• The Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, was at the Aso Rock Villa on Tuesday evening to see President Bola Tinubu.

    Dangote, who arrived just minutes before 07:00pm, departed about 30 minutes later without briefing the press.

    It would be their first face-to-face meeting at the Villa since the president toured the 650,000-barrel-per-day Dangote Refinery in Lagos on June 5.

    No agenda was revealed, but the encounter follows a string of blunt comments from Africa’s richest man about the nation’s downstream sector and his plan to upend fuel distribution.

    On July 11, Dangote told visiting executives that the state-owned plants in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna were beyond rescue despite roughly $18bn in rehabilitation spending.

  • If you follow after integrity, you may not arrive your destination with others, but when you eventually arrive, heaven and earth will rejoice at your success.
    Father, help me to walk in integrity and follow peace with all men.
    Amen.

  • *Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop covering our eyes*.

    *Things are NOT right with our Youths*.

    *Today, i read about a young man expelled from Babcock University-a teenager with a ₦100,000 ritual soap from a herbalist.*

    *He borrowed ₦500,000. He became a drug peddler.*

    *Not from a poor home. Not a street child. But a well-groomed boy from a comfortable background. Wetin him dey find? KILO NWA KIRI !!!*

    *What is going on with our YOUTHS? Why this desperation for quick wealth*?

    *What has happened to HARD WORK, INTEGRITY, and DIGNITY*?

    *Last week, we struggled to find a tiler for one of our projects. We had to bring in one from Togo. Why*?

    *Because our own YOUTH do not want to learn any skill*.

    *They don’t want SCHOOL.*
    *They want “HOOKUP*”
    *They want “YAHOO*.”
    *They want to do nothing but SCROLL, LIE, PARTY and they want MONEY FAST*.

    *And let’s be real. You cannot do Yahoo or Hookup without drugs or Alcohol. They go hand in hand*.

    *My heart is heavy. Are we just going to fold our hands and watch this generation waste away*?

    *PARENTS! Wake up*!
    *Where are you*?
    *Why the silence*?
    *Why the complacency*?
    *Why are some of us condoning and funding this destructive lifestyle*?

    *Your child doesn’t need a new PHONE-they need PURPOSE*.

    *They don’t need more DATA-they need DISCIPLINE*.

    *They don’t need “FREEDOM”-they need BOUNDARIES*.

    *We cannot keep blaming SOCIETIES, FRIENDS, INFLUENCERS. It starts from the HOME*.

    *Please, let’s start talking again*.

    *Let’s check their bags*.
    *Let’s check their hearts*.
    *Let’s check ourselves*.

    *To every Parent reading this please be present*.

    *Your child doesn’t just need your MONEY; they need your TIME and VOICE*.

    *Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to dig deeper, even if it’s uncomfortable*.

    *Teach values. Wealth is GOOD, but WISDOM, CHARACTER, and CONTENTMENT are better*.

    *Be their safe space. If you don’t listen, the world will and it will feed them lies*.

    *Let’s rise up and fight for the souls of our children. We may not be able to save all, but we must not give up on the ones we can reach*

    *They are not just the future-they are our now*.

    _*Let’s not lose them...*_

    *WHEN PARENTS FAIL – HOW LACK OF DISCIPLINE IS CREATING A GENERATION OF LOST SOULS*

    There was a time when parents raised warriors. Now, they raise weaklings.

    A time when children feared their fathers’ discipline. Now, children insult their fathers online.

    A time when a slap from your mother could reset your entire future. Now, mothers watch their children twerk for clout.

    The world changed—not because evil became more powerful, but because parents became weaker.

    Children no longer have boundaries. No fear. No respect. No discipline.

    And the result?

    A generation that mocks God, worships vanity, and embraces sin with pride.

    *BRUTAL THREAD:*

    1. *CHILDREN WITHOUT DISCIPLINE BECOME ADULTS WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL*

    A child who never hears “NO” at home will hear “NO” from life when it’s too late.

    The boy who was never told to control his desires will become a man addicted to sex, gambling, and laziness.

    The girl who was never told to respect herself would become a woman who exposes her body for money and attention.

    The child who was never corrected for lying will become an adult who deceives, manipulates, and steals.

    If parents don’t discipline their children, the world will punish them later.

    2. *THE FALL OF FAMILY VALUES IS THE RISE OF MORAL DECAY*

    What happened to parenting?

    Mothers used to teach daughters how to be women of dignity. Now, they encourage them to “secure the bag” by any means.

    Fathers used to teach sons how to be responsible men. Now, they are absent—either too weak, too distracted, or too scared to lead.

    So children are now learning from TikTok instead of home, and the internet is raising a generation with no fear of God and no sense of direction.

    3. *PARENTS WHO SPOIL THEIR CHILDREN ARE DESTROYING THEM*

    Giving your child everything they want is the fastest way to ruin them.

    A child who never worked for anything will grow up lazy and entitled.

    A child who was never disciplined will grow up thinking life has no consequences.

    A child who was never corrected will grow up believing they can do anything and get away with it.

    Now, we have a world full of adults who can’t handle rejection, can’t handle failure, and can’t handle life.

    4. *WHEN PARENTS CHOOSE FRIENDSHIP OVER LEADERSHIP, CHAOS FOLLOWS*

    Many parents today want to be their child’s friend instead of their leader.

    So instead of saying:
    "This behaviour is wrong!" They say, "She’s just expressing herself."
    "You must work for what you want!" They say, "Let me buy it for you."
    "This is not acceptable!" They say, "I don't want to hurt their feelings."

    And just like that, we have a generation of weak people who cry over small problems and break down when life gets tough.

    5. *THE NEW GENERATION LOVES PLEASURE BUT HATES RESPONSIBILITY*

    Discipline used to be normal.

    Now, a child calls it "abuse" when a parent corrects them.

    Now, teachers can’t discipline students because "it’s too harsh."

    Now, young people demand freedom but reject accountability.

    Everyone wants to enjoy, but no one wants to work.

    And this is why:

    The streets are full of lazy men chasing quick money.

    Social media is full of young girls selling their bodies for attention.

    Homes are full of broken families because nobody was raised to be a good partner or parent.

    6. *WHEN CHILDREN LOSE DISCIPLINE, THEY LOSE THEIR FUTURE.*

    Many young men today are addicted to masturbation, pornography, and cheap pleasure—because nobody taught them self-control.

    Many young women today expose their bodies for social media likes—because nobody taught them self-respect.

    Many young people today are broke, weak, and mentally unstable—because nobody taught them how to survive hardship.

    The devil is not the problem. The parents failed.

    7. *IF WE DON’T FIX PARENTING, THE WORLD WILL GET WORSE.*

    If we continue like this, the next generation will:
    Have no morals.
    Have no work ethic.
    Have no fear of God.

    Society will collapse—not because of demons, but because of poor parenting.

    *BOTTOM LINE:*

    If you are a parent, discipline your children.
    If you are young, discipline yourself.

    Because the world will not be kind to those who were raised without discipline.

    *Let’s raise warriors, not weaklings.*
    *Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop covering our eyes*. *Things are NOT right with our Youths*. *Today, i read about a young man expelled from Babcock University-a teenager with a ₦100,000 ritual soap from a herbalist.* *He borrowed ₦500,000.

  • In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

    Press Statement

    A Call to the Leaders and Rulers of Our Arab and Islamic Nations:

    Our Palestinian people are dying of hunger. The time has come to break the shackles, open the crossings, and rescue the starving in Gaza.

    As famine in the Gaza Strip enters dangerous and unprecedented stages—after nearly five months of complete closure, and the deaths of nearly one hundred civilians, including eighty children, due to starvation and malnutrition, in addition to a thousand martyrs who were killed by occupation bullets at aid checkpoint gates—while the world watches this humanitarian tragedy managed by the occupation without lifting a finger, we in the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas affirm the following:

    • We are astonished at the official Arab and Islamic silence in the face of the systematic genocide and criminal starvation taking place in the Gaza Strip. We emphasize that the reactions and positions expressed do not rise to the level of the catastrophe faced by 2.25 million people.

    • This deafening silence dashes the hopes of our oppressed people in the leaders of the ummah, and encourages the war criminal Netanyahu to continue his policies of starvation and extermination against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

    • Our people are being starved and deprived of water, while thousands of aid trucks pile up on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, at a time when the occupation government imposes a criminal mechanism of killing and humiliation in managing the starvation.

    • While we decry the failure to implement the resolution of the extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit held in Riyadh in November 2023, we call for an end to the silence and the adoption of a historic stance—by activating all pressure tools to stop the starvation policy, break the siege, and immediately allow the entry of aid.

    • We call on Arab and Islamic countries to sever all forms of relations with the fascist occupation entity, close embassies, expel Zionist ambassadors, cancel all forms of normalization, and isolate and reject this criminal entity as a first step toward deterring it and forcing it to stop its crimes against our oppressed Palestinian people.

  • OKE OGUN: THE BEST AS CAPITAL FOR THE PROPOSED NEW OYO STATE.

    Following the Senate public hearing held in Lagos earlier this month in respect to the state creation, the Senate has in their Friday 11th July plenary proposed the creaction of 12 new states with 2 in each geo-political zone. This development had Ibadan and Ijebu States proposed from the present Oyo and Ogun states respectively. And in all fairness to the Senate, they have done a great job that will enable easy passage of the bill, having conspicuously considered the landmass of some of the shortchanged states in the last creation.

    By that arrangement, Ibadan is going with Ibarapa, leaving ÒkèÒgùn, Oyo and Ogbomoso in the new Oyo State. The siting of new Oyo State Capital should ordinarily not be a topic of debate and should ACTUALLY NOT. By every standard, ÒkèÒgùn is naturally positioned as the most suitable location for the capital of the new Oyo State. Factors like landmass, Population, natural resources, centralization, huge infrastructure, Economy, Tourist sites, Food Security, and presence of Research Centers and Higher Institutions of Learning are outstanding qualifications for ÒkèÒgùn to be sited as capital.

    Beyond all sentiments, ÒkèÒgùn represents about 47.57% of the total landmass of the present Oyo State; it will represent more than 65% of the proposed new Oyo state. And by numbers of Local Government Area, ÒkèÒgùn has 10 LGAs which is the largest amongst the rest of it's co- proposed journeyers; Ogbomoso with 5 LGAs and Oyo with 4 LGAs. For a fact! ÒkèÒgùn with its 13,537km2 area is 2 to 4 times bigger than Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Ekiti and Lagos States. So, if it can not stand as a state for now, being a capital would be fair.

    Talking about natural resources deposits, no other region other than ÒkèÒgùn in either of the present Oyo State or the proposed new Oyo State (with the exit of Ibadan and Ibarapa) that has an inch of the natural resources and precious stones the nature has blessed ÒkèÒgùn with; amongst which are gold, marble, kaolin, granite, iron-ore, tantalite, talc, beryl etc. They are all available in commercial quantities in ÒkèÒgùn.

    Going by Centralization: ÒkèÒgùn is so central and naturally positioned such that one can easily connect from anywhere within and outside the state. There are good road networks suitable to navigate to state capital from Ogun, Kwara, the proposed Ibadan state and even beyond.

    On infrastructure, the Ikere Gorge Dam in Iseyin is a huge source of Power/water Generation and distribution to the state and its neighbors. And apart from power and water security, this will attract investors and shall in no meagre measure boost the economy of the state. Need we also mention that the construction of the road that leads to Ikere Dam has commenced courtesy of Governor Seyi Makinde's administration and the long abandoned Power plant has also recently been approved for revamping by the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to commence soon.

    Iyake hanging lake in ÒkèÒgùn is a great site to behold for tourists. Colorado has the 2nd hanging lake in the world and it's boosting it's economy through same by way of tourism. The Federal Government will benefit hugely in this resource and the new state will also not suffer courtesy of this alone.

    For Economy, virtually each town in ÒkèÒgùn has outstanding art that boosts economic activities. Iseyin is known for the great art of Aso Oke rated as best in the world; Ipapo for soap making, Shaki for quality Pot production and other towns for one art or the other. Aso Oke International Market in Iseyin is also a great one to lure investors to the new proposed state and shall be a major source of Economy booster.

    ÒkèÒgùn being the food basket of Oyo State will do better in terms of Food Security upon attaining the State Capital status. The rich soil of the land coupled with the existence of Ikere dam will help farmers to engage in farming activities all year round produce.

    A capital city should be one with serene environment with facilities that does not only make people comfortable but that will also add value to people; such is ÒkèÒgùn with library of International standard (Raji Oke-Esa Library) and Ebedi Residency for Literary works sitting comfortably in the heart of ÒkèÒgùn.

    Aside other factors mentioned above, OkeOgun hosts a Federal University, a State University, a State Polytechnic, 2 private Polytechnics and a College of health Sciences. All these are lovely factors to be considered, as the new capital will not start from the scratch for those important requirements.

    Finally, the National Assembly has gone this far, the completion of the process will determine what they shall be remembered for after now. It's only expected they are remembered for good, by placing the capital where it best suits. We can all ruminate on the words of Edmund Burke who said , "There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature and of nations". The justice and equity here can only be NEW OYO STATE with ÒKÈÒGÙN as CAPITAL.

    May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    Bitcoin is breaking through the descending resistance, I am in LONG position.

    Expect Bitcoin to take a lead now again, then Altcoins will follow.

  • Senator Natasha H. Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central Senatorial District has officially notified the Inspector-General of Police of her intention to resume legislative duties at the National Assembly following a Federal High Court ruling that nullified her suspension. This move comes despite an earlier caution from the Nigerian Senate urging her not to resume.
