The Honourable Speaker,
Ekiti State House of Assembly,
Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

Through:
The Clerk of the House.

Subject: Petition on Alleged Fraudulent and Non-Transparent Recruitment by Ekiti State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM)

Sir,

We, the undersigned applicants in the 2025 TESCOM recruitment exercise, hereby petition your Honourable House over the gross irregularities, denial of due process, and alleged fraudulent practices that have characterized the said recruitment.

Background

1. The Ekiti State Government publicly advertised the employment of 1,800 teachers and non-teaching staff.

2. Applicants applied online, sat for a Computer-Based Test (CBT), and those who met the cut-off mark were invited via email and the official recruitment portal for a written examination.

3. Successful candidates were subsequently invited for interviews and micro-teaching sessions, also communicated through the portal and email.

Grievances

After all these stages, the official communication channels (emails and portal) were suddenly abandoned.

TESCOM resorted to selective text messages, which opened the process to manipulation and lack of transparency.

Numerous credible reports allege that employment slots were sold or distributed as political patronage.

Many qualified applicants who passed every stage have been unfairly sidelined.

Issues Raised

Why were the official communication channels abruptly abandoned?

Why were deserving candidates disregarded in favour of backdoor selections?

Why is there no published merit list, despite applicants completing all the advertised stages?

Our Demands

We respectfully call on the House of Assembly to:

1. Constitute an investigative panel into the recruitment exercise.

2. Compel TESCOM to publish the comprehensive list of all applicants, their scores at every stage, and the final list of employed candidates.

3. Nullify fraudulent appointments made outside the due process.

4. Ensure that merit-based recruitment is upheld in line with the principles of fairness, transparency, and justice as enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution and Public Service Rules.

We submit this petition not just for ourselves, but for the future of Ekiti education, the integrity of public service, and the faith of young people who trusted this process.

Yours faithfully,
Concerned Applicant.

My friend told me that, the school he is teaching, are looking for a physics teacher and he wants me to help him ask around, because since when the physics teacher in that school resigns, it has been months and still they have not found his replacement.

I am very angry and want to cut ties with that friend of mine forever.

Wrong! It says it is tuition-free, and that is what I showed there. Basically, you pay administrative costs alone and get a bachelor's degree for free.

My name is Ajimuda Timilehin. I live in Lagos and I work in sports betting. Because of my work, I always test different betting sites in Nigeria. I have used many platforms before. Some of them are okay, but many of them gave me problems.

The main problem I saw on many sites is withdrawal delay. You can win, but you will wait long before your money comes. Sometimes it takes hours or even days. Another problem is poor customer service. Some sites do not answer when you have a question or problem.
Because of this, I decided to try Helabet. My first test was simple. I placed a small bet on football. I won. Then I tried to withdraw. To my surprise, the money came very fast. No delay. That made me trust the site more.

I also looked at the football odds. I compared with other platforms I know. Helabet odds are higher in many games. It may look small, but if you bet often, that extra money can add up and make a difference.

I also tested live betting. The site worked well. No lag, no freeze. I could place my bet while the game was going on without any problem.

The website itself is easy to use. It is not confusing. Anyone can understand it. For me, that is very important.

So far, my experience with Helabet has been good. I know no site is perfect, but this one has been smooth for me. That is why I am sharing this here. If you are in Nigeria and you are looking for a betting site that pays fast and gives good odds, you can try Helabet.

“Dear Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo,

Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Ordinarily, we do not respond to social media commentaries or controversies. However, we consider it necessary to address your recent statements, which have been widely circulated on your social media platforms, for the following three reasons:

1. Scriptural Justification — The Bible permits us to respond wisely to folly to prevent arrogance (Proverbs 26:5).

2. Clarification of Truth — To correct the misleading narrative you are promoting about ministry and wealth.

3. Defense of Legacy — To address the inaccurate claims you’ve made regarding the life and ministry of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, the first General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church.

In one of your trending messages on YouTube, you acknowledged that Apostle Babalola was highly anointed but "had no money", and then went on to ask sarcastically, “Where are his children?” — a question that was both insensitive and ill-informed.

To equate anointing or ministerial success with material wealth is biblically flawed. The words of Jesus are clear:

"Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses." — Luke 12:15.

Yet, your teachings suggest otherwise.

In doing so, you promote what the Bible refers to as Simony — the monetization of spiritual gifts (Acts 8:18–24). The Scriptures do not teach that money is a sign of anointing. Rather, “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). Which Bible do you read and preach from?

On the Question of Apostle Babalola’s Children

Ethically speaking, Apostle Babalola had children. Simple arithmetic should help you understand that they would be advanced in age by now — possibly your grandparents' age. What did you hope to achieve with the mocking question, “Where are the children of Babalola?”

Your statement reflects more on the kind of company you keep, but as a preacher of the Word, shouldn’t your conduct and utterances be guided by Scripture?

Where in the Bible does your brand of prosperity theology originate — one that demeans people for not being wealthy? Isn’t such a message encouraging greed, corruption, and godlessness, especially in a nation already struggling with moral decay?

Setting the Record Straight

For the sake of truth and posterity, let me correct the public misrepresentations you’ve made regarding Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola:

1. Calling

Apostle Babalola was called by God on October 10, 1928, at the age of 24. His ministry spanned Western and Midwestern Nigeria, and extended to the Gold Coast (now Ghana), marked by undeniable signs and wonders.

2. Wealth and Lifestyle

He was blessed — but not materialistic or greedy. He gave lands to the Church, supported the education of many, fed the poor, and lived sacrificially. He housed more people than just his biological children.

When Queen Elizabeth II visited Nigeria in February 1956, Apostle Babalola was among the honored guests. Would a man in rags be granted such recognition by a colonial government? Certainly not.

He was no fundraiser, yet God supplied his needs. His diaries are filled with divine provisions like: “Ipese Olorun loni: £100.00, £50.00...”

He lived in a befitting home, drove one of the best Ford Jeeps of his time, and funded weddings, education, and apprenticeship programs — all without exploiting the pulpit.

3. Family

His children — Mama Eunice Wuraola Ogini and Apeke Adeniyi — are alive, blessed, fulfilled, and quietly serving the Lord in their respective churches. They are not loud, ostentatious, or greedy.

4. Legacy

Apostle Babalola’s anointing impacted generations. More than 66 years after his passing, his legacy continues to inspire and bless countless lives and ministries. That is true impact.

Let me pose a question to you:

When Peter said in Acts 3:6, “Silver and gold I do not have…” — was he still anointed or not?
I leave that for you to ponder.

5. Conclusion

The measure of a believer’s anointing is not in material accumulation, but in sacrificial service.

"For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." — Romans 14:17.

Jesus taught:

“Whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your servant… just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” — Matthew 20:25–28.

Once again,
“Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” — Luke 12:15.

May God give us all the grace to rightly divide the Word of Truth, and to walk in humility, reverence, and godly wisdom.

● Seeks More Corps Members for Posting to Schools

OSOGBO - 30/07/2027 - Osunstate.gov.ng

As financial constraints delay planned mass teachers’ recruitment, Governor Ademola Adeleke has deployed a total of One Thousand, Seven Hundred and Fifty Imole Youth Corps teachers to primary and secondary schools across Osun state.

The Governor is also seeking more deployment of members of the National Youth Service Corps to Osun state for posting to schools in the state.

These measures are stop gap actions to address personnel shortage in some schools and to prepare ground for the expansion of teaching personnel in critical subject areas.

The Imole Youth Corps members posted to the schools hold Nigeria Certificate of Education and University degree qualifications and are already functioning in various schools in the state.

The breakdown of the posting are as follows: Ayedaade - 65; Atakumosa East 35; Atakumosa west 43; Ayedire 47; Boluwaduro 44; Boripe 33; Ede North 74; Ede South 66; Egbedore 56; Ejigbo 87; Ife central 61; Ife East 28; Ife North 39; Ife South 50.

Others are Ifedayo- 58; Ifelodun -58; Ila Orangun- 83; Ilesa East -61; Ilesa West- 68; Irepodun -43; Irewole- 74; Isokan -19; Iwo -87; Obokun- 50; Odo Otin -77; Ola Oluwa -43; Olorunda- 44; Oriade -106; Orolu -41; Osogbo -80; and Modakeke Area Office -33.

Governor Adeleke in his response to the development reaffirmed the determination of the government to strengthen the school system through multiple innovations to further improve Osun attainment in national and local examinations.

According to the Governor, Osun ranking in national examination will soon hit between number 1 to 3 from the present 7th position, promising that teachers recruitment will be achieved before the next elections.

“We will recruit more teachers once the financial climate improves. We are however committed to ensuring a narrowing of the personnel gap in our schools. That is why we innovated on the Imole Teachers Corps.

“We will train and retrain those presently in service. I commend the principals and great members of the Nigerian Union of Teachers. We appreciate the Parents-Teachers Association.

“We will Continue to improve the learning environment for our pupils and students. To this end, we commend the private school operators. They are a critical sector in the positive development of education in our dear state”, the Governor was quoted as saying.

OSOGBO- 30/07/2025 - osunpdp.com

The Peoples Democratic Party in Osun state has attributed the delay in teachers' recruitment to the withholding of Osun allocations for the past five months, calling on the federal ruling party to release Osun allocations to recruit new teachers among several projects.

Reacting to the APC statement on recent deployment of Ad-hoc teachers, PDP said the state government was on the verge of releasing employment letters to teachers when the Federal Government stopped Osun local government allocations in contravention of subsisting court judgements.

According to the PDP, this APC-led federal government withheld Osun local government allocations as a failed ploy to stop the various developmental projects being executed by the current administration, warning that teachers recruitment was one of the targeted area by the APC alongside the many ongoing mega projects.

The party defended deployment of Ad-hoc teachers after their training, calling the steps a stop-gap measure before the employment of new teachers.

"The deployed Ad-hoc teachers were trained and they work under the supervision of older teachers. APC should release Osun allocation being withheld illegally so that the state government can fulfil its obligations to Osun people.

"We are using this medium to report to Osun people that APC is hellbent on stopping Osun development. The PDP government will not allow them. Osun must develop whether APC like it or not. Osun must escape cycle of under-development

"Voters will punish Osun APC for this inhuman treatment of our people. What sin has Osun people committed to warrant withholding of their allocations without any legal basis? Osun people will vote PDP and defend their votes next year August", the PDP statement concluded.

Why not kindly state your own source if more reliable so we'd be sure you know what you're talking about.

Also how did you know the interview does not exist or are you his blood brother?

Btw facial features isn't enough grounds to prove or disprove someone's ethnicity.

jesusjnr2020:
Are you sure about that?

His close affiliation with Fulani ex-muslims etc. suggested he had such blood ties which seems to be confirmed by his blood brother.

As for being an ex-muslim,i thought I saw that somewhere, but it seems it was his father instead that was an ex-muslim not him, which also makes sense.

Mrexcell:
I never even knew this pastor is fulani I do follow him on fb rip to him.

Rev Azzaman's Post About Pastor's Warning To Pray Against Death By Accident

A few months before the popular Fulani evangelist, David Azzaman (ex-muslim), lost his life in a fatal auto crash, he made a post citing the warning he received from a certain pastor to pray against death by accident, because he saw an accident in one of Azzaman's mission trips.

It seemed like just child's play and probably another false alarm that shouldn't be taken seriously until it happened exactly as the said pastor had foreseen and forewarned Azzaman to pray against.

With the benefit of hindsight, it appears the said pastor's dream and warning were very real and should have been with all seriousness, because it seemed divinely inspired to avert the danger.

However it appeared that the warning was not given the seriousness it warranted, as despite the warning, Rev Azzaman still lost his life on his way back from a gospel crusade he held in Makurdi due to an accident just as was revealed to the said pastor in the dream.

This should serve as a wake-up call to all those who were spreading the gospel, especially on the front lines where the spiritual battle and attacks is fiercest, not to take things for granted but ensure they're fully spiritually prepared and fortified beforehand, so they aren't caught off guard.

God bless

Reno Omokri in summary :

1. Double Identity Allegation
He took Wendell Similin's name & profile ; His elder brother wife had a son from a previous marriage. Reno took the name and used the pseudo-name to launch a Media attack on Former CBN Governor HRH Sanusi Lamido when he confronted Goodluck Jonathan on the subsidy regime.

2. Family Status
Reno Omokri abandoned his children from his first wife without child support and went ahead to Co-habit with his Ethiopian concubine who served his family maid (house help) in his American/ London home. He currently refers to the maid as his wife whilst abandoning a "Special needs Child".

3. Experiential Childhood Memory
Reno Omokri has a distorted childhood and prefers to claims Itshekiri his Mother's lineage whilst abandoning his father with a long unforgiving and rusty relationship with his father.

4, No verified source of income
When Seun Okinbaloye of Channels TV Politics Today asked Reno about his current source of income his response was vague. He said he owns a monitised "X" account where he earns an average of $10k dollars monthly. Half of the monetised content is an affront on Peter Obi and Obidients.

5. Story spinner & Paid PR stunts man
Omokri has been assigned the major role of decimating the Obidients and ther personality of Peter Obi through both the new Media and traditional media. Working as a pseudo mercinery for his paymasters.
