RAJI FELICITATES WITH PRESIDENT-ELECT, ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 71ST BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY The Director of APC-PCC National Youth Mobilization, South West, Engr. Raji Kazeem Kolawole, has joined other well meaning Nigerians in congratulating the President -Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the occasion of his 71st birthday anniversary. In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja, on Wednesday, RAJI said it is pertinent and germane to celebrate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who he said is an illustrious son of Africa, considering the fact that this year birthday anniversary celebration precedes his being sworn-in as President and Commander-in-Chief of Africa's most populous country but for his discretion in making this occasion a solemn one just like the last two previous events. "Let me start by asserting that the occasion of Asiwaju's birthday is one that should ordinarily call for funfare and reverie considering his wonderful landmarks in advancement of humanity both in the country and globally", it quoted. Continuing, the statement added that "No doubt, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ranks among Global best with his unprecedented footprints in politics, industry, uncommon talents, capacity and philanthropy". It stressed that this undoubtedly has endeared him into the hearts of teeming Nigerians, who according to him demonstrated their love and trust in him by freely entrusting him with the Nation's leadership as freely expressed in the February 25 Presidential Election. RAJI stated that his indelible marks in Lagos State where he served as governor between 1999 and 2007 are there for every discerning mind to ascertain his unrivalled track records in public administration. ''Asiwaju's enduring records as Lagos State Governor are reference points in good governance, astute management of state resources, uncommon capacity in discovering young political talents and making life more abundance for the citizenry. He is unarguably the leading figure in the development of human political capital in the whole of Black Africa''. ''His love for humanity and value for human lives necessitated the cancellation of public celebration of his last two birthday anniversaries. The last year's event was more symbolic in that it was put off at the point of commencement of the public colloquium in his honor was more touching. "That he could put off a programme of such magnitude with invitees from far and near seated showed his premium for human lives above his personal celebration. The occasion was to be on the same day with the unfortunate Kaduna train kidnap incident.'' ''As humbly requested by the celebrant, I join other well meaning Nigerians to wish the President -Elect long life, good health and enormous physical and mental capacity in the service to the Nation and human race in general. "May his tenure as the President and Commander-in-chief of the Country's Armed forces ushered in unprecedented growth, peace, uncommon blessings and renewed Hope. May Asiwaju remain strong in wind and limb'', the statement concluded.

Among His Peers, Oba Orin Saheed Osupa Stands Out : The Fuji Star’s Storytelling Legacy

By Alhaji Arems

 

In the vibrant world of Fuji music, where the artistry of storytelling and cultural commentary thrive, Saheed Osupa has carved out a unique role as both an artist and an influencer of thought. Recently, his name has been lighting up social media discussions and generating significant buzz—not just because of his music but because of the depth of his words. Osupa’s trending status is rooted in his ability to subtly address pressing issues, particularly those surrounding the ongoing tension between fellow Fuji musicians Taye Currency and Pasuma Wonder.

 

 

Osupa’s recent contributions to this situation have not been straightforward; rather, he has adopted an artistic approach, using parables and proverbs—sometimes through complex storytelling—to impart wisdom. These nuanced messages, often hidden within his lyrics, resonate with fans who appreciate the clever way he brings age-old Yoruba wisdom into contemporary issues. One notable example involves a story about an animal (traditionally symbolizing patience and resilience) that many believe reflects Osupa’s thoughts on rivalry and pride. Through this parable, he seems to suggest the importance of self-reflection and restraint, especially in the heat of conflict.

Among His Peers, Oba Orin Saheed Osupa Stands Out : The Fuji Star's Storytelling Legacy

By Alhaji Arems

In a genre that values not only musicality but also the power of words, Osupa has long been seen as a master of *itan*, or storytelling. His recent songs echo the traditional Yoruba way of imparting wisdom through tales that serve as lessons. This is a skill that few artists have mastered, making his approach particularly impactful in today’s fast-paced digital world, where nuanced messages can often be overlooked.

Beyond the Taye Currency-Pasuma Wonder issue, Osupa’s trending status is also due to his reputation as a voice of reason and maturity in Fuji music. As a genre that is often vibrant and full of competitive spirit, Fuji has its share of rivalries. Yet, Osupa has often stood out by promoting unity and peaceful dialogue among Fuji artists. By sharing these reflective stories in his music, he adds layers of meaning that fans continue to unpack and discuss, drawing new audiences who appreciate both the artistry and wisdom behind his words.

The charm of Saheed Osupa lies in his timeless approach. In a world where trends are fleeting, he reminds fans of the importance of timeless values, urging reflection, humility, and understanding. As fans interpret and share his latest stories, Osupa’s message continues to resonate widely—proof that, in Fuji, the power of words can be as influential as the beat of the drum.

Coalition Congratulates Oluyede on Appointment as Acting COAS

 

The Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria has congratulated Major-General Olufemi Oluyede on his appointment as the acting Chief of Army Staff, (Ag COAS, Nigerian Army).

Coalition Congratulates Oluyede on Appointment as Acting COAS

The Convener of the Coalition, Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi, in a statement, said General Oluyede has the responsibility to consolidate the success achieved by the Nigerian Army under General Taoreed Lagbaja.

President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday, October 30, appointed Oluyede as acting COAS pending the return of the indisposed substantive Chief of Army Staff, General Taoreed Lagbaja.

The Coalition said his appointment is a welcome development. It said: “Major-General Olufemi Oluyede is well qualified for the position. He was a member of the 39th regular course and commissioned as an officer in 1987. Aged 56, he was promoted to the rank of Major-General in September 2020. A professional and top-notch security expert, he brings a lot of hope and inspiration to younger officers as acting chief of Army Staff.

“His appointment is the way to go. As the acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede has the responsibility to lead an army that will administratively manage the institution, consolidate on the success achieved by General Lagbaja and his team to mop up remnants of insurgents, bandits and the ragtag criminal elements in the North, and dismantle the ethnic militias in the Southeast to bring peace in the country.

“Oluyede’s meritorious career began as a Platoon commander and adjutant at 65 Battalion, advancing to Company commander at 177 Guards Battalion and later Staff Officer at the Guards Brigade and commandant of Amphibious Training School.

“Oluyede has been part of many notable operations, including the ECOMOG Mission in Liberia, Operation HARMONY IV in Bakassi, and Operation HADIN KAI in the Northeast, where he commanded the 27 Task Force Brigade.

“He has received honours, including the Corps Medal of Honour, and Grand Service Star, all recognition for passing the Staff Course and membership in the National Institute, and his dedication and achievements in service.”
