Death is inevitable, says Clergy as Fayemi, Fayose, Oni, Mimiko bid Olumilua farewell

…My father was a feminist, says daughter

Nigerian leaders and people in position of authority in the country have been urged to submit themselves to God with the understanding that they would one day give account of their lives on Judgment Day.


The Senior Evangelist of Gospel Faith Mission International, Evang. Ezekiel Falade, gave the charge at the funeral service of former Governor of Old Ondo State, Evang. Bamidele Ishola Olumilua in Ikere- Ekiti, on Friday.


The clergyman spoke just as Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, former Governor Ayodele Fayose, former Governor Segun Oni, former Governor Olusegun Mimiko, Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi, Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, and Speaker Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Funminiyi Afuye, bade farewell to the late elder statesman at the inter-denominational service held at the Great Expectations Hall, Ikere-Ekiti.


Evang Falade, in his sermon titled “The inevitability of death”, described death as a debt that everyone must pay regardless of how long they live.
Drawing from the Book of Revelations chapter 20 verse 11-15, Evangelist Falade emphasized that every man on earth, irrespective of their status, would be judged according to the works that were written concerning them while on earth.


The Clergyman who challenged the people to emulate the late Olumilua by living a life of submission and devotion to God’s service, said the former Governor served God while in position of authority and “did all he could to please God.”
According to him: “Death is the debt everyone will pay, whether you are rich or poor, whatever you are, one day is one day. I want us to start thinking about that day.
“We should submit ourselves to God, the way he (Olumilua) submitted himself to God. When he was Governor Old Ondo State, though his tenure was very brief before the military took over, He did all he could do to please God and I want us to do the same thing because one day someone will be talking like this when you are no longer in this world.”
Speaking at the servive, Governor Fayemi, who spoke on behalf of the other governors said the greatest lesson that could be learnt from the life of the deceased was that “a good name is better than all the riches and wealth in the world” adding that “service to humanity remains the greatest service one can render and not service to self”


The Governor who said the late Olumilua’s life was worth emulation, explained that the former Governor lived a life of service, sacrifice, selfless leadership and a life of evangelical compassion to the people.
Dr Fayemi described the late Olumilua as a man of etiquette and rare virtues who never exploited his privileged position for personal gains.
He said the late Olumilua would never call him because of any contract or for money but would passionately intervene on behalf of the masses, group and communities that had come to make one request or the other from him.
He said: “a couple of days ago, I expressed from the bottom of my heart what Baba meant to us. He embraced all of us regardless of party affiliation and he scolded us, chastised us if he had to but loved us dearly as long as you love Ekiti and you are committed to service to humanity.
“Relatively speaking, he served for short term less than the two years as governor of old Ondo State but his service transformed Ondo State to what it is today.”
The first daughter of the deceased Mrs Yetunde Banjo who eulogized her late father described him as a feminist who believed in equal opportunities for both male and female.
Mrs Banjo who said her late father frowned against ostentatious lifestyle, recalled how the former Governor chastised one of his sons when he bought a Mercedes Benz car, asking why he had to spend so much on the car when he could have bought a much cheaper and functional car.
One major highlight of the colourful service was a special rendition of songs and hymns by a choir consisting mainly children of the former Governor, who were joined by renowned gospel musician, Evangelist Bola Are.
Others dignitaries at the event were: Speaker, Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Oleyelogun; (who stood in for the Governor); Member House of Representatives, Hon Yemi Adaramodu; Secretary to Ekiti State Government, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, Secretary to Ondo State Government, Hon Temitayo Oluwatuyi; Head of Service, Ekiti State, Mrs Peju Babafemi, Deputy Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Hakeem Jamiu.
Others are Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Ekiti State, Barr Paul Omotoso; Senator Tony Adeniyi, Hon Bimbo Daramola, Hon Ife Arowosoge, Vice Chancellor, Ekiti State University, Prof Eddy Olanipekun; members Ekiti State Executive Council and members of the state House of Assembly among others.

The hotel, a modern and tastefully furnished establishment, was unveiled on December 22nd amidst a wave of excitement from his followers and supporters.

Taking to his X page a few days prior to the launch, Geh Geh teased his fans with the announcement, hinting at the grand opening. True to his word, the influencer shared clips from the event, including a moment where his pastor prayed over the establishment during its official dedication.

The event was attended by friends, family, and well-wishers, who gathered to celebrate his achievement. Online reactions, however, have been a mix of admiration, skepticism, and humor as netizens took to social media to share their thoughts on Geh Geh’s latest accomplishment.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
