50TH ANNIVERSARY: ORIWU CLUB IKORODU HOLDS PUBLIC LECTURE, ECHOES EXPANSION IN THE GROWING NIGERIAN ECONOMY ®™√ INN Nigeria © ro939j4122974544298921917 Oriwu Club Ikorodu held its public Lecture to mark its 50th anniversary on the 14th of September 2023 at the clubhouse along Sagamu Road in Ikorodu. The auspicious gathering was graced by HRM, Oba Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo and HRM, Oba Aremu Shotonwa, Sekumade of Ipakodo, and spearheaded by Led by Prince Amid Adekunle Oduborisha, the club's president. Tagged; 'Knowledge, Power And The Growing Specter Of Spectrum In Nigeria', the event brought Professor Lai Olurode, a retired professor of sociology at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) as its guest speaker. In his lecture, Prof. Lai applauds Oriwu Club for its numerous accomplishments, depicting the club as a medium to measure the overall growth of the 3rd largest city in southwest Nigeria. He remarked that the growth of the Ikorodu division is a living fulfilment of the club's mandate. Substantiating that the club's leadership must always cultivate friendship with the general populace, he explained that the actions of its leaders should be based on the accretion of proficiency. Professor Lai Olurode also spoke out that power can only be exerted when the title is given, while Knowledge without exercise can't produce results. "But strength and understanding work jointly for refinement," he said. Urging the club to reflect the needs of its people, Prof. Olurode said the club must be sensitive before starting the scheme in order not to project WANT instead of the NEED of the people. "If there is no meeting point between Knowledge and Power, developmental actions will fail," said Professor Lai. He continued, "Nigerians don't believe in their government because most Nigerians are tired," "That's why leadership actions must reflect the mindset of the people at all times". Furthermore, he encouraged Oriwu Club Ikorodu to be a medium to explain government policy to ordinary people, thereby restoring hope to the common man. In closing, he appealed to Oriwu Club to encourage youth to join the club so the younger ones can have the mindset of promoting society which is the core objective of the club. Chief Tosin Akinyemi, the representative of the Indigenous Association of Lagos State, commended Prof. Lai Olurode for his lecture and also proposed the idea of having 'Oriwu Club Diaspora', to bring the youth into the community orientation the club provides. He explained that even the youth who are not in the country can add value to the community if they are very much involved with the club's activities from abroad. HRM, Oba Semiudeen Orimadegun Kasali, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo, also applauded Professor Lai Olurode for reaching the club through his impactful lecture. He further pleaded with Oriwu Club Ikorodu to do more on the suggestion that has been made by the guest speakers and contributors.

HELL IS REAL & HEAVEN IS REALER, YOU CAN’T MAKE HEAVEN ON YOUR TERMS ~ BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO fb img 16864765278317615542579650268109 Speaking on the present-day revival of the church, The President of Living Faith Church worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo explained that No man will go to heaven based on his terms, adding that it takes God to make heaven. In his sermon on Sunday 11th of June 2023, the foremost clergyman explained that only a humble spirit is positioned to experience a renewal in the ongoing revival of the church. Advising his congregation to beware of pride, Bishop Oyedepo urged everyone to comprehend that the truth is bitter but it's meant to make life better, just as a medicine is bitter but restores health to a sick individual. He cautioned the church against the practice of gay and lesbianism. "Evil communication corrupts good manners, be careful where you send your children in these times, so they don't return one day to introduce same-sex to you for marriage purpose". "I've been in this walk with God for 54yrs and the fear of God as a lifestyle is the mystery behind the success of this commission" he asserted. Stating that working on oneself is the first step to growth before walking to advance the kingdom of God, he added that self-discovery in building faith sets up a standard for believers. Accentuating the proofs of a revival, he illustrates that genuine repentance is a factor to peg in identifying true revival "Every evil act begins with an evil thought, if you must prevent the act, then rebuke the thought Mark 7:21". "A redeemed believer gets peace from heaven that remains steadfast even in the period of worldly storms Galatians 5:22". Furthermore, Bishop Oyedepo said when one takes advancing the kingdom of God as a way of life, it's another indicator of a revival. The service was tagged a covenant day of All Round Rest.

NBA IKORODU TO PROVIDE POLICY THRUST AT LAW WEEK ®™√ INN Nigeria © storage emulated 0 pictures comica cartoon16860617990001230895673216405156 Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ikorodu Branch, Idris Thany says it is high time lawyers took up the challenge to guide the political leadership and politicians in Nigeria. He disclosed this on Friday while briefing journalists on activities lined up for the 2023 Law Week of the association which commenced with a jumat service at Omitoro Town Central Mosque, Ijede Road, Ikorodu. According to him, Lawyers should also contribute to charting a course of direction for the new administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by providing it with working materials on what the people of Nigeria expect from him. He said this prompted the theme of this year’s conference of the Bar, “2023 and Beyond the Imperative of True Federalism in Nigeria” and the lecture topic, “The 1999 Constitution, Restructuring and True Federalism: The Way Forward”. Mr Thany said they were aware that before the election, there were hues and cries about the lopsidedness in appointments, and alleged nepotism among other issues in the country. “I believe that after the lecture which centres on the 1999 constitution, restructuring, true federalism and the way forward, the federal government would have been better informed. It will serve as a raw material for the policy thrust of the federal government. “We want to contribute our little quota by the theme and lecture, to the development of Nigeria such that future generations would be proud to call Nigeria their own.” Dignitaries are billed to attend and speak at the “16th annual lecture of Chief Babatunde Olusola Benson (SAN)” held on Tuesday, June 6, which falls during Law Week. The chairman of the lecture is a former Deputy Governor of Oyo state, Iyiola Oladokun (SAN) while a former chairman of NBA Abuja and a Presidential candidate in the 2018 election of the national NBA, Mazi Afam Osigwe (SAN) is the guest speaker. The discussants will include Chairman, Oyo State, INEC and chairman, Egbe Amofin, Isiaka Abiodun Olagunju (SAN); a former NBA Lagos Branch chairman, Dr Ajibade Babatunde (SAN), Chukwuka Ikuwuazom (SAN) and Olusegun Fabunmi (SAN).

ADEBOLA AKIN-BRIGHT: LAGOS ASSEMBLY REVEALS MORE ABOUT DOCTOR WHO PERFORMED SURGERY, WRITES POLICE COMMISSIONER, COMMITTEE BROADENS INVESTIGATION ®™√ INN Nigeria © img 20230922 wa00194052512174661337085 The chairman of the Lagos Assembly ad-hoc committee with the mandate to investigate the circumstances that led to the disappearance of Adebola Akin-Bright's small intestine, Hon. Noheem Adams, has told his colleagues that the doctor who performed surgery twice on the boy is not a qualified surgeon. This is as the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, during plenary on Thursday, directed the Clerk, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, to write to the State police command for the arrest of Dr. Abayomi Baiyewu of Obitoks Hospital in the Alimosho area of Lagos. Adebola died on Tuesday shortly after the House called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to further assist him seek treatment abroad. While thanking Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his effort at the period the boy was being treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Speaker Obasa directed that a letter conveying the condolence message of the House be sent to the family. Dr. Obasa further asked the committee to look into other grey areas including inviting officials of the Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) which has the law-backed responsibility to monitor private hospitals operating in the State. The Speaker further asked the committee to review the extant law so as to know if it should be amended just as he said private hospitals can be made to always report their activities to the government at all times. Formally announcing Adebola's death, Hon. Adams said the boy's case was disheartening. He said when the committee visited him on Tuesday, he still spoke with the lawmakers. He, however, said during investigation, the committee learnt from Dr. Baiyewu that he is not a surgeon but only relied on his experience as a medical doctor. He also said Baiyewu, whose testimonies were recorded, told the committee that he did not carry out any medical examination on the boy before the first surgery which he did himself adding that he only relied on the report from a hospital the patient was first taken to. Noheem said after Baiyewu did the first surgery, the boy continued to complain about stomach pain and was taken back to Obitoks Hospital where Baiyewu carried out another round of surgery by himself. Following more complications, Hon. Noheem said the boy was taken to LASUTH where it was confirmed that part of his intestine was missing. The lawmaker said as a doctor, Baiyewu should have taken the excised part of the boy's body to a pathological department for test, but that "Dr. Baiyewu told the committee that the body parts were mistakenly discarded," and that the doctor had planned to do a third surgery before the boy was taken to LASUTH. After Noheem's submission, the House commiserated with the bereaved family with Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda calling for the sealing of the hospital. Another member of the committee, Hon. Lawal Aina, told his colleagues it was a pitiable sight when the committee visited Adebola at the hospital. He added that upon interrogation, it was discovered that Dr. Baiyewu proved not to have been a certified surgeon. Some of the lawmakers who spoke on the issue, suggested that a formal complaint be made against Dr. Baiyewu to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria for action while others urged stricter monitoring of medical doctors and hospitals.
