AN ENIGMA, A GHOST AT BEST

  • We do not know his real name, we know the name he bears is adopted. He has neither denied this nor say it is the truth.
  • We do not know who his parents were.... we know the famous Iyalode of Eko was not his biological mother....
  • We do not know a single member of his extended family
  • We do know which schools he attended ... the one he submitted was not founded when he claimed he attended the school.. meaning, he used Oluwole certificate to gain admission to the College in the U.S. It is best to imagine the implication of this for future prospective Nigerian student into foreign university….
  • We do not know his real age because there are conflicting information on official documents
  • We do not know his real state of origin... we know he claims one but we know he is connected to another because his nephew was installed as a governor in one.....


His whole life is shrouded in misery and full of all kinds of questions. It reminds me of college politics when people with all kind of background scheme to grab power of the student union government at all cost..

I do not know how you can put a lipstick on a pig and call it beautiful... a pig is a pig, it will go back to the mud. You can dress him up today and curtail him, when no one is looking, he would go back to the mud. We have started seeing the signs.... insensitive spending of borrowed money for palliative that they share one 10 kg bag of rice for 147 households (check, that 10 kg will be more expensive than 50 kg bag),... gross abuse of the power and use of apparatus of government to torment and witch hunt political enemies, irrational decisions that have upended the lives of ordinary Nigerians, we see haphazard appointments across board - inexperienced minors being placed in sensitive positions and nepotism in appointment that shows as if public office is now the right of some families where you see two or three generations being appointed to the same public office. We see the same old culture where it is difficult to differentiate facts from tricks.... when obvious evidence that could shake our political direction was trashed on the ground of technicalities and one of their own came out to lampoon the justices for corruption .... and you see ordinary Nigerians who bear the most burden of failed state and unscrupulous activities of the political class come out to castigate a perennial politician who confessed to a life-style of stealing by politicians – just his conscience was pricking him. Aja tio o s’onu, ko ni gbo fere olode… A dog that will get lost in the jungle will not hear the whistling of its owner.

  THE GREATEST ASSET EVER – LAND “Every time I make a movie, I buy a LAND” – Tiffany Haddish (Actress, Comedian, Singer, and Producer). If you do not know yet, I announce to you that the greatest asset that will give you an assured return, whose value hardly depreciates, is LANDED property . Reflect on the major wars going on right now in the world that are predicated on the issue of LAND. WHY? It is one of the GEM God endows humanity with that is finite in quantity. While the human population continues to increase, land area remains the same or is diminishing due to climate change. The Russia's war in Ukraine , the Gaza war , the DRC-M23 war/Rwanda , Sudan's civil war , the Cambodia–Thai war , herdsmen-farmers' violence in Nigeria and the Ethiopian civil war … all are predicated on access to land and what is in it – rare earth minerals . So, in 2026 , if you have the opportunity to invest in an asset, think about landed property.

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO EXTREMELY GOOD PEOPLE

There is a saying in my language, Yoruba , that “Igi to ba to, kii pe n’gbo” – meaning, the good ones do not seem to last or live long. WHY? Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F Kennedy (The U.S. President who championed the civil rights movement to end discrimination; one of the greatest U.S. presidents ever) and daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , passed away today from cancer at a young age of 35. Like her grandfather and many others in the Kennedy family, she dedicated her life to changing the world. She was a passionate environmental journalist for the New York Times and wrote a book titled "Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have” in 2019 that won the Society of Environmental Journalists’ Rachel Carson Environment Book Award in 2020. Her life’s work sheds light on how individuals’ daily activities and choices exacerbate climate change issues . Tatiana Schlossberg's work focused on making complex environmental issue...
