It is time to unseat Governor Sanwo-Olu



The gubernatorial election of March 11, 2023, in Lagos State, pits the leading opposition party, Labor Party, against the ruling All Progressive Congress {APC}. The gubernatorial candidate for the Labor Party is Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor. He is a thirty-nine-year-old American-educated architect. Unlike the APC candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, he is a native of Lagos State. He is the great grandson of a prominent indigenous Lagosian, S.B. Rhodes, a founding father of the Nigerian executive and judiciary. Youthful, educated, honorable and with a sense of mission and belief in his ability to change the course of history, he personifies the goals and objectives of the Labor Party. The goal of the Labor Party is to dislodge the corrupt, vicious oligarchy that have misruled Nigeria for so long, and made life unbearable for most Nigerians.



Rhodes-Vivour was a visible presence at the #EndSARS protest. The Labor Party movement is driven by the same impulse that engendered the #EndSARS protest. In that pertinent and laudable protest against the status quo, the youths - the flower and promise of Nigeria – spoke for the generality of Nigerians. Totally oblivious of tribal, religious, political and socio-economic divides, they stood united in their demanded for social justice, accountability and transparency in governance, and an end to every form of official brutality.



Rhodes-Vivour is spearheading the Labor Party democratic revolution in Lagos State that will dethrone the Lagos rendition of moribund and evil oligarchy, and break their amoral and cruel grip on the state. Unlike there anarchistic and bloody revolutions of zealots and fanatics, the Labor Party revolution is anchored on democratic tenets and within the confines of the law. It will inundate, overwhelm and dethrone the status quo in Lagos State. It will usher in a new, livable and functional Lagos, marked by the rule of law, equitable distribution of the state resources, accountability, transparency, respect for individual rights, end to police, and all forms of official, brutality, etc;



The shooting, killing and maiming of unarmed, peaceful, flag-waving, national anthem-singing, Nigerian youths on “Black Tuesday” at the Lekki Toll Gate Plaza left an indelible moral blemish on the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. That blood-spattered onslaught on innocent Nigerian youths for exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to peaceful protests was morally reprehensible, inexcusable and unpardonable. It was a crime against humanity. It is payback time for Sanwo-Olu for that slaughter of the youths at the Lekki Toll Gate. It is time to yank his blood-dripping hands off the helm of affairs of Lagos State. Therefore, it behooves Lagosians to vote him out on March 11, 2023.



The electoral contest on that day is between light {LP/Rhodes-Vivor} and darkness {APC/ Sanwo-Olu}. Lagosians must inevitably embrace the light and cast out darkness. And thus, break the stranglehold of the APC cabal on the state and bring an end to the corruption, cronyism, theft of public funds, extortion, glamorization of thuggery and political violence, and all the other excesses of the Sanwo-Olu administration.



Armed with our PVC, every inhabitant of Lagos State must join in this laudable crusade to unseat Sanwo-Olu. It is our moral, spiritual, civic, political and democratic obligation to troop out, en-masse, on March 11, 2023, and vote in Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor of the Labor Party, as the new governor of Lagos State.

The 8th Of March 2023 is globally celebrated as International Women's Day & It also happens to be the 40th Birthday Celebrations Of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour GRVThe Labour Party LP Governorship Aspirant.

Instead of celebration he spent part of the day campaigning and went to visit and empathise with the traders who were victims of the Ajegunle Spare Parts Market whose shops were burnt down as a result of the electoral tensions leading to the March 11 Gubernatorial Polls. After Inspecting & Talking To The Traders He donated N15m as part of his support towards cushioning the traders' pains and promised to rebuild the entire market when elected governor.

GRV as he is popularly known is a people's man. He has run an impressive campaign so far with a huge following that has enjoyed an even bigger boost with the recent victory of his principal Peter Obi of The Labour Party in Lagos against the ruling party APC. Many of these on and offline supporters include members of the Peter Obi or Obidient Movement, which are youths and hopefuls for a NEW NIGERIA.

A true Lagosian and scion of the reputable and popular Rhodes family of Lagos Island with a history dating up to 400 years. GRV describes himself as a Lagos boy, an Omo Eko proper and speaks of his Lagos Rhodes Vivour family pedigree and their stellar contributions to the development of Lagos –these include the foremost legal luminaries and judges from the 1800s such as Steven Bankole Rhodes, to his uncles, Yinka Rhodes The Bamofin Of Lagos, the Supreme Court Judge, Bode Rhodes Vivour, and his father, Barrister Olawale Rhodes Vivour who married his mum a Mrs Stella Rhodes-Vivour, and the famous late musician Elder Steve Rhodes.

The land upon which City Hall Lagos is built belongs to his family & his great parents estate owned the largest plantation in Lagos.

The Nottingham UK & MIT trained architect in his Manifesto laid out a plan to get Lagos working with his focus is on how to uplift Lagos, his beloved state of birth and lineage by resolving the perennial Lagos traffic problem through building four new rail lines in four years, whose multiplier effects would create jobs throughout our economy, resolving the massive unemployment and underemployment that is the ‘Area Boy' culture, provide housing and social services and more.

The 40-year-old celebrant is happily married to Dr Ify Rhodes-Vivour an Oxford & Harvard PhD trained molecular biologist and they have 2 boys. Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour, is an embodiment of the successful unity of Yoruba, Igbo and other Nigerians that propelled the Obidient political liberation movement, and on his birthday urged all to vote for the freedom, progress and harmony the city deserves, and for a new Lagos that would set the pace for a new Nigeria with his Eko e dide - Lagos Stand Up Slogan..”

When my big sister got married in 1980 and left the family home in Lagos for port Harcourt I missed her so much and she likewise. I didn't know she would come for me the next year after I had completed secondary school in Lagos. Being the last of 9 children She and her husband took over my education.

They had friends Mr and Mrs Enwo a young couple who were both teachers at the federal government college port Harcourt in the early 80s. I took the entrance and I got admitted to doing the A levels at this beautiful school from 1981-1983. Till date, it still holds the fondest memories for me. A lot fonder than university days.

My first time being in the boarding house. I was so excited. I had been a day student in my previous school and was too young to even understand secondary school. I had gone in too young. With the benefit of hindsight, my parents were just interested in getting it over and done with. I had done common entrance to Queen's college at 8. Too young to get in. Who would even take me? So by 9, any school would do.

Back to the golden memories of FGC PH... From age 15-17 every day was magical and full of drama. Okay, I entered boarding house as a senior in the lower six class so I had escaped some tail-cutting experience of my junior years. However, there were some upper six students who wanted to rub it in all the time that they were our " seniors" My friends and I ired and erred not a few.

Federal government colleges were one of the government's earliest and to date most successful attempts at uniting the country after the Nigerian civil war. The reason for the creation of the Federal Government Colleges, among others, was to guarantee national integration and national building among Nigerian children if given the opportunity at a very tender age to live, learn and play together in the ideal education environment. Most were established in the 1970s and 1980s. FGC PH was one such established in 1973.

So we all came from all over the country as captured in the first lines of the school anthem a classic and the best of all school anthems.
"Fegocol Portharcpurt our noble institution.
From all over our country we come with the spirit"

It continues with the most profound chorus " to national awareness we pledge our honour. To academic excellence we pledge our honour. To parental devotion we pledge our honour . To sports development we pledge our honour. So help us, God".

The school anthem captures our promise to our nation. Promise to hand over an unbeaten tradition of excellence.

50 years after the alumni of this great institution have ticked all the boxes of the ideal alumni. Relentlessly engaging, coordinating and executing activities that have impacted the school academically and structurally. Scholarships. Constructions of key facilities in the school. These excellent ladies and gentlemen have spared nothing in giving back. Spreading across the whole world these young children grew strong and have held sway in their various fields of endeavour. Distinguished persons in society still hold firmly in very endearing ways through their various chapters.


For me, this is 40 years after FGC PH and for my small class of barely 40 young children, we've had doctors lawyers professors and authors and so many professionals. It's always a delight to meet up whenever we can.

There's so much to write about the FGC PH experience. The Monday morning assemblies. The Fridays assemblies for detention. . ( Detention is another word for punishment or discipline of erring students) there were the regulars on that list. They somehow had nicknames too. How hilarious. The tuckshop that had the solutions to all our little cravings. The school exit tickets. Me a born Anglican was a Catholic in school. Reason being the Catholic church was in town. We get to go out every Sunday in the school bus. The Anglican service was in school. Who came up with that idea?

The bonding of young minds through shared experiences to lifelong friendships.

The fence jumping. The pranks played on house masters and house mistresses. There were the chief pranksters. The stress given to our dear principal the late M. C. Ebo. A very dear man and a great child Educator. He had a special place for each child and we loved him back. I don't remember the years he was principal of the school but I was there as a student when he presided over the school. I also remember upon his demise decades later the students showed up in his hometown to give their dear old principal a befitting burial.

The love junctions. The frenzy of the valentine's period. The famous declaration of the massacre in the school dining hall. ( Please note massacre had nothing to with real blood but a declaration of food grabbing and gulping made by the prefects for the few students who made it early to the dining hall). I hope I got that definition of FGC PH massacre. Just so much to remember. When you have a robust mix of brilliant teenagers from different parts of the country with raging hormones and curious minds you expect nothing less but a school bursting at the seams with excitement and enchantment.

The weekly Saturday inspection of the hostels. The frenzy to get all the houses clean and win. " Cleanest for the week" The school houses. Honour . Glory. Loyalty. Freedom Charity Peace and Faith.
I was health prefect for girls in my set but do remember I had a very able assistant and we still bond on that level till this day.



They were the teachers of the best quality when the education standard had teachers with PhD teaching young children in a Nigerian secondary school. Our Indian vice principal then and so many well-educated teachers who were dedicated to their profession. We got excellence and excellence has trailed our paths.

Incidentally, my sister's children who were not even born when I went to FGC PH all grew up and attended the school. My elder brother's sons too. The Nze Dikes and the Offias . They also all have fond memories. I guess it's always a mini-reunion at home.

As the school turns golden the memories are no doubt golden for not just me but for a whole generation of young people who passed through the school decades ago and the ones making memories today.
Long live Nigeria
Long live Federal Government College Port Harcourt.

Could this be Peter Obi?/

UK-based Nigerian pastor, Prophet David Babatunde Ephrata, the leader and founder of Bible Based Church, United Kingdom, has again issued a strong warning barely ahead of the coming elections in Nigeria. He stated that the candidate who emerged at the end of the elections will totally erase any cause involving the Yoruba nation or the Republic of Biafra.

Recall last Christmas, the fearless man of God issued a stern warning directly to those who are into farming of any form as he alerted them of the many dangerous challenges ahead in 2023.

While farmers are already confirming this in their recent distress call for protection against intruders, the prophet has again revealed another shocking revelation as received during the online service held on Sunday, January 15, 2023.

He stated during the service:

“I have a severe message to Nigerians about who will win the elections in 2023. Please pray very well in the year 2023 for the election to run free and fair without bloodshed.

“God revealed to me that the candidate that will win the election, will erase anything that has to do with self-determination or true federalism. He will also perish the idea of the Yoruba agenda or Igbo agenda.

“This is not the time to fight for Yoruba nation or Biafra or Arewa nation. “This is the time to pray.

“The image I saw in the revelation was more of a young white man, who took a duster and erase Biafra and Odua nation from a whiteboard.

“That is the clear vision that God showed me. Yoruba, Igbo, and Arewa nations will not be heard anymore. This coming government will no hesitate to eliminate any person or group of persons that advocate for self-determination.”


He implored Nigerians to keep faith and move closer to God to avoid an imminent crisis that may cause civil unrest in the country.

Prophet David Babatunde Ephrata’s missionary journey began when he was born many decades ago, he was born in Lagos but was moved to the southwestern part of Nigeria before he clocked one year old. His strong connection to depth scriptural and spiritual knowledge began to grow as he advanced into a teenager and as he acquires more academic knowledge.

Since 2006, when the prophetic message becomes clear, he has remained a consistent personality and respectable prophet who delivers divinely inspired prophecies and messages to the people.

His credentials as a prophetic man of God are staggering. His prophecies have been nothing short of sensational and on point. Where other men of God are waiting for a situation to gather momentum and take shape before they permutate and then release prophecies, Prophet Ephrata reveals those things that will happen long before they happen. Sometimes, he will foretell things a year or even more before they occur.

A case in point is the failure of Buhari’s administration. A few months into his first term in office, Prophet Babatunde warned Nigerians not to be over-excited at the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as president, that he is not the Messiah Nigerians were waiting for. Not only that, he said Nigerians should prepare for extreme hardship because the Buhari administration will bring upon us the worst economy ever witnessed in Nigeria. And that is exactly what is happening right now.

The British Council’s International School Award is a prestigious badge of honor for schools that bring an international dimension to teaching and learning. It is a global accreditation scheme that recognizes good practice in incorporating international dimensions in schools. The award comes with a new accreditation for the next three years by the council to Grace Schools, from September 2022 to August 2025
A pioneer in the educational sector in the country, Grace Schools was recognized for being able to compete in the global space, with the latest modern teaching facilities and modules that best fit the changes of the 21st century. The first recognition came in 2014, and the second in 2017.
This third award crowns the dedicated efforts of the school to mainstream global excellent practice as part of the culture exemplified in project-based activities created by the teachers. The award is also due to the school’s fulfilling the required international classroom partnership on each project, which allowed Grace Schools pupils to interact with their counterparts in classrooms in other parts of the world.
Mrs. Olatokunbo Edun, the Executive Director of Grace Schools, expressed her satisfaction and recorded that the award came on the platter of the hardwork of staff. She said after what has been a challenging two years for our staff, it’s incredibly rewarding to have their efforts recognized because the award is a testament to the commitment, resilience, and dedication they have shown throughout the pandemic, going above and beyond every day, I believe that winning this prestigious award for the third time, has further motivated our consistent promotion of international awareness and understanding as part of our curriculum, fostering an international ethos throughout our school and helping to embed it within the school's culture”.
She further stated that Grace Schools are synonymous with excellence, stressing that the British Council ISA further validates the focus of the school on creativity and qualitative learning experience for the students.
"We have a strong edge in superior service delivery and have never wavered from developing globally accepted learning approaches for the students. We also have a robust manpower development strategy which translates to excellence for the school”

We boast of an enabling and conducive environment, with world-class facilities for the intellectual, academic, spiritual, moral, and physical development of a child. We are poised to produce godly students who are the future leaders of our dear country, Nigeria.” She concluded.

These are good times for the music industry in Nigeria as the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has finally broken the over 40 years jinx of existing without its own property.

The PMAN executives led by the president, Mr. Pretty Okafor, have acquired a multi-million-naira Edifice
in Lekki, Lagos to be used as corporate office. This is part of the unions strategy for the ongoing biometric card registration drive being implemented in conjunction with Zenith Bank.

The PMAN president maintained that the decision to acquire a property in highbrow Lekki is borne out of good business sense. According to him, it is to reposition and rebrand the union as well as bridge the gap between PMAN and the new generation artistes.
We consider it necessary to have a business office that is accessible to the artistes community and corporate sector in Nigeria. We want to ensure that musicians are receiving proper remunerations for their creative works both home and abroad. Through the acquisition of this property, we are sending an important message to Nigerian musicians and the corporate sector that PMAN, the Nigerian music industry powerhouse, is back in business, he said. 
Okafor explained further that the National Working Committee (NWC) of PMAN deliberately chose Lekki for the new corporate office because it’s the new epicenter of the Nigerian entertainment industry.
“You know, our former rented office was located in Ikeja but we decided to acquire our own property in Lekki. Its a deliberately decision we made because Lekki is the new hub for the Nigerian music industry. It is the hotbed for the new wave Afrobeats culture. Lekki is where the Gen Zers of Nigerian entertainment reside, he noted.
Describing the newly acquired corporate office as a fully detached 5-bedroom duplex, the PMAN boss revealed that it is equipped with different ultra-modern facilities including digital music library, Radio station, conference rooms, and VIP lounge among others.
The new PMAN headquarters will have different ultra-modern components including the presidents office, digital music library, conference rooms, VIP lounge, membership registration booth provided by Zenith Bank, and other necessary offices, Okafor disclosed. 
Meanwhile, PMAN has vowed to enhance its presence in all the six geo-political regions of Nigeria, as the association would soon embark on data capturing of its over six million potential members across the country.
A date for the formal opening of the new PMAN headquarters will be announced via the associations official website.

Inclusion advocate, Uri Ngozichukwuka, Dissociates Self, EDWIIN From Political Party’s Umbrella Procession

National convener of the Empathy-Driven Women Initiative International (EDWIIN), Uri Ngozichukwuka has dissociated herself and her brand from the Umbrella procession held by a political following the road walk the party had on Thursday, November 17, 2022 to canvass support for the presidential candidate of the party.
Recall that EDWIIN had initiated the Umbrella walk to advocate for the rights and acceptance of PWDs with peculiar attention to persons living with Albinism, a cause that got little to no recognition of politicians but kind-hearted Nigerians
In a statement issued by EDWIIN on Friday, 18 November 2022, the convener stated that the use umbrella on that rally was not only insensitive, but also a deliberate mockery of vulnerable fraction of Nigerian citizen whose welfare are of little or no concern to the party or its members.
“Here is a party that had existed for over two decades and have not thought of the idea of a procession in over 20 years.
“EDWIIN, in partnership with well-meaning Nigerians and kind hearted stakeholders came together in June to initiate a walk, in solidarity with People with Albinism and the party did not identify with the project in anyway.
“It was United Nations Albinism Awareness Day on the 13th of June, 2022, and project was executed in partnership with Lagos state office of disabilities LASODA, Lagos Albinism Awareness society and Lagos Accueil an organisation made of French women living in Nigeria, as scores of participants storm out to execute the first umbrella procession.
“It will be recalled that EDWIIN donated 200 umbrellas and 14 SPF 50 sunscreens to persons living with Albinism. The party was nowhere in the picture”
The procession was to bring awareness to the plight of persons living with Albinism
“Our use of umbrella during this period was to pass a message of covering, of inclusion and of recognition that a few cross sections of our citizens have been born with peculiar imperfections that should be considered and acknowledged in the blueprint of our nation’s policy.
It is Insensitive and morally wrong. The said party are viewed as inclusion insensitive and most governors under the party are yet to sign the disabilities bill to law.
The ruling party, in all his imperfections and shortcomings, signed the disability bill since 2019, and 3 years down the line; even the labour party are inclusion sensitive.
“It is however shocking to find the same anti-PWD group, stealing the idea of the same group they have so undermined and relegated to the background, seizing the opportunity to stage a vain rally with a stolen idea and matched it to its blurry agenda.
“This is an assault and an affront to the collective integrity of the PWDs and their conveners, and we wholesomely dissociate our brand from the rally.
“We consider the unfortunate move by this party as disgraceful and most embarrassing, as we expect more from a 24-year-old political party who should be the symbol of integrity in Nigeria”.
“As EDWIIN, we do not support, endorse or campaign for any political candidate and implore the general public to disregard any gesture from any of the parties that suggest otherwise.
“However, we will continue to monitor closely, the political environment and advocate for political capital of persons living with disabilities”, she stated.

Mr. Fred N Inem .... your days of deceiving the public about who you really are over.

The pain of a mother losing all her 4 children to an audacious psychopath and physically abusive bully masquerading as a 'responsible husband' for the public is a pain that I can relate to, and hence will never stay silent over.

On the 26th of September, 2022 by exactly 11:15 AM, I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed on my previously disabled Facebook account when I saw the video of the woman you married in 2015.

Swollen eyes, bloodied eye whites, dishevelled hair; physiognomy almost transformed to that of a Chinese who narrowly survived bee stings.

Chinyere Christine , the lady whose family handed to you 7 years ago in perfect condition and sound mind.

I paused on the post.

The lady you married was crying plaintively for her children to be returned to her.

All 4 of them.

All under the age of 6 years.

Kids she had been denied access to by you whom she has made several reports on how you spend more time punching her face, flogging her and dousing her in hot water in your nightmarish marriage; than you do being affectionate or protecting her.

I was distraught and had to send her a DM asking for more details.

My message wasn't seen by her until 3 days later.

On the 29th of September, 2022.

She responded weakly-- with the characteristic indifference and resignation that comes from crying for help for so long and not being helped.

I dropped my phone number and she called me minutes later and narrated her story.

A truly sordid and heartbreaking tragedy of how a beautiful, promising 23 year old girl accepted the hand of an abusive, narcissistic 33 year old man in marriage in 2015, willingly took in for him even while in University, and eventually had to drop out of school to commit herself to her husband and birth him 4 healthy children.

And what does she get in return?

A manipulative, philandering woman beater who not only beats and dehumanizes her at the slightest provocation, but has committed her to a hospital bed one time too many.

Mr Fred.... you are aware that presently this woman you married suffers occasional seizures and numbness to a side of her face as a result of repeated blows from you and blunt force trauma against her skull.

To add pepper to injury, after the poor woman ran for dear life, you have restricted her access to her 4 children and have brought in another mistress whom you are conditioning your young, innocent children to believe is their mother.

Dear Mr Fred Nathangad Inem......

You were shamelessly spamming my WhatsApp with images of your new mistress playing 'mother' over kids whose biological mother is very much alive, right?

Calling my bluff that we should take the pictures to court, yeah?

The woman that risked her life 4 good times to make you a father has now become all those unprintable names you tagged her in my inbox, yeah?

On your Facebook you are a God fearing and responsible father whose principal achievement in life is taking Polaris bank to court.

But at home, you are a satanic, soulless bloodhound that crawls through the ceiling into his wife's room when she is pregnant to beat her because he feels he has all the police connections and leverage of superior male power to subdue her from seeking justice.

Are you aware that there have been reports from the mother of those kids that yourself or your mistress have already begun bleaching their skins?

I don't get it.

You eliminate a mother from the life of her kids and don't even allow her wish them a happy birthday when they clock an extra year, and then turn around to begin bleaching their skins as you visibly have been bleaching yours?

Your last child is 2 years and his young fragile skin is already absorbing skin lightening products.

I told you already, this will not be business as usual.

You aren't just fighting that timid, naive Abia state lady you have been slapping around as you please all these years.

In Africa, Nigeria and Lagos state, it is an abomination to replace a mother in the lives of her children while this mother is still alive.

The forces that will be working against you are far more than anything your mind will ever conceive.

I am a person that believes in justice and the supremacy of the law.

Physical assault and denying a mother her rightful place in the life of her children is a grave and punishable offence because you are jeopardizing the fundamental human rights of another human.

Chinyere's survival story will be published on all major blogs in this country and I will be posting them in series because the abuse she has survived spans years!

You said you sue blogs for a living.

Start assembling your legal machinery!

And keep laughing and spamming me on WhatsApp.

I love being underestimated.

I need you to underestimate me!

Special thanks for your contributions:

Pretty Okafor

I asked God when Africa will be free, but God said Africa will continue to serve its young ones.

---Stop speaking for Yoruba now, new Afenifere cautions Pa Fasoranti, Pa Adebanjo.

The Yoruba apex body under the umbrella of Concerned Yoruba Socio-Cultural/Political Likeminds (New Afenifere) has called on elder statesmen, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and Pa Reuben Fasoranti to stop the idea of imposing their preferred presidential candidates upon the group as a whole, as they, a more dynamic and youthful arm have decided to take their future into their hands as they prepare for 2023 general elections.
Recall that Pa Ayo Adebanjo and his colleague, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, are at loggerheads over who should be the group’s anointed candidate among the contestants in the race.
Speaking on Tuesday, 08 November 2022, the National Coordinator of The New Afenifere, Hon Comrade Ajibade Adeyeye has advised the elders to leave the younger members alone and allow them forge their own future, and chose who they feel will help them and the Yorubas achieve their aspirations and dreams under a new and fair Nigeria were each area and state will be treated equally and developed to its potential.
The group also stated that after far reaching consultations, the unanimous candidate for the majority of their members is the candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The National Coordinator stated that their decision was based on the sequence of achievements of Kwankwaso as a governor, minister and lawmaker, and the recently released blueprint of the party which shows a clear sense of direction and deliberate work plan.
Also speaking, the National Secretary, Omooba Adewale Adebare maintained that the leaders have no control of what happens in the 2023 election, noting that as far as they, the younger and more dynamic force of the Afenifere are concerned, the President must emerge from an electoral process that allows expression of interest, and full participation of politicians and voters.

He said, “As far as we are concerned, we have resolved to support the candidacy of Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and our decision is not influenced by religious or ethnic bigotry, nor by pecuniary considerations. We believe in potential efficiency than the regular affiliations that have done nothing to better the lives of Nigerians and the youths in particular.
“We believe in one Nigeria and, we are convinced that kwankwaso is good for a better Nigeria.
“In 1999-2007, of what particular benefit was Obasanjo to the Yoruba zone during his reign? Yet the north supported him in both elections

“That Afenifere as a whole should take the side of Pa Fasoranti and vote Bola Tinubu, or side with Pa Adebanjo and vote Peter Obi? You are dictating this to the younger and more dynamic members that have the right to choose who their candidates are? This will not be accepted in 2023. We have our minds made up and have decided to support and voluntarily work for the emergence of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso at the presidential poll come 2023.”, he said.

.... Says he’s not Saraki’s son

He also stated categorically that he was mistaken for the son of a two-term governor of Kwara state and president of the 8th senate, Dr Olubukola Saraki, and apologized accordingly.

Some prominent members of the apex Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Afenifere have dissociated themselves from a statement made by one of the acclaimed leaders of the organization, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, when he endorsed the candidacy of Peter Obi of the Labour Party, as his preferred choice in the forthcoming presidential election.



Recall that Chief Adebanjo, a renowned member of the group had insisted that he’ll prefer that presidency be shifted to the southeast as his personal opinion. A strong faction of the group have however advised Nigerians that Pa Adebanjo is entitled to his opinion, but his assertion does not represent the collective interest of Afenifere as a group.

The Yoruba apex body, under the umbrella of Concerned Yoruba Socio-Cultural/Political Likeminds (New Afenifere) in a statement issued on Thursday, September 29, 2022, maintained that Pa Adebanjo’s opinion does not represent the collective interest of the pro-federalist movement, while identifying with the candidacy of Engr, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the candidate of the New Nigeria People's Party.



In the statement signed by the National Coordinator, Hon. Comrade Ajibade Adeyeye and the National Secretary Omooba Adewale Adebare, the New Afenifere called on Nigerians to see beyond social media promotions and sponsorships and look beyond tribal and religious interest, to support a candidate with a credible history of unification and religious freedom.



“We know for a fact that Baba has turned Afenifere into his personal estate as Acting Leader. We are also certain that there was nowhere Afenifere, as we know it, met and took a decision to adopt Mr. Peter Obi as our collective candidate for the 2023 presidential election".



“It is our well considered position that Pa Adebanjo cannot appropriate Afenifere. Baba is just an individual who is free to support any politician of his choice. As an individual, he cannot equate himself with the socio-cultural and socio-political organization.



"The Yoruba have a unique socio-political orientation and disposition; they are republican, egalitarian, deliberative, liberal and democratic.



"Members of our group, all over the world owe a profound emotional attachment to their apex socio-cultural organization, the Afenifere, and as such our sacred identity should not be desecrated on the whims, caprices and immediacies of self-vested interests.



"On the other hand, no person has a right to wake up and issue a far-reaching statement on behalf of Afenifere without consultations or a form of consensus."



Nevertheless, we have consulted widely and hereby express our belief in Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s presidential project and implore Nigerians to look beyond ethnic and religious sentiments and rally around his candidacy.



While our faction has looked beyond ethnic interest, we have considered the strengths, weaknesses, and imperfections of all the candidates who are on the ballot and have resolved, after wide and impartial consultation, that Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is the round peg that can fit the round hole in 2023.



His records are evidently accessible, as a two-term governor, a federal lawmaker, and a former Defense Minister. His administration recorded little to no case of religious or ethnic attacks and he remains the only governor who has allotted a 28 percent budget for Education as recommended by the United Nations.



“We are confident that his template and blueprint span beyond a religious and ethnic agenda and his framework to deal with insecurity is clearly achievable. We are however in talks with his team to ensure that the interests of Yorubas are taken on board and balanced with the interests of all other Nigerians."



The group added that its choice of a northern candidate as a Yoruba group points to the long-standing pastime of the movement, which existed as Action Group for several decades, as an all-embracing institution that puts credence, character, and content beyond tribe, religious or factional interest.

Meet Fast Rising Afro Hip hop star, Countycity, Young Music Export Changing The Game In The Naija Music Scene

For people who pay close attention to up-and-coming hip-hop, it was obvious that young Afro Hip hop star, Onyebuchi Johnmary Obiadi popularly known as Countycity was going to pop. He initially surfaced in mid-2014 and started to get attention from the press in early 2015.
Countycity is the progenitor of County Music, an offshoot of Souljaskillz Records
Even after he released the hit single Chop Life in 2022 , Countycity’s buzz seemed nominal next to many of his peers as he suddenly rose from Turkey and flushed Naija upcoming artiste music scene; there is no doubt that County cityhas the potential to be the biggest star of them all, relasing over 13 tracks which are doing well on all streaming platforms
And then suddenly, towards the mid-year, Blings On Weddings’ started to make terrestrial radio waves. A broader hip-hop audience discovered this young dude and his distinctive personal flair. His single made a big splash upon release.
Countycity is a native of Anaocha LGA, Anambra state, Nigeria. His style of music ranges from Hip Hop, World , Afro , Pop , and Disco
According to the Turkey-based talent, leading musicians who have willingly offered to feature on his forthcoming body of work gives him the confidence that he’s doing something right. His drive further earned him a spot on “Citypeople’s next rated artists”.
He is bridging the gap between the average listener and his conventional audience. Most of his songs have positive reviews and feedback on the radios, charts and streams.
When asked about the lessons learnt so far as an upcoming artist, he said, “I have learnt from the top artist that the road may be rough but the end will justify the means. People like Olamide, and Wizkid didn’t make it big overnight. I have learnt to work hard and be patient”, he said.
He brought the peculiar brand to Nigeria after he figured how the street of Nigeria is filled with lots of talent but little means of brand exposure for them.
“I decided to relocate my music effort and expertise… and hope to storm Nigeria soon to contribute my own quotas basically”, he told newsmen. Countymusic is set to hit the studio with another fresh track from his stable. I’m a baller.

Asha Gangali, a Nigerian singer, rapper, and talent hunt coach, has affirmed to his compatriots, that the fame Afrobeats currently enjoys globally is at the expense of other genres such as Dancehall which has ‘fallen off’.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, Gangali, who will be a judge in the upcoming Naija Star Search Reality show, which is expected to focus mainly on Afrobeats, said that more efforts are needed to sustain the movement and implored Nigerians to see the talent show “as leverage to take Afrobeats to a greater height”.
“Everybody is shouting that Afrobeats getting Grammy recognitions but if you don’t manage it from home; if you don’t get a platform to continue to project the right vibes to the global audience, it’s going to wade off as Dancehall genre did,” he said.

We got there on the billboard at the expense of dancehall reggae. Do you think the reggae dancehall people are happy? We’ve dominated all their airwaves. Afrobeats has dominated but if you don’t manage it, we may lose the fame in the long run. That’s while we have to keep discovering new talents like we are seeing in this Naija Star Search,” he added.
He continued: “You will agree with me that our music has evolved over the years. We have fused so many genres from hip hop to R&B and reggae. We’ve always evolved. We took over hip hop just like we’ve taken over Amapiano. It has always been our thing. We took these foreign rhythms and beats and then interpreted them.”

In March this year, two years after Billboard discontinued its Reggae Digital Song Sales chart which ranked the top-downloaded Reggae songs, the magazine announced that it had joined forces with music festival and global Afrobeats brand Afro Nation to launch the first-ever US chart for Afrobeats Songs.

In November 2019, British disc jockey David Rodigan, had declared at a Dubwise media launch, that “Dancehall music has been replaced by Afrobeats” due to the overwhelming amount of Trap sounds being represented as Dancehall music.

Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, which was played out in front of a live audience and three judges, produced stars such as 2015 Grammy nominee Devin Di Dakta, Deep Jahi, Tanto Blacks, Specialist, Jah Bouks and featured other stars such as Rygin King, Kalado and Stylysh.
