The new president of Methodist High School Old Students Association(MEHSOSAI), Dr. Clement Obadimu, has promised that, his administration, in the next two years, will focus on entrepreneurship and empowerment of members to ensure that they can become employers of labour.
Dr. Obadimu, while reeling out his 8-point Agenda, after he was elected at the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Election of the association at the School premises in Arigbajo, Ifo, Ogun State on Saturday, promised to leverage on his explosive contacts and connections to bring experts that will train members on entrepreneurship and other means of making money even as there will be financial empowerment for members to start their dream businesses or expand existing ones.
Similarly, he pledged to uplift the glory of the school to the old time where Methodist High School, Arigbajo, Ifo, was one of the best. To realise, he disclosed that, he is already discussing with the school authority on the best approach, while exploring the option of bringing in qualified and experienced teachers who will be teaching on part-time basis to cover the lapses being experienced by the school in some subjects.
Promising an all-inclusive governance, he pledged to increase revenue generation of MEHSOSAI, unites members, increase members’ welfare, persuade old students who are not yet members to join to increase members base.
Disclosing that his administration has packages for the elders among the members, he said, a free toll-line will be opened for them to call, when in need, promising the association will be willing to assist them.
Similarly, he said, every member will have a unique identity number that will be useful to access and benefit from different kind of initiatives and programmes the administration is bringing on board.
“We have lots of lofty programmes to reposition this association to a global standard and I will need the support of everyone to achieve this. Already, I have appointed Special Advisers among you who will be saddled with given advises on critical matters. We will use committee to achieve most of our programmes to ensure everyone is involved, ” he appealed to members at the meeting.
On his part, the immediate past president, Mr. Mr. Sheyik Olasunkanmi urged the incoming administration to uplift the standard of the association, builds on his legacies and finalised on programmes he started but couldn’t conclude.
Saying, the role of President is an audacious tasks that rarely allow one time for his or her personal business, he promised to assist the incoming executives to realise their ambitions when need be and when called upon.

WHO REALLY KILLED CHARLIE KIRK?
WHO REALLY KILLED CHARLIE KIRK? by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
“Be very wary and suspicious of the people who are already telling us to stop asking questions about the Charlie Kirk assassination”- Candace Owen.
How right Candace is. Yet we must continue to ask questions about this gruesome assasination and demand answers regardless.
There can be no doubt that the assassination of the young, popular, right-wing, pro-Trump, American commentator Charlie Kirk was a professional hit which was sanctioned from the highest quarters. The question is who was really behind it?
There are many suggestions about what the answer is to this burning question but to me, from what we have seen and heard so far, the most complelling is the following.
That even though he was one of their most ardent supporters at the advent that Israel ordered the hit & executed it with the knowledge of & support of the American Deep state.
I say this is compelling for the following reasons:
1. He started raising serious questions about the complicity of the Israeli Government and security agencies in the October 7th attack.
2. He argued that they actually allowed the attack to happen in order to justify their destruction and decimation of Gaza.
3. His strong opposition to the Isreali attack on Iran & American involvement.
4. His declaration that Epstein was a MOSSAD agent.
5. His calling for the Epstein files to be released.
6. His deep concerns about the overwhelming power of the Israeli lobby and AIPAC on American politics.
7. His opposition to the curbing of the freedom of speech even when it came to criticising the State of Israel.
8. His expression of concern to his friends that Israel may eventually target and kill him weeks before his murder.
9. The post on X and by his best friend, one Harrison Smith, one week before his assasination that he would be targetted by Israel and that he feared for his life.
10. His declining of an invitation to Israel which Prime Minister Netanyahu personally issued to him.
These 10 points provide food for thought and to be sure Israel has a track record in such murky matters.
It is in the same way that they killed President John F. Kennedy, that they were behind 911, that they were behind the attack on the American warship U.S. Liberty (killing dozens of American servicemen), that they killed Count Folke Bernadotte, that they killed Jacob de Haan, that they bombed King David Hotel in Jerusalem (killing many British servicemen), that they killed the Yemeni Prime Minister and his entire Cabinet & that they control American Presidents, the American Federal Reserve & the American Congress.
It is therefore plausible & not a far fetched notion that they organised the hit on Charlie, contracted the real hit man, organised a decoy on the scene (the old man that claimed he was the shooter and that was initially arrested), are manipulating the media reports, are teleguiding the investigation & have successfully provided a “patsy” or a “fall guy” (the young man called Tyler Robinson who was dressed in black, wore a black cap & dark glasses and who has allegedly “confessed” to the crime) to take the blame for the whole thing just as they did for the JFK murder.
I have no doubt that after they finish using the patsy they will either kill him just as they did in the case of the alleged assasin of JFK in order to cover their tracks or they will conduct a show trial which will result in a conviction but which will not expose the truth of the matter and those that were really behind it.
In addition to that the authorities will come out with the crazy conclusion that it was their patsy who they will describe as a “liberal”, “confused”, “crazy”, “pro-trans gender” & “anti-fascist” madman who just wanted to kill Charlie in order to deal a blow to the American right and all that he stood for.
We see all this unfolding before our very eyes and it is an eloquent testimony to the low intelligence quotient that many members of the American public have that they so readily accept it.
The truth is that those who believe their hogwash do so at their own peril because it is very obvious that there is far more to the whole thing than the media is telling us.
They are simply trying to cover up the truth just as they have always done with such high profile assasinations & just as they did with 911 and so many others.
This is the modus of the Israeli intelligence Services & the American Deep State who they work closely with.
This is the sort of thing that they do so well.
It may interest the skeptics to note that Charlie himself complained publicly on a podcast a few weeks ago that the Israelis would come after him and that despite the support he had given them over the years he was now being labelled as an “anti-semite” simply because of a number of questions he raised about their behaviour.
To add to that is it not strange that a book titled “The Shooting of Charlie Kirk” was released on the 9th of September, just one day BEFORE his assasination.
This is bizarre and provides even more food for thought.
Now that the patsy, a 22 year old Utah student by the name of Tyler Robinson, has been apprehended and has apparently “confessed” to his relatives to killing Charlie let him tell us who it was that he was communicating with on Discourse that allegedly provided him with the rifle.
Let the authorities tell us why that person has not been identified or arrested? Is thst person not an accomplice or is he or she above the law? Does he or she have a licence to kill or to support and assist those that have been commissioned to pull the trigger?
Let them also tell us who Tyler was working for or with. Is there not a clear and distinct possibility that, as in the JFK assasination, there was another shooter who slipped away quietly and undetected? Was that the plan all along?
Outside of that let them tell us about the private jet that flew off from the local airport 30 minutes after the murder, that turned off its tracer for one hour and that returned to the airport 30 minutes later.
Who was in that plane, where did it go and why did it not want its movements tracked or traced? Why have the pilot and crew not been arrested? Who did they smuggle out of the vicinity and why did they find it necessary to hide their destination?
Again why would the Governor say that no other people would be charged and that Tyler the patsy “acted alone?”
These questions all need to be answered.
Regardless of whether they are answered or not one thing is clear: if anyone honestly believes that a 22 year old University student with no special training as a sniper or shooting and with no experience in the military or security forces can take one shot and hit his target, who was wearing a bullet proof vest, in the neck from 200 yards away and then make a cool, calm getaway without any help from anyone then that person will believe anything. You need to be a fool not to see through this one!
In my view the whole thing, including the unfolding and immaculate cover up, was planned with precision by a hidden hand from beginning to end and that hand resides in Tel Aviv.
That is the nature of the Zionists and their friends. That is who and what they are.
In all this it is only Charlie and his family that I feel sorry for. To be assassinated by your former friends right in front of your wife and young children is a terrible thing.
This is especially so when you have left such a beautiful family behind. May his soul rest in peace.

Leadership Without Accountability Is Nigeria’s Greatest Scam
Leadership Without Accountability Is Nigeria’s Greatest Scam.
By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG.com
Nigeria must reject failed politicians and demand true accountability.
Nigeria’s politics is haunted by a PECULIAR HYPOCRISY: men and women who abandon the problems in their own backyards (moral failings, patronage, broken promises, dodged responsibilities) suddenly reappear on the national stage with grand plans to “SAVE THE NATION.” The truth is blunt and unforgiving: leadership does not teleport. It is forged in character, measured in responsibility and tested in the small, daily arenas of family, community and local institutions. If you cannot solve the crises closest to you, you have no business asking for the keys to a complex, fractious, 200-MILLION-PEOPLE state.
This is not SENTIMENTALISM. It is POLITICAL REALISM. Nations do not transform because someone declares themselves a savior; they change when leaders demonstrate competence, integrity and a habit of accountability; virtues first practiced at home. Scholars have long warned that social trust and civic virtue are preconditions for prosperity and stable government. As Francis Fukuyama reminds us, societies that cultivate trust avoid the heavy “TRANSACTION COSTS” of coercive enforcement; trust is not mystical; it is a measurable advantage.
Look at Nigeria today: we are economically vital (Africa’s largest economy in many respects) yet our public life is rent by weak institutions, corruption and chronic impunity. Transparency International’s 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index ranks Nigeria 140 out of 180 countries, a stark metric that should alarm every voter who still believes slogans are substitutes for governance.
To be clear: we are not arguing that no one from a difficult background can rise to national leadership; rather, we insist on consistency. If you were a local council boss who could not balance budgets or discipline cronies; if you ran away from accountability in your constituency; if you always pointed fingers but never fixed the leaking roof at the community clinic, why should we trust you with a federal budget, a foreign policy portfolio or the security of millions?
Those who recycle themselves into power without institutional reforms are asking us to gamble our future on a personality rather than a plan. That gamble has consequences. For every headline about GDP growth or loan approvals, there are countless stories of public resources diverted, services unprovided and citizens betrayed. Consider that, even amid reports of macroeconomic recovery, corruption remains acute enough that law enforcement agencies still devote huge resources to recover stolen assets and sometimes win notable recoveries, but only after years of loss. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reported recovering nearly $500 million in one year; a welcome figure, but also a reminder that immense sums had to be chased down.
International partners continue to bankroll crucial projects precisely because our institutions struggle to marshal domestic resources reliably. In 2024 the World Bank approved a $1.57 billion financing package for Nigeria to strengthen health, education and power; funds that underscore both opportunity and dependency: opportunity because development remains possible; dependency because we still need massive external support to plug gaps created by domestic governance failures.
And yes, even where macro stats look better, the lived reality for many Nigerians remains grim. The World Bank noted strong headline growth in late 2024, but that same report stressed high inflation and the incomplete transmission of reforms to ordinary citizens. Growth without equitable distribution is a hollow victory.
So what must we do in 2027? First: reject recycled politicians who treat office as a family heirloom and accountability as optional. Look for candidates with three non-negotiable traits:
Demonstrated local competence. Have they shown the ability to manage resources, oversee projects to completion and accept blame when things go wrong? Small-scale success (fixing a primary school, ensuring transparent procurement in a local council or holding party officials to account) is a meaningful predictor of larger performance.
A record of public accountability. Leaders fit for national office have histories of EXPLANATION not EVASION. They invite audits, answer tough questions at town halls and accept judicial processes rather than subverting them.
Moral consistency. This is not moralizing, it is practical: a leader who tolerates corruption at home will tolerate it at scale. As Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala once said, “No one can fight corruption for Nigerians except Nigerians. Everyone has to be committed from the top to the bottom to fight it.” Commitment must begin at home and radiate outward.
We must also hold institutions to higher standards. Free speech, an independent judiciary, a transparent electoral commission and robust civil society are not luxuries; they are the scaffolding that prevents power from calcifying into privilege. Professor Attahiru Jega, who supervised two of Nigeria’s most scrutinized elections, has long emphasized the indispensable role of electoral integrity in making leadership legitimate. When elections are credible, politicians who fail locally have fewer ways to cloak their incompetence in national rhetoric.
Let us not ignore culture. Comedians, satirists and public intellectuals have an outsized role in puncturing the pretensions of recycled politicians. When Gordons lampoons politicians for their double standards or I Go Dye calls leaders “bad actors” their ridicule is not mere entertainment; it is popular truth-telling that keeps elites honest. Those truth bombs have the moral power to move conversations and mobilize voters.
Finally, citizens must translate outrage into disciplined choices. Voting is not a moment of theatrical loyalty; it is a transaction in which we exchange our future for competence and integrity. Use primaries, run local watchdog groups, support investigative journalism, demand transparent manifestos with measurable targets and (crucially) refuse to normalize failure. A candidate who cannot explain how they fixed a broken streetlight in their neighborhood should not be allowed to explain how they will fix national electricity.
This is not petty gatekeeping. It is survival. Nigeria’s potential remains immense, youthful workforce, diverse resources and entrepreneurial energy. But potential without structure is raw material; structure requires leadership that starts small and scales honestly.
So to every politician who insists Nigeria needs them while they have left their own political home in ruins: repair your house first. Attend the town halls. Answer the audits. Fight corruption in your backyard. If you cannot do that, stop asking for a larger stage. Nigeria deserves leaders who pride themselves on the mundane courage of responsibility, the courage to do the unglamorous work of fixing what is nearest.
2027 offers us a choice: RE-ELECT the THEATRICAL or choose the ACCOUNTABLE. We must be wise. We must be ruthless (against hypocrisy, not people) and demand that leadership begin where it always should: at HOME.
