"Governor Abiola Ajimobi Is an Achiever, there is no doubt about that"-Oba Dr. Lekan Balogun
If surely "there is no where to anywhere than to start from where one is"; then it is better for anybody looking for the fact about his or her background, the history from a custodian of knowledge as an elder, in order to have the best of the fact of the history, hence talking about culture and tradition , which is essential for anybody wanting to enhance his or her understanding about and this is the reason why our Newstrack-Online thought it behooves us to stretched further, by having an exclusive interview with Oba Dr. Lekan Balogun who talked with us extensively, on what is the value of culture and history cum the benefit therein in egungun festival, which he un-winded as reported below.
Sir,what is the importance of tradition and culture considering egungun festival and where are they helping in the generational development of our society, especially that of the Yoruba?
Essentially culture is an inherited product, it is another way of saying culture now represent your past and mine, and it is a worthwhile way of displaying the aspect our living in togetherness, to remember our forefathers and their values as inherited from generation to another, while it is better to present them, at least people without the knowledge of their history are like a tree without a root" even if masquerade is only a means of entertaining; it worth preserving, if it is a means of reflecting our old culture and history's effect, it worth preserving, which is why we are preserving masquerade.
With what we have seen as development and some probable changes in the areas of security, road-network, education under the present administration of Governor Ajimobi, sir with due reservation we thus ask you is Governor Ajimobi an achiever?
He is a great achiever, no doubt about it, he may be temperament , but in terms of concrete reality of achievement he is a real achiever, look at the roads-network, education, health, it is the most unusual things that happened in this area, the life that constitute likes of the society, life of the product of the society; that is you and I, he has done very, very well, he may be temperamental, he may be impatient with people, who are not performance, not very intelligent, but he is a great achiever.
This is on the present killing in Nigeria here and there and as a father, king and a man of much experience, we like you to tell us what is the solution you could proffer, to make sure the killing is brought to an end?
The government should be upright , dealing with the problem, if a government cannot preserve the lives of the people it governs; why is it government and why are they governing the people, the herdsmen are killing the people everywhere, like they kill fowls, it is not right, it is unacceptable, whatever the basis may be, and the basic reason was said to be religion, in this day and age , why should anybody kill anybody , because of religion, in some cases a father may be Muslim and the children are Christians, some other children may be Muslim too in the same family, will they kill themselves, why will you leave your own territory and go other-side to start killing those who are not in the same religion, bible and quran described murder as sin, who do they thought they are fooling, the government should be prompt and deal with the problem, applying the law of the land, for everybody to sit up, but if the government is folding hands and watching ; then you are encouraging and that means you are not governing in that area and that means you have no legitimate right to govern in that area.
What is your comment on the Governor Ajimobi performance this second term he has been in the office?
I said it before, he's been wonderful, I hate commenting on his performance, because some people believe we are close, but you know I don't respect that kind of factor; closeness to anybody , at-least if I don't say it to him in the open I say it to him privately, but I have never had the cause to criticize him bitterly, some things he does I don't belittle him until he accept, I talk to him privately and he check his policy to change it, so how can I fault a man like that, if one makes the mistake of pursuing a wrong cause and I say aburo why must you do this one, two, three reasons; before you know it, he can drop it, what can you then say about a man like that, he is doing well and I'm happy with it, I don't even know who can succeed him , at that level of his performance, honestly I don't, at the level of his performance, and it is usual of people in power not to listen to correction but in his case, it is not unusual for him to listen to correction and change and in terms of public-personality conduct you can't beat him, true !
BY AND LARGE THIS WAS HOW WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION OF OUR INTERVIEW WITH THE OBA DR. LEKAN BALOGUN, WHO THROUGH THIS INTERVIEW ENRICHED US BETTER, TO KNOW MUCH FACTS FROM WHY WE ALWAYS ALLOW THE CULTURAL ASPECT OF EGUNGUN FESTIVAL TO HAPPEN YEARLY.

" 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.

" 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".
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.
