  Pasan ta fi na iyale mbe l'aja fun'yawo - Beware, Dancing Senator

I congratulate the newly sworn-in governor of Osun state, Governor Adeleke a.k.a., dancing senator. As Osun state starts a new chapter in its history, I hope the new governor will learn a lesson or two from the party who lost the election to his party.
1. Respect the wishes of the people, if you believe the electorate count and that they are your boss, do what will transform their lives.
2. Being in government is not an opportunity to practice nepotism, choose the best among your ranks and other intellectuals who are thinkers who are loyal Osun indigenes irrespective of party affiliation. Not your family members..
3. Government purse is our commonwealth, it should not be looted or spent on white elephant projects. Rather, it should be used for developmental activities that will bring returns in the interim and foreseeable future. You are blessed with wealth already, the little you will oversee in Osun should not be used to lay your pocket or those of your cronies but to serve the people of Osun.
4. Surround yourself with smart people who share your vision for success and are CAPABLE to deliver for you and the people of Osun.
5. Osun is so blessed in many ways that it could generate so much to execute developmental projects without borrowing to a stupor. The tourism sector (traditional and educational tourism) and agricultural production and food processing if well managed, can spin billions of dollars for Osun. A world-class nursing and medical school that will train practitioners for local and foreign medical organizations with the agreement between public-private investors involvement - this will yield millions of dollars; we are yet to scratch the surface of what is possible with Osun's vast tourist attractions; Osun can become the food basket of the South West through collaborative investment in agricultural production and value-added processing - Ofada rice, cocoa, chocolate, palm tree products, power generation, fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc., all year round with irrigation farming.
6. Borrow a thing or two from Governor Makinde of Oyo state on how to deliver "dividends" of democracy to the people of Osun.
7. Do not be afraid to sack anybody in your government if they are not performing to what is expected.
8. Tap on the brains of smart Osun Indigenes at home and in the diaspora to lead a developmental program that no one has seen its kind before. Use all your connections to transform Osun state.
...........
There is a saying in Yoruba, "Pasan ta fi na iyale mbe l'aja fun'yawo". If you fail the people of Osun, you will be a one-term governor and the people of Osun will vote you out.
IGBA OTUN A BA OSUN OH - OSUN O NI BAJE.....

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

The untapped gold mine in Nigerian Tourism

ALL of these countries have something in common: Egypt (Pyramid; Nile), Kenya (Games; Nile), Greece (Ancient Ruins), Israel (Bible sites), China (Wall), USA (Grand Canyon, Rockies), Spain, France (Eiffel), Morocco (Marrakesh), Canada (Rockies), Australia (Kangaroo), German (Wall of Berlin), United Kingdom (Palaces), Saudi-Arabia (Mecca-Medina), Madagascar (Forest of knives), South Africa; Central America - Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Cayman Island, St. Lucia, Virgin Island, Puerto Rico, Mexico (Beaches and exotic sites), Dubai (High towers, Real Estate), India (Medical care, IT, Taj Mahal), etc. These are some of the best tourist destinations in the world. Some of them have a far worse security situation than Nigeria. In 2017, Morocco, our African brother saw over 11.3 million visitors; South Africa with their violent crime rates, saw 10.3 million, Egypt saw 8.3 million, Cote D'Ivoire our neighbor in West Africa saw 1.8 million. Botswana, a country of 2.3 million people...
