" 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.

On May 1st 2017 Inside Banquet Hall at Premier Hotel in Ibadan was a memorable day for the teeming crowd, the subscriber and prospective subscribers for 'BITCOIN which is just like money, it is used online to do business, it is safe, and a trustworthy as corroborated by the 'Coin Master'; himself.
 The convener of the workshop Prince Apostle Ajamu Sunday Adedayo aka Ajamu 01; the Coin-master highlighted the fact and reason behind the workshop as a way of getting people more informed, educated on the importance, value and benefit behind the introduction of Bitcoin, for the Online Business, which has been creating much avenues and means, for many globally, in becoming greatly rich, influential, productive and source of inspiration and emulation , to others coming into the business internationally. He affirmed that Bitcoin Online Business was introduced to the country; Nigeria market early 2016 while since then the subscribers have been registering in great numbers and now thanking God, for being part of it.
 Here he stressed thus that the request from other great numbers of the prospective subscribers was the reason why he has been organizing special programmes, for the various categories of people.
 Meanwhile to enhance on the significance of the chat we had with him we thought it wise to unwind on our discussion with him as reported below

 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.
