  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.

It was a prestigious title befitting of a distinguished personality in the mould of MKO Abiola. That was the title of  the legendary Bashorun Oluyole who was the paramount chief of Ibadan in 1850. It was also the title of Bashorun Ogunmola who reigned between 1865 and 1867. It was therefore historic that exactly 120 years after the death of Ogunmola, MKO Abiola became the fourth person to be conferred with the prestigious title. It was indeed a befitting honour for someone who had amassed chieftaincy titles from almost every town in Nigeria. As of the time of his installation in 1987, MKO Abiola was reputed to have over 150 chieftaincy titles. He was the Bobajiro of Ode-Remo. He was the B...

  Richard Akinola  Popular Nigerian journalist and a lawyer, Mr Richard Akinola has written an open letter to Mr Bayo Onanuga, a veteran journalist and well known civil rights activist who is now the spokesperson for Bola Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council over Onanuga’s sudden departure from principles he once espoused.  Bayo Onanuga Onanuga who fought the military junta of the late General Sani Abacha to its knee was a formidable activist who put his life on the line but escaped death by the whisker when some military goons swooped on him on the so-called order from above to terrorize his family. In the letter, Mr Akinola expressed his dissatisfaction over Onanuga’s attempts to stifle the freedom of speech which Onanuga himself once fought for. Onanuga had written a letter to the NBC asking to sanction the Channel Tv over the handling of Mr Datti Ahmed’s interview with the station.  It’s so surprising that despite Mr Seun Okinbaloye’s handling of the interview wi...
