PRESS RELEASE
FULANI INVASION OF AKURE SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT; MR PRESIDENT SHOULD CALL HERDERS TO ORDER BEFORE PEOPLE RESORT TO SELF DEFENCE
The attention of the Palace has been drawn to the invasion and abrupt disruption of activities at the Secretariat of the Akure South Local Government earlier today.

The Deji and Paramount Ruler of Akure Kingdom, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi wish to condemn in strong term the activities of these herdsmen who overran the council and equally destroy the farm belonging to the council.

Oba Aladetoyinbo wish to describe the invasion as barbaric, provocative and an attempt to stir up trouble in the peaceful city of Akure. Oba Aladetoyinbo wondered why the herdsmen would have chosen to lead their cattle to graze on the farmland belonging to the council if not an attempt to create crisis in town. The herdsmen went as far as injuring staffs of the council who had made frantic efforts to prevent the wanton destruction carried out on the farm.

It is sad to say that no major arrest or prosecution had not been made by the Police since the attack on Chief Olu Falae’s farm, now the arsonists who parade themselves as herdsmen now target the local government as their next point of call.

His Majesty wish to call on President Muhammadu Buhari not to treat the issue of these notorious herdsmen with kid gloves as their activities is becoming worrisome and unbearable. Akure people can no longer tolerate the excesses of these herdsmen who are now making live unbearable with their nefarious attitudes.

Oba Aladetoyinbo wish to make passionate appeal to the State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu who is the Chief Security Officer of the State to take proactive measure in curbing the manace.
His Majesty wish to call on the Inspector General of Police, the Commissioner of Police and all the Security agencies to take more decisive action and ensure that the arsonists are brought to justice.
It is important to act now to avoid self defence by our people once we are left with no option.

Signed
Adeyeye Michael
Chief Press Secretary to the Deji of Akure

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing
