TAKEAWAY FROM THE GRAND-FINALE

Homecoming 'different from Cathedral'... Shall I Begin?

1. To our God, the Most Merciful, The Most Beneficient. I plant my feet firmly on d duly established protocols, Lagos received his own, the Son of the Soil, The Lion of Bourdillon is here.

2. The smallest state in Nigeria but d most populated was almost not big enough to receive d Jagaban and d millions earnestly waiting to give him a glorious welcome.

3. Ofcos Lagos isn't an unfamiliar terrain for Indigenous Political Titans..The boisterous city produced d Great

-Herbert Macaulay, known as d Father of Nationalism, d founder of d 1st well organized political party in Nigeria in 1923 (NNDP) with motto 'salus populi suprema lex' - 'the safety of d people is d greatest law'. He would later form d NCNC at age 80 which went on

-to produce Nnamdi Azikwe as d 1st president. D grandson of Bishop Ajayi Crowther was an Icon indeed. Mentioned in that breathe are Greats like Baba Jakande, Otedola, Dapo Sarumi, Mobalaji Johnson, men who payed their dues and hugely contributed to what Lagos was but none raised

-a city from d Ocean, even our heroes of d past acknowledge d Unmatchable Greatness of Alakanbi.

4. And Lagos would finally present a President..D man from d city would finally occupy d Villa. D age of opportunism and accidental leaders are gladly gone. Your boss need not be

-shot in traffic for u to be Leader. And an election need not be annulled and d winner mysteriously eliminated for u to again lead. Nigeria would finally be blessed with a leader fully prepared for d role, one truly deserving of d Crown.

5. Our Dear President Buhari was again

-present, an unambiguous show of solidarity, camaraderie and as source of pain to PDP and its minions. Asiwaju made it clear, d celebration would be at Bourdillon, this is but a Thank U visit.

6.He charged us to do more than attend rallies and indeed convert d numbers to votes.

Awo got over 82% in Lagos in 79 and MKO garnered over 85% in Lagos, Eko! an air short of 70% and we may donate BAT to Borno which is certain to deliver 90%.

7. Asiwaju never suffered scarcity of gratitude to PMB, d Moses prepared to pave way for this Joshua. He bellowed to d

-high heavens BUHARI, THANK YOU!

8. He re-echoed that his choice of Shettima is void religious bias but for his courage in tackling terrorism, while treating all faiths with dignity and care. There was a Gov who saw Christians only from Catholic Lens.

9. And d 6-ft General

-once again raised his hands along with d Governor (D king of Industrialization), father and son, one to d Villa and d other a deserving 2nd term.

VICTORIA ASCERTA...

IT’S JAGABAN’S O’CLOCK 02

He asked, “What are Asiwaju’s legacies?”, BATists chose to permit Omoye to dance shamelessly unclad in ShopRite, they did not dignify the misfit with a response, they must have wondered, which planet he was when we bombarded this space with unrivaled

Accomplishments of the Man, the Myth and the Legend. I Would have maintained the dignifying silence of my comrades but today being Asiwaju’s special Day, I will choose to call the lunatic, husband material, not so he can let us be but so he doesn’t consider harakiri. He may be

worthless as a Yoruba But, but he is still our country man.

When the people cast doubt about the divinity of the Holy Quran and question the authorship and the source of its motivation and revelation, after all, Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is known to be unlettered. The Holy Quran

IT’S JAGABAN’S O’CLOCK 01

A fellow asked,

“Awolowo we know, his legacies we can see, BATists should tell us what really is Asiwaju’s legacy?”

When have idiots ever agreed to the counsel of the wise, or failures acknowledge the accomplishment of their betters; the harshest

..questions are usually asked by nonentities not interested in answers.

Talking of Awo, some of his old foes in Northern Nigeria who later became editors of the ‘New Nigeria’ tabloid derided Awo’s philosophical thoughts as “mere rantings”. Infact, in one of their editorials,

They decried Awo’s positions as “Intellectual pretensions which will make true intellectuals wince”. Jakande who was at the time the editor in chief of the Nigerian Tribune demanded to know who those true intellectuals were. Only that when the Statesman breathe his last in 1987,

THE 1966 COUP
The first Nigerian Coup 02...

The Ideology.

This is according to Nzeogwu himself as captured in many written documents including the book 'Why we Struck' by Ademoyega, one of the Chief plotters and some content captured in 'My Watch' by Gen Obasanjo who happened

to be Nzeogwu's roommate at the time... So before straying to this article to ejaculate folly, these are not my opinions but hard-concrete documented history.

1. The coupists believed that their immediate step would be to correct they considered the worst anomaly of the 1957

Constitution, by breaking down the country into smaller units or states. In other words, the Regional system of government believed by many (including this writer) to be our best democratic standard, which ensures proper fiscal federalism and delegation of powers among the

WHY DINO FAILED...

Having been Rep member and Senator, one would naturally expect a somewhat experienced politician like Dino to put in some serious fight in the Guber contest, but what greeted us was a stormy embarrassment, a shameful outing and what can rightly be termed as

Inglorious Send-Forth, an official retirement crusade, the quietus of Melaye's political career.
But how did this come to be?

Shall I Begin?

1. The 34th law of the laws 48 laws of Power: 'Be Royal in your own fashion: Act like a King to be treated as One.'

Conversely, Act

like a clown and you definitely will be treated as one. It will amaze you that Dino is perhaps the most certificated of all the candidates in the Kogi Guber Race but whenever he appears, Kogites do not see a candidate, they see a Jest, a Clown, a Mascot at best. They saw the dude

EVOLUTION OF NOLLYWOOD 03

The first film ever produced on video in Nigeria was 1988's Soso Meji, produced by Ade Ajiboye (Big Abbas) and that was the inspiration others needed to move from celluloid, TV shows to Home Videos. The film was also screened at the few available

theatres at the time. Subsequently, Alade Aromire produced Ekun (1989) on video, which was screened at the National Theatre, Iganmu.

Then came the Kenneth Nnebue's Living in Bondage in 1992, which was hugely successful. There had been misconceptions that this was Nigeria's

first home video, No! Nothing can be far from the truth, the home video era began long before then and there have been equally successful Yoruba movies before 'Living in Bondage', however, being an English speaking movie gave it a wider reach amongst Nigerians, as those who were

TAKEAWAY FROM THE PRESIDENT'S OUTING AT THE NBA CONFERENCE

1. Tinubu did not claim perfection and he's not contesting with God for the Omniscience Title. He admits he would make mistakes, but costly blunders will be avoided.

2. He brags with his team which he referred to as

Great minds...Tinubu knows a tree can't make a forest, even Jesus needed the 12 apostles...A leader with no known league of exemplary followers and protégés in no Leader at all.

3. He charged us to change our mindset, be solution driven, we can't complain of lack in the midst

of abundance..

4. We can't continue to detain ourselves with errors of the past..We should quit looking behind and forge ahead to a desirable future.

5. He acknowledged the support of Men and Women of the Bar for his democratic struggles.

6. He charged them to acknowledge his
