Why Many Osun Awaiting Trial Inmates May Stay For Long In Detention - Investigation

MANY awai ng trial prisoners in Osun State may stay for long periods in deten on, inves gaon by OSUN DEFENDER has revealed. According to findings by the medium, lack of escort vehicles to convey

awai ng trial inmates or detainees to court have hindered effec ve service delivery by the Prison Service in the state.

It was gathered that the Ilesa Medium Security Custodial Centre of the Nigerian Correconal Service has only one opera onal vehicle,

used for the conveyance of the over 700 awaiting trial inmates to the 32 courts across in the state.

OSUN DEFENDER learnt that four of the opera onal vehicles have developed faults and beyond repair, a situa on causing perversion of

jus ce in the state. The problem ranges from engine and gear faults.

Also, the bus that is being used as Ambulance is totally down.

A source within the custodial centre told OSUN DEFENDER that the prison required an urgent interven on from

Aregbesola: A Big Player In Osun Politics - PDP

THE Osun State Peoples Democra c Party has described the immediate past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, as a big player in the poli cal field of the state.

PDP said it would be unreasonable to wish Aregbesola away in the poli cal calcula on of the state considering his achievements and popularity.

The party also urged Aregbesola and his followers to consider moving into the PDP fold, following their exit from the All Progressives Congress.

OSUN DEFENDER reports that the leadership of the Omoluabi Progressives, a poli cal group backed by Aregbesola in Osun, on Sunday, declared its resolve to dump APC, ci ng ill-treatment.

Reac ng to the development, Osun PDP Director of Media and Publicity, Oladele Bamiji, said the party is ready to have the Omoluabi Progressives in their fold.

He said, “Let me say that former governor Rauf Aregbesola is a big player in the poli cal field of Osun State. There is just nothing anybody can do about that. As a former governor for eight years, I am not sure it will be reasonable enough to wish him away in the poli cal calcula on of the state.

“That being said, as at the last we checked, he was a member of the opposi on APC in Osun State

Unreasonable For Anyone To Wish Him Away •Woos Former Governor, Followers

and we are also aware that there are internal bickerings in their party, which to us is not a new thing. It is normal in polics because of differences in ambi ons, ideas, and all that.

“Yes, we heard he exited APC as a party. We don’t have the full facts of that, there are many funny things in poli cs, perhaps, his group might be saying that to achieve another end that is not really open to the public.

“So, we all have to be

very cau ous. Poli cs is not straigh orward Mathematics. You can take a step to achieve another step.

“We don’t know about his exit from APC, but PDP will be interested in having him and his supporters if they are interested in joining us.

“Poli cs is a game of numbers, and PDP has popularity already, and we have a solid candidate that is loved by people.

“Many people are interested in coming to join us. If ex-governor Aregbesola

and his people are ready for us, we are ready to welcome them. We can’t turn anyone back.”

the state government, saying the present situa on is not in the best interest of the inmates.

The source said inmates are unable to attend court proceedings due to lack of opera onal vehicles which made them to stay longer as expected as awai ng trial.

“The present situa on of Ilesa prison is disheartening. All the opera onal vehicles are grounded and beyond repair. We urgenly needs the assistance of the state government. They should provide us more vehicle for the easy conveyance of awai ng trial inmates to various courts in the state. We have only just one vehicle to take over 700 inmates to about 32 courts in Osun.

“Many of the awaiting trial inmates are staying longer than expected because they could not go to court whenever their ma er comes up. We implore Governor Ademola Adeleke to please help us and make our service efficient,” the source disclosed.

OSUN DEFENDER also gathered that the prison’s medical centre lacks necessary drugs for inmate use while the prison management has resulted into self help in renova ng some of the buildings and offices.

A warder who spoke with the medium under the condi on of anonymity said: “We need more drugs and other items in the health centre. Most of the drugs are donated by NGOs and individuals. The government should please supply us necessary drugs and sensi ve materials for the inmates use.

“Our offices as well need to be renovated. We are the one solici ng for helps from individuals to renovate some of the offices. The state government should please help us. We appreciate them for what they are doing.”

Meanwhile, the problem has been a ributed to budgetary indiscipline. This was made known by an Osogbo-based legal prac oner during an interview with OSUN DEFENDER yesterday.

According to the legal luminary who do not want his name in print, there is money budgeted to take prisoners to court in Nigeria’s annual budget but it is being mismanaged by some prison officials, a situaon causing prison conges on. He said: “There is yearly alloca on budgeted for all prisons in the country to take prisoners to court but these funds are being embezzled by some prison top officials.

“We lawyers are facing difficul es due to this challenge. We will come to court and accused persons won’t show up. You will hear stories like the prison did not bring them to court. It’s really frustra ng.

“Even in some cases, Inmates have to contribute money to buy fuel for prison to take them to court. I want to plead with both Osun and Federal Government to provide our prisons in the state with necessary facili es. The Governor should give out vehicles for the sake of the inmates and to reduce conges on in our prisons.”

Allow Osun Shari’a Panel Transmute To Full-Flegde Court, SCN Begs Gov. Adeleke

THE Osun State Coordinator of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, Mallam AbulGaniy Ezra, has urged Governor Ademola Adeleke to allow the shari’a panel in the state transmute to a fullfledged court.

Ezra made the plea in an interview with newsmen in Osogbo on Monday. Ezra disclosed that the panel was inaugurated in the state in 2005.

According to him, the panel had resolved several civil ma ers, no ng that the 1999 Cons tu on provided for the establishment of shari’a courts in the country.

He also said those opposed to the court’s establishment in South- West were not Chris ans, but those ignorant about the opera on of the shari’a system of arbitra on.

He said, “Let me clarify that what people are referring to as the shari’a court is actually the shari’a arbitra on panel and it has been held for about 20 years now in Osun.

‘’It holds regular sitngs. They hold their arbitra on every last Wednesday or Thursday of the month. The panel has been si ng at the Muslim Community Secretariat in Osogbo for close to 20 years now.

‘’The inaugura on was

done at Oja-Oba Central Mosque, Osogbo, in 2005, and since then, sharia arbitra on has been going on.

“We don’t want to stop at that. What we intend to do is persuade the Osun State governor, even though it is our right, but we don’t take it like that; we see it as something that can be agreed on mutually.

‘’We have common law courts here which are adjudica ng on every issue that concerns ci zens and non-ci zens living in this country. Also, we have the customary court which is a provision of the Cons tuon, same as the shari’a court.

‘’So, I don’t know why people are making noise about the crea on of the shari’a court in the South-

West. Sec on 278 of the cons tu on said, ‘there should be a shari’a court,’ but any me our people heard anything about shari’a court, they thought maybe some people wanted to start war. No, it is not like that. It is about giving the right of Muslims to Muslims.”

But the Osun State Chairman of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Prof. Isaiah Adelowokan, noted that Chris ans in the South-West would oppose the establishment of a shari’a court in the region.

Adelowokan said, “I know no Chris an who will ever say shari’a court should come to SouthWest. We are not in support of it.”

Reac ng, the Osun State Commissioner for

Informa on and Public Enlightenment, Mr Kolapo Alimi, disclosed that the government has not received any request for the inaugura on of a shari’a court in the state.

Alimi explained that a decision on such a request would not affect the peace of the state.

“We have not received any request for shari’a court in Osun. When we get to the bridge, we will know how to cross it. If we get the request, the government will consider the pros and cons and take appropriate ac on that will not jeopardise the peace of the state.

‘’This is a democracy. If they table it, the government will look at it and take appropriate ac on,” Alimi said.

Confusion Break Bone

“The time is overdue to have real political movements and parties, for even the current economic dysfunction is as a result of the absence of a road as the APC has jettisoned its manifesto commitment to social democracy and embraced neo-liberalism”

FELA Ku was always on the ball, he was a very astute observer and analyst of unfolding trends.. His observa ons will have been a delight in this the season of the absurd in which we are moving from tragedy into farce.

What is tragic - comic in this interlude is the implosion of the interpreta on of the party system in the contemporary Nigerian context.

The poli cal par es in Nigeria are in reality Special Purpose Vehicles cobbled up to carry out transac ons, they have never been anchored on any discernable ideological chore. This is in contradis ncon to for example Ghana where the two main par es are the offshoots of the ideological split in the na onalist movement during the decolonisa on process. No one can say this about Nigeria’s APC and PDP who resemble the fic onal Tweedlee and Tweedledum in Gulliver’s Travels, very much two sides of a coin.

For much needed comic relief the APC during the week “sacked“ members who had already le ! The irony is not lost, for it reveals the structural defect of a forma on bere if the Democra c Centralism upon which the modern poli cal party is anchored.

The tragedy here is that those who exited the party from Osun State represent the spirit of the ideological chore upon which the party was founded. Without them, wherein lies the soul of the party?

The me is overdue to have real poli cal movements and pares, for even the current economic dysfuncon is as a result of the absence of a road as the APC has je soned its manifesto commitment to social democracy and embraced neo-liberalism.

The search for an alterna ve is jus fied. Their is a need for a convincing alterna ve in order to get out of the present stagna on and creeping authoritarianism.

Issues &

Policy

Integrity Over Wealth In Public Service

Abidemi Adebamiwa

IN Nigeria, many people see public service roles as a way to make money, o en saying, “There is money there.” This mindset focuses on personal gain instead of the true purpose of serving others and helping the na on grow. Imagine if public service roles were seen as opportuni es to improve our communi es rather than ways to get rich. Changing this mindset is essen al if we want to address corrup on. Public service should be a pla orm for integrity and posi ve impact, not personal enrichment. Public service should be about commitment, honesty, and making a real difference in society. But when people take these roles just to enrich themselves, corrup on inevitably creeps in. Nigeria consistently ranks as one of the most corrupt countries, according to Transparency Interna onal. This highlights how urgently we need to shi our view of public service. Imagine leaders whose priority is serving the people—this would transform trust in governance and inspire hope. Corrup on in Nigeria o en stems from how public service is perceived. Agencies like the EFCC and ICPC exist to combat corrup on but are frequently cri cized for poli cal bias and selec ve enforcement. Recently, the EFCC offered to train Liberia’s An -Corrup on Commission on comba ng corrup on and financial crimes. While this shows a willingness to share experse, Liberia and Nigeria both rank 145th on the 2023 corrup on index, raising ques ons about the EFCC’s own readiness to improve. Wouldn’t it make sense for the EFCC to learn from countries like Ghana (ranked 70th) or the UK (ranked 20th), where an -corrup on systems are more advanced?

The U.S. Department of State offers programs under its Bureau of Interna onal Narco cs and Law Enforcement Affairs, focusing on transparency and enforcement. These efforts are part of a broader U.S. strategy to modernize an -corrup on tools and foster partnerships globally. Nigeria’s EFCC could benefit immensely from engaging with such advanced ini a ves. Imagine the impact of combining Nigeria’s regional experience with global best prac ces. Addressing internal challenges would strengthen the EFCC’s credibility and ability to lead effec vely.

Why does this ma er? When the EFCC focuses on training others without addressing its own gaps, it misses chances to grow. The U.S. Strategy on Countering Corrup on emphasizes building partnerships and sharing knowledge as key to success. Imagine the progress Nigeria could make if the EFCC learned from the most effec ve an -corrupon systems. This kind of knowledge exchange could elevate Nigeria’s efforts and create stronger governance. A be er EFCC means a be er Nigeria for everyone.

Corrup on doesn’t just damage governments; it affects eve-

“Integrity benefits everyone. Countries with honest governments tend to have stronger economies and happier citizens. The EFCC has the chance to set an example by learning from global leaders and adopting best practices. Together, we can create a Nigeria where public service is respected, and corruption is rare. By making integrity the standard, we can improve lives and build a fairer society”

ryone. Fraud schemes like “Yahoo” scams have become so normalised that many families ignore how their children make money. This mindset harms society and encourages dishonesty. The White House’s Global An -Corrup on Consorum brings inves ga ve journalists and civil society together to expose corrup on and push for reforms. What if families in Nigeria celebrated honesty instead of ignoring the problem? Accountability starts at home and grows into a naonal culture.

Everyone has a role to play in correc ng this view of the world. Schools can teach the value of honesty, and media can highlight stories of people who serve selflessly. For example, Nigerian police officers have been recognized for refusing bribes, proving that integrity is achievable. These stories inspire others to follow their example and priori ze ethical behavior. Imagine the ripple effect if more people embraced these values.

What if public service was seen as a noble duty rather than a way to get rich? Instead of asking, “How much will they make?” we could ask, “What posi ve changes will they bring?”

This shi could inspire future leaders to focus on serving others. Media and educa on can help by promo ng those who lead with integrity. A new perspec ve like this could mark the beginning of a brighter future for Nigeria.

Integrity benefits everyone. Countries with honest governments tend to have stronger economies and happier ci zens. The EFCC has the chance to set an example by learning from global leaders and adop ng best prac ces. Together, we can create a Nigeria where public service is respected, and corrup on is rare. By making integrity the standard, we can improve lives and build a fairer society.

Osun Community Decries Environmental Pollution By Steel Company

INDIGENES of Ikirun, the Headquarters of Ifelodun Local Government Area of Osun State has expressed displeasure regarding the persisted air polluon caused by Prism Steel Mills to the community.

The Indigenes under the aegis of Na onal Ikirun Progressive Union (NIPU) Abuja Chapter in a le er dated January 24, 2025 and addressed to the Managing Director of the company, noted that the persisted pollu on has been having nega ve impact on the community.

According to NIPU, the air pollu on emana ng from the company has been reducing the community’s produc vity and vibrancy.

They called on the Osun State ministry of environment to urgently call the company to order.

A copy of the le er signed by the NIPU Na onal Secretary, Abdelhafeez Ishaq-Maigida and made available to OSUN DEFENDER on Wednesday reads: “I am wri ng to express my deep concern regarding the severe air pollu on caused by your steel rolling operaons in Ikirun and its negave impact on our community, which has persisted despite several calls to address the issues.

“While I recognize the importance of industrial growth and the poten al benefits your company brings, I believe such development should not come at the cost of the health and well-being of our people or the sustainability of our environment. Ignoring the several calls also would not take the problem away.

“The air pollu on emana ng from your operaons poses significant risks to our community, including:

“ Respiratory and Cardiovascular Issues: Prolonged exposure to par culate ma er, gaseous pollutants, and toxic fumes from your opera ons increases the prevalence of asthma, bronchi s, and other respiratory condi ons, parcularly among vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.

“Soil and Water Contamina on: Pollutants settling on farmland degrade soil fer lity and affect crop quality, posing a risk to food security in our region. Similarly, contamina on of nearby water sources threatens both aqua c life and human access to clean water.

“Decreased Air Quality: Reduced air quality adversely affects the overall quality of life, contribu ng to general discomfort and reducing the community’s produc vity and vibrancy.

•Gives Two Months Ultimatum For Compliance

“As an important stakeholder in Ikirun, I believe your company can do more to ensure your opera ons benefit the community while minimizing harm. To this end, I urge you to adopt the following prac ces:

“Implementa on of Pollu on Control Measures: Install technologies such as air scrubbers, filters, and electrosta c precipitators to reduce the release of harmful par cles and gases into the atmosphere

“Infrastructure Improvement: Increase the height of exhaust chambers to disperse emissions higher into the atmosphere, reducing the direct impact on surrounding areas.

“Environmental Monitoring and Transparency: Regularly measure air quality levels around your plant and share the data with the community, demonstra ng your commitment to environmental accountability.

“Community Engagement and Support: Invest in local development inia ves, such as healthcare, educa on, and infrastructure, to give back to the

community that hosts your opera ons.

“ISO Regulatory Compliance: Ensure full compliance with interna onal environmental standards, par cularly ISO 14001, which emphasizes environmental management systems. We request that you provide us with documenta on proving your compli-

ance within two months.

“I want to emphasize that the Na onal Ikirun Progressive Union (NIPU) - Abuja Chapter is not opposed to industrial development in Ikirun. On the contrary, we are commi ed to fostering progress and crea ng opportuni es for all.

“However, such progress

should not come at the detriment of our people’s health or our environment.

Your company has the poten al to set a precedent for sustainable and responsible industrial prac ces in our region.

“By addressing the environmental concerns and contribu ng to the community’s development, you

can build a mutually beneficial rela onship that ensures long-term success for both your company and the people of Ikirun.

“Failure to address these concerns or provide the requested documentaon within two months will leave us with no choice but to demand the temporary suspension of your operaons un l necessary standards are met.”

Outrage Over Selection Of 10,000 ‘Imole Youth Corps’

Yusuf Oketola

CONTROVERSIES have trailed the recent appointment of the 10,000 ‘Imole Youth Corps’ cadets by the incumbent administra on of Governor Ademola Adeleke.

This followed the announcement of the inaugura on of the scheme by the Osun State Commissioner for Youth Affairs, Hon. Moshood Olagunju slated for February 6, 2025.

According to findings by OSUN DEFENDER, members of the opposi on All Progressives Congress, APC in the state accused the state government of favouri sm and bias in the selec on process, saying only members of the Peoples Democra c Party, PDP were employed for the job.

Some of the APC members who spoke with OSUN DEFENDER under the

•As Adeleke Accused Of Employing PDP Members

•Osun Students Demand Inclusion In Scheme

condi on of anonymity claimed that the Adeleke’s administra on only sent congratulatory messages to their excos and members.

“Osun State Youths face disappointment from Osun State Government. Only PDP Unit/Ward/Local and party members received Imole Corps employment text messages while those who are not PDP or not a member to their party never received nor see any text message a er cas ng their votes for PDP in last Governorship elec on in the State.

“Before this government came on board, last administra on employed youths into teaching service, health sector and other ministries, agencies and

departments, where they were contribu ng meaningfully into the growth and development of the state.

“But as this government came onboard, the Governor used execu ve order to sack all the youths in schools, hospitals, ministries, agencies and departments just because of poli cal vende a.

“More so, the PDP as a party promised the youths that they will employ 5,000 Teachers, ‘Imole Youth Corps’ in thousand and many youths believed them, not knowing it was a decei ul message.

“Osun Youths should be aware that this government doesn’t value them and their wellbeing, rather, they see them as poli cal

tools which is only valuable to them during elec on,” the APC members stated.

All efforts to get the reac on of Hon. Olagunju proved abor ve as he did not respond to calls and terse messages sent to his phone.

Osun Students Demand Inclusion In Scheme

Also, the Secretary General, Na onal Associaon of Nigerian Students (NANS) Southwest, Comrade Olutunde Aboke, has called for the inclusion of students and recent graduates into the scheme.

According to Aboke, the students leadership after extensive consulta ons and inves ga ons found out that there was li le or no inclusion of students in the scheme.

The student leader in a statement made available to OSUN DEFENDER yesterday stressed that their inclusion would not only enrich the workforce but also contribute to addressing the pressing issue of graduate unemployment in the state.

He said: “A er extensive consulta ons and inves ga ons, it has come to our a en on that there has been li le or no inclusion of students and recent graduates in the Imole

Youth Corps recruitment process.

“This oversight is disheartening and raises ques ons about inclusivity, especially as students cons tute a significant segment of the youth populaon in Osun State.

“We therefore call on the Osun State Government, par cularly through the Office of the Commissioner for Youths, to address this concern promptly. It is vital to ensure that students and fresh graduates are given equal opportuni es to benefit from such impac ul programs.

“Their inclusion would not only enrich the workforce but also contribute to addressing the pressing issue of graduate unemployment in the state.

“While we commend the government’s efforts, we respec ully demand a thorough review of the recruitment process to accommodate eligible students and graduates who are eager to contribute meaningfully to the development of Osun State. This will demonstrate a fair and inclusive approach to youth empowerment ini a ves.

“We remain op mis c that the government will take swi and appropriate ac on in this regard. The Nigerian student community, as always, remains a commi ed partner in fostering growth and development in Osun State and beyond.”

How Aregbesola Tried To Resolve Osun APC Crisis - Adesiji

Yusuf Oketola

THE Chairman, Omoluabi Progressives, Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, has disclosed efforts made by former governor Rauf Aregbesola to resolve the crisis within the Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to Adesiji, Aregbesola made several steps to make peace and bring everyone in the party together, saying he was commi ed to finding a solu on to the division.

He stated this while featuring on a private radio program in Ilesa,

on Wednesday. According to him, “I can men on five efforts made by Ogbeni to make peace. He was commi ed to findings a solu on, but others didn’t a end the meetings.”

Also, the Chairman reaffirmed the tendency’s commitment to an

independent poli cal future, while affirming that it’s not in alliance with either APC or the Peoples Democra c Party (PDP).

Adesiji opined that the movement’s leaders are currently working on how to strengthen its structure ahead of its former asso-

Entertainment

cia on with a poli cal party.

“We know the onus of being a poli cal party. What we are about doing now is choosing execu ves from each unit, ward, local government and the state levels, followed by a na onal conven on where its new poli cal allegiance will be pronounced.

“They are free to say whatever they like. We have been in this kind of venture before. Before the advent of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Alliance for Democracy (AD) was referred to as a dead party.

Even the PDP said they were going to rule us for sixteen years. But when Ogbeni came, the narra ve and atmosphere changed. We won and ruled for twelve years before they dismantled what Ogbeni built.

“We have le the APC, and we won’t return. We are looking at replica ng the legacies of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Bola Ige and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who are symbols of good governance.”

Refu ng allega-

ons of an alliance with the PDP or other poli cal par es, the tendency’s Chairman said, “We didn’t form any alliance with any party. We stayed indoors because they said we were insignificant. They tagged us as minions, but they learned their lesson. When they welcomed Omisore into the APC at Freedom Park, they claimed it would put some people into poli cal oblivion. But we thank God it didn’t happen to us.

“When you are not wanted in a place, you move to another. In Osun, the South and East senatorial districts had their turn, and the West is next. But the APC leader, now the President of Nigeria, insisted on making his brother the APC flag bearer at all costs. Some members wanted to leave, but Ogbeni persuaded them to stay. However, when Oyetola became Governor, he began showing disdain for Ogbeni, despite the fact that the world knows what Ogbeni did to help install him.”

Amid K1’s ‘Feud’ With Muslim Clerics, Obesere Builds Mosque To Celebrate Birthday

AS the ‘ganusi’ controversy between Muslim clerics and Fuji maestro, King Wasiu Ayinde con nues to get Nigerians talking, his rival in the industry, Abass Akande (Obesere) enjoys public approval as he marked his 60th birthday with heartwarming dona ons.

Born on January 28, 1965, Akande, also known as Omorapala, commemorated his birthday by building a mosque for his former secondary school in Lagos.

The Fuji ar ste also donated essen al learning materials, including books and school bags, to students.

Sharing a video of the mosque on Instagram, Obesere said he won’t stop his philanthropic gestures.

“To God Be The Glory! Today, we commissioned the newly built mosque at my alma mater and also donated learning materials to the pupils. This will connue and won’t stop for a bit,” the singer said.

Obesere’s birthday celebra on and dona ons came amid a lingering controversy that followed the burial of his counterpart Wasiu Ayinde’s mother, popularly known as K1 de Ul mate. Recall that K1 became a subject of conversa on

on social media following his controversial remarks about Muslim clerics and his refusal to apologise to them.

Ahead of his late mother’s 8-day Fidau prayer, K1 was seen in a viral clip conversing with a man. In their discussion, he used the words ‘ganu si’ in reference to the clerics who vis-

ited his residence a er his mother had been buried.

“Alfas will not go to my father’s house; it’s my house they will, “Ganu si,” he said in Yoruba.

Many Muslim clerics found the word ‘ganu si’ insul ng as many interpreted it to mean the clerics attended social events uninvited primarily for pecuni-

ary reasons.

During the 8-day Fidau prayer, which took place on Friday, January 24, a respected and popular cleric, Sheikh Faruq Onikijipa — who delivered a sermon at the event — urged K1 to apologise for his purported disparaging comment about the cleric, but the musician refused.

He said he didn’t do anything wrong, adding that tendering an apology would amount to admittance of guilt.

His refusal to apologise sparked reac ons among the Muslim community as some supported him while others cri cised him for allegedly beli ling the clerics.

Headies Award Returns To Nigeria

THE Headies, Nigeria’s biggest music award, is set to return home with the hos ng of two separate edi ons of the annual show in 2025, its organisers have said.

In a video shared on Headie’s X page, Ayo Animashuan, founder of The Headies, said the 17th edi on of the award would take place on April 5, focusing on the music of 2024.

He also revealed that the nomina ons list for this 17th edi on will be released on February 12,and the 18th edi on would take place in December, celebra ng music from 2024 and 2025 respecvely.

He said: “This awards

that is happening in April was meant to happen last year, but for some reasons, it didn’t happen last year.

“We did not want to miss a calendar year… So the next is going to happen in December. It is going to be a part of the De y December trend.”

The Headies is a presgious music awards show established in 2006 to recognise outstanding achievements in the Nigerian music industry.

The first edi on, hosted by Darry Art Alade, was held at the Shell Hall of the MUSON center on Onikan, Lagos.

Some ar stes who were on the honour’s roll at the maiden edi on of the Headies include

Don Jazzy, P-Square, Jude Okoye, Mode 9,DJ Jimmy Ja , Keke Ogungbe and Dayo.

OAU Students Reject 7am, Late-night, Saturday Classes

STUDENTS of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife in Osun State, have rejected what they described as ‘Academic abnormali es,’ calling on the university management to end early morning, late-night and Saturday classes.

The Students’ Representa ve Council (SRC), in a statement, said its commitment to upholding the welfare and overall well-being of the student body remains steadfast.

The student’s body

expressed its displeasure over “recent scheduling abnormali es and academic prac ces”, stating its rejec on of 7AM Classes, Lecture-Free Week Viola ons, Classes Extending Beyond 6PM, and Saturday Classes.

“It is impera ve that we remind the school community that the above are illegal pracces within OAU and it’s disheartening to see these abnormali es become a norm.

“These abnormalies disrupt the balance between academics and other essen al aspects

of students’ lives and the scheduling of lectures during lecture-free week undermines its intended purpose and robs students of the opportunity to consolidate their learning.

“We call on the university administra on and the Division of Student Affairs to immediately address these concerns. The Great Ife Students’ Union remains steadfast in our advocacy for policies that priori ze the welfare and academic success of all students and going forward, we will not hesitate to take

decisive ac ons to protect the rights and interests of our members should normalcy not be restored.

“We encourage all students to report such

classes and we especially urge all class reps to cooperate with these direc ves as unity is needed to safeguard the principles that define our great ins tu on.”

Ebonyi State and Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State.

Benjamin said that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, would last for two academic sessions, specifically, the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions.

I Forced Tinubu To Run For President - Ex- Osun Gov

Aformer governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande, has revealed that he played a pivotal role in convincing President Bola Tinubu to contest for the presidency.

In an interview, State Affairs with Edmund Obilo, published on Wednesday via YouTube, Akande disclosed that Tinubu was ini ally hesitant about pursuing the posi on, citing financial constraints and personal doubts.

“When I met him, he said, Baba, do you have money? If I had the kind of money that people have to be president, I would rank with Dangote,’” Akande recounted that Tinubu said he had no money to be president.

According to Akande, Tinubu was reluctant to heed advice about running for president, o en quarrelling with those who suggested the idea.

“People called me and said, ‘Come, there is trouble. Anybody that talks to him about the presidency, he was quarrelling with them.’ So, I went to Lagos and met him,” he said.

Akande said he approached Tinubu with

a compelling argument based on Yoruba tradion.

“I told him, ‘We don’t want you to be president because of you. You are unimportant in this matter. But in Yoruba tradion, when you want to worship the deity, you take the fa est animal or the biggest yam to worship. Yoruba wants to be president, and you are the one we have now. It is to sacrifice you so that we can have a president, not for you to be anything,’”

he said. This unconven onal appeal appeared to leave Tinubu momentarily speechless, he said.

“He was looking at me as if I was sick or something,” Akande said, adding that Tinubu later asked him, “Baba, you now say I should run. What about this, my leg?” referring to his health challenges. Akande assured him, “Go and do it. There is s ll me. You will heal in six months.”

Reflec ng on the chal-

lenges Tinubu faced on his path to the presidency, Akande men oned the #EndSARS protests, which he claimed were orchestrated to end Tinubu’s poli cal career.

“#EndSARS was designed to be the end of Tinubu,” he stated.

When pressed on who was behind the protests, Akande alleged, “The Obidients were behind the endsars. It was manufactured from America and brought in just to stop him.”

“I said the Obedients, I didn’t say Obi. The Obedience came from America to do the endsars and later became a movement to form a party and they couldn’t form a party and join whichever party you know.”

Akande also touched on the rela onship between Tinubu and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, revealing that he played a key role in Osinbajo’s nomina on as

“As a result, JAMB will not approve any admissions for candidates seeking to enroll in the Law programme at the aforemen oned universi es for the 2025/2026 academic session.

”Furthermore, the ban on registra on for the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy will extend into the 2026/2027 academic session,” he said.

vice president.

“In 2011, Tinubu was discussing with Buhari about replacing Bakare with someone. I told Tinubu, ‘I’m going to recommend Osinbajo, and I did.”

However, Akande noted that during the presiden al primaries, Osinbajo did not step down for Tinubu, despite efforts to avoid bitterness among Yoruba contenders.

When asked if former President Muhammadu Buhari opposed Tinubu’s candidacy, Akande denied this.

“He didn’t tell me so,” he said. “I asked him many ques ons, including whether he ins gated Osinbajo to contest against Tinubu. He said no and explained that, in his culture, when your mentor is interested in a posi on, you don’t contest with him.”

Akande concluded by acknowledging Tinubu’s growth as a polical strategist.

“He may have known a lot about the poli cs of Lagos and America, but he was very ignorant about the poli cs of Nigeria. Now that he is president, I don’t know how much he has learned.”

Napoli Reject Galatasaray’s €65m Osimhen Bid

NAPOLI have rejected a €65m bid from Galatasaray for Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the Turkish giants a empted to make Osimhen’s loan move permanent but fell short of the striker’s €75m release clause.

The 26-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan unl the end of the season without an op on to buy, but the Turkish club have a unique advantage in negoa ons due to a compensa on clause in the agreement.

Should Osimhen move to another club in January, Galatasaray would be en tled to €6m compensaon, effec vely raising his release clause to €81m for other clubs during the winter transfer window.

This special arrangement means only Galatasaray can acquire the striker for €75m this month, with other clubs

able to trigger the same release clause from summer.

Osimhen’s release clause was ini ally set at €130m but was reduced last summer when he signed a new deal with Napoli before joining Galatasaray.

The Nigeria internaonal has been in scin lla ng form for the Turkish leaders, ne ng 16 goals and providing five assists in 20 appearances since his

loan move.

In December, Osimhen publicly commi ed to seeing out his loan spell at Galatasaray, telling reporters, “I will not leave in January, I am at Galatasaray un l the end of the season.

“I do not know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about a erwards, but if they come to me, we will talk.”

Real Madrid To Face Manchester City Or Celtic In Champions League Round Of 32

Real Madrid will face either Manchester City or Cel c Glasgow in the next round of the Champions League (Round of 32), with the draw taking place this Friday at noon CET.

If Los Blancos advance to the Round of 16, they will play against Atleco de Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen.

Manchester City and

Real Madrid have met numerous mes in recent edi ons of the Champions League, and while Los Blancos have a solid record against Guardiola’s team, they should want to draw Cel c this early in the compe on.

Avoiding Manchester City would give Ancelo the op on to at least make some small rota ons and

adjustments in order to remain very compe ve in La Liga, even though Cel c will also be a tough team to beat.

Madrid’s road towards defending the European tle they conquered last season will be decided this Friday, so madridistas around the world will surely be paying close a en on to UEFA’s draw.

Adeleke Calls For Collaborative Efforts To Tackle Hardship

OSUN State Gover-

nor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has lauded Fidelity Bank for its Food Bank ini ave, no ng that individuals, groups, and corporate bodies needed to assist the government in tackling the current economic challenges.

Adeleke stated this on Tuesday at the distribuon of raw food by Fidelity Bank in collabora on with the Esther Adeleke Humanitarian Founda on to 2000 vulnerable people in Osun State held at the state Specialist Hospital, Asubiaro.

Represented by the Secretary to the state government, Chief Teslim Igbalaye, the Governor said the ini a ve reflects the core values of service, empathy, and fidelity to humanity.

He said, “This maiden edi on of the Fidelity Food Bank is both mely and symbolic. We live in a me when economic challenges have stretched many families to their limits, leaving several members of our society without access to basic needs such as food. Food insecurity is not just a personal crisis for those affected, it is a societal issue that demands collec ve ac on.

•As Fidelity Bank Distributes Raw Food To Vulnerable People

“Today, this ini a ve reflects the core values of service, empathy, and fidelity to humanity, values that this administra on holds dearly. As a Government, we are deeply commi ed to implementing policies and programs that alleviate poverty and provide opportuni es for every ci zen to thrive.

“It is per nent to state, however, that Government’s efforts alone cannot achieve the desired results. The ac ve parcipa on of individuals, founda ons, and private organiza ons remains very cri cal. That is why ini a ves like the Fidelity Food Bank serve as a perfect example of how partnerships between the Government and private en es can transform lives.

“Through this program, countless families in Osun State will experience relief and support. Beyond distribu ng food, this ini a ve is sending a message of hope that no one in our society is forgo en or le behind.”

Speaking on behalf of the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank, Mrs Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, the Regional Bank Head, Southwest II, Morenike Olabisi, said

the Fidelity Food Bank was to give to the needy and ensure that the bank impacts people that live around where the bank conducts its businesses.

Mrs Olabisi stated that the ini a ve has been implemented across the six geo-poli cal zones of Nigeria, adding that the bank will not relent in giving back to the socie es.

According to her, “This is Fidelity Food Bank and it was an ini a ve of our Managing Director. It was founded in April 2023 and it’s basically to give to the needy and ensure that where we do business, we also impact the people that live around us.

“We’ve done this in a lot of states across the six geo-poli cal zones of Nigeria. We’ve done it in the North; we visited the IDP camps where we distributed over 100 thousand of these food packs to vulnerable Nigerians. We believe in pu ng food on the table of the needy in order to make them happy.

“This is not the first me we are doing this in Osun State. We were here last year where we distributed 1,500 food packs. Today, we are distribu ng 2,000 packs of raw foods to the needy here in Osun. I want to assure you that we will

always be back as we go across the states of the federa on”.

The wife of the governor, Mrs Esther Adeleke, in her speech, stated that she leveraged her relaonship with the Fidelity Bank Managing Director to bring the Mrs Adeleke appreciated the Managing Director for the ini a ve, noting that the state is ready to support the bank.

“I leverage on the fact that I used to be a banker and I know the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank. She was my friend and colleague at the University of Nigeria and the banking industry. So, I leverage

my knowing her one-onone to bring Fidelity Food Bank to my state.

“It is purely Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, personal ini a ve. She started this and looked at how it had turned out. Her ini a ve of touching lives is a wellthought-out ini a ve.

“I want to encourage other banks to emulate her ini a ve. Apart from this project, Fidelity Bank is doing a lot of other humanitarian things, and I am happy for her because the bank is growing rapidly. My prayer is that Onyeali-Ikpe and the bank will never suffer. My state will support Fidelity Bank massively,” she stated.

ENVY and jealousy, according to psychologists, are complex emo ons that have fascinated writers, poets, and thinkers for centuries. While they are o en portrayed nega vely, they also offer insights into human nature and rela onships.

Experts say envy arises when we desire something that someone else possesses. It is a feeling of discontent or resentment triggered by another person’s success, possessions, or advantages. Unlike jealousy, which involves a fear of losing what we already have, envy focuses on what we lack. Envy can be both mo va ng (spurring us to improve) and destruc ve (leading to bitterness and hos lity).

Jealousy on the other hand emerges from a fear of losing something we value— whether it’s a rela onship, status, or possession. It o en occurs in in mate relaonships when we perceive a threat to our connec on with a partner. Jealousy can be some mes protec ve (aler ng us to poten al dangers) or possessive (leading to controlling behaviour).

Both envy and jealousy are in most parts, destruc ve. Envy can poison relaonships, erode self-esteem, and breed resentment while jealousy on the other hand can lead to suspicion, insecurity, and even violence. The two emo ons o en damage trust and create ri s between individuals.

Certainly, envy is the worse of the two emo ons and it is generally long-las ng. It shows in the behaviour, demeanor, and even the speech peculiari es of the afflicted person. Envy is a disease, an afflic on, and almost incurable, simply because an enviable person is inherently not contented with his state in life.

An envious person is not happy with his or her own face, not happy with his or her body structure; height, physique, and features like legs, lips, nose, mouth, forehead, breasts, and bu ocks, and may not even be happy with his home background. And because those who happen to be more blessed are always around, their mere sight is a tormen ng reminder of the envious person’s deficiencies.

Nigerian philosopher, song-writer and musician Chief Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi put it succinctly in his celebrated song ‘The man, his son and his donkey’ where he opines with an air of finality that success in one breeds envy and resentment in the other.

A brilliant person who tops his class in examina ons is automa cally the subject of envy to, especially the dullards in his class or the lazy ones who never apply themselves to serious studies. The same goes to

“Envious people are madly desirous of what others have, and because they don’t have what it takes to have that which they crazily crave, they turn their failure to anger, resentment or even cruelty and arrant unreasonableness”

TOLA ADENIYI PERSPECTIVE

By

Miserable Life Of Envious People

all professions; lazy lawyers who are incurably envious of their more successful colleagues and contemporaries and indolent civil servants who are forever miserable because others with proven produc vity have climbed the ladder faster.

A professor-friend’s wife, a medical doctor, affirmed several years ago that ‘it takes the special grace of God for someone to embrace the success of another person’! It may sound alarming but life experience has taught all successful individuals that their roaring successes have always been a source of sadness to most of their friends, colleagues, associates, and even rela ons who have not been as lucky or successful.

Someone [a university graduate, but

Lout of job] was taking me to Mississauga in Canada to inspect a franchise in 1996, halfway to our des na on, he stopped his car and parked by the roadside. “Egbon”, an endearing word for an elder, “I have a confession to make and I need your prayers,” he said. “Go ahead, what’s it?” I was curious. “I don’t know how to say it. Do you know I always feel sad whenever a friend’s achievement is brought to my no ce? I have never a ended any house-warming ceremony. It is that bad. If I visit a friend and his furniture is be er than mine, I will not go to that friend’s house again!” he said, looking morose with wickedness wri en all over his face. “But you are a religious leader in this country”, I didn’t know what exactly to tell him. He started the en-

gine again and his car hit the road.

The malady of envious people is due to their inability to appreciate the fact that human beings are wired differently and the Creator of the universe endows his/ her/its crea ons and creatures differently and appor ons luck, favour, and grace to individuals in varying degrees. Unquesonably so!

Aside that, a tude and character, major ingredients in the determinant agency of success or failure are a ributes that follow individuals in their path to success or ruin in life.

Envious people are madly desirous of what others have, and because they don’t have what it takes to have that which they crazily crave, they turn their failure to anger, resentment or even cruelty and arrant unreasonableness. And this leads them to bad-mouthing and character-assassina ng the object of their paranoia.“You can’t really blame envious people. People who are envied are the beneficiaries because being envied spurs people to be er themselves. Nobody envies failure. The more outstandingly successful you are, the more the envy and jealousy you incur”, a younger colleague and financial expert Tunji Asiwaju explained while discussing the subject of envy.

True Loyalty Defined

OYALTY is Key not only in Poli cs but in all forms of rela onship. Loyalty is not only indispensable but cannot be in percentages; it is needed always in total.

Loyalty is staying faithful and true to a par cular convic on, a set of convic ons or a person. However, even in marriage that fidelity is like a sanc fied pact between two or more partners, a set of convic on s ll applies. These ar cles of faith, commonly called principles, are therefore the foundaon of loyalty in all circumstances.

Allegiance, loyalty, can be to ins tuons, organisa ons and na ons. Swearing to the oath is a common ritual when individuals are being inducted into offices and to many ins tu ons. Ci zens do sing their organisa ons’ and na ons’ anthems and recite a pledge to it at important occasions. The underlying importance of loyalty is thereby established, from the family all the way to the na on; much else within polical organisa ons and par es! Even in dark fraterni es, loyalty is to IDEALS and PRINCIPLES JOINTLY AGREED TO – the LEADER or leaders only symbolise those ideals; and must not betray them! Not only Followers betray Leaders, Leaders many mes betray their followers by abandoning the founding principles of the organisa ons or poli cal par es!

Sadly, in contemporary mes, and especially in underdeveloped countries that offer li le else to their ci zens than trials and tribula ons, the core reasons for loyalty is o en thrashed away, at all levels – family, organisa ons, poli cal par es and country – as BLIND loyalty is demanded, o en in exchange for material compensa ons

and vani es; in the face of dire threat to anybody calling for faithfulness to agreed principles and processes.

The most powerful demonstra on of unques oning obedience, loyalty and faith is to Almighty God, Allah, as found in the story of Abraham, Ibrahim, in the holy books, with only some comparable instances in folklore, mythology and actual history. Even then, it was not blind faith when cri cally examined, it is rooted in the solid principle of belief by Abraham in the infallibility, omnipotence and goodness of God at all mes! Humans, purportedly created in the image and likeness of God, are not God and are hardly ever God-like. Therefore, any sensible human like yourself will candidly advise you not to show the same reverence and total submission you show to God to any human being, it is even believed ungodly.

How come then that majority of “Third World” leaders - family heads, heads of ins tu ons, especially “leaders” in polics and government - expect total and uncondi onal obedience and loyalty from key disciples, not minding how their own conducts are largely out-of-tune with agreed ethics and procedures that are the founding principles of the rela onship? Even a University Head of Department demanding sex from students in exchange for promised marks expects unques oning obedience from the student, else she be branded rude, disrespec ul and disloyal, with threat of dire consequences!? In this equa on, the masses, the poor, the followers, members, the subjects and the weak are usually the ones at the mercy of the elite, leaders, rulers, rich and the power-

ful. Blackmail and blacklis ng of genuine, principled and disciplined followers for demanding faithfulness to principles become the playing cards of the powers-that-be; as “leaders” that betray principles and processes turn truth on its head to make the faithful followers look like the actual betrayals.

For those who genuinely love the survival and prosperity of their organisa ons, poli cal par es and governments more than they love their pockets and personal interests, they have a clear responsibility to be correctly loyal, and it comes with sacrifices. Being correctly loyal is to constantly revisit and remind self of the founding convic ons, manifestoes, ideals and regulaons that bind all of you together in that union and demanding that EVERYONE stay true to them.

If and when leaders stay true to the ideals that unite the party, followers are duty bound to be faithful and obedient. If and when leaders betray the lo y ideals on which organisa ons and par es are founded, asking a few ques ons and requesting clarifica ons, with all due respect, can never be read by the leader, or other members, as disloyalty or betrayal; if it is read as such, and repeatedly so, it is simply me to move on: firstly to find like minds from within the organisa on in order to rescue its soul FROM THE DARK SIDE, failing which all those faithful to the founding ideals of the original union, organisa on or party have to forge ahead and recapture the spirit of those lo y ideal in a new union, organisa on or party. That is true loyalty; the le overs being nothing but sycophanc renegades.
