Because baba don donate N10m give University of Ibadan... Baba no want make we hear word again....


Baba no fit swear say him never chop church money before..... Baba na scam!!

Actually Adeboye gave the donation. Oyedepo stopped taking salaries way back in the 1990s. Before you mention PJ, remember that the PJ is a church concern meant to ease the operations of the leadership of the church. I'm sure about 90% of its trip are for church or ministerial use.

ACCESSING YOUR NEXT LEVELS BY AVOIDING THE LOVE OF MONEY

BY Bishop David Oyedepo

* One of the greatest enemy in ministry is the love of money 1 Tim 6:10-11.

* Rom 8:28, 1 Cor 2:9 Every move of God is at a risk when money gets in the way Luke 22:35, Luke 10:7.
* Every project commanded by God enjoys Heaven budget for its execution Hag 2:8

* Mar 22nd 1982 (Located the key of Kingdom Prosperity)

You don't buy into anointing with money. You buy with a fast and a panting to access what that anointing carries

* How Gehazi lost his place in ministry 2Kings 5:20-22. He got the goods and got the curse

* The next phase is not in view for any money monger in ministry

* It's not merchandise. Go after God, goodness and mercy will keep following after you

* When you access the secrets behind heaven's supplies, you will stop running after people

* People should be relaxed when they come to church, not apprehensive

* People should not be tensed up when they come to church but experience true liberty

* My prayer is that money things will not destroy your ministry

* If God commanded it, He is committed to it. Whatever God commands, He is committed to it.

* Hag 2:4, 6-8 From now, begin to enjoy the release of heaven budget

* Don't do anything in competition, don't do anything to compare with someone else

* Beware of the love of money, it draws men into destruction and perdition. Let the love of God take the love of money in your heart 1 Tim 6:11 and before you know it, you and God are working together to make things happen in that ministry. That is the way it works

* Demarcate ministry resources from private resources. I have never lacked from my private resources. If you will not be faithful financially, you will not be fruitful financially. You're answerable to God on how you deal with the resources at your disposal

* You can't write a cheque on church money for a suit to wear, you can't write a cheque on church money for your children school fees, those are your private concerns. Yes, you have your pay. The offerings in church are not yours, they came to worship their God with it and for the purpose of the kingdom of their God; and so you are answerable to God on it

* Zech 5:4 , Jer 17:11 God's verdict for unjust access to riches. Your personal wellbeing is guaranteed as you serve the Lord in truth and deed Luke 10:7

1. 1 Tim 6:6 Contentment. Start from where you are. Anything you don't appreciate, does not multiply

* Be contented. I don't price what I don't have the means to acquire. Say with me: I shall be contented with godly contentment all the days of my life

2. Believe that life is in phases Mark 4:27-28. That is how life yields its returns. Enjoy where you are, He is taking you somewhere else. Starting from where we are is the gateway to the topmost top. Don't despise the days of small things Zech 4:10. Inside those days, lies the great days ahead. Put your best into it.

* Job 8:7 Everything big today, started small yesterday; everything great today, started little yesterday. There is nothing small that cannot become big and there is nothing big that cannot be bigger. Enjoy every stage with all excitement

* You don't play crooked to wear a crown

* Lev 27:30. 10 percent applies to everyone and every system.

* I decree an end to every form of financial tension in your life and ministry

* Job 36:11 Every form of financial pressure is over in your life

HigherEd welcome back from leave. Let me proceed on my leave since you have resumed

Covenant University has finally broken the record of the British Times Higher Education by being the first University in West Africa to feature in the Under 50 ranking as revealed in the THE Young Universities Summit in University of Surrey, UK.

The University also broke into this ranking before any other universities in N/Africa, East Africa and Central Africa. Covenant was also rated higher than Coventry University which is much older by the British ranker.

The ranking which is specially set aside to celebrate Fast Rising Universities across the world, which have been identified as potential big rivals to age long universities.

Recall that in 2012 Bishop Oyedepo declared Vision 10:2022 which mandated Covenant University to be listed amongst the top 10 leading institution in the World. Apart from excess funding push, the University management has defined the Vision set by Oyedepo to mean Covenant must advance itself to the top 10 ranking of any globally relevant ranking. This has pushed the University to rethink its entire higher education strategy by benchmarking with other fast rising stars like POSTECH, South Korea and Maastricht, Netherlands. According to Elsevier's SCOPUS Covenant has had 1000+% upsurge in her research effortsince the Vision was Unveiled in 2012. The University has also spent an excess of $20 million in improving its research facilities.

the easiest way to see bishop is to just go and wait at honour entrance or better still attend evening raid in canaanland

just know ur talking will be less than 2 minute ,so wrap all your life problem inside the two minutes

If they attend to everybody they wouldn't have a life I guess.

How Bishop Oyedepo's Protocol Did Not All Allow Me See Him And The Lessons I Learnt - Bishop Oyedepo




As told by Pastor Sam Adeyemi.

The first day I went to Canaanland, Ota to see Bishop David Oyedepo was a memorable one full of lessons. I had met him at the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja where I first told him I wanted him to mentor me in ministry; because I needed the same grace of effortless accomplishments on his life and ministry.

He had his PA give me his complimentary card, then told me to come to his office at Canaanland, Ota. I was so excited that I couldnt wait for the Independence Day National Christain Service to end at the Ecumenical Centre so I could dash home and tell my wife about my encounter with the bishop.

On the appointed date, I went to Canaanland, Ota with my wife Nike to see the bishop. We waited for six hours and could not see him. There was a crowd of people also waiting. He is a thoroughly busy person, and he gives a good measure of time to each person that enters the office.

I was totally disappointed that day. I thought he would tell his orderlies and PA to bring me inside immediately once they saw me; because I was Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Christain Center.

By 3pm, we were all told to go home and come at another appointed day; without as much as any explanation. Since I entered full time ministry, that was my first time of having to wait for an audience with someone; to wait for a full six hours!

I went home angry. I told myself I wont go there again. “What sort of thing is this?” “How can I stay there and waste a whole day without seeing the bishop?” “Dont I have other things to do?” I kept fuming to myself at home. I couldnt calm down to piece together all that happened at Canaanland that day. For all I cared, the bishop knew I was coming that day to see him.

But my wife kept telling me to be patient so as to get what I want. Nike talked me into going back to canaanland for another wait for the bishop. I finally determined that I must see him, no matter the time it would take.

On the new date of appointment, I went again with my wife and waited another six hours before we were sent home. I had cancelled a lot of meetings and shifted a dozen appointments to go back to Canaanland, Ota. I was so thoroughly washed down by that second disappointment.

It then happened for the third time before my wife stopped talking me into going again. She allowed me to make my decision. I had had enough. I went home and got busy. I neither called the bishop during this my period of total hands-on-ministry, nor went to see him again. I simply bought all his books, and a thousand tapes of the bishop. I read the books till they became a part of me. I listened to the tapes at home, in the office, and when I’m driving. I soaked myself in the work of the ministry. We started many projects in our church, including setting up schools, orphanages, and the Daystar Leadership Academy. I didn’t bother to call nor try fixing another appointment with his PAs.

Six months later, we met at the domestic wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, and you should have seen the look of surprise and happiness at the same time on the bishop’s face.

“This my son. Where on earth have you been?” Did you travel to Mars?” He hugged me so tight as if his life depended on it. He was all smiles. He started asking me questions about how ministry has been going, and I answered excitedly, with all the clarity he wanted.

We found a seat in the lounge and talked for about 30 minutes; because the flight was delayed by 30 minutes. He kept asking questions and I kept talking.

The next day, the bishop called me. He called me again after three days. From then on, seeing him became less cumbersome. That was how I became a regular keynote speaker at the Covenant University Special Programmes on Character Development and National Transformation.

Today, the bishop pubicly refers to me as one of his favourite sons in ministry, and our ministry has grown in leaps and bounds because I sense the same grace upon the bishop operating in our ministry too.

TAKE HOME LESSON
Deep calls unto deep. Men of destiny, men of purpose, men who are busy and occupied with their primary assignment on the earth can easily recognise themselves across a hall when they meet.

All things being equal, busy people love busy people. Busy people rarely love to associate with, or accomodate people who slow down their momentum.

So whenever you find yourself complaining about an apperant lack of attention from a busy person, the solution is to just go and get busy with your life and assignment. First of all, discover your specific assignment, your niche, and grow in your influence. Get busy!

This is because recognising each other when you’re both at the top is far easier and effortless than recognising each other at the crowded ground level. The high decibel of noise and purposeless activity of the crowd at the ground level, comprising of people of all sort of character and orientation will never allow that to happen.

Up your game!

99% staff and students affected.




By Oko Ebuka


The Nigerian Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Delta State is in deep accommodation crisis as over 99 per cent of the school including lecturers and 1,400 students are affected.


A source close to the management revealed to Vanguard Maritime Report that the main campus at Okerekoko currently do not have any project going on there while the take-off campus at Kurute does not have what it takes to accommodate the students and staff of the institution. The source also reported that the female lecturers are sharing rooms with female students while the male lecturers are sleeping in their offices and the students don’t have any place to sleep and those who have money to rent private accommodation because there are none to rent.

“As I speak to you now lecturers are sleeping in their offices, in lecture halls female lecturers are sleeping in female hostels. The students don’t have accommodation apart from the first year, and there are no houses to rent in town even if you have your money, and the population keeps increasing” the source said. May Day: workers urge employers of labour to respect collective agreement The source calls on the present administration to find a lasting solution to the problem by signing the proposed bill into law in order to make provisions for the institution to provide accommodation for them.


“Attention of the federal government should be quickly drawn into it so that they will go and find a solution. Don’t also forget that the president refused to sign the bill into law. That is another problem because if that bill was signed into law, they will make provisions for and be able to reach out to those who will be able to provide the accommodation.”


“The project was started by Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and this present government has not added even a block to the little project done by the PDP government,” the source said. The source further disclosed that only year one student of the university have accommodation presently and expressed worry that the fresh intake of students later this year will further compound the problem, he concluded. Efforts to get the reaction of the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. (Mrs.) Maureen Ongoebi Etebu was unsuccessful as she neither picked her call nor responded to a text message sent to her on the issue.

Churches Outnumber Pubs in the UK

Every village in the United Kingdom used to have a pub, a church, and a general store. Today, pubs (short for “public houses”) have become iconic, a popular destination for visitors to try drinks, traditional pub meals, and the cultural ambiance.

But these local landmarks are closing quickly; only 39,000 are left in England, down a quarter from 20 or so years ago. There are now more church buildings than pubs, according to recent figures announced last month by the National Churches Trust.

But the number of churches overall is falling too, just not as fast. The share of Christians in the UK is declining, as in America and other parts of the Western world. Total secularization isn’t inevitably around the corner for at least two reasons. First, surveys show that many who say they have “no religion” still believe in God, pray, say they have a soul, or even read the Bible. Second, there is actually substantial growth among certain types of churches in the UK, all in the context of God’s promise to build his church.

The three biggest UK denominations—Anglicans, Roman Catholics, and Presbyterians—are all declining quite quickly. Overall, their numbers have gone down 16 percent in just the last five years, Presbyterians the fastest (down 19%). Two other major groups are also declining, Baptists and Methodists, but they are much smaller in size.

The three major denominations form 60 percent of church members, and the smaller two another 16 percent. The remaining members often belong to the types of churches that are seeing the most growth right now—many of which have a Pentecostal bent, ranging from immigrant-founded denominations to Hillsong campuses.

Their increase, although significant, is unfortunately not enough to compensate for the drop among the bigger churches, but has moderated the overall decline. I’ll share below which kinds of churches are growing the fastest amid demographic shifts in the UK.

Immigrant churches, black majority churches, and reverse mission churches
London is the epicenter for growing churches. Between 2005 and 2012, overall church attendance (not membership) in London went from 620,000 people to 720,000, a 16 percent increase. The number of churches increased by two a week, from 4,100 to 4,800. During this time, the city welcomed immigrants both from Europe and the rest of the world, its population growing from 7 million to 8 million in 10 years.

Many of those newcomers were Christians and sought a church that spoke their language. More than 50 different languages are spoken in London’s churches; 14 percent of all the services held in the city are not in English.

The trend has since spread into other major urban areas, where churches draw in fellow believers who share the same language, outlook, culture, and so on. This is effectively the principle first enunciated by Donald McGavran, the church growth guru, who said, “People like to stay with their own people,” the so-called homogeneous unit principle.


Many of these churches conducting worship in other languages are Roman Catholic. Others are “black” churches, also called Black Majority Churches (BMCs). They too are immigrants but have been in the UK for much longer, often now in their third or fourth generation.

They first came as part of the Windrush generation, named for the ship that berthed in 1948 with many from the West Indies (the Caribbean). Rejected initially by the native white churches, they formed their own groups, like the New Testament Church of God, Elim Pentecostal Church, Apostolic Church, Assemblies of God, and others.

They have been joined in the last 25 years or so by others coming from West Africa, the “reverse mission” churches, like the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Potters House Christian Fellowship, Mountain of Fire Ministries, Church of Pentecost, and others. Many of these are starting new churches.

Founded in Lagos, Nigeria, the RCCG, for example, has started over 800 churches in the UK since 1993, led by a man with clear vision and effective strategy, Pastor Agu Irukwu. His 4,000- strong Church of All Nations in Brent, West London, adopted the mantra “a church within 10 minutes walking distance.” That comes straight out of the Nigerian bush country where no one goes to church by car or taxi.

It is effectively the “parish” system used by the three largest denominations, but the RCCG pursue it energetically: “You live near us, come and join us, you’ll enjoy it, we are warm and lively, and you haven’t far to go.” Many respond; the RCCG is now the largest Pentecostal denomination in the UK.

Hello sir.
Pls I sent you an email. I would be grateful if you could respond.

You know ill gotten wealth has a way of loosening the connection between the brain and the fingers. Dude was flying helicopter from Lagos to Ota like he is an important fellow billed for an important event.

The guy must have really suffered in life. He so much transformed chei. Some of his friends were asking him to even run for politics and it seems the guy liked the idea.

Most IT related theft cases are always perpetrated by insiders trusted with the system.
I saw one of almost N12 billion not up to a year ago involving someone I had worked with compromising a system he was trusted with.

CU truly sanwo Danny here . . . omo ri owo, omo je owo enterprise limited. Askari toun gba soft paper.

this guy for buy PJ very soon o. The idea of the payment platform was actually awesome. It meant you could pay for a whole range of things in the comfort of your residence. But the idea is mostly doomed now because of the carelessness of the management.
Dickson Nsofor a CU grad runs a multi billion naira payment platform with a lot of inputs from cyber security folks(probably firms). If they had reached out to firms that work with his own company they could have averted this sort of calamity.

The idiot actually renting an helicopter to travel to ota is the most ridiculous part of this whole scandal.

They need to confiscate all his properties and sell them for all it's worth. It's amazing how Oyedepo got to find out about this while mingling with area boys in Ota. Just imagine if he didn't come out to vote on that faithful day.

Lol so it's this guy! No wonder.
I see Oyedepo shutting down the 'CUPay' platform immediately and forever. This is pure carelessness on the part of the VC and the management. So far, in the organization I work in, we make certain to bind all our tech consultants by the most stringent laws possible.

I hope the VC doesn't lose his seat for this.

1) The way the 'CUpay' platform was rushed into implementation without probably testing for loopholes or the input of cybersecurity experts was nah.

2) They should have started with utility payments rather than school fees and other heavy payments.

Well, this is not necessary. Just ask for the money and let interested people donate. No need for auctioning God's blessings.

Both the school management and the thief are unwell. How does a staff siphon N180 million and you don't even know until you saw he was living larger than what he earns? Meaning he could have carted away with N1 billion and you won't even know...

They better get PwC or KPMG to audit their earnings and expenditure.

Please I need three bus owners/drivers to help convey people to Lekki from Agege for an event. Pls i f u are i interested contact the following number.

Entrepreneurship in Nigeria is a Scam and a Multiplier of Poverty: Part 3


In the second part of this article, I described the four types of entrepreneurship available, they are, traditional, conditional, capital and innovative entrepreneurships.
Link to part 2
https://www.nairaland.com/3102449/part-2-entrepreneurship-scam-nigeria

It is important to note that nations that have developed over the years ensured massive emphasis on both capital and innovative entrepreneurship.

Unfortunately, the emphasis of entrepreneurship in Nigeria is on traditional and conditional entrepreneurships. I wonder how these kinds of entrepreneurships will solve socioeconomic problems in Nigeria.

Entrepreneurship in developed nations was used to provide infrastructures such as electricity, railways, airports, hospitals among others. Steel plants, petroleum refineries, automobiles, aircraft and hi-tech companies came to existence as a result of exploits in innovative and capital entrepreneurships.

Nigeria's kind of entrepreneurship being preached to our youth cannot be used to solve any kind of socio-economic problem such as lack of power supply, good roads, portable water, railway and so on. It is so obvious that the entrepreneurship we practice in Nigeria is absolutely handicapped. It lacks both solution and growth factor, however, it is a poverty multiplying one.

Nigeria's kind of entrepreneurship lacks the capability to provide substantial job opportunities needed by the youth. The traditional entrepreneurship we practice provide jobs in retailing, unskilled or semi-skilled jobs, exportation of raw materials and importation of finished goods. Developed nations have massive jobs in information technology, aerospace, space technology, healthcare power, sports, tourism, oil and gas, which are products of innovative and capital entrepreneurship. It is certain that the number of unemployed people in Nigeria will continue to increase if there is no change to our entrepreneurship approach.


Taking a look at the genesis of institutionalisation of entrepreneurship in Nigeria, which can be traced to 1986 when the Government established the National Directorate of employment, NDE, to provide skills for youth in order to make them employable. It was this same time that several industries began to fold up, banks began to liquidate, the quality of education began to experience sharp decline and government's investment in infrastructural development began to recede. It is so obvious that the government at that time lacked job creation skills.

Over thirty years down the lane, one should ask, how much jobs has NDE provided? Would we have the need of NDE if we had abundant industries and functional education that produces job creating graduates? What a pity to see that the major mantra of the government to the youth is traditional entrepreneurship. If Nigeria's kind of cake baking, hair dressing and dough-nut entrepreneurship had failed in the past, how would it help create factories and solve our unemployment problem? I see no reason why we should magnify the failures of entrepreneurship in the name of self employment.

Innovative entrepreneurship of Mr Innocent Chuckwuma of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing and Mr Adetokunbo Ogundeyin of Proforce Limited -manufacturer of armoured vehicles- are undeniable examples. They built technological empires without government's help, yet, the sky is not even their limit, but their starting points. Imagine if we can replicate this achievements in electricity generation, petroleum refining, road/railway construction, metals and material production.

Nigeria is facing serious budget finance crisis because the revenue earned from petroleum is no longer sufficient to fund the budget. Massive funds is being ploughed into traditional entrepreneurship that provides very little tax, thereby plunging the nation massive borrowing. However, products and services of innovative ventures in developed nations have become huge sources of revenue to their respective nations. Therefore Nigeria should to invest in entrepreneurship that will generate abundant revenue to fund subsequent budgets.

Nigeria has more than thirty percent of an estimated population of 200 million people involved in agriculture, yet malnutrition is ravaging our land. The major problem of insufficient food production is the primitive farming using cutlass and hoe -a form of traditional entrepreneurship. So unfortunate that insurgency in North-Eastern Nigeria and the nationwide herdsmen killings hsd highly contributed to reduced crop production.

On the other hand, some nations have lesser than two percent of their population in agriculture, yet they meet local demand and export. They make use of innovative entrepreneurship both on the farm and in the lab/workshops. They don't depend on normads to provide beef for them. Here in Nigeria, graduates of agriculture do not practice farming professionally, yet it is the unequipped graduates of other courses, that are persuaded into agriculture as a result of unemployment.

It is good to have several capital entrepreneurs like Aliko Dangote, who has built several industries in Nigeria and across Africa. His latest investment in the 650,000 bpd of crude oil refinery and petrochemical complex which is expected to help tackle the availability of petroleum products is highly laudable. However, he didn't become an overnight investor, his success story began in 1977 with the 500,000 naira loan -when 1$ = 0.65k - given to him by his uncle, Alhaji Dantata. The major problem of capital entrepreneurship is how to get massive loans for industrial development.

Finally, a paradigm shift is still the solution to our challenges.

You should attack govt policies, lack of will or even inexistent economic framework for the inability of capitalist to invigorate the Nation's infrastructure.
Now your comment on this thread is over out of place. Capitalist are doing their best to the degree govt permits.
Or how do you come to tell me ThriveAgric empowering hundreds of local farmers as a multiplier of poverty.

D practicals that students dnt take serious.... I am nt saying its bad o... But hw many students or graduates can say what they are doing now is as regards to what they learnt frm EDS

EDS in CU is very rigourous. And runs from 100 - 500 levels in every semester for every students.
Four years after graduating from CU, I still find my notes quite instructive and priceless in the business world.

Rasaq Quadri - I am inclined to believe your religious bigotry against Christianity is diffusing into Covenant university. I quite remember your handle giving me dismissive mentions(on matter pertaining to church schooling system) quite a number of times now.
It would amaze you that a Muslim like your self from Bayero University's dangote business school, Kano wrote this beautiful article...

You need to clean your mind out, religious bigotry kills you know.

Nice article by Adeiza. However Paystack two founders - Shola Akinlabi and Ezra Olubi are from Babcock, not Covenant. Though we have quite a number of CU folks like Nneka Nnadimkpa, Sidri and a whole lot of others that I'm not very familiar with at the managerial level.

Alarm: Yoruba forests host 1,123 cells of armed Fulani herdsmen--Oodua group

…….says Yoruba rich are being secretly kidnapped, huge ransom paid

Ibadan May 14, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLIC RELEASE..

There are exactly 1,123 cells belonging to armed Fulani herdsmen mainly in forests and highlands located across Yoruba territories.
The cells are well organized and they appear to network with each other.
The mission of the cells are unknown except that there have been increase in the preponderance of their organization skill.
They appear to have lately adopted martial training in these cells. Some of the Fulani armed herdsmen speak French suggesting the Franco-African origin of some of them.

In a media release on Tuesday, Apapo Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA) said the cells are manned by between 30 to 50 young armed Fulani herdsmen whose focus is kidnapping and rape and the imposition of siege, a state of fear and anomie across Yorubaland.
AOKOYA, a coalition of several Pan Yoruba self-determination groups including Yoruba Nationalist League, (YONL) Association of Yoruba Retired Officers, (AYORO), Federation of Ilaje Peoples, (FEIP), Itsekiri Peoples Alliance, (IPA), Oodua Peoples Congress, (OPC), Oodua Revolutionary Coalition, (OREC), Agbekoya, Oodua Students Alliance, (OSA) and many others said the study was conducted over a period of six months using some of the best intelligence gathering equipment.
It further said that satellite images have been personally submitted to State Governors in the South West and some traditional rulers.
The group said “We have taken our time to do an intelligence survey using modern equipment and google mapping with elementary satellite imaging to know the number of armed cells established and controlled by the Fulani herdsmen spread across Yoruba territories of Kwara, Kogi, Lagos, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti and Itsekiri part of Delta State. Our findings are shocking. There are 1, 123 cells run by armed Fulani militia. The cells are populated with Fulani armed men. Some of them are in military uniforms and in some instances we find young girls cooking for the men”, the release signed by the Secretary for Strategy of the group, United States-based Col Abimbola Sowunmi and Deputy Secretary for Publicity, Mr Ismail Abiodun said.
AOKOYA also said that its intelligence report indicate that many Yoruba rich are being kidnapped in silence.
“We discovered that many Yoruba rich men and women are being kidnapped and they are compelled to pay ransom. It is traditional that many of them fear to speak out and in cases where rape of women are involved, the victims are too traumatised to speak out.

"The Yoruba rich suffer in silence. They are raped. They are so traumatized to speak out. We reveal with pain in our hearts that the proprietor of a very big Petrol Filling station in Yoruband one of the finest Yoruba business woman was kidnapped. She paid a lot of money.
Another woman, Mrs who runs an Industry with speciality in ethanol was kidnapped near Ayede in Ekiti state..She has since relocated to London. AOKOYA representatives have met some of these victims who have given confidential information.

Another very rich woman in Abeokuta was kidnapped late last year on her way to Lagos. She was kept for two weeks. She paid a huge sum as ransom. The wife of a prominent Pastor in Lagos was seized in February this year on her way to Akure in Ondo State. She infact paid 25 million to be free. Students of many of the highbrow private Universities are victims. They know their parents and the students.

The Fulani herdmen threaten them that their children would be killed if they report to the police.
AOKOYA said students of Afe Babalola University, Babcock and Covenant Universities are prime targets.
"It added that wives of traditional rulers are also targets. They are so scared to report to the authorities.”
In one instance, Yoruba billionaire, Bode Akindele was accosted on Ibadan-Lagos Highway. He managed to escape.
We observe that they operate with intelligence networking with some contacts within the state security services that provide information for them and through an extensive network involving Maiguards.
They go out to mosques on Fridays and churches in Sundays where they target and trail owners of exotic cars to their private homes from where they station agents who act as Okada riders but who in actual fact monitor the movement of these people.
" Its a sophisticated network that has recently succeded in breaking into network of some banks in order to know the rich and trace the addresses provided in those bank details.

There are infact too many instances to be mentioned.
AOKOYA said Denying these facts will not help Yorubaland, the issue is to rise up to the challenge and confront headlong.
AOKOYA said it does not expect the authorities in Yorubaland to accept these reports but that events in the few months ahead will confirm the veracity as the Fulani herdsmen are poised to be on greater rampage.
“They have four strategies that have helped them. The first is that they maintain the purity of the Fulani control of the kidnap ring.

This has its own strength and weakness. It makes it difficult for penetration by the state or the host communities so as not to discover their modus.
On the other hand of its advantage, it nullifies the potential of locals getting involved in kidnapping.
