Published by Samuel Toba-Olumide  The Egbeda/Ona Ara Concerned Youth (EOCY) have risen in strong condemnation of the recently flagged-off Five Hundred Million Naira (₦500,000,000) Micro Business Support Initiative announced by the federal lawmaker representing Egbeda/Ona Ara Federal Constituency, Hon. Akin Alabi, describing the programme as disturbing, disgraceful, deceptive, and a calculated attempt to weaponise poverty in anticipation of his third-term ambition. In a strongly worded statement issued on behalf of youths and concerned residents of the constituency, Egbeda/Ona Ara Concerned Youth (EOCY) expressed shock that such an initiative would suddenly surface only when election season is fast approaching and political lobbying for a third-term ticket has commenced, questioning the sincerity, timing, and true intention behind the programme. “It is deeply disturbing and shameful that after years of silence and absence, it is only now when elections are around the corner that Hon...

Oluwaseun Olufade: Between Two Phones, One Purpose || By Aderibigbe Yisahu Published by Samuel Toba-Olumide  In a hall filled with people, noise, and expectations, one man, the Executive Chairman of Ibadan North Local Government, Hon. Oluwaseun Olufade—sits quietly, hands clasped and eyes focused.  He is not distracted, not rushed. Resting on his lap are two phones, simple objects that speak volumes about the world we live in today. The phones represent demands. One could be for work, the other for family. One for leadership, the other for personal life. One for urgent calls, the other for silent responsibilities. In a fast-paced world that constantly pulls us in different directions, many of us live our lives balancing “two phones” every day. Multiple roles, competing priorities, and endless expectations.
