The empowerment initiative was orchestrated by the Center for Management, Human Development, and Strategic Empowerment for Youths and Women, with Rawlec Investment Limited serving as the consultant. This collaboration has proven instrumental in facilitating training programs that equip participants with the necessary skills and resources to thrive in today’s challenging economic landscape.

 

In a recent event, the Center for Development, in conjunction with Excellent Speed Integrated Services Limited, executed comprehensive Training Empowerment Programs specifically for the Obada-Oko community and its surroundings. These programs, facilitated by Rt. Hon. Isiaka, are designed to enhance the skills of participants, ensuring they are well-prepared to embark on various entrepreneurial ventures.

 

Furthermore, the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority played a pivotal role by supplying and distributing essential food and beverage equipment to small-scale business owners within the Ifo and Ewekoro Federal Constituency. This initiative, also facilitated by Rt. Hon. Isiaka, aims to bolster the local economy and support the livelihoods of small business operators.

 

The distribution of materials marked a significant milestone in the empowerment efforts. Among the items provided were 100 deep freezers, 200 fertilizer and herbicide packages for farmers, 10 motorcycles, 5 tricycles, and cash gifts aimed at supporting over 200 small-scale businesses. Additionally, training sessions were conducted for 300 individuals, equipping them with startup capital to kickstart their entrepreneurial journeys. The initiative also included a Christmas cash gift distributed to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the League of Imams in Ifo and Ewekoro Federal Constituency, Community Development Associations (CDAs), 10 support groups, and various community segments, including the Hausa Community and traditional rulers.

 

In his address to the beneficiaries, Rt. Hon. Isiaka emphasized the importance of using the provided materials for their intended purposes, urging them not to sell the equipment but to invest in their future. He reminded the youths that “an idle hand is the devil’s workshop,” encouraging them to engage in productive activities and steer clear of social vices, drug abuse, and hooliganism.

 

Looking ahead, Rt. Hon. Isiaka pledged to continue advocating for the needs of his constituency. He promised to sponsor people-oriented bills and support motions that deliver tangible benefits to Nigerians within the Green Chambers of the Federal House of Representatives, drawing from his extensive experience of over 10 years as a competent lawmaker.

 

As the empowerment programs unfold, the positive impact on the lives of constituents in Ifo and Ewekoro Federal Constituency is evident, fostering hope and encouraging a culture of entrepreneurship and community development. The initiatives led by Rt. Hon. Dr. Ibrahim Ayokunle Isiaka are not only transforming lives but also laying the foundation for a prosperous and self-sufficient future for the region.

Alaketu-Designate Visits Ooni of Ife, Secures Royal Blessing for Kingship

Alaketu-Designate Visits Ooni of Ife, Secures Royal Blessing for Kingship

Alaketu-Designate Visits Ooni of Ife, Secures Royal Blessing for Kingship

The Alaketu-designate of Ketu Land in Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State, Prince Adekoya Babajide Adefowora, on Wednesday, paid a historic visit to the Ooni of Ife, Arole Oduduwa Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, at his palace in Ile-Ife.

The visit, which is a significant step in his journey to the throne, was marked by the royal father’s blessings and prayers for a peaceful and prosperous reign.

This comes after the formal presentation of Prince Adefowora, who hails from the Ateshimara Ruling House, by the traditional authorities of Ketu Land on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.

His visit underscores the deep-rooted ancestral ties between Ketu Land and Ile-Ife, reaffirming the sacred traditions that bind Yoruba monarchs to their spiritual and historical source.

Prince Adefowora was accompanied to the Ooni’s palace by prominent members of his family, high-ranking chiefs, and kingmakers from Ketu Land, all of whom played key roles in his selection and endorsement as the next Alaketu.

Speaking at the palace, Prince Adefowora described his visit as a homecoming and an essential part of his ascension process.
have come home to pay homage to my father, the Ooni of Ife. My deep love for my people motivated me to accept the call to the throne of Ketu. This journey is not just about me; it is about upholding our rich heritage and leading my people towards greater progress,” he said.

Addressing controversies surrounding his ascension, he condemned attempts by some individuals to manipulate the process with fraudulent documents.

I am aware of certain fraudulent documents being submitted by some individuals to the authorities. I use this opportunity to urge them to desist from such illegal activities. The Supreme Court has already affirmed my right to the throne, and I call on the government to thoroughly investigate this matter. It is crucial for everyone to respect the rule of law and uphold due process,” he stated.

On the delay in filling the Alaketu throne after the demise of the previous ruler, Prince Adefowora explained that Yoruba tradition necessitates a period of transition.

“In Yoruba tradition, when a king joins his ancestors, a period of interregnum is observed before selecting a successor. This allows the community time to reflect, ensure stability, and make the right choice for the future. My people made their choice long ago, and today, they have formally presented me to our ancestral father, the Ooni of Ife. I am honored to have received Kabiyesi’s blessings,” he added.

In his response, the Ooni of Ife congratulated Prince Adefowora on his journey to the throne and prayed for a successful reign filled with peace, wisdom, and development for Ketu Land.

You are about to embark on a sacred duty, one that requires wisdom, patience, and commitment to the welfare of your people. I pray that your reign brings prosperity, unity, and growth to Ketu Land. May the ancestors guide you, and may your leadership be marked by justice and progress,” the Ooni prayed.

Unity in Generosity : Prophet Genesis Unites Faiths at Ibafo Ramadan Lecture (See Video) – Alhaji Arems

Unity in Generosity : Prophet Genesis Unites Faiths at Ibafo Ramadan Lecture (See Video) – Alhaji Arems

 

On March 12, 2025, during a spirited Ramadan lecture in Ibafo, Prophet Genesis once again demonstrated that faith and generosity know no boundaries. In a moment captured on video that has since resonated with audiences far and wide, the Prophet called an elderly woman to the stage. With warmth and conviction, he declared, “Mama, I’m the one people have blessed with this cash – open up your bag, and you can as well get extra nylon bags – take it all.” He went on to reassure her that his personal driver and security team would ensure she got home safely, eliminating any worries about carrying the money.

The heartfelt gesture was part of a lecture themed “Truthfulness brings success,” a mantra that clearly underpins Prophet Genesis’ approach to ministry. Notably, he reiterated that his annual Ramadan gatherings are unique in that he never collects money. According to the Prophet, God has made it clear that accepting money on these occasions would sever his divine connection—a conviction that has guided his practice for years.

What makes this event particularly striking is its interfaith significance. Held during Ramadan—a time when millions of Muslims around the world are fasting—the lecture underscored Prophet Genesis’ commitment to inclusivity. His actions sent a powerful message that genuine compassion and kindness transcend religious labels, uniting communities in shared celebration and mutual respect.

In a world often divided by differences, Prophet Genesis’ demonstration of unconditional generosity and his call for truthfulness serve as a reminder of the unifying power of faith and goodwill.
