Lagos State Man Of The Year: Dr. Awode Honoured

Lagos State did not just become the third-largest economy in Africa all by itself, it took the collective effort of business-minded people; the likes of Dr Aderemi Emmanuel Awode to put the building blocks, sweat wherewithal and sheer dedication in their little corners to conspicuously put Lagos State on Africa and the world economic market.

It is therefore in recognition of this that history was made on Sunday 14th November 2021 when the humble entrepreneur who sits atop a strictly conceived and birthed, proudly made in Lagos conglomerate, Special Apostle Aderemi Emmanuel Awode, was conferred with the prestigious honour of Lagos State Man Of The Year Award, (LASMAYA) 2021.

The organisers of the awards, CENTRE FOR POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND POLITICAL STUDIES (CEPODEPS) had shortlisted a number of credible men and women contributing to the growth of Lagos State from various fields and sectors of the state in a transparent public participation vote in announcing Dr Aderemi Awode as the people’s choice for the honour having polled over 6,000 votes.

The 10th Edition of the event, which will go down in the annals of Lagos State and indeed Nigeria, truly has the trappings of A-listers in the manufacturing, business and banking world. Dr Aderemi Ifaolopin Aderemi, the Chief Organiser, in his speech, reeled out the good virtues of Dr Remi Awode.

With the recipient’s antecedents, it was of no surprise that top royal fathers from Lagos State brought their weight to bear as a testimony to the laudable achievement of Dr Awode, for whom it is not a big deal, but in actual fact a second nature to positively affect his host community in bringing succour to them in whatever capacity it is needed.

These royal guests all pulled the stops to felicitate with the amiable man of honour. Legal luminaries, academicians from both government and private citadels of higher learning, businessmen and women, all did the needful by turning up in force and solidarity under the Blue-Roof of LTV-8 Agidingbi, Lagos to celebrate the unassuming, self-made billionaire in paint manufacturing and other allied products.

Being chosen as the Lagos State Man of The Year 2021 is not an honour in the likes of others being given out, it is unique and in a class of its own, because it is an honour earned as a reward for service sincerely and judiciously rendered to society, humanity and for posterity.

The Conferment ceremony was witnessed by Rector, The Polytechnic, Ibadan Prof. Adekunle Adebiyi Kazeem, Oba David Olukayode from Ikorodu, Dr Barrister Laide Osinjo, Sp. Apostle Adegoke, Mrs Sesan Rufai, Mr&Mrs Solomon Nwachukwu, Prophet Tolani, Prophet Alugbo, Sp. Apostle Ogundele, G.A. Agboola, Dean of Post Graduate School, KST Eniola from JABU, Mr Dapo Adeniyi-Registrar, Mogaji Solabello Adewole, Oladipupo Coker to mention a few.

The beautiful citation was read by famous Obafemi Greg.

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

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.
