Ariwoola, Salute To Wisdom


Given the toxicity and the incendiary waves of the period and leading to the Supreme Court adjudicating on the appeal by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, of the Labour Party, what would have been said of Chief Justice Kayode Ariwoola is better imagined than experienced if he had headed the Supreme Court panel of the Justices to hear the appeals! He did not also enlist on the panel the two other Justices from South-West, Justice Kudirat Akin-Kekere Ekun and Justice Helen Ogunwunwumi.

The judgment would have been a bone of fierce contention, to put it mildly, between the Yoruba and the Igbo: What do you expect, is Ariwoola not a Yorubaman? He gave the judgment in favour of his brother, Tinubu! That would have been the careless and cruel talk. Did a Professor not say Chief Justice Ariwoola flew to London under the guise that he was ill to meet secretly with Tinubu? It was false and the fellow, a lawyer for that matter, was to promptly apologise.

There were bush radios and television stations already saying all kind of things about the Chief Justice to smear his image. But with a dose of wisdom, he disarmed everyone! He excused himself and stayed out of what promised to be the dangerously frayed tempers. It is homage to wisdom and salute to sensitivity. The Chief Justice was commendably at alert. Help came from On High, from the Throne of Grace. We must bow our spirits in worshipful adoration of His Holy Name.

Oyo :Tracking $1.7m Stray Elephant In Saki ||Damilola Ayeni

Image
  When a stray elephant died last year barely 24 hours after capture by the University of Ibadan, the general response was ‘How?’. It was to find answers that I set out on a sunny Tuesday morning and almost never returned. But the answer is here, and more. Eight cells, 16 handcuffs … The thing about elephants: they are as smart as their size. They live in family groups and solve their own problems. By trampling forests and grasslands, they increase carbon storage and make room for smaller animals to co-exist, and they are rare in Africa now. One strayed into Gobo, a community between the Saki area of Oyo and Kwara State, Nigeria, last year and blocked a farm from the sun. First, the farm looked dark, as if it was about to rain, and then an old farmer spotted the elephant. Anyone would be scared, but this was a harmless mammoth. Villagers would offer it some leaves and it would give them its back to climb. Children flocked around the elephant, and it walked majestically amidst them ...

100 Days In Office: Will Hon. Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun Fail||Balogun Uthman

Image
There are 365 days in a year, and public office holders have about 1,460 days to prove themselves. Holding public officers to account in 100 days after they take office cannot effectively and logically assess the worth and value that these public officers bring to the table. Nevertheless, it is a day that affords the the led an opportunity to measure the performance of those they elected. While the first 100 days may provide an initial evaluation of a leader's capabilities, it is crucial to acknowledge that significant changes take time. In the case of Honorable Tajudeen Abisodun Kareem, his tenure as the representative for Saki West, Saki East, and Atisbo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives has raised questions about his ability to deliver on his promises. However, a closer and circumspect look at his impressive achievements and proactive initiatives suggests that Honorable Kareem is on the path to success and has the potential to exceed expectations in his role...
