WE REJECT NOTION THAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT VICTIMS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ABUSE, SAYS OSINBAJO *Adds: “offenders should be visited with the strictest possible consequences” The notion that victims or potential victims of sexual harassment are architects of their fate especially by their attitude, dressing, or willingness to be in a compromising place with their violators is wrong and should be resisted in every situation. The victim must always be seen as the victim and not to be blamed. This was the views of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, in his contributions on Wednesday at a webinar on Anti-Sexual Harassment themed “Finding Safe Spaces for Female Students in Nigerian Universities”, organized by the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife. The event was based on the book authored by notable journalist and former presidential spokesman, Mr Olusegun Adeniyi, titled NAKED ABUSE: SEX FOR GRADES IN AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES. According to him, “the victim must always be seen as the victim. There ...

You are a rich Man. You refused to assist the poor. They become thieves and robbers. They break into your house, rob and kill you.  You are a voter. You are bribed with T-shirts, Caps, Rice that they once lied to you isn't fit for human consumption and some times #500 cash to accompany the 'bounties'. You vote in a thug. Services goes down. You complain for four (4) years and elect again for second term.  I can go on and on and on.... The question however is how much longer can this continue. Just remember that each and every breath takes us closer to our appointment with death. And we ain't taking a single dime to the great beyond.

You are a Poultry Farmer. You inject your broilers with enhancement drugs. Your daughter in the University is major consumer of Chicken and chips. You are a parent. You buy exams for your child and lied to him that he is the most intelligent kid in the world. He goes to University and studied the wrong Course. Either he drops out or he becomes a quack in that sector. He eventually gets a calamity. You are a senior government official. You take a bribe. Contaminated sugar is allowed in the Country. Your aging mother in the village gets cancer due to the contaminated sugar. You are a senior public official. You get Tetfund funds to build schools. You loot it all and make kids drop out and become armed thugs. They kidnap you, break into your house, steal from you and rape your daughter in front of you. You are in charge of a hospital, you loot money that is meant for drugs. Your brother gets sick at night, he is rushed to hospital but there are no drugs. He dies and you are left strugglin...

Global chief economist, Renaissance Capital; TED talk on Africa, author Fastest Billion said " even oil dependent Nigeria (which because of the oil price plunge should be hit worse than many in Africa) has outperformed most developed market economies in 2020 - (relative) positive signal for other SSA economies".

The story of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is similar to that of King Saul and David on many fronts. In 2014, Prof. Osinbajo was going about his business and was not scheming to become Vice President but God had picked him. He had anointed him, like he anointed David while he was tending to his father’s flock.  The Vice President was also tending to his father’s flock in Lagos at the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Like David, he too was surprised that he had been anointed but because he knows the God that he serves he humbly accepted. Since then, his story has even become more similar, almost a mirror of David’s life. In 1 Samuel 24-28, David had the chance to kill Saul but he didn’t because Saul was God’s anointed. This was similar to when Osinbajo was acting President and many people pushed him to take Buhari’s throne but he rebuked them.  Instead he continued to do is work waiting for his boss’ return to Nigeria. And when his boss returned h...

ON AUGUST 12, 20201:42 AMIN NEWS A former ex-militant leader and Co-ordinator of the National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, NCNDE-A, Eshanakpe Israel, has asked Timi Frank, to show respect and decency on national issues and personalities around the political terrain noting that he was overreaching himself and be called to order by his kinsmen. Eshanakpe stated this in Abuja on Tuesday against the backdrop of the call by Frank, for the sack of the Group Managing Director, GMD, of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Mele Kyari, over an alleged missing $2.5bn. An online medium had reportedly alleged that the sum of $2.5bn proceeds of crude oil sold recently to China was not remitted to the Federal Government account on the premise of which the Ijaw-born activist based his call for the sack of the GMB. Eshanakpe noted that Frank has no limit for misleading unsuspecting members of the public, noting that his call for the sack of the GMD, was misinformed and a calcula...

Like every true entrepreneur, she went through the mills to become what she is today. Idowu is the founder of Kyksie Drapes Events and Interiors Limited. She had a background in Early Childhood  Education from the University of Ibadan, but her love for aesthetics, which she says runs in her  family, prepared her for a path on entrepreneurship. “I started about 11 years ago— that was in June, 2009. But before then I was privileged to be trained at a reputable event company here in Nigeria, but they have since relocated to UK,” she says. “This was at a time when Nigerian universities were on a very long strike action.  I started with training in decoration and cakes, borne out of the sight of the beautiful designs at events, especially wedding receptions.” Being born into a family filled with party vendors, she had the opportunity ...
