The African property firm, Adron Homes and Homes has partnered with Remo Secondary School, Sagamu to host 2021 Ionic Festival in Ogun State.

The festival will be entertaining all secondary schools both public and primary in the state.

IONIAN brotherhood, coined from the names of the four schools that constituted it. They were Abeokuta Grammar School, Ijebu-Ode Grammar School, Ibadan Grammar School and Ondo Boys' High School. Apart from cooperation in the academic arena, they engaged in sports, vocational education, cultural cooperation, and made input into the educational policies and joint admission policies for members. They also ensured the maintenance of high standards in the schools.

The IONIAN'S social integration, as Adeyanju puts it, "was a thing nobody else had ever done until 1973 when the (Gen. Yakubu) Gowon administration established the National Youth Service Corps". Reverend Ransome-Kuti's influence grew with his involvement in the formation of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT).




In order to ensure adequate manpower training in Nigeria,a necessity which Kuti had realized since 1919, he stepped up the number of the arms of some classes in his school. The colonial education authorities kicked against it, because there were not enough qualified teachers, i.e., products of teacher training colleges.

According to the Group Managing Director of Adron Homes, Aare Adetola Olaniyi EmmanuelKing, " We are saddle with the responsibility of making peace between the parents, teachers and pupils in Ogun state and beyond through sporting, quiz competition and skills acquisition to support the administration of Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun mfr, the winners shall be rewarded with meaningful prices and we believe the festival will serve many purposes between the parent, teachers in the state." He said.

The Ionic Festival is slayed to commence by March 25th 2021 with lots of excitement for participants and viewers.

This year edition will be sponsored by the African giant property firm, Adron Homes to frostier unity among the secondary school pupils and teachers through sporting, debating and quiz competition in Ogun State where winners laugh home with their prices from the sponsor.

Former Vice President, Lt Gen. Oladipo Diya (rtd) has described Prof Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President of the country as a child of destiny and inspiration of a generation who has continued to use his remarkable career to impact innumerable lives positively through decades of exemplary servitude.

The former Vice President during the military regime of Late Gen Sanni Abacha said that Prof Osinbajo might have not been born great, but there is no doubt that the Vice President has achieved greatness in a most remarkable way.

He described the Professor of Law as highly brilliant, cerebral, sophisticated and humble who always leaves behind indelible mark everywhere he went.

Diya stated this in his felicitation message to the Vice President on the auspicious occasion of his 64 birthday on Monday, copy of which was made available to Nigerian NewsDirect.

The Odogbolu born retired military General said “Osinbajo, a quintessential Omoluabi, started as a lecturer at the University of Lagos at the tenger age of 23. He is a man with the Midas Touch. As a lecturer, he got to the summit by becoming a professor. As a Lawyer, he reached the peak by virtue of being a SAN.

“As a Statesman, he is currently the Vice President. He pastors a Church and had used his knowledge of law and governance, among others for humanity. I celebrate your passion for selfless leadership today and wish your strength is renewed to further serve humanity in the new year and years to come.”

Speaking on the state of the Nation, Diya said, “In the spirit of the Vice President’s birthday celebration, I wish to implore Nigerians to eschew violence in all its ramifications. The rumours of war always justifies armament. Armament itself heightens the possibility of war. As a result, we must learn from history. We must avoid a repeat of mistakes of the past. Peace is all we need.”

He explained further that “political elite must play by the rules and observe the thin line that separate politics from governance.Security matters should not be toyed with on the alter of politicking. Hate speech, fake news, as well as inciting ethnic-religious acts should be completely eradicated.

“Every Nigerian must play their roles to ensure that the President Muhammadu Buhari- led governemnt conquer, banditry, kidnapping, and other acts of violence, especially the farmer-herder conflict.”

Ogun Deputy Speaker, Popular Demand

Why Atinuke Bello Is Fit To Replace Kadiri As The Deputy Speaker, OGHA



There has been uproar on social media space shortly after the impeachment of Hon Oludare Kadiri as Deputy Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly.

It could be recalled that a five men committee was set up by the speaker, Hon Taiwo Oluomo to investigate the misconduct of embattled deputy speaker, Hon Dare Kadiri which found him guilty of the allegations levied against him by the Secretary to the state government, Mr Tokunbo Talabi on invasion of his private residence by suspected hoodlums whereby breaking the entrance door.

The committee report led to 19 members passing vote of no confidence on the leadership of Hon Dare Kadiri as the Deputy speaker, they quickly moved a motion of impeachment after adoption of committee report on gross incompetence as a principal officer of the assembly and the speaker pronounced him impeached today 4th of March 2021.

The social media has been in suspense over who to enter the shoes Hon Kadiri left behind, the choice of replacement according to social media users was subjected to Hon Atinuke Bello, Hon Sola Adams and Hon Fasua but the person with highest ranking among the trio is Hon Atinuke Bello being the Chief Whip of the assembly with outstanding performance in her constituency.





Atinuke Bello, according to Madam Silifat Shifawu, a beneficiary of her empowerment initiative to the widows, aged women and men described her as a woman of value with selfless services to the people. She also said Hon Atinuke Bello exemplary leadership acumen is incomparable to any of the past representative at the state assembly.

Another youth who was empowered with working material, sewing machine Miss Afolake Salisu said if by Gods grace Hon Atinuke Bello becomes the deputy speaker of Ogun State Assembly the constituent would benefit more from the government through his selfless services.

The National Association of Polytechnic Students, Nigeria NAPS has said the plan to impeach the Deputy Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon Oludare Kadiri popularly known as Maba after the alleged invasion of Secretary to the state government, SSG Tokunbo Talabi and former lawmaker Odugbesan's house last week undemocratic and deserves thorough investigation before drawing to conclusion.

Accorsing to the news flying on Whatsapp loops belonging to several political gladiators in Ogun indicated at least 20 members of the Ogun State House of Assembly have signed a motion of impeachment of the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Oludare Kadiri, popularly known as Maba in a special meeting by the lawmakers on Saturday.





According to some confirmed sources, the impeachment attempt is a move by the house of assembly members to punish Hon. Kadiri for an argument between the legislator and Secretary to the Ogun State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, in the late hours of Friday.

"Hon. Maba who is also the chairman of the House Committee on Transport has been a progressive voice in the 9th Assembly through his moves to revamp the transport sector of the state.
Investigations revealed that since the inauguration of the House Committee, Maba's moves has been stepping on the toes of old guards and greedy politicians who have been benefiting from sharp practices in the sector. Sources say that colleagues of the Deputy speaker have been waiting for an opportunity to get back at him." Ijaduoye said.

Meanwhile, Reactions have begun to trail the move from several quarters. One insider in the Ogun State legislative chambers said the move is nothing but vendetta against Maba.

In other news, the National President of National Association of Polytechnic Students, NAPS who hails from Ogun State, who was quizzed by our correspondent condemned the move asking why there was no fair hearing to allow him defend himself.

"The move to impeach Hon. Kadiri is not in the best interest of the people of Ogun State whom he's been defending and empowering. There is no justifiable reason to impeach Maba just because he voiced his grievances. We are keenly observing this show of shame by the legislators who are doing nothing but protecting their selfish interests. It is in the best interest of the lawmakers to employ common sense and not jeopardize the successes of this administration. " he added.

The NAPS president also advised the governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun to wade into the issue so as to avoid a political crisis in the State. Ijaduoye also called on Royal fathers and distinguished leaders in Ogun especially of Ijebu/Remo extraction to intervene in matter.

Other observers have vowed to resist the impeachment attempt so as to forestall that the Ogun State House of Assembly from undemocratic tendencies.

The Alake and Paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Dr Adetodun Aremu Gbadebo, Okukenu IV has confirmed his vision for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of Nigeria long time ago.













He said this during a visitation of “The South-West Agenda (SWAGA )” in readiness for the 2023 presidency in his palace, Ake Abeokuta today.

The SWAGA delegation was led by Sen Dayo Adeyeye chairman, Sen Akanbi the okanlomo of ibadan,Sen Gbenga Obadara,Hon Bosun Oladele, Hon Oyetunde Ojo, Hon Ifedayo Abegunde,Hon Rotimi Makinde, Hon Olaruntoba Oke, Hon kafilat Ogbara, Hon Kola Peregrino, Hon Ishiaq Akinlade, Hon Suraj Adekunbi, Former Speaker Ogun State,Rt Hon Suraj Adekanbi,Oba Oluwoye of Iwoye Oba Buhari Makinde,Hon Akeem Muniru, Hon Kayode Amusan, Senator Bode Mustapha among others.



























The final inauguration of the Ogun State chapter was said to come to place tomorrow Tuesday 23rd of February 2023 in the state capital Abeokuta.

As part of the build up for the launching of South West Agenda slated for February 23,2021 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, the voluntary group being led by the former minister of state for works, Senator Dayo Adeyeye paid a courtesy visit on the former governor of Ogun State Otunba Gbenga Daniel. In the team were Sen. Obadara,Sen Adesoji AKanbi,Sen Anthony Adeniyi and Hon Bosun OLadele. As you will recall, South west agenda for 2023 was first launched in the capital city of the region,Ibadan, Oyo state and subsequently in Osogbo,Osun state. In what looks like serious determination to ensure they succeed in making their principal to throw in his hat in the ring to vie for the presidency come 2023, Sen Adeyeye reemphazized the fact that they are a voluntary group working to ensure Yoruba as a kingdom work in unity to present a common and good candidate in other to stand a better chance. Hence, the team humbly recommends Asiwaju bola Ahmed Tinubu who is eminently qualified to lead the nation at this time.

"He said.

According to the former governor, Yoruba are not known for violence but rather they pursue their agenda in the most appropriate manner and that with this swagalistic idea,success is ours.He concluded.

Also in the team were Hon Rotimi Makinde,Hon Oyetunde Ojo,Hon Oloruntoba Oke,Mr Kola Peregrino,Mrs Kafilat Ogbara and Hon Ishiaq Akinlade,Otunba Yomi Ogunusi,Hon Ifedayo Abegunde,Hon Jide Akinloye,Hon Odubote,Rt Hon Suraj Adekunbi,Hon Julius Olaro and others

It has taken me quite a while to come to terms with the necessity or otherwise of this write up. I have done plenty moments of soul-searching and introspection and I have found it difficult to continue to keep mute when people who are either stupidly or sincerely ignorant of where we found ourselves are vomiting rubbish and have continue to see themselves or been brainwashed as the loyal followers of our late Boss, Senator Buruji Kashamu.
While I found it extremely difficult and indeed impossible to betray friendship and confidence because It has never been in my character, at my age, pedigree and with my moral rectitude, I cannot but remain on the side of the truth.

As far as some of us are concerned, it is simply wise and instructive for us to come to terms with the reality of the fact that Senator Buruji Kashamu has left us eternally after trying his own very best in this world of vanity and we need to move on, get rid of the self-destruct mode we have been in even before his death, and drop this needless bickering that leads no one to anywhere.

Before I move on, let me state catigorically that if a club is created today, and is cristalized as Kashamite club, I would love to be a live member because of the visible privileged relationship I had with the late Senator while alive.
Secondly, let me also put it on record that I Raphael Olaosebikan won't stand anywhere or join hands with anybody to destroy the legacy or personal properties of late Senator Buruji Kashamu.
However, knowledgable people will agree with me that the People's Democratic Party was never one of the personal properties that our late Boss left behind that should by right, be inherited by people professing to be Buruji Kashamu's family members or close allies of which I was one.

Perhaps, at this juncture, it will suffice for the purpose of straightening the records to take us a bit back in time, to exhume some facts that have been buried for the benefit of those who do not know where and how the crisis all began and to shame history manipulators whose stock in trade has always been twisting facts and figures to glorify themselves and distort everything.

Remembering some of the words of Martin Luther Kings Jr.,
"Cowerdice asks the question- is it safe?
Expediency asks the question- is it politic?
Vanity asks the question- is it popular?
But conscience asks the question- is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but because it is right.
We must therefore never forget to have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the major keys to living your life with integrity". This is the exert position we, the progressive have found ourselves.

*History, especially when kept and told by scrupulous or honorable minds, helps to lighten dark allies, shame liars, and vindicate the just.* The words in bold ink lead us to accounting for how the whole problems started.

Our woes stemmed from the day Barrister Oluyede gave an unprofessional advice that our state chairman shouldn't honor the invitation sent by the Ogun state commissioner of police to ascertain who should be the rightful occupant of the PDP State party secretariat. This singular unprofessional advice made the commissioner of police to conclude that we in Buruji camp were truly the dissident group as stated by the National body of our party, who were the petitioner.

Our woes were further compounded by the meeting which was convened and held on the 15th of November, at BEST WESTERN Hotel, which according to Leke Shittu was called at the instance of *Barrister Oluyede, Barrister Shote and Aare Remi Bakare* where seven Working Committee members, namely, the state Chairman, the state Deputy Chairman, the three Senatorial Chairmen, the state auditor and the state Women leader were illegally suspended under a very flimsy reason of anti party activities. And these are the people professing to be at the vanguard of protecting Buruji's legacy. One wonders what could be more legacy in PDP than the Exco Buruji constituted which they threw spanners into.

Since injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and since we considered it as an injury to one is injury to all, Twenty five of the forty seven executive members approached the Court for the purpose of a reversal of the illegality. However, what we later saw was that Barrister Oluyede who was, as of then, our Party Lawyer that was supposed to adjudicate even if there is any difference among us, choose to also stand as Counsel to the dissident group. It was the highest height of betrayal and breech of confidence. At that juncture, any sane mind should of course ask the question what the few click headed by Barrister Oluyede stands to gain in the fueling of the crisis, and setting the exco members against each other.
The answer was not far fetched.

As if that renegading act of Barrister Oluyede was not enough, I heard from a very reliable source, that he demand for the sum of $5.5m from Adebutu's Family, stating that $3m would be for legal settlements and refunds, $1.5m would be severance for the exco members that would relinquish their positions, while $1m dollars would be used to settle other leaders in Buruji's camp.
All these were done without any moral recourse to the party that hired his services in the first place.
The questions begging for answers are:
1) what legal refunds or settlement is he demanding for?
2) who are the exco members he is seeking severance for? The same exco he is subtly and illegally removing and substituting with ghost names? Were they the people that assigned him to negotiate on their behalf?
3) who are those other leaders in Buruji camp? Leaders that he has never met before?
This act is disgraceful and insulting. It is a clear case of someone trying to be more catholic than the pope and it shows clearly the set of people wanting to trade off Buruji structure.

For us who could be described as the progressive members of the Buruji wing of the PDP, after deliberating on all the aforementioned activities of Barrister Oluyede, we were left with no other option than to debrief him.
We have decided to move on with our political life and dreams which are not worthy of being jettisoned or buried without any attempt at forging ahead. For us, everything in life has its expiry date. Ogun PDP crisis started as far back as 2011. Ten years after it has to stop. We say enough of anybody or group of people standing as clog in the wheel of PDP progress in Ogun state. We must stop behaving like a bunch of bickering kids. We should allow our collective passion and dreams of seeing a better Ogun state to rule over our individual dreams. We must join hands with the rest groups within the party to rebuild and chart a new course for our great party.

For us, it is unfortunate that for many years, while we bicker among ourselves, we have remained in a political darkroom and indeed abyss to the extent that we have almost lost relevance in the scheme of things where politics and leadership are concerned.
If we continue with this seemingly unending in-fighting, we will lose our teeth and nails in the political scheme of things before 2023. We must come together to reassure our people that the PDP is only down but its not out.

It is also instructive to remind ourselves that ours is a party that was once the best at giving our teeming youths hopes and beliefs that they have a great future ahead of them. It is on record and it is incontrovertible that between 2003 and 2011, the PDP government in the state generated and provided more jobs for our young ones across the state than any other government thus far since 1999. That feat counts for something and we must not let go of that brilliant political ideology that we were known for. Our youths must be given the opportunity to actualize their dreams and aspiration once again.

The People's Democratic Party is a political party and not a bunch of rabble-rousers who are on a hunting expedition only for them to disperse to their various homes once they share their spoils or games. We must begin to listen to the voices of everyone. It's time to stop the heart-numbing haemorrhagic fever that has since gripped the body and soul of our once great party. Only committed, loyal, faithful, and dedicated membership who breathe the Party will believe in stopping this bleeding now. The reconstruction starts today.

Dear progressive members, permit me to assure those who think they can continue to use legal manipulation or evil machinations to throw spanners into our work so that the PDP will not rise again in Ogun state, I send a 'GET-WELL-SOON' best wishes to them and their ilks.

For the political ignoramus who are being brainwashed by the petty sentiments of loyalty to our late Boss, let me remind you of the words of Chuba Okadigbo that "if you're emotionally attached to tribe, religion or political leaning to the point that truth and justice becomes secondary consideration, your education is useless. Your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments, you are a liability to mankind". Above all, I pray for your deliverance.

My write up will be inconclusive without thanking the prophet of this noble mission and agenda, Prince Segun Seriki(PSS).
You came as a Messiah to the rescue of this party PDP when it has started another round of bleeding that could have lead to it's final death in Ogun State.
You came to the rescue when certain people who have never been anything politically and never aspiring for anything order than to continue to use legal manipulations to hold the party to ransome until they get somebody to sell the cacas of the party to.
History will never forget you for this singular act.
As you lead us to the negotiation table in ensuring that Buruji group doesn't go into extinction, may all your legacies never be eroded.
Thanks so much sir.

Finally my people, it is with extreme joy, with gratitude to Almighty God that I congratulate all of us for the landslide achievement of 30 progressives already on our side as against 17 dissidents left.
We are in for a just cause and I can see a very bright light at the very end of this tunnel.

God bless us all.

_Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji'un..._

Nigerians, and in particular the people of Ago-Iwoye, woke up this morning to hear of the passing onto glory of our father, leader, a role model and an iconic figure whose entire life was dedicated to building the generation next. Asiwaju Jubril Martins Kuye has left a huge void in our political firmament. Our consolation is in the fact that Otunba Fesojoye of Ijebu Land was fond of saying, "there is no success until you have a successor" and indeed he has many enviable successors in all areas of life.

Chief Martins Kuye is a foremost humanist, an astute public administrator, an iconic politician, political leader, a successful entrepreneur, a traditional leader and a builder per excellence. He gave his all in the field of politics. He was a founding father of our great party, the People's Democratic Party. He was at one time or another a member of the defunct Social Democratic Party, SDP and the UNCP. As a Senator in the third Republic, he distinguished himself exceedingly.

As a Federal Minister, he was the man Allah used to take me to Abuja when I served as his Personal Assistant. His mastery of his official responsibilities and delivery of his services cannot be underestimated. He was an outstanding Economist having attended the Harvard University Business School in 1983. His learning experiences were felt in the way he conducted his official duties as a two-time Federal Minister; a feat yet to be matched by any one from our Senatorial district.

We shall continue to console ourselves with the fact that you have lived a fulfilled life as many of us, your mentees, are doing well in public service, their chosen careers and other positions we occupy today. We shall miss your calm disposition, astuteness, candor, brilliant and intelligent contributions to issues.

I, Rt. Hon. Adekoya Adesegun Abdel-Majid, The Aremo Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye, on behalf of my immediate family members, and the entire good people of Ijebu North/Ijebu East/Ogun Waterside federal Constituency join thousands of Nigerians to wish you easy, unhindered and seamless passage to heaven while we wish the Jubril Martins Kuye Dynasty the fortitude to bear the loss.

We shall all miss you, JMK.

Rest in peace the Asiwaju of Ago-Iwoye Kingdom.

Men like Kuye are rare. Very intelligent, highly read, easy to talk to, firm at the negotiating table, deep connect across the spectrum of the social class.

He had a way of making everyone feel special. Incredible soul who could quote Shakespeare within an extempore speech, highly observant, a leader of leaders. Ogun, nay Nigeria, lost an inspirational leader.

It hits you when you look around, especially in Ogun, to try to find leaders that can be held up as role models in the political class. You are bound to feel some sadness, not because immortality has been promised anyone, old or young, but because you get a sense of irreplaceability that leaders like Sen Jubril Martins-Kuye are indeed hard to find in the present time.

May his soul rest in peace. May his family and loved ones be comforted. For everything, there is a season. Fare thee well, JMK.

MY VICTORY AT THE ONLINE VOTE AS BEST REPRESENTATIVE FROM OGUN STATE IS A TESTAMENT - RT. HON ABDEL-MAJED ADEKOYA





....I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL

In all of my political life, I have enjoyed Allah's favour and grace abundantly so much so that I have always found people's acceptance and credibility painlessly. I am a project of fate and uncommon divine benevolence. Indeed, people have always given me their warm embrace without much ado.

Flowing from my connection with my maker and baker therefore, I decided to make my public leadership one of service, projects, programme and dedication to humanity. I have dedicated my life and resources to changing my community, federal Constituency and state by allowing their love and concern top my priorities.

It came as no surprise then when I was voted as the Best Representative from Ogun state among my other colleagues who themselves are Victors because we are all in one way or another playing our parliamentary functions and responsibilities with unprecedented energy, belief and capacity. It is just that in every contest, there must be someone clipping the trophy.

It is therefore my wish to come back to the people who voted for me to make me the BEST REPRESENTATIVE in the online polls organised by AMEBO ONLINE NEWS HUB to say a huge thank you for believing in me, accepting me and empowering me with their mandate/votes. One can never be better appreciated and celebrated than what I have enjoyed from the massive votes I received without leaving the comfort of my residence in Ago-Iwoye while it lasted. I have been honored and challenged in turn. The challenge therefore is for me to never relent or look back but to continue to forge ahead in championing the struggle for a better Ogun State and in particular my Federal Constituency.

Once again, my gratitude goes to the organizers, the voters and above all my wonderful colleagues all of whom I dedicate the victory to for representing their various Federal Constituencies in a fabulous and enviable manner.

God bless you all for spending your time, emotions and above all money (data) on us without counting loss or cost
