Kola Ola Olaniran .  What we have today is HausaFulani Republic masquerading as the Federal Republic of Nigeria where other regions are run like conquered colonies. Years ago, a self-acclaimed custodian of the Hausa Fulani hegemonic agenda stormed the Agodi Government House Ibadan uninvited. This unruly and not so composed Mohammadu Buhari was livid with anger as he unleashed his brazen effrontery to ask Governor Lam Adesina, “why are your people killing my people?” instead of, “why are Nigerians killing their fellow Nigerians? It took a well-composed Governor Adesina diplomatic wisdom to calm Buhari’s frayed nerves down over his crude way of addressing the clash between herdsmen and farmers in Oke Ogun area of Oyo State at that time.

  When Tani Adewumi arrived in the US with his parents who fled the excruciating conditions of their poorly-managed, Boko Haram-ravaged country, Nigeria, he had no inkling of a life-changing dramatic turnaround that would transform his family. Days after their arrival in the US, Tani’s parents, Kayode and Oluwatoyin Adewumi faced a precarious condition, if they knew where their next meal would come from, they did not know where they would lay their heads on. They were poor, they were homeless until the City of New York (NYC) provided them a homeless shelter where Tani’s journey to stardom began. Right there in the homeless shelter, Tani was enrolled in school where he kept the right company of friends who enjoyed playing the chess game. 8 year-old Tani later emerged winner of the New York State chess championship for his age group. Thereafter, his story went viral. “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men” says the scripture (Proverbs 18:16). Tani’s sto...
