Re:KWARA STATE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION ILORIN SCHOOL MANAGEMENT, AN EMBLEM OF DELAY.. Feedback of the post that went viral on the net about the lateness of the recently graduated students of kwara State College of education ilorin results. The Press paid a visit to the office of the deputy provost academic Dr. Mrs. Molagun today. After series of consultations, she explained the reason behind the delayed results, she said the provost has always been unrest with the issue of results, in her statement, she made us understand that, the provost also saw the post on net and was very swift in action towards all departments delaying the computation. She said, one of the reasons behind the delay was due to the problems some students have in one course or the other and without a resolution such result cannot be computed, another issue is some students who hasn't complete their project,without the completion their results cannot be computed, lastly the GSE department was said to be the one that's delaying the results computation and without their submission of results, no result can be computed and uploaded. The deputy provost academic hereby advised and pleaded to the ex-students to please be patient, saying there's is no need for organizing and coming over to the school in masses or individually to show their grievances to the school management because by God's Grace the results uploading shall commence before or by Friday. She also disclaim the rumor going around that there wouldn't be anything like releasing of results by batches, she said for example those that haven't submitted their projects wouldn't be able to see their result because it can be collated without the project, also those that have one problem or the other, like some carry overs, missing grades etc wouldn't be able to see theirs too, for this reason the management is ready to move further with those that are ready and will be solving the rest at ease when it's problems are solved. She also enjoined the students to create a good example as a product of the College, she asked the graduates to be a role model who will make people think great of the institution, and also plead them to stop the act of condemning the management whenever a problem arise, instead the right channel and procedures should be followed and that only is the only solution to any problem NOT Painting it BLACK.

IT'S NOW A SCIENTIFIC ALUTA AND NOT A RADICAL ONE:TALKING PEN

OLUWALYRICAL WRITES AGAIN TO THE WISE ONES
My View On Shaaba lafiagi and The Protesters

some youths of nowadays are not what should be called Youths because most of them behaves like children.. imagine these youths of lafiagi now writing to Abuja for the prosecution of Alhaji Shaaba lafiagi after razing down his habitat, my question is where is their thinking faculty when they were retaliating the death of their friends by throwing fire in their murderer's house? They have forgotten there's something called Law then,..and now after burning his house, they think the next step is to take him to court...
The house that was burnt, is it only shaaba lafigi that was living there or there are some other occupant.. We all know here in ilorin that kinda house will be occupied by series of people ranging from old to young... So how many people has been rendered homeless due to that act.. This is what the English man calls M. A. D MEDICINE AFTER DEATH, coz when the issue happened why didn't they take him to court in the first place then after that if there isn't any Justice then you can use the violent way..
The most saddened issue there is that 90% of the protesters are purely College of education Lafiagi students.. What a shame and slap on the face of all colleges of education, the institution where people were trained to train others, are you trying to tell the masses this is what you were being taught? We'll all keep singing ALUTA META LEMI O SE, CONSULTATION, CONSOLIDATION, CONFRONTATION.. now have you consulted or consolidated anything before confronting?.. We the students are the ones expected to put things in place coz we are believed to be literate but most of us are still stark illiterate, coz an educated man would calm down to solve any issue that engolved around him, but we youths of nowadays ain't like that most especially students,why should students be the ones pushed forward when it comes to Protest issues, when anything happens we choose to vandalize anything around us all in the name of ALUTA.. mind you WE AIN'T IN THE ERA OF A RADICAL ALUTA ANYMORE BUT IN A SCIENTIFIC AND SENSIBLE ALUTA WORLD, SO ANYONE BEING VIOLENT AND SAYING HE /SHE IS AN ALUTANIST IS NOTHING BUT A CRIMINAL.. STUDENTS SHOULD BEHAVE LIKE ONE AND THE OPPOSITE SHOULD ALSO BEHAVE LIKE THEMSELVES, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN A LITERATE AND AN ILLITERATE..
OLUWALYRICAL HAS SAID HIS OWN AND WILL CONTINUE SAYING IT TILL THOSE THAT AM SAYING IT TO RECOGNISE WHAT AM SAYING AND ALSO UTILIZE WHAT AM SAYING..
MIND YOU IT'S ONLY AFTER A SNAILS DEATH THAT IT'S SHELL CAN BE USED TO SCRUB A POT..

A MERE DOG INTERFERENCE IN JUNGLE KINGSHIP..BY TALKING PEN

A dog Interference in the Jungle Kingship
Irony of Gov.ajumobi and olubadan's kingship issue...


why should the government start crowning and naming kings? Has the yoruba culture been mudered to the extent that the government are now the ones deciding who is qualified to be a king and who isnt fit, why are they the ones telling us where to zone a kingship title nd when its deem fit to. Where are those honest elders and ifa priests and the most trustworthy kingmakers that have once lived during the period of our forefathers,the ones who will never sell the future of their wards because of wordly things,the ones who will tell you to go away with ur millions of nairas and luxurious fleet of cars which was being given to them as a gift, ones who will tell you "am comfortable living in a bungalow with my idols an 2 piece of white dansiki and sokoto plus oja with fresh air rather than living in a storey building with AC and cars with millions) please do they still exist ? What about those days that kings are like a small god to everyone which they all worship and nobody dare look straight in the eyes. Kings that will command and that command would instantly be having effect. Please where are all these kind of brave and wonderful Kings.we've heard of Jaja of opobo,what about afonja who died in the line of defending his kingdom and people,Queen amina of zaria nko ? A brave woman in the war front. Abi we should talk about moremi ajasooro! Of offa, Oranmiyan nko ,his impact while alive and even after dead is a story that cannot be forgotten.
Now why are government officials interfering in our culture is a question we are supposed to be posing and stone throwing to our corrupt kings in yoruba land, how many times have we seen or heard about dangote,or any other hausa influential directing or imposing a decision or even check and balancing for the sultan of sokoto,kaduna,kano or any other emir in the northern Nigeria,even Ilorin that is being imprisoned by a government official family,decisions isn't being made for the Emir there.
In the yoruba land we have just 3 main and most fearful kingship positions, that is OONI OF IFE, ALAAFIN OF OYO AND OKUOPOLOPOLO OF BENIN KINGDOM..these positions are being held by high esteemed personels..let's leave that aside.
Why would a common governor start installing kings all around ibadan area, is he a kingmaker? And the high ibadan cheifs that were given the titles also accepted just like that without thinking twice YORUBAAA!!!YORUBA!!!!YORUBA!!!! Why are we always self centred and we don't even think about the future of our children, if the other Kings of yoruba land are folding their arms and not saying anything about the matter that means they have eaten plantaing and cannot speak the truth anymore,  the youths are fearless of any politician. We stand against the illegal  imposition and enthroning of any wuruwuru and malicious ignoramus kings in Ibadan..Oba lamidi Alaafin of oyo empire is enough..oosa bi afin ni Alaafin,Ajumobi kai! Ko se e rifin ma danwo..Oba o ki n pe meji laafin nile Yoruba,eewo ni....

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has sacked his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi.

A statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said Adelusi was relieved of his duty over “dereliction of duty.”

The statement, which was announced on the state-owned radio station, did not explain the specific offence committed by Adelusi.

But a source in the Governor’s Office said Adelusi was sacked because he failed to organise adequate media coverage for the Eid prayer in Ado Ekiti, which the governor attended on Friday.

Olayinka said, “The governor was livid that there were no journalists in his entourage and that they were not on the ground to cover his entry into the prayer ground.

“The governor felt he had taken more than enough from the gentleman and ordered his sacking.

“The CPS, however, said he was not aware of the event because it was not officially communicated to him.

“He said there was no way he could have arranged for a media coverage for an event he was not aware of. But we hope the matter can be resolved because the governor has a large heart.”

When contacted by our correspondent, Olayinka confirmed the development. He explained that he issued the statement based on the directive of the governor.

He, however, failed to provide further details on the incident.

Attempts by our correspondent to speak with Adelusi on the issue was unsuccessful as he did not respond to calls made to his mobile phone and also to the text message sent to him as of the time of filing this report.

She's Better Than some young Nigerian Ladies - Young Man Who Married Old White woman in US

While speaking in an exclusive interview with Punch newspaper, US-based Nigerian man, Muiz Adebiyi, who became famous after his wedding photos with an older American woman, Susan Smith, went viral online, openend up on why he took the decision to marry an older partner, his experience in the over two-year-old marriage and many more.

Below is the interview between muiz and the press
 
What attracted you to your wife despite the obvious disparity in your ages?

I am attracted to her because she is very cool, loving, understanding and protective. She has a better behaviour than slay mamas.

How long did you know her before you proposed?

We had known each other for two years before we decided to get married three years after.

Was there any initial opposition from either your family or hers?

There were issues like that but our family members later understood that age is just a number and that love does not have limit. We are quite in love and happy with ourselves.

What is the exact age difference between the two of you?

I can't disclose that to you.

What profession are you into?

I am a soccer player and also a car dealer.

When there are disagreements between the two of you, who apologies first?

We both apologise when there are disagreements. But she does that first and more than I do because she is a wise wife who knows that the husband is the head of the house. She knows what marriage means.

Some people would expect you to marry a younger lady.  How would you react to that ?

I usually do not reply them because they do not know what love is all about. Everybody has their choice. I know that some will praise us and some will not.

Has there been any embarrassing moment on account of your marriage to her?

No, there has been no such thing.

Tell us about your wife.

She is a nurse and from the United States of America. She is a short person but with a high intellect. She is quite understanding and the best woman in my life after my mother.

Some people believe you chose her to get a permanent stay or something related. What do you have to say to that?

Yes, I know that most people will think that way. But I do not care because I was already a US citizen and that’s not from her.

Was she ever married?

Yes, she was married.

Most Africans are particular about children. Did you put that into consideration in making your decision too?

It is a self decision and that does not concern anyone.

Why did You called some people haters while celebrating the second anniversary of your marriage on Facebook recently. Who are they and what roles did they play in the entire affair to be so labelled?

I will not disclose that.

Does she speak Yoruba language?

Yes, she speaks Yoruba.
Having dated a Nigerian lady and now married to an older American, what comparison can you make between the two?
My wife is far better than Nigerian ladies in every positive way. She is a wife material.
