The brilliant BABATUNDE GBADAMOSI and the use of technology. What was the Governorship aspirant doing with a smart phone or gadget on the podium at the debate?

Do not mistake this write up as something else that it isn’t and let it not take away in anyway or manner from the brilliance of a man I and many have come to admire since he came on very recently to our consciousness. What one is just trying to advocate here is that anything or everything that can bring about any type of suspicion of cheating of any kind, must be avoided.

From the way he performed and like I and a few already discussed, it is obvious the man is brilliant and very passionate. And like many of us concluded, if one was on the lookout for an alternative, the one that seem to tick all the boxes and brilliantly too at that, after the debate held a few days back was none other Mr. Babatunde GBADAMOSI.

But just imagine that on a forum that I am part of, in praising him for a great job well done at the debate of a few days ago, one of the statement someone made that particularly got my attention was that, “it was like he had seen the examination questions way before hand, so maybe, he had come well prepared” in fact better prepared than all others. If that was so, then it would have meant that even if he was normally very brilliant, it would have meant like he had “undue advantage” over all the others, who must have also come to the debate too well prepared, but without the undue advantage of knowing what could be coming their way before hand! Not that I am saying he specifically knew what was coming, so he had prepared his answers. But from the looks of things, one way or the other it looks somewhat like he had some form of advantage! Even if the use of his phone was by mistake!

If the scenario painted above was then the case, then it would have just meant that it wasn’t a level playing ground at all as it was meant to have been. Let me explain what I mean as plainly as possible. Some can quickly dismiss the observation and say it was an unfortunate omission, not meant to have happened and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. But we have come to understand rather plainly according to the most basic of law that, the excuse of ignorance of the law or not knowing that it wasn’t meant to be that way does not excuse the one who has trampled ignorantly on the law or committed a mistake ignorantly, from the dictates of the law.

Check out the many pictures below of the brilliant ADP candidate, Mr. Babatunde Gbadamosi at the very recent Governorship Debate, where he was resoundingly brilliant. In the 4 pictures attached you would have noticed in his hand what is his ‘phone’ and in this case, it’s most probably a smart phone of the best kind. We don’t need to talk about make or brand here, as a smart phone is smart phone and what it does or how it works is why it is called a smart phone. We all know what a gadget in this 22nd century can do in the hands of a geek or any of those brilliant, young minds who knows how to use it to the best advantage. One of those things that’s possible to do is the ability to source for information at the speed of light and be able to communicate very fast too. A smart gadget in the hands of a brilliant mind, means undue and unnecessary advantage against all others. It’s like a student in the examination hall sitting for his/her papers, having in his or her hand, a tool or gadget where he or she can source for answers and solutions to questions and problems at the speed of light.

For a better understanding of things, let’s create the scenario. There are about 5 to 6 of you on a podium and a general question is thrown to everyone and you are not the 1st person to get up to answer. If you have people in the audience or even at home watching, who are your aides and are super good, they could easily help you out! A general rule of thumb at such debates like this is not to have any outside aid/help of any kind in the process. Part of the reason for that general rule of thumb is so that people can just assess you as you are, someone who has done his or her research about a subject or issue very well and has come to the proper understanding of it/them, by critical thinking and reasoning may have been able to come to solutions and answers to those concerns. That kind of a person needs no aids to get their answers across.

A level playing ground that would have been devoid of any form of hanky-panky, and that no one would have been suspicious of would have been that, all the candidates of the different parties at the debate would all also have had their phones or other gadgets at hand to refer to for any reason whatsoever! But for just one of them alone, a super brilliant person at that, to have had that undue, unnecessary advantage above all else, is not a nice thing at all.

And I think for subsequent debates, that kind of advantage shouldn’t be allowed at all.

From Global Stages to Public Service: Media Mogul Fidelis Duker Officially Joins House of Reps Race for Akpabuyo/Bakassi/Calabar South

From Global Stages to Public Service: Media Mogul Fidelis Duker Officially Joins House of Reps Race for Akpabuyo/Bakassi/Calabar South

 

CALABAR, NIGERIA – Renowned media practitioner, veteran filmmaker, and global cultural ambassador, Fidelis Duker, has officially declared his intention to run for the Federal House of Representatives, representing the Akpabuyo/Bakassi/Calabar South Federal Constituency.

In a definitive move that bridges the gap between international enterprise and grassroots governance, the Henshaw Town-born pioneer has successfully picked up his Expression of Interest (EOI) form under the platform of the NNigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

Duker’s entry into the legislative race brings an unprecedented level of global exposure and professional pedigree to Cross River State’s political landscape. For over three decades, he has stood as a towering figure in Africa’s creative economy.

As the founder of the Abuja International Film Festival West Africa’s longest-running film festival, and the Regional Secretary General for the Federation of Pan African Filmmakers (FEPACI), Duker has consistently flown Nigeria’s flag at prestigious international fora worldwide. From presenting the brilliance of African storytelling at the legendary Cannes Film Festival in France to driving strategic industry dialogues across Europe and Africa, his extensive global travels have positioned him as a master of international relations and resource mobilization.

“Our constituency does not suffer from a lack of potential; it suffers from a lack of structured, globally competitive representation,” Duker stated following the collection of his nomination documents. “My career has been defined by creating wealth, building platforms, and placing Nigerian talent on the world map. I am stepping into this race to deploy that exact same global network, corporate discipline, and innovative leadership to bring sustainable development, youth empowerment, and infrastructure to Akpabuyo, Bakassi, and Calabar South.”

Duker’s visionary campaign is backed by an elite, multi-disciplinary educational background curated from top-tier local and international institutions. He holds credentials from the prestigious Nigerian Institute of Journalism and Crawford University, alongside advanced professional training from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His world-class expertise in broadcasting and mass communications was further sharpened at the globally acclaimed BBC Training Academy and the Deutsche Welle Training Akademie, complementing his academic roots at the Cross River University of Technology.

As the Chief Executive Officer of FAD Media Productions—the powerhouse behind FAD 93.1 FM Calabar, FAD FM 101.3 Abuja and FAD 360 TV, Duker is already one of the largest private-sector employers of youth in Cross River State. His legislative blueprint vows to replicate this success on a macro scale by introducing bills that will be tech-driven youth development projects, positioning bills that will attract foreign direct investment to the constituency’s coastal assets, and ensuring uncompromising transparency in the execution of constituency projects.

The NDC leadership and various community support groups have warmly received his candidacy, describing it as a breath of fresh air and a critical step toward elevating the constituency to international standards of governance and economic growth.

Ileya Tonic : King Saheed Osupa Announces New 2-in-1 Album, Acapella & Metamorphosis

By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji)

 

 

Veteran Fuji musician King Saheed Osupa is set to release a new 2-in-1 album titled Acapella & Metamorphosis on May 26, 2026.

The announcement was revealed through promotional materials shared across the singer’s official social media pages, where anticipation has already started building among longtime fans of the Fuji icon. The artwork for the project presents Osupa in a calm and regal setting, matching the mature image he has maintained throughout his career.

While full details about the tracklist and featured artists are yet to be officially released, the title of the project has already sparked conversations online. “Metamorphosis” suggests a new phase or evolution, while “Acapella” hints at a more raw or expressive musical direction. Together, both titles point toward a project that may combine classic Fuji elements with a refreshed sound and message.

Over the years, Osupa has remained one of the most respected voices in Fuji music, known for his deep lyrical style, cultural storytelling, and loyal fanbase across Nigeria and beyond. Even as the music industry continues to evolve, the singer has maintained strong relevance, especially among audiences who appreciate traditional Yoruba-rooted sounds blended with contemporary production.

The decision to release a 2-in-1 album also stands out at a time when many artists are focusing on shorter projects and singles. For established acts like Osupa, larger releases often serve as a statement of longevity, consistency, and artistic confidence.

Fans have continued to react positively to the announcement online, with many already counting down to the release date. The project is expected to arrive on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay, YouTube Music, TIDAL, and Deezer.

With the official release now scheduled for May 26, listeners will be watching closely to see what King Saheed Osupa delivers on Acapella & Metamorphosis and whether the project marks another defining moment in his long-running career.
