?

Politics is a strategic means by which one can manouvre its way into the rein of governance yet there is no reason why everybody should not be involved.

Looking into Nigeria's politics what do you expected to be added to it and what do you think has gone amiss? 

Hmmn, I'm happy that the person I'm under his tutelage is a very active person and honest person, he is Chief Rasheed Ladoja who always tutor us on upholding truth without truth Chief Rasheed Ladoja would not be involved in any issue evading truth, he is always promoting truth. And this is what eludes this present government to have been groping in the dark for way forward. I remember when he was in PDP he did not allowed dishonesty and deceit hence when he left the party the party eventually collapsed. And this is the reason why what kept him highest esteem of the commoners in the state.

Alright! we learnt you are warming up to be involved politically in representing your people......(cuts in)?

Een! infact the preparation is not just now because we supposed to have conducted the election to which I have been preparing for while our party was then fully ready to participate but our Governor Ajimobi postponed the election yet we now see to it that "a ram that receded on its step has done so tp enhance its power". This is still empowering us more to be fully prepared for any eventuality politically than before.

Which position are you aspiring for?

I'm preparing and aspiring for the post of Chairmanship at Akinyele South under ACCORD PARTY.

With you emerging successfully at the end what will be your priority to ease or alleviate your people's suffering?

By the grace of God I thank God that I have antecedent as a Councillor under Ibadan North Local Government where I did well and this has convinced me and my people to know that in the coming election  if I won I shall do more to develop and build on my record.

What is your advice to the electorates?

My advice to them is that any position someone may be he should do better, because doing well is the most important, one cannot do good to reap evil and one cannot do evil to reap goodness. One should do well whatever position he may finds himself, it is the good we have done that has made people not to forget us, that goodness Ladoja is doing is what has endeared him to the minds of his teeming supporters.

What can you say about the political future of Nigeria, what are the steps that should be taken ?

The steps to take is to go back to the issue of yesterday which delved on 'truth', it is when politics is around the corner some people start talking about EFCC to disturb Senator Rasheed Ladoja and all the time they had been troubling him what has been their fact-findings , and I remember the olden days when he was in office as Governor he never collected his salary directly but instructed them to pay his salaries into his bank account while he pledged and vowed that if any of the government money mixed with his money dubiously, the authority should seize his property. It is this truth Senator Rasheed Ladoja lives for as his philosophy of life.
