A development expert and business man who has also shown his interest in the chairmanship position of Oshodi Isolo local government,Otunba Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof has described as misplaced priority ,the lease of a building in the council Secretariat by the executive chairman of the local government,stressing that the council can build a magnificent shopping complex..

The chairmanship hopeful disclosed that though he believes that the current administration meant well by the action but consultations would have been carried out among stakeholders to determine the best approach to the situation instead of ” mortgaging our collective patrimony”

Otunba Oloyede Almaroof stated that from available records,the leases on council properties has so far generated paltry sums.

According to him “as a stakeholder and a bonafide citizen of Oshodi having pressured by concerned citizens of Oshodi on my opinion about the issues on the Sale/lease of the old legislative building at the local government.”

Continuing”I am pleased to respond to some people’s curiosity on my position about the sale/lease of local government property which has been addressed and debunked by the chairman Hon. Bolaji Muse Ariyo through his media handlers that the said property is not for sale rather leased for some years to private individual to build a Shopping Mall.”

In my own understanding, the local government chairman is trying his best to increase our internally generated revenue (IGR) in which all accrued revenue will be used to the befenefit of Oshodi people.

It is a known fact that the revenue based of Oshodi Isolo Local govt has reduced drastically unlike when we have part of Onigbongbo, Odiolowo and Isolo where businesses and industries are densely populated. All this areas were conceded to other local government during the creation of More LCDA’s in order to spread and improve governance at the local level. I believe this are some of the factors that lead to the sale or lease of the property. Coupled with expansion of roads and others factors which has reduced the size of some companies, businesses or total relocation.

However in my own candid opinion as a licensed and experienced real estate developer in which have contributed my little quota to the development of Oshodi. I believe the property shouldn’t have been leased rather it should be developed by the local government into a shopping Mall. Not just a shopping mall but one with best standard and enviable architectural design which can compete with international standard or outshine what private developer will eventually build.

Though private partnership is a welcome idea but not on a property less than 30milion on a face value. The areas of the Land we are talking about is less than a full plot. Looking at the total amount accrued from lease divided by the years of lease will amount to a peanut which cannot better the life’s of just a single WARD in Oshodi or embark on a sustainable project across Oshodi.

In 2019, the actual rents collected on All LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES JAN – DEC 2019 is just 53,865,000. ( Fifty three million eight hundred and sixty five thousand naira) Frankly speaking if all Local Govt properties can produce less than 55million annual rent, how much rent will a leased 60/120sqm property produce. Local government owns the land and with sincerity of purpose, less than 100million will erect a nice shopping mall on that land which will conformably provide employment for our people and increase the local government IGR.

God has placed the local government in an envious place. Our location and population manpower should be used in redesigning the face of Oshodi. We need to open up our markets. The local government need to invest. We can’t continue to lease our heritage we must have the vision to build. A plot of land in mafoluku is below 30million while in oshodi main market is below 50million in terms of good bargaining skills. The local government can buy properties build firms and employ our people.

Conclusively, putting up our collective heritage for lease is a misplaced prioritiy. Who says the local government can not build the said properties by itself. God on our side, we will change the narratives on how people view politicians. Yes it is possible and we will set standards together by improving on internally generated revenue (IGR) with government developing it’s properties by itself with the sole hope of increasing revenues and providing jobs and at the same time competing with private developers in the private sectors. Who says the local government can not build modern malls in oshodi. What we need are ideas on how best we can collectively make oshodi great. The possibility of a good and functioning society should begin with us.

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.
