  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...

Bola Tinubu’s Road To Perdition: by Kola Ola Olaniran

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. Can Bola Tinubu, a self-acclaimed asiwaju of Yoruba$land invoke the same audacity to ask Mohammadu Buhari, “Are we running a Banana Republic, “why are all key federal appointments given to only your people?” “What is this rubbish going on especially w...

  As the new year commences, every human being had wished himself a happy year, so also is Honourable Mudashiru Obasa.  With the unfolding development at the Lagos State House of Assembly. However, one is not too sure that the supplication of Mudasiru Obasa in this regard had been answered. Up till the 12th of January, 2025, barely two weeks into the year, Mudasiru Obasa was the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. By the next day, however, 13th January 2025, he had suddenly become one-time Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. This was consequent upon his removal in what seemed to be a coup. This event is certainly not new to the Lagos State House of Assembly as at a point in time, we had witnessed the removal of also a sitting Speaker in the names of Hon. Jokotola Pelumi. As at the time of his removal, nothing concrete in my view was the allegation. As a member of the cabinet then, I can unequivocally state that not so much fund was accessible to the House u...
