SAYS ANY PLOT OF PROTEST NOW IS A PLOT OF REVOLUTION AGAINST GOD Report Toyo C. Ngem A former Aspirant to the House of Representatives for Alimosho Federal Constituency, Prince Idris Balogun, has said that under the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, "there is no bad governance" in the country. He advised organizers of the looming protest to rethink their actions and engage the government in peaceful dialogue. In a press release he personally signed, a copy of which Civics Weekly obtained, he said Nigeria is only undergoing the "pains of reconstruction surgery", which citizens and residents must endure if they wanted the economy of their country to be healed from the fractures and injuries of the past decades of bad governance. Popular by his political brand Monika as Oluomo Kaafata, he observed that it is only in healthy Nigeria that Nigerians can achieve the legacy of prosperity they could wish for themselves and their coming generati...

LET THE REAL COUNCIL CHAIRMEN TAKEOVER FROM THE 'MAYORS' Content by Razaq Adedeji Jimoh ESSENTIAL FORWARD NOTE One of these 'Mayors' ought to be an isolated case in context of the ‘cavaliers’ theme intended here. He/she does not necessarily belong in the general tag. But by account of the origin (leadership line) and aetiology of the disease (‘Mayor’) afflicting Alimosho, he/she belongs in the camp. This being the general introductory missive of a three-part serials on the ‘Alimosho cavaliers’, he/she makes no exception. However, his/her isolated case shall be treated afterwards for the public to judge my opinion about this. As the story begins, the locals know them as council chairmen just by their constitutional designate. But their bootlickers chose to corrupt this with a foreign identity – to call them ‘Mayors’. That is alien to Nigerian body polity. Medically, a foreign agent in human body system is nothing but an ‘invasive enemy’, which the body must strive...

CONTINUED SERIAL OF 'ONE ALIMOSHO'LEADERSHIP MANTRA SPONSORED , Content by Razaq Adedeji Jimoh It is not clear if any mortal being could claim to have scientifically established the sins of Jesus Christ for which he was persecuted, prosecuted and executed by crucifiction. Beyond the intrinsic culture of envy and portentous fear of change by the Jewish establishment, no sin was discernibly or latently committed by Christ. The empirical fact of this is also established in the Bible by the expressed conduct of the Pontus Pilate. I have for long concluded that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was only walking in the fate of Christ when his persecution began in the locals of his politicians' cave soon after the primary elections of the Alliance for Democracy in 1998 and his eventual governorship victory in 1999. I would later see the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SSAP-SDG), Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire (OFR) in the simile of her own...

**WHEN A SEARCH FOR AFFINITY BECOMES MORBID OBSESSION By Razaq Adedeji Jimoh In his book – Once a Girl-child – due for public presentation soon, Toyo C. Ngem describes music in its natural value to the society. He says: “In my understanding, music is a fluid poetry with high viscosity. The viscous speaks to the witty depth of its message”. He also went further to quote Tatalo Alamu (pen name), as saying music is also “the fruit of life” because of it nexus with redemption of humanity. To confess it, I must say I could find the verity for these two writers’ view in the music of Fuji creator, the late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, to lay the foundation of this my appeal to the Alimosho politicians desperately in search of political affinity. It is only unfortunate that their desperation would become so morbid in obsession that their conducts would appear demeaning enough to pose threats to the stability of Alimosho progressives community. The Ayinde Barrister’s evergreen album in question ...
