OONI TO TINUBU: SWING INTO ACTION, ENGAGE YOUTH, FIX NIGERIA, UNITE AFRICA ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

fb img 16853843996547730348309466342752 The Arole Oodua and Ooni of Ife, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, CFR, Ojaja II has called on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to waste no time in tackling the challenges confronting the country as a man of action that he is known to be.
Ooni Ogunwusi made the call through his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Otunba Moses Olafare in a press statement on Monday, congratulating Tinubu on his inauguration as Nigeria's President And Commander in Chief Of The Armed Forces, adding that capable Nigerian youths should be engaged by his administration as the country deserves its rightful position within the committee of nations globally.
"Mr President, congratulations from The House of Oduduwa to you and your amiable wife who is now the mother of the nation as you have officially taken the mantle of leadership as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. "As we celebrate this remarkable day of your inauguration with you, we wish you monumental success in all the policies of your administration so that Nigeria can become great again and maintain her rightful position not only as truly the giant of Africa but also as a leader within the committee of nations globally.
"We trust that your administration will be marked by good governance characterized by transformational economic growth, adequate security, and progress for all Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora. "We also trust that you will leverage your wealth of experience as a man of progressive action in mobilising resources and managing diverse interests to unify Nigeria across political, ethnic and religious lines". Ooni said.
The Ooni who doubles as Co-chairman, of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) charged President Tinubu to carry the Nigeria traditional institution along, especially in tackling the security challenges in the country.
"The traditional rulers in this country are the closest to the people as there is nobody in Nigeria who is not a subject of a particular traditional ruler, this is why the government needs to empower us with more strategic constitutional roles, especially in the area of security management and conflict resolutions." Ooni said.
In working for Africa, the Ooni urged President Tinubu to partner the progressive African leaders and friends of Africa across the globe like the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio LULA da Silva, who recently hosted the Ooni and his team in Brasilia, Brazil for the unveiling Annual African Traditional Religion Day celebrations.
"As truly the giant of Africa, Nigeria must, first of all, be great for Nigerians under your watch, and Nigeria must provide progressive leadership of unity and peace for the greatness of Africa under your watch. I have interacted with some African presidents who are truly looking up to Nigeria under your watch as the big brother of Africa. This of course dominated our discussions during my meeting with President Williams Ruto at the State House in Nairobi, Kenya two months ago. "Also, the current government in Brazil under President Luiz Inácio LULA da Silva has developed numerous pro-Africa policies and programmes. I expect the presidency of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is himself a Pan-Africanist to take advantage of this for the greatness of Africa." Ooni added.
It will be recalled, Ooni Ogunwusi who is the Natural Head of the Oduduwa race worldwide had earlier 3 months ago charged Tinubu upon his declaration as president-elect to hit the ground running by quickly assembling a transition team of cerebral individuals to put up an economic blueprint capable liberating Nigerians from poverty and insecurity.

IJEDE FEMALE TRICYCLE RIDER LAMENTS ASSAULT, HUMILIATION BY NIGERIAN POLICE TEAM OVER N100 BRIBE ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

384j4j4nrnj7E23121702059112157117 The victim identified as Joy Ivie Aghama and her friend Mofoluwaso Hannah Fowokan were brutalised by the police officers for allegedly refusing to part with a bribe of N100.
Some personnel of the Nigeria Police Force attached to Area N Division at Ijede Area Council of Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, have reportedly assaulted and brutalised a female tricycle rider.
The victim identified as Joy Ivie Aghama and her friend Mofoluwaso Hannah Fowokan were brutalised by the police officers for allegedly refusing to part with a bribe of N100.
Reporters learnt that the incident took place at a place called Mahmud in the Ijede part of Ikorodu on Monday evening.
Narrating her ordeal at the hands of the policemen in a video shared by Take It Back Movement on its Twitter handle, Aghama said, "Nigerians come to my aid. Yesterday, I was at work all through from around 7 am and closed around 7 pm.
"On my way home, I picked one of my friends that said I should help her since we are living in the same compound. On our way to Ijede, we got to Mahmud, we saw some policemen at the junction and they stopped us. I stopped and they said ‘money’ and I said which money, money for what? They said, ‘Okay park, your Keke (tricycle) is going to the station.’
"I asked what's the problem, what is going on? They said ‘bring your particulars’ and I was trying to call someone from home to bring the particulars for me. Even someone was already bringing the particulars for me. I was waiting for the person. They delayed me from 7:15 pm till after 8 to 9 pm. I asked them what is my offence. What did I do? Nigerians. see me see police.
"I called someone and I gave the man (police team leader) the phone but he said he didn't care who the person was, that he had to take this Keke to the station. I said what was my offence? What did I do? I was still sitting down inside the Keke, they said I should come down around after 8 in the night.
"I called the Divisional Police Officer of Ijede Area N but the phone was switched off. I called one Inspector Richard from Ikeja also, but his line did not connect. When it connected, he said I should go to Ijede, that he was coming there. Thereafter, I couldn't reach him again before they broke my windscreen.
“I was sitting down inside the Keke, one policeman said since I couldn't bring the money, he was taking the Keke to the station. I asked again what is my offence, that since they demanded particulars of the Keke, they should wait and that I had called the people that were bringing it. The one that led them said one of them should enter and drive the Keke to the station.”
“When he entered the Keke and started it, he said I should go down and I said for what? Wait for the people that you asked me to call to bring the documents and he pulled my hair and hit it on the windscreen and dragged me out and started dragging me on the road. I was peeled, all my body was peeled and they tore my clothes," she added.
The Take It Back Movement @TIBmovement has condemned the action of the policemen who allegedly brutalised the young woman who was trying to fend herself.
The group which took to its Twitter handle to condemn the police brutality wrote: "It's been brought to our attention that @PoliceNG officers attached to Area N at Ijede assaulted and brutalized one Joy Ivie Agama, a female Keke NAPEP rider for failing to pay bribe.
"This is an innocent woman struggling to make ends meet in the already harsh Nigerian economy. We condemn this as unacceptable and demand that all officers involved be brought to book."
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Complaint Response Unit (NPF-CRU) said it had received the complaint.
The CRU wrote in response, "Your complaint is hereby acknowledged and investigation has been initiated. Your tracking number is #CRU338533. Kindly forward your contact number via DM to ease communication.
"Thank you for contacting NPF-CRU."

IKORODU TEACHERS’ LOUNGE LAUNCHED: OVER 100 TEACHERS IN LAGOS EAST GRADUATE FROM SENATOR ABIRU INNOVATION LAB ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

img 20230402 wa00105988244950709461873 Over 100 teachers in public and private schools across Lagos East Senatorial District, who enrolled for the 2022 Class of the Lagos East Teachers Fellowship (Cohort 2) at the Senator Abiru Innovation Lab (SAIL), graduated on Friday after completing their training that lasted for over three months.
Teachers, numbering over 1,500 applied for the training. 950 got enrolled for the online class for 30 days. 120 outstanding participants got admitted into physical classes, while 105 graduated. Senator Abiru Innovation Lab (SAIL), is a first-of-its-kind Community Innovation Space, set up in partnership with renowned technology and Social Enterprise company, The Co-creation Hub (Cc-HUB) to train youths in the Lagos East senatorial district on relevant digital and innovation skills and build the best entrepreneurs that can compete in the ever-dynamic global economy. Lagos East Teachers’ Fellowship, is one of the leading cutting-edge programmes at SAIL.
In his opening remarks, the SAIL Project consultant, Mr Deji Abisola, said that “The Lagos East Teachers Fellowship has provided an invaluable platform for educators to learn, grow, and develop their skills. This year's graduates have been trained in Inquiry-Based Learning, a cutting-edge pedagogical approach that encourages students to actively engage with the learning process. This dynamic method is designed to stimulate curiosity and foster critical thinking, preparing the young minds of today for the challenges of tomorrow. “In addition to Inquiry-Based Learning, our graduates (Lagos East Teachers’ Fellowship) have also been equipped with the knowledge and tools to integrate technology into their classrooms effectively. This is particularly significant, as we live in a rapidly evolving digital age where technology has become an indispensable part of our daily lives. By embracing the use of technology in education, we are opening doors to a myriad of opportunities that will enhance the learning experiences of our students and ultimately, shape the future of our society”.
Abisola also announced the launch of the Ikorodu Teachers Lounge. According to him, it is a virtual community that will further deepen knowledge sharing and interactions among teachers who passed through the SAIL. “Today, we also have the pleasure of launching Ikorodu Teachers' Lounge. This innovative space, made possible by the visionary leadership of Senator Tokunbo Abiru through his endowment pillar platform, the TACT Foundation, will serve as a hub for educators to connect, collaborate, and share best practices. The Ikorodu Teachers' Lounge is a testament to our commitment to fostering a strong community of educators who are dedicated to the continuous improvement of teaching and learning” Abisola disclosed. Graduating participants, in their valedictory speeches, eulogized the visionary leadership of Distinguished Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA, for conceptualizing SAIL, particularly the Teachers’ Fellowship programme. Adedeji Owoyade, one of the Valedictorians remarked, “I teach Government at Epe Senior Grammar School, Epe, Lagos State. I belong to Cohort II, Non-STEM Group I of the Lagos East Teachers’ Fellowship. The Lagos East Teachers Fellowship has greatly impacted me as a classroom teacher. “My exposure to the inquiry-based method of teaching has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking and planning. With my knowledge of Google Slides, Render Forest, Inshort, Legend, Canva, and 2D and 3D Animation, I have learnt better ways to develop and use instructional materials in my classroom. Also, my engagement with students has given them more opportunities to think, reflect and own ideas on topics and issues. It has also improved their abilities as individual learners. “My experience in the program was very educative, engaging, and impactful. I want to thank all the facilitators, for their innovative ways of teaching us. I often engage my colleagues on the new ideas learnt from the program. I hereby recommend the Lagos East Teachers Fellowship to all teachers in Ikorodu and Lagos State”.
Sobowale Adefolahan Olusesan, said, “ I wish to sincerely appreciate the creativity and innovativeness of our indefatigable Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru for putting a premium on human capital development, especially for us teachers to learn new pedagogies and improve the learning outcomes for students”.
Blessing Osoba, a Biology teacher at Olomu Community Senior Secondary School, Ibeju-Lekki opined “ With a lot of hands-on training in digital learning applications such as a Reindeer forest, In-shot, Canva, and Legend for instructional designs as well as materials to facilitate learning, my experience in the Lagos East Teachers’ Fellowship has been truly rewarding for my career. In addition, using digital labs, Google Classroom and Quiz has been a game changer for me, helping me engage learners in better exploration of scientific concepts and assess my learners’ understanding”. Qudus Bello, a Further Mathematics teacher at Community Senior High School, Orimedu, was part of the Lagos East Teachers’ Fellowship (STEM) Cohort 2. He said, “Through the fellowship program, I was able to master the art of inquiry-based learning and apply it to deepen my students' imaginations and boost their creativity. I was also exposed to using a digital laboratory as instructional material for science practicals which has improved the learning experience and outcomes”.
Senator Abiru, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Constituency Matters, Dr (Otunba) Saheed Oladapo Ibikunle, congratulated the teachers on the successful completion of their training. He admonished them to impact their students with the skills they have acquired.
Dr Ibikunle, who is a seasoned educational administrator, charged the teachers to explore various teaching methods in improving learning outcomes in their students. He declared that what a student does not know is what he has not been taught. He concluded by tasking the teachers to adopt continuous capacity development as a lifestyle. The Ikorodu Teachers' Lounge, an initiative aimed at providing a space for teachers in Lagos East to work, study, and collaborate, was officially launched at the event also. Chinyelu Akpa, Practice Lead for Education at re:learn, an initiative of CcHub, expressed her gratitude to the Senator for creating a rare opportunity for teachers in the district.
The Ikorodu Teachers' Lounge offers registered teachers free access to the SAIL Lab, a state-of-the-art facility designed to provide an ideal environment for study, work, and research. Teachers can utilize the lab for free between 3-5 pm daily, although booking is required to ensure a smooth and organized experience for all users.
In addition to providing a space for individual work and study, the Ikorodu Teachers' Lounge aims to foster a sense of community among educators in Lagos East. Every Friday, the Lounge will host community events specifically geared towards the professional development and growth of local teachers. These events will facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and networking, ultimately contributing to the improvement of education in the district.
Chinyelu Akpa emphasized the importance of supporting teachers, stating, "By providing this space and organizing these community events, we hope to empower teachers with the resources and connections they need to thrive in their profession. We believe that when teachers are supported, the entire education system benefits, leading to better outcomes for students and the wider community."
The Ikorodu Teachers' Lounge is a clear example of the power of collaboration between the private sector and non-profit organizations to create initiatives that drive positive change. As the Lounge continues to grow and develop, it will serve as a valuable resource for educators in Lagos East, ultimately leading to a more robust and well-supported education system.
A call for applications for the 2023 cohort was declared open by SAIL. Teachers in public and private schools in Lagos East are enjoined to apply.

RE: DON’T ARREST ANY MOTORIST, SANWO-OLU WARNS LASTMA ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

fb img 16863785586661705408803098953377 The attention of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has been drawn to the recurring fake news circulating on social media, purported to have been said by the Governor of Lagos State Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu that, "Henceforth no LASTMA Officials should arrest any motorist, either commercial or private.
LASTMA must manage traffic and not arrest".
A statement released by the Director, of the Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Mr Adebayo Taofiq said the General Manager of the Agency, Mr Bolaji Oreagba had previously debunked the fake online news which had alleged that LASTMA Officials were banned from arresting motorists who flout the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018.
Mr Oreagba explained that the false report, which is the handiwork of faceless mischief makers, has been repeatedly circulated online since February 2020 despite being severally refuted by the management of LASTMA.
He warned Lagosians, especially motorists, to be wary of online reports aimed at causing chaos and mischief within the society.
"I wonder why some individuals choose to always mislead others to contravene the traffic law of the State as amended by the State House of Assembly in 2018", he noted.
General Manager hinted that part of the Agency's responsibility is to uphold and enforce the traffic laws of the State, maintaining that the officers and men of LASTMA will not hesitate to enforce those laws whenever violated to transform the State's transportation system towards ensuring the free flow of traffic and reducing road accidents.
According to him, "The motoring public is advised to ignore and disregard all fake news circulated by faceless individuals and designed to lead them into breaking the traffic law of the State".
He stated further that all working ethics of the Authority, including its operations, are being regulated by the State's Laws.
General Manager confirmed that the Agency is currently operating with modern technological innovations in addressing traffic challenges by equipping traffic management personnel with new hand-held Traffic Management Solution (TMS) devices that capture real-time traffic violations on the road, in addition to a signalised intersection and junction improvement.
While thanking all road users for their support and cooperation with LASTMA which has culminated in the reduction in travel time, Oreagba, however, advised motorists to call any of the Agency's hotlines (08100565860, 08129928503 & 08129928597) for any inquiry or clarification on the activities of the Agency.

AYANGBURE OF IKORODU KINGDOM RECEIVES KICC FOUNDER, MATHEW ASHIMOLOWO, CHURCH PLANS TO PROVIDE 60 MILLION NAIRA WORTH OF MEDICAL AID AT IKORODU MEGA-CONVENTION ®™√ INN Nigeria ©

9098uijggyuu424246991497298322 The Ayangbure of Ikorodu Kingdom, HRM, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, received the founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo at his palace on the 8th of June 2023.
Pastor Ashimolowo, who's also the President of Christ Compassion To The Rural World, paid a courtesy visit to the paramount ruler of the waterbed region in Lagos State, with plans to organise an international convention on the last quatre of 2023.
Approximately 80 communities in the central axis of Ikorodu Central were fully represented at the palace, culminating with high chiefs, Ayangbure-in-council, and baales.
Olori Abosede Kudirat Shotobi, wife of HRM, Sat by the side of the king as Ikorodu received the foremost clergyman.
Welcoming the Founder and his delegates, Otunba Ayodele Elesho, special aid to the king, described the visit as a moment of joy to see Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo back in Ikorodu.
He said, "We learnt that your missionary career started here in Ikorodu many years ago, and we're pleased to see God bringing you back, not only to see us but also to come and advance the Kingdom of God here".
"From the information I've gathered, the International convention to be organised by KICC in Ikorodu is a pleasant and laudable idea, which we're looking forward to amassing with open arms".
"We want to let you know that every assistance you need which the palace can provide, on behalf of the Ayangbure of Ikorodu Kingdom, Consider it done!" Otunba Elesho affirmed.
Elesho also said that the palace will not just support the convention physically, but will also join the church in prayers to ensure the program ends up successful.
Before speaking about the program, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo reminded everyone that he had lived in Ikorodu 49years ago and left the waterbed region some 47years ago, adding that it's a great feeling to be able to come back, and this time with the good news of Jesus Christ to touch the city.
Illustrating the program proper to the King and all present at the palace, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, said the assignment which is billed to undertake a major outreach in the Ikorodu division was placed in his heart by God after 3years of fervent prayers. According to him, the program which will run for 7 consecutive days will provide welfare packages to cater to 50,000 residents in Ikorodu. Food items, clothes and educational gadgets for students will also be disbursed during the week-long program.
He continued, "Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), during the program, will support 200-300 families requiring medical operations with free surgeries at Ikorodu General Hospital".
"60 million naira worth of prescription drugs will be doled out to residents after people have been diagnosed to know the right medication needed".
Pastor Matthew illustrated that the last Saturday of the program will be a medical affair where Igbogbo Stadium (the venue for the convention) will be converted into an open hospital to cater for health-challenged individuals. And on that same Saturday night, there will be a major evening crusade. "We're aware that Igbogbo Stadium is still under construction as we speak, but before coming here, we had a meeting with the Lagos State Government, and we've been told that the stadium will be completed by September, before the program set date (in November)".
"Nigeria is at a crossroads and we're going through a lot of challenges, we must bring help, relief and blessing to the people in Ikorodu" Pastor Ashimolowo asserted
Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo later presented 'The Power Of Positive Prayers', a book he authored that contains 15,000 prayer points to the King.
His Royal Majesty, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, Ayangbure of Ikorodu Kingdom, in his speech, thanked Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo for coming to Ikorodu, calling the day remarkable.
Oba Kabiru said though Pastor Ashimolowo found his way back to Ikorodu, He (the King) has been peeking to meet with the clergyman for quite some time.
He continued, "When Pastor Adeboye, founder of the Redeem Christian Church of God came to Ikorodu for a special program, I requested he prayed for LASPOTECH to become a University, he did and it came to pass". "Later, when Pastor Folorunsho Kumuyi of Deeper Life Church visited Ikorodu for another special program, I requested he prayed for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to become the next President of Nigeria, he did and today we have him as President".
"For our dear Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, I only have one request for him, he should pray for us that the next Governor of Lagos State should come from Ikorodu because we're long overdue for it".
The King also suggested that the venue for the convention be shifted to LASUSTECH to have a bigger space. Pastor Ashimolowo subsequently gave reasons as to why the church decided to use Igbogbo Stadium. Oba Shotobi prayed for the church to continue to expand across the globe, adding that Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo should make KICC more visible in Ikorodu.
Ikorodu Oga Development Association (IKODASS) Chairman, Mr Rotimi Erogbogbo gave the closing remarks by appreciating Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo for allowing God to direct him back to Ikorodu, asserting that the entire division will be gazing ahead to work with his positive course.
Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo was accompanied by; Pastor Wole Oladiyun, Chief Mrs Folukemi Olusanya, Rev. Dr Janet Onaolapo, Rev. Jet Bankole, Dr Julie Emakpo, Commander Peter Olabode, Pst Ben Oyebanji, Rev. Dapo Taiwo, Pastor Ebenezer Olushola, Mugagi Olawole among others.
The event will hold from the 6th to the 11th of November 2023.
