Ooni Signs MOU Wit American Company To Build $1.4bn Technology,Agric Hub In Ife


The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi(Ojaja II) on Tuesday 12th July 2016 at his Ile Oodua Palace, Ile-Ife signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a US based company SpringPort Technological Group to build a Technology, Media City and Agriculture Incubation Hub in the town.

According to a release sgned by Moses Olafare, director of Media and Public Affairs, his huge investment came barely two weeks to the return of the Ooni from the USA where he had earlier visited to seek involvement of Africans in Diaspora in his peace and unity agenda and solicit their support for the continent on developmental projects in agriculture, tourism, infrastructure and youth development.

With the MoU, the technological hub worth $1.4bn in its first phase, is expected to facilitate massive employment of youths in Ile-Ife. After the MoU was signed, the start-up phase for master plan was to begin with investors in London and Asia.

Subsequently, the MoU would be presented to Elliot Jones representing Maya Angelo Foundation, Jason Harrison ofTredic Corporation UK and some other American/Asian investors.

While signing the MoU, the Ooni expressed optimism that the project would span development across Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria and Africa at large. He explained that the partnership with House of Oduduwa was fastened to ensure the success of the project.

“The initiative is an encouraging one and I urge the team not to relent. When I visited the USA, I met with our Diasporan people and told them that people built USA, it did not just develop. Just like the USA citizens built America, I am glad that some Nigerians in the diaspora are also keen to the development of their mother land.

“I am totally in support of the project. I have never started a project without completing it and I hope this will be completed within the stipulated time. We don’t want this to be a typical project that will start and won’t end and because of that we need to sign the MoU today. We will also be fulfilling a larger part of what is expected of u by making available the required land.”

President of Image Consulting Group, Mrs Remi Duyile, said the project was part of efforts to show that Nigerians in diaspora were ready to invest in their country.

She explained that her company was made to create the synergy between the Ooni and America-based firm when the King visited United State of America.

“As a strategic, Public Relations and lobbying Firm in the USA we were made to realise that there are a lot of business opportunities here in Ife when the Ooni visited us. We came here to verify and confirmed. Many Nigerians in diaspora are ready to invest in Nigeria if support is given.

“We are ready to invest in Nigerians youth talent. The only the challenge is that many Nigerian leaders block most of us in the diaspora from contributing to the development of the country.”

A representative of the American based firm, Mr. Muyiwa Onitilo, explained that similar initiative helped India to generate over eight million employment. According the him, the hub is projected to create employment for 1000 youths in its first phase in Ile-Ife and Osun State.

He said, “The project will deliver a modern and progressive Ile-Ife with a strong real estate, technology and infrastructure backbone. It will deliver a master planned community that will allow residents to increase their productivity.

“60 per cent of those that will be employed are indigenes of the host community. This is an intiative to improve the home.”

Another member of the team, Victory Oluwasegun explained that the hub would transform the ancient city to a world class place where children will grow with technology.

“Our plan is that immediately the students are leaving secondary school, they enrol and grow with technology. We want our system to be familiar with technology and we will be doing that in recognition of distinct features and historical figures. We developed it with a solution that caters for poor maintenance culture. With the technological hub, we will be able to advance the uniqueness of Ile-Ife to a world brand.”

Ekiti Varsity Accident: This is Unfortunate -Fayose

Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has described the death of about eight persons involved in a fatal accident which occurred Monday along Eksu/Iworoko road as unfortunate and one too many. Mr. Fayose made this known Monday night when he visited some of the survivors at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital.

The governor called on the people of Ekiti to reflect and pray for God's mercy on the State as well as his intervention in consoling families and friends of the victims. "I sympathise with them, it's unfortunate, it's not a good news, it is one too many. We are saddened but we have to take solace in God.

Reckless driving and overspeeding has cost us eight lives and some others in intensive care unit, I just want to commit them into the hands of God because there is nothing to say for now rather than to pray that God should intervene and console the families and the people of Ekiti", he said.

Politicians ways get K-leg

# Segun Oni and his Adaba Radio diatribe: My Take#

I was so busy yesterday that I couldn't give a drop of my time to the interview of my former boss and ex governor of Ekiti State, Chief Segun Oni on ADABA RADIO, Akure.

I heard he called Gov Fayose all kinds on names and I am not surprised Oga Segun Oni has been infected with the APC Double-mouthed Syndrome (ADS).

I still remember Oga Segun Oni calling Dr Kayode Fayemi a THIEF and saying that he will rot in jail. Oga Segun Oni even propelled us then to form pressure groups against Fayemi to expose his (Fayemi ) looting of Ekiti State through various means, including printing and sharing of pamphlets.

When Fayemi scrapped the University of Science and Technology, Ifaki Ekiti (USTI), Oga Segun Oni was so bittered that he rained abuses on Fayemi.

Oga Segun Oni called Fayemi a THIEF that should rot in JAIL, the same Fayemi and Oni are now friends politically.

Fayemi too said Oga Segun Oni should be in JAIL for being Ekiti State Governor ILLEGALLY and went on to remove Oni's PICTURES from the Governor's Office. He (Fayemi ) insisted that Oni must not be addressed as FORMER GOVERNOR of Ekiti State and even stopped the IFAKI DAY 2012 advert on EKTV and EKITI RADIO because Oni was addressed as former Governor.

It was this same Fayose that restored Oga Segun Oni's dignity and benefits as a former Governor.

When Gov Fayose was to return to the PDP, I still remember him coming to Oni's Ifaki Ekiti residence and on one of such visits, Fayose personally served himself food from Oni's kitchen.

I guess when Fayose was entering Oga Segun Oni's kitchen then, he was not a thief.

Also, in 2009 during the rerun governorship election between Oni and Fayemi, APC leaders (then Action Congress ), including Fayemi placed newspaper adverts eulogicing Fayose on his birthday. Fayose was called A LEADER and FRIEND of the masses then.

If today, the same Fayemi who was always going to Fayose's Afao Ekiti country home now sees Fayose as something else, how can any sane mind take him (Fayemi) seriously?

If today, the same Oga Segun Oni that called Fayemi a thief that should rot in JAIL is now Fayemi's ally, should sane minds accord any respect to whatever he says against Fayose or any other person?

Oga Segun Oni no longer sees anything wrong in the stealing of N852.9m SUBEB money by Fayemi.

Oga Segun Oni does not see anything wrong in the billions of naira stolen through Fayemi's unexecuted Flowers Project.

He no longer sees anything wrong in the turning of Oodua Textile, Ado Ekiti to LOCKUP SHOPS. It is no longer his business where the machines in OODUA TEXTILE were taken to by Fayemi and his men.

Oga Segun Oni is now in support of Fayemi’s scrapping of USTI, a fledging university he sited in his hometown, Ifaki Ekiti.

To Oga Segun Oni, the commissioning of uncompleted Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, Ado Ekiti and the State Pavilion no longer make any meaning.

Most importantly, it is no longer wrong that Oga Segun Oni was manipulated out of office through the SALAMIC judgment and one wonders what he will do to those curses he rained on Justice Isa Salami when we were pursuing the National Judicial Council (NJC) and the Supreme Court matters.

Lastly, the pains we, his supporters went through in hands of Fayemi and his men like Deji Adesokan (Jaruu) are no longer important.

I won't be surprised that Oga Segun Oni will one day call someone like Chief Dipo Anisulowo, who spent millions of naira (his hard earned money) on his election legal matters, a thief simply because he is now Fayose's Chief of Staff.

As for me, Oga Segun Oni is now speaking like typical APC members who will praise you when you are with them and abuse you the moment you leave their political fold.

This woman no go kill me with her mouth

Overly outspoken Ugandan activist, Stella Nyanzi has revealed that she’s presently dating a 22-year-old. The 42-year-old mother of two said the young man lied to her about his age as he is only 22 and not the 27-year-old he claimed. She also talks about the guilt and shame she feels as she is aware she is old enough to birth the said lover. Read the post she shared below;

'Ikoku, the sexy young thing setting fires to my adult loins and causing a rebirth of the poetess buried deep inside of me, lied to me. He is not 27 years old, but rather only 22 years old. My heart is bleeding. My 42-year-old womanhood is embarrassed for desiring all weekend for a child younger than me by twenty whole years. Oooooh, Ikoku, I have bathed my body with a concentrated solution of Dettol, Jik, and water aimed at washing off the fire of your touches, blowings, kisses and licks from my mature skin.
While the deception is silently killing me, Ikoku brushed it off with a puzzling tale. You see, he belongs to a Ugandan cult of powerful, ambitious, and talented youths who believe in acting older than their biological ages. The cult has clan elders such as Mass-Betrayor Andrew Mwenda who vociferously claims to be the oldest man around Uganda, although he is just over 40 years. Ikoku adds 5 years each year using a formula he elaborately explained to me.
This ethos of adding more years to one's age is good in as far as it encourages maturity. These young men act a lot older than their ages. They push themselves to think, invest and produce as much as people in their cult-allocated age-group.
But the disadvantage is that the corrupted age-maths entraps and ensnares gullible old women looking for love. If elongated pre-intimacy in several horizontal positions with a 27-year-old was freaking me out, the realisation that he is only 22 years old makes me shiver with shame and guilt.
What have we done Ikoku? I am old enough to be your mother. My ponani that you lovingly explored with all your probes is old enough to have birthed you twenty-two years ago. My big nipples that you lustfully kissed could have nursed you until you were weaned, Ikoku! My girth that you lovingly mounted and wildly rode is wider and older than your mother's. Why start up lustful fires in the depths of my elderly alcoves and alleys? Who will put out the hot coals you built up and left inside of me?

Abeg help me ask her: Who will detonate the bombs he hid beyond her labia minora?

The APC gubernatorial candidate for the September 10 Edo elections addressed a mammoth crowd of Edo people in diaspora in Atlanta and gave them hope for a better future for Edo state in a well structured and coordinated economy under his leadership come November 2016.

Mr Obaseki spoke on wide variety of issues especially with particular repsect to land reforms, taxation, role of diaspora remittance in economic development, agricultural development, educational curriculum, relationship between skills, technology and education and poverty reduction.

He further promised to make security of lives and property as a major plank of his government when voted into power. He particularly spoke on the advantageous position of Edo state as an economic hub in Nigeria. He identified the fact that outside of oil, Edo state is one of the few states that can survive on its own and this feat was achieved under Governor Oshiomhole and reiterated his determination to build on such progress.

On the issue of land reforms, Mr Obaseki lauded Edo diaspora for contributing to the beautification of the state through modern housing development etc, he however said that government will continue to modernize land acquisition in the state to ensure that touts and communities do not take advantage of lack of government well planned layout to extort investors and genuine diaspora Edo people.

A date that coincided with his birthday, was marked with a surprise birthday cake, the mark had all Edo people in attendance irrespective of political affiliation. The APC chairman in America praised Edo APC for organizing very transparent primaries that produced Mr Obaseki.

The APC candidate promised to run an issued based campaign and will run away from personal insults on his opponents stating that there are so many issues confronting the people of Edo state to the extent that there will be no time for distraction.

He promised to work with stakeholders in Edo state to have a look at the educational curriculum to reflect more of technology, industrialization and demand side of the economy. According to Mr Obaseki, technical education will be given a serious priority to ensure that we take advantage of the industries that will be established by private sectors investors. Edo state has abundant human resources that require training and re-training to be employable under the expected industrial revolution and commercial upsurge in the next few years.

He also met with Edo people in New York.

As shared by Abubakar Mohammed Kareto on Facebook.....


Nigerian Banker Quits Job To Help Army Fight Off Boko Haram in Borno

A young man from Borno have brought patriotism to a whole new level. Muazu Alhaji Misiya, a banker from Borno voluntarily quit his job and put his life at risk to help Nigerian troops fight off Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.

Muazu is currently the commander for the Civilian Joint Task Force in Bama, Borno State. While speaking with him, he said he quit his job of over 7 years with First Bank on 19th of May 2016, because he couldn’t get enough time to volunteer due to the demanding nature of his job.

Muazu who worked at First Bank and lived with his 2 wives and 6 children in Bama town took part in various operations, helping the Nigerian army to combat boko haram in the region.

According to him “I am volunteering because i want to help, we do not get paid whatsoever. We used to receive a token of around 10,000 Naira a month from the Nigerian Army, but now we barely get 4000 or 5000 Naira” But we are not doing it for the money and have never expected any money in return. As a matter of fact, We use our own cars and fuel them ourselves. i also travel all the way down to Gombe to purchase my own cartridges for around 13 thousand Naira”

Being a local, he knew people who knew people and had access to information. He is reported to be one of the first people to provide the Army with valuable information on  Boko Haram’s hiding places as well as their secrets. As expected, there have been several attempts to assassinate him, but he has survived all these attacks.

UK-trained Nigerian engineer Timothy Addigi Terfa is getting ready to launch a Nigerian-built tractor. Mr Terfa said: "I designed and built this tractor, which is 100% Nigerian, with a team of skilled individuals." He has called the tractor Ijodo, meaning labour in the Tiv language.

For many, agriculture is still manual in Nigeria because of the high cost of farm machinery.

Some Ijodo tractors have been sold, but the engineer is looking for more investment.

Mr Terfa wants to inspire others:

“My greatest desire is that someone out there will be encouraged and motivated to do something with the ideas they have to make Nigeria better.”
