TODAY - 19TH JANUARY 2026.

Barely 2 months into acquiring the AIRTEL ODU ZLT X17U, all working well and smooth until some devices stopped connecting to the Router 2.4Ghz Wifi.

I cannot connect to the 2.4Ghz wifi. Some recent devices connects to the 5Ghz wifi fine. I tried different troubleshooting, including re-setting, factory rebooting, but no luck.

I cannot connect to the the 2.4ghz network. Everything was fine about two months ago. Nothing have changed in the routers at home, work or friend house.

What I observed is that old devices will not connect. All latest devices that has the 5G band works perfectly.

If you're having the same issue, please let me know.

Thanks

This issue is a thing of the past now.
As I speak right now, I'm now in the mix of choosing the best ISP because we now have a number of them.
How time flies.

Tell me, is the business still functional?

Y'all posting solution has not solved the issue yet because I'm using GLO to browse and none of your websites was reachable.
Shame.

Tag me if you find a lasting solution and I might gift you something interesting.

Cheers

The Transition Chairman of Imeko-Afon Local Government, Chief Olusola Oke has called on indigenes of the Local Government living in the cities and outside Nigeria to come back home and contribute to the development of the Local Government.

The Council Boss made this known to Community Leaders who paid a courtesy visit to the new Transition Committee on Tuesday. Oke appreciated the representatives of Imeko-Afon Area Community Development Association for their selfless effort in developing their communities. He acknowledged that Community Development Associations are pivotal to development at the grassroot and have remained a significant partner in progress with the Government.

While responding to the requests made by the Community Leaders, the Chairman assured them of a mutual relationship with the Local Government. He further stressed the need for partnership with influential indigenes of the Local Government in diaspora. In his words, "we have quite a reasonable number of our illustrious sons and daughters in the city and outside the country who can contribute to the development of our communities. Let us reach out to them for partnership" he said.

The Chairman said he will call for a Summit soon where all stakeholders of the Local Government will have the opportunity to add value to their fatherland.

Present at the meeting are the other members of the Transition Committee, the Head of Local Government Administration and Head of Department, Community Development.

TUPOCRACY IN FINANCIAL MATTERS
Apart from nepotism, ethnic, party and religious chauvinism, sexual matters, and politically related crimes, corruption among leaders is often measured in terms of financial impropriety. The Tupocrat will however be different and exemplary by making sure there is integrity in all financial transactions based on transparency and accountability. The Bible warns leaders to flee from financial crimes:

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
(I Timothy 6: 6 – 11 NKJV).

Leaders should avoid being covetous and greedy, especially when it has to do with public funds or using their political influence to deprive other people of their legitimate possessions as King Ahab did to Naboth (I Kings 21). For killing Naboth through jungle justice in order to have his vineyard, God severely punished Ahab, his wife Jezebel and their descendants. The same spirit of covetousness led Judas Iscariot to betray his master the Lord Jesus Christ to be crucified for only thirty pieces of silver at the end of which he committed suicide and the money was used in buying a cemetery (Akeldema, field of blood Acts 1: 16 – 20).

"Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry." (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.) "For it is written in the Book of Psalms: 'Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it'; and, 'Let another take his office (Acts 1:16-20 NKJV).

To covet means to long to possess something belonging to another person. Covetousness is the root of fraud, embezzlement, armed robbery, stealing, kidnapping, simony, all forms of inordinate ambition and unethical conducts in the church and civil society. The way out of financial crimes and impropriety has been addressed in the 16th chapter of my book Tupocracy: Leadership by example for the church and civil society

TUPOCRACY IN PATRIOTISM
Patriotism is love and devotion to one’s country. It comes from the Greek word, “patris,” meaning fatherland. In Nigeria, for instance, the wordings of the former and current National Anthems as well as the National pledge were meant to elicit and encourage patriotism. Sadly, this has not yet been realized as several citizens are still apathetic towards issues that can enhance national dignity. That is why some people do not respect the National Flag and the National Anthem. Another indication of lack of patriotism are vandalism of public utilities and other criminal activities against the nation and fellow citizens. One major cause of lack of patriotism is bad government which often comprises unpatriotic people. This calls for Tupocrats who will showcase patriotism in all they do. Unpatriotic leaders are selfish people who see office as an open sesame to wealth.

David’s paradigm of Patriotism
The Bible talks about King David as one who loved God and the nation of Israel and under whose reign the nation reached the apogee of the development in all positive aspects. He is credited with faithful and sincere service to his generation according to the Bible, “For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption” (Acts 13:36 NKJV). Serving by the will of God means that he was just, God fearing, transparent and fair to all people which pleased God.

Nehemiah’s paradigm
And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their Jewish brethren. For there were those who said, "We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain, that we may eat and live." There were also some who said, "We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine." There were also those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our lands and vineyards. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards." And I became very angry when I heard their outcry and these words. After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them,"Each of you is exacting usury from his brother." So I called a great assembly against them. And I said to them, "According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?" Then they were silenced and found nothing to say. Then I said, "What you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? I also, with my brethren and my servants, am lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury! Restore now to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also a hundredth of the money and the grain, the new wine and the oil, that you have charged them." So they said, "We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say." Then I called the priests, and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise. Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, "So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" and praised the Lord. Then the people did according to this promise. Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor's provisions. But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and took from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes, even their servants bore rule over the people, but I did not do so, because of the fear of God. Indeed, I also continued the work on this wall, and we did not buy any land. All my servants were gathered there for the work. And at my table were one hundred and fifty Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from the nations around us. Now that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowls were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in spite of this I did not demand the governor's provisions, because the bondage was heavy on this people. Remember me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people (Nehemiah 5:1- 19 NKJV).

As quoted above, Nehemiah’s paradigm of patriotism is unparalled, very glaring and worthy of emulation in the Book named after him. The sorry sight of the broken wall of Jerusalem touched his heart and moved him into the action of rebuilding it. He could not condone the oppressive attitude of his greedy kinsmen who exacted usury on the monies which they lent to the underprivileged ones. He showed example in lending to them without interest. He deliberately forfeited his financial and material privileges as Governor which his avaricious predecessors were enjoying. Can our leaders do this? Cansd they cut down on their jumbo pay as Presidents, Governors, Legislators, or Church leaders?

At present Israel and the United States of America seem to have so much to teach the rest of the world the meaning of true patriotism. Someone has observed that, “American patriotism is not uncritical or blind. We find a lot to criticize, and today we are deeply dissatisfied with the performance of many key institutions and leaders. But those views don’t diminish our patriotism. Americans love their country and they aren’t afraid to say so. American patriotism is steadfast in part because they have the best system of government in the world. They would rather live in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world, and they still believe the fundamental structure of our democratic system is sound. Americans are very proud of their country because of the foundation laid by their leaders like Lincoln, Jefferson, Kennedy and Luther King. Leaders, in fact, ought to be mentors of patriotism.”

The lesson is clear. A sound system of government will encourage patriotism. Patriotism does not mean absence of criticism but patriotism is the positive criticism in the best interests of the nation. A country should make her citizens to be proud of her through Tupocracy.

Tupocracy ensures transparency, integrity and moral rectitude in governance/leadership. Governance or leadership should not be an all comer’s affair. It should be for people whose lifestyles are worthy of emulation whether they are Presidents, Governors, Legislators, Judicial Officers, Ministers, Commissioners or Chairmen of Local Government Areas, Councilors, Mayors, Police Officers, Military or Paramilitary Officers, traditional Rulers, Heads of Schools, Managers of Industries or Religious Leaders. Tupocracy earns leaders high reputation and respect because followers have nothing against them. It will be a huge disappointment that those we address as “His Excellency”, “His Honour”, Distinguished”, “Honourable”, etc, go to jail for corrupt practices or they hide behind impunity privilege to commit heinous and atrocious crimes.



Furthermore, Tupocracy ensures equality before the law because those in governance will show example in obedience to the laws of the land. So far, although leadership by example has been a household word, its impact has not been felt like Democracy and others. With this invention, Tupocracy will become the vehicle to popularize the maxim. Thus, Tupocratic institutions will be built alongside Democratic institutions and Politicians may say in their manifestoes that they will lead tupocratically because they are Tupocrats. Wrong styles of leadership will be branded as untupocratic. One can imagine the level of sanity, peace, prosperity, security, progress and stability that will be experienced under Tupocratic governments as there will be sanity in the electoral system, awards and executions of contracts, the independence of the Judiciary, being free from manipulation by the Executive and the Legistrature, etc.



Admittedly, the fight against corruption in any nation can never be won unless their leaders lead by example in all matters, namely: financial matters, award of contracts, electoral matters, patriotism and the Rule of Law. Based on transparency, Tupocracy will checkmate greed, nepotism, personal aggrandizement, ethnic chauvinism, embezzlement of public funds and injustice in the process of governance. Tupocracy will bring about the practice of the Golden Rule, “Do to others what you would want other people to do to you.” Tupocrats are leaders who justify the saying that leaders should be above board. The bane of any society is the preponderance of unscrupulous and unconscionable leaders who have thrown moral values to the winds in their leadership styles.



Hopefully, Tupocracy will take its seat with other systems of governments like Democracy, Autocracy, Oligarchy, Aristocracy, Bureaucracy, etc. Tupocracy is a wake-up call as well as a moral guide for all leaders, whether in Religion or civil society, who need the respect, loyalty, welfare and co-operation of their followers. There is a popular saying that when we take care of our character, our reputation will take care of itself. Leaders should know that they are Mentors who should mentor followers by positive example in all walks of life. Unfortunately, in most nations one bad leader will hand over to another bad leader to sustain the vicious circle of bad leadership and its attendant unpleasant consequences.



Biblical examples of Tupocrats and what they said.

1. Abraham: When there was to be a conflict between Abraham and his nephew and mentee, Lot, Abraham as a man of peace said, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left." (Gen 13:7-9)

This is an example of making concessions to avoid conflict.

2. Joseph: Joseph was not vindictive to punish or kill his brothers who maltreated him but he forgave them and provided a safe place for them in Egypt: “Joseph said to them, Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.” (Gen 13:7-9)



This is an example of non-vindictiveness and forgiveness by leaders.



3. Samuel: As a judge and prophet in Israel, Samuel was just and transparent in all things and so he said in his valedictory speech, “ Now Samuel said to all Israel: "Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you. And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and gray headed, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. Here I am. Witness against me before the Lord and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you." And they said, "You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man's hand." Then he said to them, "The Lord is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand."( 1 Sam 12:1-5).



Can the contemporary leader be bold to address his citizens and staff like this, including Asset declaration?



4. Jesus Christ: The Lord Jesus Christ was exemplary in love, compassion, humility, obedience to God and the laws of the land, righteousness, forgiveness, mercy, goodness and in all good works. He said, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. (John 13:12-17):



This is an example of love, humility and service to humanity which He urged His disciples to emulate.



The Lord also said this about loving one another as he loved them, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:34-35).



5. Paul: St. Paul taught in many passages of the Bible that people should emulate him, “For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Therefore I urge you, imitate me.”



(I Cor. 4:15-16) He said again, “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. (1 Cor. 11:1)



6. Peter: St. Peter showed positive example as a pastoral leader and urged other leaders to do same and not lead as Dictators, “Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.” (1 Pet. 5:2-3).



Contemporary emphasis on Tupocracy



T. C. Oden in his book Classical Pastoral Care (2000:174) opined that the character and moral formation of those who provide spiritual care must be sound enough to elicit confidence in the care of receivers, that one cannot correct something in another when in oneself it has remained uncorrected.



Again, he says, quoting Baxter, that people should take heed to themselves, lest their example contradict their doctrine, lest they unsay with their lives what they say with their tongues. They should do as they say.



In the same vein, Hurst (1955:38) in his book And He gave Teachers, quoted Emerson, “What you are thunders so loud I cannot hear what you say.”



Most of those who talk about leadership by example in the contemporary period are of the opinion that “the preceptor must keep the precept.” This is the maxim of Tupocracy, whether in the religious or civil society. In Tupocracy, the Character Ethic Paradigm supercedes the Personality Ethic Paradigm of leadership. It will be absurd for one who is a thief to tell his followers to stop stealing. It will be difficult for a proud leader to teach his followers humility. It will be difficult for a corrupt leader to stop corruption in his government. Even a leader who does not show example in punctuality will find it difficult to fight lateness to duty among his staff. The world needs Tupocracy for peace, order and prosperity to reign.

History and origin of Tupocracy: Tupocracy is a socio-political culture or doctrine invented by Dr. Godwin Akpan Amaowoh, a Nigerian Clergyman, in 2006 as the brainchild of his doctoral dissertation at Nigeria’s foremost institution of higher Education, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Faculty of the Social Sciences. The Dissertation Topic was An Understanding of Tupos in Pauline Letters on the Pastoral Ministry of the Church and its implication for Contemporary society. The concept was recognized by the Board of Examiners with the Rev. Fr. Prof. Vincent Nyoyoko of the University of Port Harcourt as External Examiner/Chairman. The Board scored him Distinction, being a huge contribution to knowledge and recommended that the concept be published as an acceptable political doctrine. Hence, in 2007, Dr. Amaowoh published the book, Tupocracy: Leadership by example for the Church and Civil society. Subsequent editions, including the current one (4th edition, 2018) carried the name of his PhD Supervisor, the Rev. Prof. E. N. Chinwoku (formerly Onwu) as Co-author. For inventing Tupocracy, Dr. Amaowoh was inducted into the Nigerian Books of Record, published by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture which saw it as a big honour to Nigeria and Africa at large.




Full definition of Tupocracy: Tupocracy is a system of government involving people who lead by positive example based on transparency, integrity, altruism, patriotism and godly character which is worthy of emulation by their colleagues and followers. Tupocracy is one word for leadership by example, coined from two Greek words, tupos (example, pattern, model which is worthy of emulation) and Krateia (government, leadership, rulership or administration), in the family of Democracy, Autocracy, Aristocracy, etc.

Tupocracy as a political doctrine: One of the major challenges which the world is facing today is the absence of good leadership. This has precipitated poverty, insecurity, instability, war, ethnic tensions, criminality, corruption in the land and dissatisfaction and despair among the citizenry in many nations. People are looking for role models in politics, religion, civil service, the academia, business, the Private sector and even in the family but they are grossly in short supply. The answer to this delima is found in Tupocracy which is rightly predicated on the age-old axiom that “example is better than precept.” Based on this, the Tupocract says, “Emulate me in all things”; “Do as I do” and not “Do as I say.” He does not contradict himself or what he says as a leader by negative example in conduct, ip so facto, he is a role model. The beauty of Democracy, as a world acclaimed political doctrine, lies in Tupocracy. Dr. Amaowoh has therefore recommended Tupocracy to be adopted as the handmaid of Democracy, without which Democracy becomes “Dem all cracy”, meaning, “Governance by insane people.”

The Need and Importance of Tupocracy in Governance: Tupocracy ensures transparency, integrity and moral rectitude in governance/leadership. Governance or leadership should not be an all comer’s affair. It should be for people whose lifestyles are worthy of emulation whether they are Presidents, Governors, Legislators, Judicial Officers, Ministers, Commissioners or Chairmen of Local Government Areas, Councilors, Mayors, Police Officers, Military or Paramilitary Officers, traditional Rulers, Heads of Schools, Managers of Industries or Religious Leaders. Tupocracy earns leaders high reputation and respect because followers have nothing against them. It will be a huge disappointment that those we address as “His Excellency”, “His Honour”, Distinguished”, “Honourable”, etc, go to jail for corrupt practices or they hide behind impunity privilege to commit heinous and atrocious crimes.

Allover Polytechnic Set To Construct Road in Ota.

In line with the Public Private Partnership bill recently passed to law in Ogun State, Allover Central Polytechnic has signified interest to take over the construction of Lynson Chemical Avenue road in Ota.

The Rector of the School, Pastor Adekunle Adewoye made this known to the Majority Leader of Ogun State House of Assembly who paid a visit to the school on Monday 13th January.

The Rector said that the state of the road is a great concern to the school as the school and other companies in the area suffer great loss during raining season.

In his remark, Hon. Yusuf Sherif who represents Ota State Constituency in Ogun State House of Assembly commended the Management of Allover Central Polytechnic for keying into the vision of Ogun State Government which believe in partnering with private organisations for sustainable development.

The Honourable assure the management of the school of Government's support and encouraged the school to carry along all stakeholders in the state so that a proper MOU can be signed between the school and the government through the ministry of works.

Allover Central Polytechnic is a private Polytechnic in Ogun State and it's situated in Ota. It was established in 2003 and has since proved to be a leading private Polytechnic in Nigeria.

I can't believe the level at which we still have Star Illiterate. He as been traveling all around the world please let us ask him how many times he has been sprayed? and even besides that He only belives on what he is going to chop on peoples money.He is not looking at the future.He doesn't know they spend lots of money creating the naira notes, which the effects bounce back on the poor nigerians.
Well as for me The should enforce the law. And Nigerians should start living right. Enough is Enough

hi,

Do you think its all men that love sport to the bone?

Sport is just 3% in my life and they are european seasonal sports eg (scake boarding,cyclin, swimming) etc.

But if sport will make you happy, Love it with your BODY SOUL & SPIRIT.
