Bayo Adeyinka wrote:Open Letter To Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu My dear Asiwaju, I am compelled to write this open letter to you because of the state of affairs of the Yoruba nation. Firstly, I wish to acknowledge that fate has put you in a prime position to determine to a large extent the direction that the Yoruba people will go. The indisputable truth is that one may quarrel with your politics but your sagacity is never in doubt. Even those who don't see eye to eye with you agree that you are imbued with unusual native intelligence, uncommon people skills and unrivaled foresight. You, more than any other person, has been the game changer since the advent of democracy in 1999. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to direct this letter to you. My singular purpose is to tug at the strings of your heart. I am not writing to appeal to partisan considerations but to see, if per chance, I can pour out my heart to you in a manner of speaking. God has blessed you even beyond your wi...

A visit to my secondary school(Opebi Grammar School) in Lagos, I saw that our school of more than 50acre land space has been reduced to about 5acre while the remaining 45acre has been sold and use to build houses all within the awuse estate of opebi, salvation bus stop, Lagos. Now, each time I think about the privatization initiative of Oyo state government what comes to my mind is the fate experienced by my secondary school in Lagos how public schools land meant for expansion of facilities as the student population increases end up being sold by political office holders.

In addition to public schools land, other public establishments suffers same fate and I am of utmost believe that as at when due many of these criminal acquisitions would be unravell...

Two years ago while driving from Ibadan to Lagos, I was attacked at sapade by two masked men armed with two long Dane gun but I escaped because i was on top speed but the vehicle behind me didn't. Last night around 7:30pm, this time around, I didn't escape considering the gigantic log of tree placed across the road on my way back to Ibadan. Sapade is a town about 3km away from Ogere toll gate, Lagos-Ibadan Express way. It is that town before the overhead bridge to ogere when going to Lagos and after the overhead bridge when you leave ogere when coming to Ibadan. At both sides of the road, the spot has two massively dugged potholes that most vehicles may never escape at night. So, when driving along this spot, please do endeavour to be watchful and never be sluggish behind the wheel and above all, it is not advisable to drive along Lagos Ibadan express way at night because every location is a death trap due to blackout from beginning to the end. Yesterday, I moved out of Lago...
