Pastor Afolabi Ghandi Laoye was on Friday officially installed by the kingmakers as the Soun of Ogbomosoland, STAR POTTER REPORTS

Ghandi a pastor and international businessman arrived Ogbomoso early in the morning in a private chopper which landed at Ogbomoso grammar school from where he moved to the palace.

He was at the palace this morning for official installation which was performed at Abata by the kingmakers led by the Areago High Chief Sobalaje Otolorin.

The kingmakers said they did not receive any court Injunction restraining them from installing Ghandi as Soun of Ogbomoso.

He is billed to commence the traditional rites soon.

The new Oba is proclaimed His Imperial Majesty Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III.

The position of Soun of Ogbomoso became vacant as a result of the demise of Oba Jimoh Oyewumi Soun Ajagungbe.

Recall the Oyo State Government had approved his nomination as the next Soun of Ogbomoso by Governor Seyi Makinde.

Oyo state High court in Ogbomoso on Thursday restrained the governor, the Attorney General of the State and the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters either by themselves, agents or officials from presenting any instrument of office in any form of ceremony or issuance of certificate of installation to Olaoye until the final determination of the mandatory injunction already filed before the court.

Some members of the family are opposing the approval, they argued that he was not part of the process right from the beginning and he shouldn’t be crowned against their wish but he Mogaji of Laoye family Prince Olaoye Amos Olawole (JP)
said Ghandi is a recognized son of the family and is entitled to the throne.

Some yet-to-be-identified armed robbers have carted away money and other valuables as they invaded three communities in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

According to reports, the robbers carried out the attack at around 3:00 am, on Tuesday, September 5, 2023.

The affected communities include Alaja, Seriki, and Ogogo on the new Ibadan/Oyo Expressway in the Akinyele Local Government Area of the state.


One of the community leaders, Raji Kazeem, who confirmed the incident, said, “The armed robbers came in the middle of the night and robbed some houses. That’s why you saw landlords and landladies discussing in different groups.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, is yet to confirm the incident as of the time of this report.

No fewer than four unidentified persons have been reportedly after a clash between the Lagos Task Force, tanker drivers, and touts at Mile 2.

According to an eyewitness, the incident occurred on Tuesday morning, September 5, 2023.

The eyewitness who identified himself as Richard Igbe, explained that there was a fight on top of the Mile 2-Oshodi bridge and the fighters barricaded the bridge blocking the access road.


He is unsure of the cause of the fight but claimed that four persons were dead from gunshots.

According to him, “Mile 2 is on fire, both the task force, tanker drivers, and touts are fighting seriously. I don’t know what caused the fight but I am just hiding at Fagbems Filling station at Mile 2 and watching.

“I am going to work but I am stranded as they barricade the whole of Mile 2 that nobody will pass”, he said.

A video sighted by our correspondent showed people running for their lives while tires were being burnt.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared his support for a partnership between the Federal Ministry of Health’s National Eye Health Programme and the Peek Vision Foundation to provide more than 5 million pairs of eyeglasses to Nigerians with sight impairments.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, on Friday, September 1, 2023.

According to him, President Tinubu declared his support for the initiative when he received the Founder and CEO of Peek Vision Foundation and Co-Founder of the Vision Catalyst Fund, Prof. Andrew Bastawrous, on a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


Ajuri said the President who made a pledge on behalf of the federal government during the visit, recounted how close to home his first intervention in eye health was, narrating how his late mother encouraged him to take up the challenge of providing vision care for the needy of society.

The President fondly recalled: “My first experience was with my mother of blessed memory. She was ill and she could not recognise me. When I intervened, she was treated and given a pair of glasses. The next question she asked me was: I have you, and you are able to do this for me. What about those other women and their children who may not have somebody like you to intervene for them?

“So I made a promise to her that I would pursue the mass provision of eye care vigorously and that I would provide free eye screenings and surgeries to people because of that question my mother asked me and because of her passion to see others healed.

“We eventually impacted the eye health of millions of people in Lagos, and you could see their joy over the immediate sight enhancements when they were given a pair of glasses.”

Highlighting the pressing need for improved eye health services in Nigeria, President Tinubu expressed concern about the more than 24 million Nigerians grappling with varying degrees of vision impairments.

“We must act now because sight and vision is critical to economic development and growth,” the President said, recalling his visionary “Jigi Bola” programme, which was initiated during his tenure as the Executive Governor of Lagos State in 2001 and provided free eye screenings and surgeries to Lagosians while setting a new precedent for proactive eye care initiatives in West Africa.

“I am in support of this initiative, and I will encourage the mobilisation of further commitment to see this through and to reach vulnerable people all across our country. Some parents may not pay attention to this, but I will, because I am touched,” the President concluded.

Expressing his commitment to the cause, Prof. Bastawrous said: “Good vision unlocks human potential. It improves earning, learning, and wellness for individuals, communities, and countries.


“When I was 12, I was told by my teachers that I was clumsy and lazy, but the results of an eye exam explained I had very poor vision. And when I put on a pair of glasses, I saw the leaves on a tree for the first time, and my life completely changed two weeks later, I was wearing my first pair of free eyeglasses and I saw stars clearly for the first time. My grades improved, and the trajectory of my life completely changed, all because of a very cheap intervention that was 700 years old. Had that not happened, I would not be standing in front of you today. I would not be a professor, and I would not be involved in the work I am doing because sight gives opportunity.

Professor Bastawrous noted that eye care is still chronically under-resourced in many countries, adding that the estimates in Nigeria show that 0.0002 percent of the health budget is spent on eye health.

He concluded: “The good news is that President Tinubu has an excellent team in the health sector, and some of them have demonstrated tremendous leadership in the sector. What we would like to offer is to bring our Peek Vision methodology and platform to Nigeria to help unlock resources from multiple sources. In the countries where we have worked, Peek in Botswana unlocked 10 million dollars for the school programme, and in Kenya, 17 million Euros. Through the Vision Catalyst Fund, we have secured a donation of 200 million pairs of glasses, and we would like a significant proportion of that to come to Nigeria.”

At the end of the event, the coordinating minister of health and social welfare, Prof. Mohammed Ali Pate was joined by the Coordinator of the National Eye Health Programme, Dr. Oteri Okolo, and the Director of Public Health, Dr. Chukuma Anyaike, he presented a National Policy Document on Eye Health to the President.

A social media influencer identified as Esther Raphael nüde video has stormed social media users.

The popular TikToker with almost half a million followers (493k+ and still counting) was captured using fingers on her private part.

According to reports, the video was leaked online by someone close to her.
