shoerack6: It's today I know we have useless moderators. Even when you give them instructions, they don't adhere to it.

Madam! You want your problem to be solved and you don't want it to take front page? You've got alotta issues if I must tell you the truth.I would not have read this if it was not on front page. More so,this is just like a blog in which you put attractive stories on the headline and which yours is one of them. I can see through your profile that you are new to Nairaland but atleast, you should know that as people comment,it makes the story more popular and thereby attracting other commentators hence,the need to hit the headline...I believe,in all, you would have picked one or two worthy advices here cos thats the basic instead of complaining about hitting the front page afterall,your pic is not there if you are concern about protecting your identity.

Good job at the OP,I actually first read of Oyenusi and his exploit on .com.Though it was with pictorial illustrations too but I don't think it was as detailed as this....Keep it up!

From Saki,Oyo State:

Tonto Dikeh,I too much love that baby

Wow! That is a salient observation that escaped my mind but your contribution is immensely appreciated.

My childhood was awesome, thanks to many beautiful sceneries of nature which I was exposed to in the hinterland community which I grew up. However, several other factors added to the glitz and glamour with which my childhood was enamoured, one of which were the Yoruba movies we watched back then. Numerous Yoruba movies came from stables of hard-working producers as presented by their makers then.

Up till this present moment, I remember with nostalgia; those emotional scenes in Yoruba movies, those didactic story lines in movies, the captivating suspense in Yoruba films, and to cap it all, the display of professionalism by the crew.

What I perceive in the actors of those days was commitment and rare display of hardwork in them, while they may be out to make money, they were also there to satisfy their audience to the best of their ability. They promoted our cultural values too.

Sadly, those good qualities and features that made Yoruba movie industry outshined every other bloc of Nollywood are no longer seen in their story-writing, film-casting and professional duty any more. Alas! What has become of Yoruba film industry? Mediocrity is now the order of the day. A movie maker’s major concern is to make money, not mindful of the criticisms and scrutiny from audience and movie experts out there. No element of suspense, diction, and some other attractive features.

Apart from what some people termed “soft porn” which Nollywood has been selling out to the public, Yoruba movie industry has even sank deep into the of abyss of teaching the young ones bad character. This latest trend has further worsened the already bad situation. Nollywood has joined the band of series of factors that have influenced the entrenchment of immorality in our society.

The current trend is the abuse of beautifully crafted religious names, and the portrayal of bad characters through such names. Names like Sunday, Kudirat, Aminat, Monday, Jonathan, Munir, Jeleel have been corrupted by Yoruba film makers under the portrayal of different ridiculous and debilitating characters. Characters under most of these names are depicted through many social vices ranging from hooliganism, armed robbery, prostitution, drug abuse hence, further compounding the woes of a morally bankrupt society which we find ourselves. They often portray characters of criminals with these sacred names which mostly have their roots in the Holy Books. But our movie makers care less about this in as much as they are smiling to the bank. All in the name of entertainment, they have neglected the sacredness of religion as peculiar to the Nigerian society.

The pioneers of acting and movie making profession; dead and alive never had the aim of turning religious tenets to laughing stock neither did they have the intention to swindle their audience by producing movies unworthy of the Nigerian society. As much as they were out to entertain, they also sought to educate their audience. But what do we have today, mockery of religious values under the guise of acting comedies. When current set of movie-makers are supposed to look into the mistakes of their predecessors and improve upon them while availing themselves of the opportunity of modern technology in promoting their work, they are shamelessly retrogressing. This retrogression and lack of professionalism is manifestly developing into a malignant cankerworm which if not checked, it may pose a dangerous threat to the development of movie industry. Already, most kids of today are becoming big fans of foreign movies because they see Nigerian films as lacking those captivating scenes.

Summarily, this piece is a passionate appeal from a fan of Yoruba movie industry that all stakeholders heed the popular call and make amends where necessary. I am sure I have spoken the mind of many fans who do not know where to direct their complaint. I emphatically call on Nollywood stakeholders and Yoruba movie-makers in particular, to please take necessary steps to arrest the ugly trend. I believe with this, Yoruba movie industry can rub shoulders with any industry in the world as it gets back on track. They should help in building our society and not further worsening the societal maladies through their movies.

Fynestboi: expectng MORE OF THIS

As we all know that the major problem many faculties of law have had to battle with lack of qualified manpower,Faculty of Law, UI is not exempted from this. As of present, they only have two professors; Profs. Yemisi Bamgbose and Adeniyi Olatunbosun. Infact, the latter just got a fresh appointment and he was chosen as the new dean succeeding the former, Yemisi Bamgbose after she had overstayed in office due to the fact that there was no other lecturer in the faculty with requisite qualification to become the dean. It was in the light of this that Adeniyi Olatunbosun transferred from OAU where he had been denied the deanship position, to UI and got appointed as the dean upon resumption of duty. Apart from these two professors, the rest are misters. Even the former dean, Yemisi Bamgbose was a mere Ph.D holder when she was appointed as dean due to the dearth of qualified hands.In case you are in doubt, make your investigation among sincere and dispassionate students of that faculty.I am not a student of Law,UI, I am of the faculty of Law,OAU but I know what is going on in that faculty cos I know those who are directly involved there in UI

...I rep IfeLaw2013
I never thought of studying Law, then, it was either History or English Language but as fate would have it, error on either JAMB or OAU landed me in Faculty of Law, OAU. Undoubtedly, all of us that chose Law as second choice in that year found that Law had become first choice on our post JAMB slip that year. Today, i'm Law school-bound and i would say the experience has been a chequered one.... I hope to get to the peak of the profession...
Also, I love Nairaland and i came in contact with it during the 2009 ASUU strike and I was catching fun the booing and jeering of one another here then. Nairaland is a nice forum to catch fun though.

The way people bandy figures these days is amazing, they just throw figures here and there. Who conducted the statistics of Igbo population that they arrived at such figure. Moreso, by implication, Yoruba,Hausa and the South-South people in Lagos constitute the remaining less than 55% while Igbos are over 45%. If that is so, they should dominate the political terrain in Lagos State, they should have atleast produced one governor of Igbo origin in Lagos State or rather they should install one traditional ruler in one part of Lagos. We have tolerated these "Ajokuta mamumi" too much that they now see themselves as overlords grandstanding on the affairs of Lagos. ACN has sold our pride and dignity to them even, Joe Igbokwe, the towncrier can open his mouth and say Igbos are over 45% in population. What a bizarre! Its hightime people of Lagos and SW generally said enough is enough to this disdainful grandstanding and foolish audacity of Igbos in Lagos.

Oh! I also wanted to post some of those pics here when I came back from Imo State 3 weeks ago but it escaped my mind.I tell you,that road is an eyesore,nothing less than 2 tricycles fell into the murky water on the road as it is totally deplorable.According to the information I gathered from the residents of the area,it is a federal road and Imo State govt has written federal govt severally,seeking permission to construct the road but fed govt rejected the move.Moreso,I will want to believe it is a fed road cos all the state roads in hinterland parts of Imo State such as Azaraegbelu,Aboh-Mbaise,Ezinnite,Umuagu,Itu and others have been fixed by Okorocha govt.Would it not sound unreasonable that a govt that has fixed hinterland roads would now neglect roads in the capital city.

kingbang: Its a lie. That road is not in Imo state, its in Anambra State. Rochas is working. He is the next best thing after ruff ryder condoms!

It is true,the road is in Imo State,Owerri South L.G of Owerri Township,I passed there 3wks ago when I went to Owerri.According to the residents,the road is a federal road and all entrities made by Imo State govt to secure permission to repair the road from federal govt were turned down

goldfish80: I won't be fooled to believe she's 11.

Yeah, she is 11. She attends Lekki British High School with a cousin of mine

Syenite: Which one is Emmanuel Alayande College of Education. Una go just dey change name of School any how for South West. Rufus Giwa poly, Adekunle Ajashin university, Olabisi Onabamjo Univeristy, Tai solarin Univeristy, Ladoke Akintola etc. They almost changed UNILAG to Moshood Abiola Univerity sef. Mtcheeew. Soon we will have Gbenga Daniels polythecnic or Alao Akala University. Anyways, RIP to the dead and students please stay off trouble.

It was initially named St. Andrew's College of Education and its the first college of education in Nigeria.Its name was later changed to Oyo State College of Education and it was later named after Pa Emmanuel Alayande who was an alumnus and pioneer teacher of the school.Moreso,on the above news,no one was killed though people sustained varying degree of injuries.I can confidently say this cos I spoke with one of the leaders of the Students' Union there whop is a friend.

The lady is not a student of Electrical and Electronic Engineering but a student of Agric Extension and Rural Development with Matric No:AXD/2009/05* and her surname starts with R.The guy allegedly responsible for the pregnancy is said to be a 400 level student of Mechanical Engineering.

Residents of Moremi Hall of Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife were woken up with the bizarre story of a lady who attempted to flush her precious gift in the water closet this morning.The lady simply identified as Oyin who is a 400 level student of Electrical and Electronic Engineering had locked herself up in the toilet at Block A of the hall while she gave birth herself and attempted to flush the baby in the toilet.It was the cry of the little baby that caught the attention of one of the cleaners who forced the door open and rescued the innocent child from the claws of death.The cleaner while narrating her account of the story,sai she met the baby inside the toilet.It would be recalled that something similar to this had occured in the institution last session when a foetus was dumped in the waste basket in one of the lecture rooms in the Department of Mathematics.While speaking with a nurse at the school's health centre,he said, 'the baby is hale and hearty and the mother is in a stable condition'.

THE ORCHESTRATED DISTORTION OF RECENT
COMMENTARIES OF GENERAL MUHAMMADU
BUHARI (GMB).

Our attention has been drawn to the recent call by
Pastor Ayodele Oritsejafor, President of Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN ), for the arrest of
General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) – the national
leader of the Congress for Progressive Change
(CPC) – on account of his recent commentaries on
national issues. We are aware that this is a rehash
of the stance of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor to a
previous piece of mendacious writing by Dr
Reuben Abati in his Guardian Newspaper column,
wherein he alluded to GMB as being responsible
for post-election violence in some parts of the
North in April, 2011. The subsequent libel suit
instituted by GMB revealed that Abati had no shred
of evidence for his reckless surmising. Meanwhile,
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor had used the platform of
CAN to impetuously seek the arrest of GMB based
on fiction and orchestrated literary violence by the
PDP-led Federal Government. The subsequent
appointment of Dr. Reuben Abati as the Special
Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on media
and Publicity revealed the fitting reward for that
hatchet job. We have also noted the physical
presence of President Good-luck Jonathan at the
ceremony where Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor was
presented a gift of Bombardier Jet on 10th
November, 2012.

The kernel of the latest orchestrated distortion of
GMB’s recent commentaries was done to blacken
him as supporting the insurgency of Boko Haram
in Nigeria. In fact, Pastor Oritsejafor impudently
asserted:
“He is, therefore, the prime leader of this religious
and blood thirsty sect called Boko Haram, a
movement that is based on a warped interpretation
of a strict adherence to force people of other
religions into Islam. This kind of fundamentalism
is the driving force behind his failure of each
election in the country.”

It is our view that this statement is utterly
tendentious and unsupportable by incontrovertible
facts. We are aware that, as it was before and after
the 2011 elections, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor is keen
on helping the electoral fortunes of his friend,
President Good-luck Jonathan. We are therefore
compelled to re-tell GMB’s uncompromising stand
on Boko Haram.
In a recent interview in June 2012, this is what
GMB said on Boko Haram:

“When we knew who was Maitatsine, wasn’t he
arrested, killed and his corpse shown to
everybody? But this Boko Haram, if you could
recall somebody recommended me to represent
Boko Haram. I told them the honest truth that I
didn’t know who their leadership was and I still
don’t know who their leaders are. I don’t know
their philosophy because no religion advocates
hurting the innocent. So, all those people giving it
a religious meaning are wrong. You can’t kill a
person and say Allahu Akbar (God is great). It is
either you don’t know what you are saying or you
don’t believe in it. It is one of the two.”

On 25th December, 2012 (Christmas day),
bombings took place at the St. Theresa’s Catholic
Church, Madalla, Niger State; Jos, Plateau State;
and Damaturu, Yobe State. This is what GMB said:

"Bombing other human beings to death at any time
is callous. It becomes much more reprehensible
on a Christmas day and all lovers of peace must
condemn these gruesome acts and demand that
the perpetrators be fished out and brought to
book."
The amiable General and our National leader
continued:

"How on earth would the Vatican and the British
authorities speak before the Nigerian government
on attacks within Nigeria that have led to the
deaths of our citizens? This is clearly a failure of
leadership at a time the government needs to
assure the people of the capacity to guarantee the
safety of lives and property. You can devote the
entire budget to security and there won't be any
result if there is no competence in leadership to
know what to do at the right time."

We leave discerning Nigerians to judge and see the
anomaly in Pastor Oritsejafor’s reckless call and
GMB’s unwavering patriotic stand on Nigeria’s
insecurity. Again, Pastor Oritsejafor has proven to
be, a willing implement for destabilization in the
hands of the Presidency, in the orchestrated
heckling of GMB ahead of the 2015 elections.

As we shall prove shortly, the moral rectitude,
personal discipline and patriotic love for Nigeria
by GMB is head and shoulder above what the
current leaders of the Nation possess. GMB is not
in the mould of leaders that do not match their
words with deeds. In the run to the 2011 election,
Dr. Good-luck Jonathan told an unsuspecting
Nation: “My ambition is not worth the blood of
anybody.” But truly, his electioneering campaign
was trailed by blood, tears and woes! As a ruling
President, Dr Good-luck Jonathan has caused more
destabilization of the polity through his capricious
politics than any of his predecessors in office.

Under his watch, the Nation state is tottering and
statecraft in peril, but he prefers to use negative
propaganda against those he perceives as
interested in contesting for the Nation’s
presidency, to actually evincing enviable
leadership of the country.

There are certain incongruities in the Nation state
under President Jonathan that GMB has continued
to sensitize Nigerians about, and for which the
government has continued to distort with its
divisive weapon of preying on the ethno-religious
fault lines in the Country.

· In 2009, Mohammed Yussuff, the leader of Boko
Haram, was arrested by the military and handed
over to the Nigeria Police. He was paraded with
hand-cuff before Journalists. Barely twenty four
hours’ later, Yussuff’s lifeless body was shown to
Journalists and still in hand-cuff! In a related
development, persons suspected to be Boko
Haram members or sympathizers were shot by the
Police at point-blank range. The video footage of
the incident posted by al-Jazeera showed some of
the people on crutches and made to lay face-down
before a police man bent over and summarily
executed them all.

This act of cruel injustice, coupled with the official
acquiescence of the PDP-led Federal Government
of President Good-luck Jonathan was what GMB
said to be the genesis of the bloody insurgency of
Boko haram.

· In Baga, a fishing community in Borno State, a
Nigerian Soldier was killed. The ensuing reprisal
attack by the Military left in excess of 185 persons
dead – mostly children and women – and many
houses destroyed.

· The previous prosecution of the war on terror in
northern Nigeria had been done with such
unprofessional ferocity that left tales of human
rights abuses and extra-judicial murders. The
United States of America (USA) had pilloried the
Nigerian military for this. It is on this background
that GMB expressed his scepticism about the
current declaration of state of emergency in three
northern states. With the communication black-out
over these states, are we not to expect more
abuses in the name of enforcing security?

· In May, 2013, about 60 security men (consisting
of police and State security operatives) were
allegedly gruesomely murdered in Nasarawa by the
Ombatse cult group. In a bizarre twist of the
events, the Director-General of Directorate of State
Security (DSS), Mr. Ita Ekpeyong, said he had
forgiven the killers of the service men and left
them to God’s judgment. GMB, in his characteristic
candour, lambasted the head of Nigeria’s spy
agency for this perfidious statement. These are his
exact words: “However, the Nasarawa attack is a
cult that infiltrated the police itself. The latest I
learnt from you the press is that the number of
security personnel killed is 56. The cult group
slaughtered 56 security men. The SSS boss or
whoever that said he has left everything to God has
no right to do that.

Constitutionally, Nigerians can practice any
religion they want or they can be atheists or
anything they want to be, that is constitutional. But
nobody should hurt a citizen of Nigeria and then
get away with it, not to talk of slaughtering 56 law
enforcement agents and then somebody coming
out from the system to say such a thing. It is either
that person doesn’t know what he was talking
about or he shouldn’t even be there.”

In many jurisdictions, notably the advanced
democracies, any murderous violence on the
service men is viewed with uncompromising
severity. In the same vein, there is also a
concomitant punishment of the service men for
any breach of service codes or rules of
engagement.

Last March, Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, a veteran
of four US combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq,
ran amok and killed sixteen persons in Kandahar
province of Afghanistan, while also burning their
houses and villages. The United States (US)
authority did not go the way of Nigeria. The
offending service man was arraigned before the
Court by military prosecutors. From latest
developments on the case, Bales stands the risk of
life imprisonment or death sentence. We have
stated this example to show the utter
irresponsibility and ineptitude currently pervading
the business of governance in the Nigerian state.
The Federal Government, under President Good-
luck Jonathan, had shown complicity in the
exacerbation of security concerns in Nigeria.

As a Party, we know that the Federal Government of
President Good-Luck Jonathan, like the previous
PDP administration, seems too intimidated by
GMB’s sterling qualities and previous meritorious
service to Nigeria that no effort is spared to
depreciate his status through deliberate distortions
and misrepresentation of his statements. We
sincerely sympathise with them! For the avoidance
of doubt and within the ambit of space/time
constraints, we hereby avail discerning Nigerians
some aspects of the stellar public service
performance of General Muhammadu Buhari
(GMB):
§ In August 1975, as a Lt. Colonel, GMB was
appointed military governor of North-Eastern State,
an area now comprising the six states of the North
East geo-political zone. He governed with such
acuity and urbanity that was undoubtedly the basis
for the future development of the area.

§ As Federal Commissioner for Petroleum
resources (March 1976-July 1978), two of the
Nation’s four refineries, that is, warri and Kaduna,
were built. Also, thousands of kms of pipelines
and fuel depots were constructed.

§ In 1983, the patriotic fervour of GMB was rudely
put to test when the Chadians, in a mindless
expansionist adventure, invaded and occupied 19
Islands in Lake Chad within Nigerian territory. As
the General Officer Commanding (GOC) the 3rd
Armoured corps, GMB successfully carried out a
blockade, forcing the return of the territories -and
thereafter pursued the Chadians as far as 50kms
into Chadian territory; a feat loudly applauded as
forward defence strategy at its best!
§ As the incoming Head of State on December 31st,
1983, he aroused the Nigerian people into a new
wave of Patriotism with his often-quoted statement:
“This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future
generations, have no country other than Nigeria.

We shall remain and salvage it together.” This aptly
captured what later defined the conduct of the
Buhari administration. The 20-month era of strong
leadership espoused what later became known as
‘Buharinomics’, which simply put, is an admixture
of frugality, probity, respect for contractual
agreements, expunction of all covert or overt
attempts at subjugating the Nigerian economy to
world powers and above all, the economic policy
with Nigeria as the centre-piece. It is therefore
without any whiff of equivocation to state that the
boldest attempt, in the last thirty years, at
alleviating the pains of the teeming masses was
during the enactment of Buharinomics. It was not
surprising that inflation rate inherited from the
ruinous and immediate past civilian regime was
lowered by more than 18 points, from 23.2% in
1983 to 5.5% in 1985! The Buhari regime rebuffed
all entreaties by IMF and World Bank to devalue
the naira, remove subsidies on services and
increase pump price on fuel; not even a special
envoy from President Ronald Reagan was sufficient
to make him rescind his decision!
§ As Executive Chairman of the Petroleum Trust
Fund (PTF), hundreds of kms of roads were
constructed to hitherto unreached rural
communities. He ensured the supply of drugs to
the health centres of Educational institutions. The
infrastructural development of the Country was
massive with his inimitable management of the
funds released for PTF operations. It is no wonder
that the subsequent scrutiny of the financial
dealings of the PTF showed an excellent work done
by the agency.

It is against this back-drop that we understand the
frustrations of the current leaders and their
sympathizers in the heckling expeditions of GMB.

As things stand, he poses the greatest challenge to
the continued existence of the indignity and
incongruity that the Jonathan administration
represents. The tottering edifice of the weather-
beaten umbrella of the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) is aptly captured by the well-reasoned words
of Othman Dan Fodio: “a kingdom can endure with
unbelief but it cannot endure with injustice”.

As GMB once posited, “the battle for social justice
is not just for me, or the opposition, but a
challenge to all Nigerians. Each and everyone of us
has a duty to stand up and speak for justice. The
first principle of justice in a democracy is the right
of the citizens to freely choose their leaders. This
can only happen if elections are free and fair, not
according to INEC or a bare majority of the
Supreme Court. They must be free and fair by all
counts and in all senses.”

In the run to the April 2011 elections, GMB saw
through the entire gamut of deception of the
Jonathan regime and wept. Many jeered, some
excoriated him but the discerning ones were also
inconsolable. Unfortunately, his tears are drying
up but the teeming Nigerian people are now made
to weep. Every act of the Jonathan regime is a
scripted venture in ruinous adventure.
There is
confusion in the engine room and the statecraft is
on auto-pilot. We are sure that though the situation
is sordid, help is on the way! The merger of the
opposition parties shall provide the fulcrum for
springing the Nigerian nation back to life.
Indeed, to wrestle Nigeria from the vice-grip of the
current unpatriotic leaders is a task that must be
done. Eternal vigilance is still the price for our
liberty.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Very saddening how the child that is supposed to be the glory of the family dies.

Exactly like a guy in OAU pharmacy 4/5years ago that slumped and died during a marathon race competition.
The guy was very athletic, participated in all sports and just very intelligent and brilliant academically.

That happened in 2010 and not up to 4 years

I initially found it hard to believe but reality has dawned on me.So,Mr. Alams who brought international shame upon this country has been pardoned!!! No doubt,Jonathan administration is a criminal enterprise.Those gullible Nigerians that voted this fool then should have now known that power is in the wrong hands.

donchris33: Iwu ezigbo anuofia. You no dey hear word this imbe.cile. Maryam babaginda was the first lady, she had so many projects she carried out with government money, nobody complain ooo, maryam abbacha came with her own projects as first lady, stella obasanjo did the same as a first lady, even turai yaradua had her own projects as a first lady nobody complain ooo, turai is still locked up in a land tussle after she left office nobody complain. Now everybody have suddenly wake up because it is gej. Nwanyi a ibu ezigbo onyeara. You al think you can bring Gej down? We are all waiting. After Gej in 20019 it is we igbos. No amount of propaganda can stop that. Jokers. Onyeara, akwuna hapu nairaland for we men and ga lekota umu gi na di gi.

I am bewildered that in Nigeria of today,people still reason like you are reasoning.You cannot compare the military era in which people did things with brazen attack on ettiques and provisions of the constitution.Also,Stella Obasanjo and Turai Yaradua had NGOs with pet projects majorly financed through donations but what we have here is senseless rape and abuse of guiding principles with utter disregard for the constitution,where the building of first lady's office(unconstitutional port folio) has been foisted on the public through the use of public fund to build the said office.
However,you should know that by you people's agreement and support for GEJ in 2011 election and perhaps,2015,you have mortgaged your right and opportunity just because of the selfish gain of some so called Igbo leaders.Mark my words,South-West is gonna rule this country after power returns from North before there can now be any concession and consideration for South-East.

The senator representing Ekiti Central under the platform of Action Congress of Nigeria,Babafemi Ojudu at the National Assembly has criticised the frivolous proposal for the building of first lady's office.The senator expressed his displeasure over this matter at the floor of the parliament recently said;
'I'm worried that we can be voting #4 billion for the construction of the said first ladies mission building in a nation where millions of youths are roaming the streets without jobs,and infrastructure decaying.I hope this doesn't get to the public,otherwise all of us in this chamber would be castigated'.He further maintained that;
''The office of the First Lady is in the president's bedroom.The office is not known to the law.Nigerians would be angrier with us if we appropriate the money.Already,on social media,Nigerians are cursing us,calling us thieves and all sorts of negative names.That shows the way our people feel about the leadership of this country''. He said further;
''Recently,the Federal Government released only #1 billion each to some universities that are expected to train our youths who are the future leaders of this country,but now a whole sum of #4 billion is proposed for the construction of First Ladies Mission Office which is of no developmental value to the nation.#4 billion?It appears we have lost sense of money''.

Did You Know?
The origin of the popular Yoruba cliche; 'sebi otimo,elewa Sapon' is neither mythical nor,a coinage.It is a nickname.There was a beans seller in Abeokuta called,''Sebi otimo Elewa Sapon'' which connotatively translates to ''cut your coat according to your cloth,like the Sapon beans seller''.Sapon is one of the popular streets in Abeokuta,Ogun and no doubt,this woman has made the stre...et popular across the south-west.Madam Amudat Janeth Ewusi Odesola was born in 1925 and went to Methodist Primary School,Ijoko before she started trading.Interestingly,this woman was hawking fish before she forayed into selling cooked beans in 1951.She excelled in the business such that dignitaries in the town including the then king patronised her and her fame spread beyond Abeokuta through some journalists who were among her numerous customers.
Interestingly,the nick;Sebi otimo was given to her by her customers because she only sold one big pot of beans per day,she did not cook extra.So,when people asked her why she didn't cook more beans,she would reply;''mo se bi motimo ni'' meaning; 'I'm cutting my coat according to my cloth'.That was how the name became a household name such that she had no choice than to adopt it as brand name.
Sadly,she stopped the business in 1995 after 44 years when faced with frustration from her immediate younger sister as she claimed.This woman only helped her sister's daughter who was battling with child delivery problem but her sister took it for something else, they accused her of witchcraft and fetishism.The same set of people she helped when she was rich.Life became miserable for her,she sold her only house for 1994 for #20,000 in order to survive but all seems to still not be well with this woman as she now leaves in rented apartment in Abeokuta.At 88,she has no strength to work and she is begging for help from well meaning Nigerians to help her clear her hospital bill and help her with funds for her upkeep.She was sent packing from her father's house so,she now lives in a rented apartment which she cannot afford to pay the rent when due.
