Dr, I am deeply saddened by the terrible incident at your home. No one deserves to go through such trauma. I thank God you and your household are safe. As a country, we must do better on security. Stay strong and know that you are not alone. -AA.

The early hours of today was a sad one to me as group of armed robbers invaded my house in Lekki phase one and completely vandalised my vehicles while holding my security hostage with guns. They vandalised my Hilux van and a Mercedes SUV. Lagos is not safe. Be careful out there.

The passing of His Royal Majesty, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland, strikes a deeply emotional chord. Though he departed this world at a ripe and fulfilled age, the weight of this loss is no less heavy. Oba Adetona was not just a traditional ruler; he was a

When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hastily and thoughtlessly removed fuel subsidy on the day of his inauguration, he triggered an economic avalanche that has since buried the average Nigerian under the weight of inflation, hunger, and despair. In a bid to manage the self-inflicted.

Oba Adedokun Abolarin, the Orangun of Oke-Ila is a role model. A rare example of how tradition could be an agent of change in a modernizing world. Education is the greatest asset that God has deposited on the planet. I endorse Kabiesi’s initiative. It’s a passion that I share.
