Ijebu Ode Today; OneTime Experience Expected to be a Day-Day Reality

Ijebu Ode Security Issues

Ijebu Ode (Omo Alagemo Merindinlogun as sometimes called its indigenes) witnessed an unusual dimension today November 5th 2016 from day break till late evening. It is often believed that Ijebu Ode is a peaceful environment where its dweller enjoy what majority of Lagosians are struggling to live with on a day to day basis. 

Gist/gossips all around the town today was about the Wedding of Sidikat Motunrayo Adetoun, the daughter of the Awujale of Ijebuland (Oba (Dr.) Sikiru Adetona) with Olanrewaju Oladiran in Ijebu Ode. In attendance were dignitaries from the south western region and beyond viz; Guest at the wedding include Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, Dr. Kayode Fayemi... The list is just endless. 
The sole interest in today's event was reflective in the coordination of the security agencies all round the town; soldiers, police, vigilante groups were more than necessary due to the rate of atrocities committed in the land lately. The justification here is about the rates of crime against life and properties in the land which flows from robbery (armed in particular) in various dimensions suffered by inhabitants; shop burgling, kidnapping for ransom.., and lately to the visit of Awujale Palace in the search of Ade (Crown). Although, it was recorded that lot of goodies were catered away from the palace with the exception of the Crown. This therefore remains worrisome to the inhabitants respectively.

These and lots more made it of top priority to see into the security measures in the land. With the coordination of the security officials today, it's continuity on a day-day basis can reduce case of criminal related issue and also deter potential offenders. Thence, the town must not just be a secured arena for the rich and powerful ones but rather for all (particularly the masses-hopeless ones).

    So, you mean some thief's came lately to steal away the Awujale crown. That's amazing. Anyway, I am of the opinion that lots of security personnel like this isn't advisable for a day to day life. It has a lot of adverse effect and long term effect on the freedom of the people living in the society, and can scare away immigrant to the community. Simply, it inflicts restriction on fundamental human right of people.
    Not to even talk about how security personnel can take advantage of this medium to be another source of exploiting the civilians. Don't forget this is Nigeria society. Anything goes. A country where security personnel are not humanitarian but tormentor. Lol

Unanswered Questions about Lekki Toll Gate Massacre on the 20th October 2020

It came as a shock to me and many other Nigerians waking up to the news of some unarmed youths shot at by security officials at the most coordinated protest ground in Lagos, Nigeria. The exact figures of fatalities were unaccounted for considering some middle grounds. These were based on the controversial news spread by the protesters, the state government, the Nigerian Army and the Presidency across the mass media.  Mr Governor said, "forces beyond his direct control were responsible for the heinous act" in his speech on the 21st October 2020. He went further to say there were no fatalities recorded. The Nigerian Army denied involvement in the horrific scene while the Presidency also maintained the same ground as others making the storyline more complicated.  However, there were a series of events possibly justifying that the horrible attack on harmless protesters were deliberate actions to frustrate youths clarion call to end police brutality and bad governance in the count

Are you Ready for the Future you Beckoning to Come?

The central idea of this post was curled from one of the Facebook live session of popular multiple Amazon Bestselling Author, an award-winning Entrepreneur, and International Speaker " Edirin Edewor ". The theme of the session was: so you want to go viral? In the session, I learnt the importance of being ready for the future we calling to come. How we get set before it happens? All credit goes to her for continually shunning out values every now and then. From the session, I saw that preparedness is the mother of success. Your preparedness now determines your future when it finally comes. How prepared are you for the journey? Edirin shared three stories in the live session but I will share one here. One of the stories she shared was about Amanda Gorman, the first National Youth Poet Laureate at the age of 22years. Her story got to me because of how hardwork and persistence pay within a twinkle of an eye. Note, you only need one person, one moment, one event, one idea, one pla
