Residents of Alapupu, a community area under Egbedore local government are currently calling on the state government of Osun to come to their aide as a building under construction has subjected their properties to flood risk.

A resident, Yusuf Bello said he and other residents of the area wake up everyday with fear of their buildings and other valuable properties washed away by flood should there be a heavy downpour.

He is not alone with that fear, according to what many other residents told DOCPETINFO in separate interviews, but Mr Bello was able to discuss the origin of the existential threat and what he think can be done to salvage the situation.

Alapupu is in Egbedore, a local government in Osun West Senatorial District, and it bounds Ojutu bridge in Irepodun LG.

With the position of the structure, it shows that it has effect on the movement of erosion heading into Ojutu river.

Providing a background on how the area suddenly turned into a flood-prone environment, Mr Bello pointed at an ongoing structure along Ilobu road as the major threat they face.

According to him, the structure is being erected on a waterways and that created a different route for flood, which has now poured into his building at least three times in recent weeks.

“Anytime rain falls, all of us in that community usually go into panic as we are not sure on what will happen.

Frank Mba, the spokesman of the Nigeria police force, says it will be difficult for any responsible organisation to scrap the special anti-robbery squad (SARS).

Speaking on the nationwide protest against the police unit, Mba said some SARS operatives are involved in the fight against insurgency and banditry in the north.

Fresh cases of police brutality renewed protests calling for an end to the special unit which is notorious for its excessive use of force, arbitrary arrests and, in some cases, extrajudicial killings.

In Lagos where the protests began and now in its second day, residents flooded major roads with placards, insisting “enough is enough”, and it is time to scrap the squad.

Speaking on a Channels TV programme on Friday, Mba faulted said some of the protesters that want SARS banned are beneficiaries of crime.

“If the #EndSARS hashtag is seen as a symbolic call for the reform of SARS, I would say clearly that the leadership of the NPF is in line and ready to work with those making that call,” he said.

.A Need for Nigerian Government to Privatize Education, to give resources to schools

....Nigerian Institutions can't promise convocation date during Orientation for new students

...Shocking ways FUTA, other Institutions classrooms remain the same since 2015


By Tunde Gbotemi (One Class)


Olayemi Oluwaseyi Olayinka, a graduate of Christian Religious Studies, was announced as the best graduating student of BABCOCK University, Ilisha-Remo, Ogun state, a private Christian co-educational Nigerian university, during the recent convocation ceremony of the university. In this interview, he speaks with Tunde Olorungbotemi One Class on Flash point's programme on his experience and perspective of education in Nigeria and how we can achieve greatness in life if we set our minds to it.

•Tell us Something about yourself and Background?

I am Olayemi Oluwaseyi Olayinka. I'm a graduate currently waiting for my NYSC. I hail from Otun Ekiti area of Ekiti State but grew up in Akure, Ondo State capital. I was born into a family of 5, later 4 after the demise of my dad. I'm the only male of three children. Seyi is a man of integrity who likes calling a spade a spade. He also likes inspiring people into believing in themselves.

•Course studied, graduation year and graduating CGPA?

Studied Christian Religious Studies, graduated 2020, cgpa was 4.92.

•Why do you choose that course of yours and can you please share any difficulty or hurdle you faced while being a student and how you overcome?

I was studying Industrial Chemistry before in FUTA, after my 200l, I was convinced that God was calling me to something different and wants to use me in His work. So I had to leave to study Theology to be a servant in God's vineyard.

Trying to merge responsibilities with school activities was difficult. I was acting in various capacities in school starting from my 100l, by my 200l it became more tense and 300l I was made the president of one of the largest associations on campus. But I was able to overcome by planning myself and making sure it doesn't affect me, even though sometimes, mentally it does cos I like getting results, but I try to keep my head straight.

•From your background, Did you plan to come to Babcock University right from your start(i learnt you were a product of public secondary school at Aquinas college Akure, Ondo state)?

No, it was never in my plan. I am a seventh day Adventist, and Babcock is owned by my church, but the school fees is so high. So it was never my intention. Right from Aquinas I always wanted to study medicine, I tried the then University of Adi Ekiti but wasn't given admission before coming to FUTA. Even though the challenge of school fees was still there for Babcock when I was convinced I was going to go, but God saw me through.

Totally false! As at 8th October, 2020, evidence shows that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, is yet to be declared director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

Recalled that VOICE AIR MEDIA reported that Okonjo-Iweala and Yoo Myung-hee, former South Korean minister of trade, are the two final candidates for the top position in WTO.

The final shortlist for the office of the WTO DG was released by the trade body on Thursday.

Whoever emerges between the duo will become the first female WTO DG since the organisation was set up 25 years ago.

Following the announcement of Okonjo-Iweala as a final contestant for the role, information has been spreading on several platforms across social media that she has been declared winner.

A check on social media saw Amanda Chisom posted her emergence on her Facebook handle and there is no truth in her claim!

HER CLAIM: "*Breaking News:* Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been appointed as the first female leader of the WTO."

VERIFICATION:

TO Verify Amanda Chisom's claim, Paul Nwabuikwu, Okonjo-Iweala’s media adviser, said the ex-minister has not been declared winner.

In the statement, Nwabuikwu said the race is ongoing, adding that a winner will be announced in two to three weeks.

“The race for the WTO director-general is still very much on. Contrary to inaccurate information released online by an unidentified source, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has not yet been declared winner,” the statement reads.

“As announced by WTO, the former managing director of the World Bank and South Korea’s Yoo Myung-hee are the final two contestants left in the race.

Now, The Facts!

“The winner should be announced in two to three weeks. That remains the correct position.

“Dr Okonjo-Iweala is appreciative and energised by the enthusiastic support of Nigerians. And she is urging all to keep praying until the final whistle.”

While, The SDP member representing Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Adefisoye, also endorsed Akeredolu for reelection, saying “Mr. Governor has assured me that he would develop Idanre”.

The Osun SDP's decision was documented in a communique titled “SDP communique on Osun election from meetings held at Osogbo, Iwo, Ile-Ife, Ede and Ilesha on Monday, September 24.”

The party, whose candidate returned third with 128,049 votes in the election on Saturday, said its decision was made after consultations with its leaderships and members in the 30 local government areas of Osun State.

VOICE AIR MEDIA learnt that Adefisoye, popularly known as Small Alhaji, who addressed his supporters in Idanre on Monday, said “after consulting very widely with the leaders of SDP and other important leaders within and outside of Ondo State, especially the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, I have decided to support the APC. But I want to assure that this decision was primarily taken for the sake of continuous development in Idanre/Ifedore federal constituency.

Ahead of the October 10, governorship election in Ondo state, the aspiration of the candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), also the embattled Deputy Governor, Hon Agboola Ajayi, and that of his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, have reportedly stirred up more division among PDP governors over whom to support.

Investigation revealed that some of the governors were divided in their opinions during a conference telephone conversation with former President Olusegun Obasanjo following the outcome of the visit and closed door meeting of immediate past governor of Ondo state, Dr. Segun Mimiko and Obasanjo on Tuesday at Abeokuta.

Upon invitation for discussion, the former Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko had visited Obasanjo at his Hiltop Mansion at Abeokuta, where discussions were held on the possibility of having an alliance of the two opposition parties, the PDP and ZLP against the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ondo State.

It was gathered that Mimiko had justified and convinced Obasanjo beyond any considerable reason why the candidacy of Jegede, the candidate of the PDP cannot fly with the people of Ondo state.

Mimiko was said to have pleaded with Obasanjo to advise the leadership of the PDP to talk to Jegede to step down for Ajayi for the two parties to work together ahead of next weekend governorship election in the state.

A source at the meeting also quoted Mimiko to have told Obasanjo that, “Ajayi is a grassroots politician with executive and legislative experiences and he is more rooted in the politics of Ondo State than Jegede.”

The source hinted that Mimiko further told Obasanjo that the candidature of Jegede runs against fairness and equity with the political tradition of the good people of Ondo State in power-sharing, he (Mimiko) said it was a regrettable action he took in 2016.

Our investigation report revealed that the PDP governors who spoke with Obasanjo were said to have been divided in their views, with some of them sharing in the views and opinion of Dr. Mimko, some were said to be against it, while some others are indifferent in their reactions.

Elections are the only instrument of Democratic and peaceful transfer of power with the consent and choice of the majority as Edo state governorship election set to hold tomorrow, Saturday, 19th September, 2020.

Reporting from the street of Benin, Edo State capital, Mrs Precious a member of the All Progressive congress (APC), told reporter that she had always cherished the “leadership strength and capacity of (the incumbent governor) Godwin Obaseki,” and would have love to vote him if he had not dumped the APC. So Mr Obaseki’s decamping to the PDP was a factor in deciding who will earn her vote tomorrow, she said.

Also, a loyalist of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who want his name anonymous, said Pastor Ize Iyamu was a strong grassroot member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who contested in the last gubernatorial election with the hope of coming back to give a good governance to the state but under the same umbrella party to cover the people of Edo state but reverse is the case today... So tomorrow will decide, he said.

Though, there are 14 candidates for the election, but the quest for the chief security officer of the state has been rested on the shoulder of two strong personalities in the race, between the current Governor, Godwin Obaseki(PDP) and his opponent four years ago, Osagie Ize-Iyamu(APC).

This newspapers reported how both men swapped political parties and are now respective flag-bearers of the parties they opposed in the last governorship election — Mr Obaseki now upholds the umbrella of the PDP while Mr Ize-Iyamu now swings the broom of the APC.

A bus driver along ring road Benin in his word “We just want him (Governor Obaseki) to complete his eight years term. He is a nice man,” Master Osanrenren, said.

However, a young lady in the Bus said she will vote Mr Ize-Iyamu because of the support of Adams Oshiomhole, the state’s two-term former governor and APC former chairman, whose unending battle with Mr Obaseki accumulated to his sack as the party head and the former decamping to the opposition.

“He has done so much for Edo State,” Glory, a student of Auchi polytechnic Edo State, said.
