Abiodun said the state target is to vaccinate more than 2m people from the age of 18 and above against the pandemic, adding that a 60-day window would allow unvaccinated residents to take their jabs as part of moves to flatten the curve of the virus.

He said: “We are going to give a window to allow for this vaccination exercise and that window starts from today till the next 60 days.

“Anybody after 60 days that is not vaccinated will not be allowed in our offices, schools. Such person will not be allowed to do business with us. We will chase this person in our markets, you will be required to carry your vaccine cards with you at all times.
“If you don’t have a card like this, you will not come to our secretariat, we will not do business with you, we will not allow ‘Okada’ to carry you, we will not allow the taxi to carry you, you will not be allowed in our Market. We will enforce this card. To be forewarned is to be forearmed,” he said.

Abiodun disclosed that the state had increased vaccine centres from 131 to 509 to allow eligible residents to have access to the vaccination.
According to him, the vaccination exercise would take place between November 1 and December 25th this year.

He recalled that the index case of the pandemic was discovered in the state, saying his administration’s swift response mechanism helped in combating the disease within Ogun despite its proximity to Lagos, which is the epicenter of COVID-19.

“Indeed, within weeks, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) commended our administration for efforts at curbing the spread of Corona Virus. Both organizations were delightfully impressed and expressed their satisfaction with the quality of facilities on ground, the human capital and the willingness of our administration to go an extra mile at ensuring that Ogun State did not become a safe haven for the COVID-19 pandemic”, the governor added.

The governor further declared that his administration would take the mass vaccination as part of the health measures and protocols in place at this period of pandemic.

“We cannot afford to lose our guards. We will ensure that the vaccination processes are adequately administered in our healthcare facilities across all parts of our dear state. I enjoin our people to embrace this mass vaccination towards ensuring their safety and wellbeing against COVID-19.

“And, to demonstrate our seriousness to this vaccination exercise, we will give a time window to allow our people to get vaccinated. After that, evidence of full vaccination will be required for anybody who wants to do business with government and for entry into government offices and schools”. Abiodun stated.

He noted that a total of 298,785 people in the state have had their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 148,200 people have had their second dose.

“We are not unaware of misinformation making the rounds against the effectiveness and efficiency of the vaccines and vaccination against COVID. I must say that these rumours and propaganda are nothing but fallacies. Those who are peddling the misinformation are not doing the people, nations, and the entire humanity any good. In fact, we have all seen how the vaccine and vaccination have helped in the general fight against COVID, and recovery of the economies around the world”, he said.

In her address, the State Commissioner for Health, Dr Tomi Coker said the campaign was of part of efforts to stem the tide of the spread of the virus especially during festive periods “The Mass Vaccination Campaign is part of efforts to rapidly ramp up coverage of fully vaccinated residents and fast track the return of the State’s economy to pre-Covid 19 level, therefore, we need to intensify vaccination across all Local Government Areas in the State.” Coker said

In his remark, the Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr. Faisal Shuaib who commended the State on the utilization of vaccines, saying that the campaign was imperative to avoid the next wave of the pandemic, expressing confidence in the leadership of the State and the support of the people to achieve targets

In their goodwill messages, representative, World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Dele David, General Manager, National Solidarity Support Fund, Dr. Fejiro Chinenye and Iya Loja of the State, Chief (Mrs) Kemi Oloyede commended the Government for the initiative with a promise to continue to support all efforts to keep the people of Ogun healthy and safe.

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy On Chad Presidential Election Comes To Pass

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy On Chad Presidential Election Comes To Pass

 

Advertisment

 

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has yet again been celebrated for the fulfillment of his prophecy on the just concluded Chad presidential election.

Advertisment

The election saw the incumbent head of state, Idriss Deby becoming victorious.

Chad’s state election body said interim President Mahamat Idriss Deby won the 6 May presidential election outright with over 61 per cent of the vote, citing provisional results, even as his main challenger declared himself the winner.

This is in fulfillment of Primate Ayodele’s prophecy which he repeatedly shared about the outcome of the presidential election. Several prophecies of Primate Ayodele about Chad have come to pass already and the victory of Idriss Deby is just an addition to them.

Most recent of his prophecy regarding the election was the one he shared earlier this month, a few days about the election making it known that the interim leader would win the election but there will be more issues to contend with in his administration.

Just like in his previous prophecies, Primate Ayodele assured Deby of victory in the election but warned him to be careful of attacks and attempt to truncate his government.

These were his words

‘’In Chad, Idriss will win the election but there will be a gang up against him. There will be attempts to truncate his government, despite the fact that his government will have international backings. He has good intentions but there will be complications politically.’’

In earlier prophecies, Primate Ayodele revealed that the election would favor the interim leader and that some opposition leaders would be disqualified from participating in the election. The prophet’s prophecy came through with the barring of some candidates.

‘’Chad: there will be political rowdiness, they will want to disqualify some candidates and there will be electoral violation. Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno will still have an edge except there’s a coalition. He will have an edge over other candidates. They should pray against the crisis during and after the election. New terrorist will come up in Chad, they will face a bigger security challenges.’’

Also, in a video interview, the prophet advised an opposition candidate, Succes Masra not to waste his money because the ruling party will win.

‘’Idriss will win, I am seeing Masra Succes wasting his money and energy, the ruling party will win’’

Can we meet you ma?

I am Princess Latifat Wuraola Momodu , I am Yeye Olokun Agbaye

Thank you Queen Mother!

Please can you tell us about Olokun ?

Let me introduce who Olokun is to you!
The name OLOKUN is derived from the word “OLO” meaning “OWNER” and “OKUN” meaning “OCEAN “.The ALMIGHTY GOD is the creator and owner of the ocean but placed a powerful Angel in charge(the head of the ocean who worships the most High GOD,the ALMIGHTY GOD and the GOD of the Universe OLODUMARE, OSANOBWA, CHINEKE,UBANGIDI,OGHENEetc.At the beginning of the creation of the world GOD created Okun(Ocean)n GOD rested in it.It is a miracle, powerful and healing water.GOD gave the Angel incharge unmatchable wisdom.He made Her govern over dreams, wealth, prosperity,meditation and healing.
GOD gave the Angel authority over all the water on earth.Infact because of the authority given to her by GOD ALMIGHTY She can transmit good health, wealth and prosperity to GOD s followers(those who worship only GOD ALMIGHTY )and members of Olokun faith(Olokun 1 members).
The light of GOD ALMIGHTY is in the Ocean,that is why so many people worship HIM in front of the Ocean.We Olokun 1 members believe in one GOD and we do not worship idols.GOD demands men to worship and esteem HIM as the only one and true GOD.D Angel/ruler/Queen of the Ocean worship s GOD who placed her there.In the olden days because of lack of education and civilization,the people who called themselves OLOKUN worshipers could not really pass a proper divine message about OLOKUN (GOD ALMIGHTY)to the people.They saw the amazing power of the Ocean as GOD’S n called it name an African word for GOD(OLOKUN).They were actually worshiping GOD in a way they understood it.l am the one sent by the ALMIGHTY GOD to pass a message to the world that we should worship only one GOD,the ALMIGHTY through OLOKUN faith or others.

AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE AND HONOURABLE LAW MAKERS

Published

on

SANWO-OLU MOURNS MEDICAL DOCTOR, DR. DIASO, ORDERS IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION

AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE AND HONOURABLE LAW MAKERS

We write to call your attention to the misinformation and puncturing of our rich history by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat. The Deputy Governor has been a torn in the flesh to the people of this division who had previously co-existed in peace and understanding for numbers of years as officially recorded. It has come to our notice that if the Deputy Governor is not properly contained and cautioned he will drive the division into communal clash that had previously been abolished by our fore bearers.

Advertisment

To avoid this as it were in 1979, the Deputy Governor and the type of leadership tactics he has deployed among our people may not mean or end well.

It is pertinent to let you know that the Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat is neither related to Epe by blood nor by birth. He was brought to the division by some of our greedy and selfish leaders, groomed under a certain family to give him head-on ahead of some other aspiring candidates during the 2014 Gubernatorial Elections, we are contending this to your Honourable Offices to point out the fact that he is not from here, therefore he knows nothing of our history, culture, traditions and how we do our things. By this he will be in no way allowed to dictate in that aspect to us.

Advertisment

His sudden support for the Alara of Ilara Kindgom came as no surprise because some of us are aware of his antecedence in Mushin, in the same vain, and like Mushin, we denied him the dictation and welfare of our people because he is not one of us. Ilara as a Kingdom is a town under Epe and under the jurisdiction of the Oloja of Epe Land. What is surprising is that the Deputy Governor is now helping the recently installed Alara of Ilara to push his boundaries and the narratives that he is the most superior King in the division ahead of the Paramount Ruler of Epe. Like in other 3 divisions of Lagos as the Chairman, only the Paramount Rulers are recognised as the permanent Vice Chairman of Lagos Council of Obas and Chiefs. It is written and historically proven that the Oloja of Epe Land is the Paramount Ruler of Epe Land and its environs. The Awujale of Ijebuland and as the Custodian of the Ijebu people recently reiterated this when there was issues of land disputes hearing at Lagos High Court seated in Epe.

Ironically the Deputy Governor had tried this act in Mushin where the indigens and people of Mushin didn’t let it happen. Epe is a more aboriginal division than that of Mushin.

Your Excellency and Honourable House, Epe people have been very welcoming and accommodating to all and sundry but the Deputy Governor – is giving us a lot of reasons to change this status quo, he has gone as far as involving the ever resilient Lady Doja Otedola, the wife of the former Governor of Lagos state; Sir Michael Agbolade Otedola.

He already did one successfully by installing the Grand Chief Imam General of the division to a certain section of the division who had never held such position before and historically have no right to it. He had also at one time tried to interfere in the affairs of Transport Union (NURTW) workers. This time we won’t allow him that privilege, because this is a Royalty issue and it has a lot to do with our culture and traditions for generations to come.

We as concerned aborigines hereby seek your intervention into this matter as leaders, fathers and a well brought up Yoruba men to ward him of these steps. We are peace loving people who goes by their daily routines, culture and traditions normally, we won’t allow this magnitude of the chaos he is trying to cause the people of this division, he should step back and leave us as we have been for centuries before his emergence.

Your Excellency and Honourable House of Assembly, we will appreciate as a matter of urgency if you can wade into this matter as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely
Designate of Epe Aboriginals and Indigenes

Olayemi Yekini,
Chairman.

Tunji Aberuagba,
Publicity Secretary.
