 Pledge to Nigeria, my Country. To be faithful, loyal, and honest. To serve Nigeria with all my strength. To defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory. So help me, God.The above prayer is the Nigerian national pledge. I remember the first time I said these lines, and I think it was in my Primary School. I consider it a true prayer from the heart, committing to something tremendous and expressing my faith concerning my Country's fate, a place God has given me to live, lead, and show forth His Glory.The pride of nationhood cannot be over-emphasized; it gives that identity, dignity, and confidence that one belongs to something significant and enduring.Nigeria is my Country, and I consider her a miracle. She (Nigeria) is the most populous black Nation on earth with a very complex people spread in terms of diversity and ethnicity, and each yearns for identity and belonging. This yearning has brought about so much agitation within the Nation. I have come to see about the Nigerian spirit because it has defied logic and has created this unique voice of resilience that cannot be denied globally.Nigeria and Nigerians – The younger population- are searching for nationhood, a place that they will call their own and home. A place to dream, desire, and grow into a fulfilled and satisfied human being with dignity.This cry can be heard and felt across the land; even those who have somehow found their way out of the Country still have these tears on their faces and hope that someday not too far from this day, our collective prayer will be answered.A good number of well-meaning Nigerians have come to a place where the belief in their Country is now questionable, and they are in dire need of a Miracle to turn the Nation's fortunes around.In this Epistle of the Word Café, I have the opportunity of discussing Nigeria with Dike Chulkwumerije.Dike Chukwumerije is a Nigerian spoken word and performance poetry artist and an award-winning author. He has eight published books, including the novel Urichindere, which won the 2013 Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) Prize for Prose Fiction[1][2] and a poetry theatre production - Made In Nigeria - currently touring the Country. As of May 2022, it has been to 17 Nigerian cities: Abuja, Lagos, Enugu, Benin, Ile-Ife, Maiduguri, Yola, Bonny, and Jos.

The chamber of Femi Falana, SAN, has been granted permission to prosecute all the seven defendants arraigned in connection with the death of Timothy Adegoke, a Master's student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, whose bitter end occurred at Hilton Hotel in Ile-Ife, Osun state Nigeria under mysterious circumstances in November 2021 and was buried in a shallow grave.The Osun State Attorney-General & Commissioner of Justice, Oluwafemi Akande, made this known in a statement titled, ‘Re: Justice for Timothy, Mr. Governor over to you : OSUN STATE GOVERNMENT POSITION ON STATE OF PROSECUTION IN HOS/ 5C /2022 THE STATE VS. DR. RAHMON ADEDOYIN & ORS.'The hotel owner, Dr. Ramon Adedoyin, and six staff of the facility namely; Adedeji Adesola, Magdalene Chiefuna, Adeniyi Aderogba, Oluwale Lawrence, Oyetunde Kazeem, and Adebayo Kunle, had been arraigned on 11 counts bordering on conspiracy, murder, altering of receipt and administration of extrajudicial oath.The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Ismail Omipidan, who the statement posted on his Facebook page, disclosed that Falana, upon request by him and the family of the deceased, had been given permission to prosecute the matter.The statement further explained that on April 1, 2022, Femi Falana, SAN, applied to the Office of the Osun State Attorney General for fiat to take over the prosecution of the case.It added that, thereafter, the deceased's family wrote a separate letter to the Attorney General requesting that Falana's Chambers be allowed to prosecute the matter.It further read in parts, “The alleged case of murder was first investigated by Osun State Police Command but was later taken over by the IGP Office in Abuja.“After the investigation, the Police filed a criminal charge against the suspects in Abuja. The case was later moved to Osogbo by the Nigeria Police.“While the Police Prosecutors were prosecuting the case, the deceased family's Counsel, Falana, and Falana & Co watched brief for the victim and witnessed the proceedings.“On 1st April 2022, Femi Falana, SAN, applied to the Office of the Hon. Attorney General for fiat to take over the prosecution of the case. Thereafter, the deceased's family wrote a letter to the Attorney General requesting for the Chambers of Femi FALANA SAN to be allowed to prosecute the matter.“The learned silk's letter and that of the family were immediately processed and the fiat requested for has since been granted. The Office of Chief Femi FALANA SAN had already collected the letter conveying the fiat of the Attorney General to the learned silk.“The position as of today, in law, is that the office of Chief Femi FALANA SAN is in full charge of the prosecution of the case.”Meanwhile, Justice Adepele Ojo of Osun State High Court 1, Osogbo, had adjourned further hearing on the matter till April 25, after a no-case submission the defence counsel entered on behalf of their clients, failed.

Justice Oyebola Ojo of the Osun State High Court, Osogbo has ruled that Hilton Hotel owner, Dr. Rahmon Adedoyin, and six of his workers have a case to answer over the death of a postgraduate student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Timothy Adegoke.Counsel to the defendants which was led by Mallam Yusuf Alli, SAN told the court at the last sitting that the defendants do not have a case to answer because the prosecution failed to establish any case against his clients, which the prosecutor, M O Omosun opposed.At the sitting on Wednesday, while dismissing the No case Submission, Justice Ojo said a prima facie case was established against all the defendants.She said: “Evidence before the court states that Timothy lodged in the hotel owned by Adedoyin. Adesola who is the 7th defendant, the receptionist received the lodger.”The court also held that wife of the deceased spoke to him while in the facility but he could not be reached afterward by the wife.She called on the defendants to enter their defence.K. Eleja said in view of the ruling, the defence would enter their defense but asked for time to prepare for the defence.The case was adjourned till April 25, 2022 for opening of defense.

According to Sahara Reporters, a Closed Circuit Television installed at the Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Ile-Ife, Osun State has showed how a Master of Business Administration student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Timothy Oludare was killed.The report affirmed that the CCTV camera allegedly revealed how the owner of the hotel, Chief Rahmon Adedoyin, his son, Raheem, and Adedoyin's aide, Moshood, carried out the murder.This was revealed by Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat, in a video posted on his Instagram page on Friday, Sahara Reporters reports.Oludare had lodged at the hotel when he came to write his examinations in OAU late last year before he was murder by the owner and staff of the facility.He revealed that there will soon be a court case on the matter.He amplified that among the four suspects, three had been declared wanted as it was only Adedoyin that was in the custody of the police.He said, “They entered his room at 12 midnight. We have seen the CCTV but the police have taken them away. It was revealed that they entered by 12:00am. Who are the suspects that killed Timothy? Moshood who is like a personal assistant to Adedoyin and an accomplice was involved as CCTV showed he entered, then Adedoyin entered, and Raheem, the son of Adedoyin and managing director of the hotel entered.“After some minutes, we saw that they went out of the room. As they went out, they wrapped Timothy's corpse with a hotel duvet, and tighten it with a rope. They then put it in a big carton and tighten it again with a rope. They put his body in the boot of a car and drove out.”Hamzat said as the police continued their investigation on the matter, the family will begin preparation for the burial of the deceased.Meanwhile, The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) is calling for transparency and justice, the union sounded “a note of warning to everyone involved in the investigation that NANS will stop at nothing to expose and fight anyone irrespective of how highly placed contemplating to pervert the cause of investigation or justice.”

The Ooni's Director of Media and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare, was quoted by Vanguard as saying, "This is not the first time such rumours had been peddled. There was a time it was reported that she left the palace and the next thing, she gave birth. So, the story is not true and it should not be taken seriously.”Earlier on Thursday, the wife of Ooni of Ife Olori Naomi Silekunola, in a post on her Instagram page, said she will no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince.”She explained that she tried to make her marriage work and smiled through the struggle, but realised that she had just one assignment which is her son.“I bless the Lord almighty for His faithfulness in the last 3 years of my marriage. In life's journey, it isn't how far. Still, how well, indeed though satan should buffet if trials should come, I have this blessed assurance controlling all situations and saying to me it is well with my soul. Certainly, it is well. I made my journey into the ancient throne of Ife with faith in my heart and love for the keeper of it.“Few impressions I would love to correct. If anyone knows otherwise, they are free to come up with facts. Let it be known that this decision to move on did not come because his majesty is married to another queen. As many would love to assume, throughout our life as a couple, I was the only married wife to him. There were side attractions, but it was never an issue.“I never approached him with any revelation of any sort, as many believed he contacted me first and made his proposal known several months later.“The marriage was not an arranged one, as many have misconstrued. I never knew the prophetess said to have introduced me to him. Instead, he introduced her to me after I agreed to marry him. I was only being polite out of respect for him.“I have never been pregnant all my life before Tadenikawo; my son is my first ever pregnancy with medical reports to back it up. The girl who is said to be my daughter is my niece“I did my best to endure and make it work; many times, I smiled through the struggle, but I have finally realised I had just one assignment, my son, and when God is done, He is done.“He chose Saul to be king, and when He was done, He told the prophet Samuel I have moved on. Religion was never an issue between us; please refer to my interview on News Central TV. Instead, His Majesty has a picture he would love the world to see and perceive him as and another one which is his true self.“Today I announce the beginning of a new dawn and the close of a chapter. Today, I am a mother to God's unique gift. I am no longer a slave to my thoughts of perfection. I, at this moment, announce that I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince,” she wrote

A Federal High Court in Abuja has turned down the request for bail made by the detained suspect, Dr. Ramon Adegoke Adedoyin.Adedoyin had, in an ex-parte motion, filed along with a fundamental rights enforcement suit prayed the court to admit him to bail pending the conclusion of an investigation by the police or pending the determination of his fundamental rights suit.On the alternative, he asked that he be allowed access to quality medical facilities of his choice pending the conclusion of the police's investigation and his possible arraignment.Ruling after listening to Kunle Adegoke (SAN), who led a team of lawyers for Adedoyin, Justice Inyang Ekwo declined to grant any of the prayers. Adedoyin is said to be the owner of the Hilton Hotel, Ile Ife, Osun State, where a Masters student of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Timothy Adegoke was allegedly murdered, has been arrested for some time now for the murder.In a supporting affidavit, Chief Segun Aworinde, who described himself as Adedoyin's younger brother, said despite being informed that Adedoyin was hypertensive and diabetic, the police refused to release him or allow him access quality health facility since he was arrested on November 1Aworinde said he knows “Adedoyin as an established industrialist and educationist and also a business mogul that owns several higher institutions of learning among which is Oduduwa University, Ile-Ife. He is around 65 years of age with business interests spread over the country.He added that Adedoyin was “arrested on the 15th day of November 2021 by the respondent (IGP) and has since then been in detention in connection with some allegations bordering on the mysterious death and dumping of the corpse of one Timothy Adegoke who was said to have lodged in the Applicant's hotel, Hilton Hotels and Resorts, situate, lying and being at Ile-Ife, Osun State.“By my relationship to the applicant as aforementioned, I know as a fact that the applicant is hypertension and diabetes patient for over 15 years and has been on specialised drugs and treatments including but not limited to traditional herbs but to which he has not been able to have access since his incarceration by the respondent,” he said.“On the 24'th day of November 2021, I returned to the Police Headquarters in Osogbo again and I got to know that the applicant had slumped earlier on that day but was luckily resuscitated and the ugly development warranted him to be taken to the Police Clinic situate at Okefia Area, Osogbo.“Having been aware of these health issues/challenges of the applicant, I made a frantic effort to appeal to the respondent to allow the applicant to be taken to a hospital with relevant equipment and facilities for proper medical care and attention but the respondent claimed that investigation in the case against the applicant was still ongoing and refused the request. “All appeal/efforts made to the respondent to release the applicant on bail or be allowed to have access to quality medical facilities proved abortive as the respondent claimed that the matter is still under investigation and as a result of that, could not grant such a request.“Despite the health situation of the applicant and notwithstanding the absence of any charge pending against him, the respondent directed his officers to transfer the applicant from the custody of the Police in Osogbo to its Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Abuja where the applicant is currently being detained.“I know as a fact that the applicant, a chieftaincy title holder in Ile-Ife, is not a flight risk having established one university and one polytechnic in Osun State, with several other investments all over the country and the applicant is ready and withing to stand his trial at all material times if the respondent eventually establishes a prima facie case against him. Justice Ekwo ordered Adedoyin to serve the motion and other processes in the case on the sole respondent – the Inspector General of Police (IGP) – and adjourned till December 9 for hearing.

Dr Kayode Ajulo, lawyer to the father of late Timothy Oludare, who died at Hilton Hotel, Ile-Ife, Osun has urged the Nigerian Police to declare Dr Rahman Adedoyin's son, Mr Raheem Adedoyin wanted over the murder. Raheem , the fugitive son of the owner of Hiltons Hotels and Resorts, Ile-Ife arranged how OAU post-graduate student Timothy Adegoke's corpse was evacuated and thrown into the bush.Ajulo in a statement on Thursday, in Abuja said Adedoyin's son should be declared wanted for his alleged ignominious and gruesome acts in the murder case.He said it was curious the intriguing statement made by the Osun State Commissioner of Police, wherein Dr Adedoyin's son was identified as the one who dumped the corpse of the late Adegoke in the bush.“Considering the circumstances of the murder of Oludare, the law enforcement agency ought to exert energy in arresting Adedoyin, who is allegedly at large.“Now that the Police know so much, it is time to start asking more questions: Why has Raheem Adedoyin not been declared wanted and an intelligence team churned out to arrest him?“Why would the hoteliers broke into the Late Timothy Adegoke's room on the first night when he actually paid for two nights at the hotel?“Why have not the suspects been charged before a Court of Competent record as prescribed by the Constitution,” he asked.

The Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olawale Olokode, on Wednesday disclosed that the founder of Oduduwa University and Ife Prince, Dr Rahmon Adedoyin, has been arrested in connection with the mystery death of a masters degree student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile Ife, Timothy Adegoke.The Command's spokesperson, Mr. Yemisi Opalola, in a statement said Prince Adedoyin is also the chairman of Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Ile-Ife, where the deceased was said to have lodged upon his arrival from Abuja.According to him, the suspect was arrested in connection with the death of the OAU student who came from Abuja to sit for his examination at the OAU Distance Learning Centre, Moro, Osun State.“In addition to the six suspects earlier arrested, the chairman of Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Ile-Ife, Dr Ramon Adegoke Atobatele Adedoyin was also arrested on 15th November 2021.“He is currently in Police detention, undergoing interrogation in connection with the case while awaiting the autopsy report from the hospital,” the statement added.The police commended the university's management and family of the deceased for giving a chance to investigate the matter, promising that justice will be served.It urged the public to continue to support the police and allow the security to conclude the ongoing investigation.It will be recalled that late Timothy Adegoke Oludare, a Chartered Accountant from Eruwa, Oyo State, was declared missing penultimate week since he checked in at the hotel owned by Prince Adedoyin on Friday, November 5 preceding his examinations scheduled for Saturday, November 6 and Sunday, November 7.Oludare was noticed missing when his wife could not reach him on the phone. Meanwhile, he had earlier contacted his wife to inform her that he was staying in a hotel.Following a police investigation, money paid by Oludare for lodging was traced to one Adedeji Tobiloba Adesola, who works in the hotel.Sources, however, alleged that Prince Adedoyin and some of his workers initially denied that Oludare was at the hotel.Meanwhile, late Oludare, who was also a Director of Finance of a private firm, FJJ Company, was said to be frequented Ile-Ife between October 22 to October 24; October 29 to October 31; and November 5 to November 7, 2021 to take his MBA exams at the Obafemi Awolowo University and he had been consecutively lodging at Hilton Hotels and Resorts.“On Friday, November 5th, 2021, Adegoke Timothy Oludare contacted his wife (in Abuja) that he had arrived Ile-Ife and had lodged at an undisclosed hotel,” the deceased's brother was quoted.“The following morning, her wife was calling Adegoke Oludare's phone line to extend morning greeting but the line kept ringing with no one picking up the call. The line was ringing throughout the day (Saturday 6th, 2021).“Adegoke's wife contacted relatives and the family immediately sent a delegation to the examination centre of the OAU to confirm whether their son was in the examination hall. The examination coordinator checked the attendance for Saturday and Sunday (6th and 7th November) and they discovered that Adegoke Timothy Oludare did not come to take the exams.“OAU Management and relatives proceeded to the police station to report the matter and investigation began. In the effort of the OAU Management, the chairman of the hoteliers' association was contacted to reach out to hotels whether Adegoke Oludare lodged in any of the hotels but no positive response was received.“On Wednesday, November 10th, 2021, wife of Adegoke Timothy Oludare discovered the receipt of the hotel in which her husband lodged the penultimate weekend to November 5th, 2021. The name of this Hotel was Hilton Hotels and Resorts.“The investigation panel proceeded to Hilton to enquire whether Adegoke Oludare lodged again in the penultimate weekend which was 5th November 2021. They met the proprietor of this hotel (Chief Rahman Adegoke Adedoyin) but they denied that Adegoke Timothy Oludare lodged at their hotel.“On Thursday 11 November 2021, investigation revealed that Adegoke Timothy Oludare transferred the sum of N37,000 from his account to a lady whose name is Adedeji Tobiloba Adesola and the details of the transfer showed that the transaction took place on Friday, 5th November 2021 that Adegoke Oludare's wife claimed that her husband reported to have lodged at a hotel in Ile Ife.”“Upon tracking the phone number on the said account, it was discovered that the owner of that number was at that moment at the Hilton Hotels and Resorts owned by Rahman Adedoyin. Police proceeded to the venue and Adedeji Tobiloba Adesola was fished out to be a staffer of the said hotel.When Adesola was apprehended, she confessed to have allocated Room 35 of Hilton Hotels and Resorts to Oludare the same Friday. She was arrested and whisked to the Police headquarters in Osogbo.On November 12, 2021, her confession led to the arrest of 6 other suspects by the police including a self-acclaimed Alfa (Islamic cleric) who claimed to have left Ile-Ife for Ejigbo on the same Friday Oludare was said to have disappeared.Before the Alfa's confession, police tracking had shown that Oludare's phone was moved from Ile-Ife to Ejigbo between 5 and 6 November, 2021.Meanwhile, on November 13, Adedoyin was alleged to have mobilised three top lawyers to Osogbo in order to pervert the investigation process.But he could not have his way until his arrest by the Police.Meanwhike, Ramon Adedoyin, has denied involvement in the death of Timothy Adegoke. “I appeal to everyone to be patient and allow police to do their work and thorough investigation. He said.

Oncotarget published this trending research perspective on June 22, 2021, entitled, "Association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and odds of breast cancer by molecular subtype: analysis of the MEND study" by researchers from Duke University, Durham, NC; University of Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria; Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria; University College Hospital, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria; Federal Medical Center, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria; UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, Chapel Hill, NC; Our Lady of Apostle Catholic Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria; University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL; University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. In this study, 555 Nigerian participants were assembled—of which 296 were confirmed breast cancer cases, and 259 were controls. The researchers collected clinical and reproductive characteristics of each participant, including the controls. In their first analysis, the researchers observed that newly diagnosed cases of Nigerian breast cancer were significantly more likely to have high levels of highly-sensitive CRP (hsCRP) compared to the controls. After adjusting for socio-demographic, clinical, and reproductive variables, the team still observed significant statistical significance for high levels of hsCRP associated with Nigerian BC. The findings from this cohort study also showed that high hsCRP was associated with a four-fold increased odds of BC. “We also provide novel evidence of associations between hsCRP and BC molecular subtypes, with significant associations observed for luminal A, TN, and HER-enriched subtypes.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2021/08/12/trending-with-impact-analysis-of-breast-cancer-in-nigerian-women/ Press release - https://www.oncotarget.com/news/pr/oncotarget-odds-of-breast-cancer-by-molecular-subtype-analysis-of-the-mend-study/ Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.27991 DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.27991 Full text - https://www.oncotarget.com/article/27991/text/ Correspondence to - Tomi Akinyemiju - tomi.akinyemiju@duke.edu Keywords - C-reactive protein, breast cancer, Nigeria, molecular subtype, menopausal status About Oncotarget Oncotarget is a bi-weekly, peer-reviewed, open access biomedical journal covering research on all aspects of oncology.

Ancestral Eyes welcomes back Kabiyesi Ifagbemi Faseye Efunsola on Episode 33 of our show with special guest Gbolahan Macjob, journalist BBC World Service with your hosts Teresa Sliwinski and Jean- Jérôme C. Baudry! Our main guest: Kabiyesi Ifagbemi Faseye Efunsola talks about the Ifá-Òrìsà Indigenous worship and his 28 trips to West Africa including Nigeria, Republic of Benin and Togo for the purposes of initiations and religious study. On this special edition return show, he also announces his Oba Òrìsà Obatala of America title after all religious rights were done in Ile Ife by the spiritual Head of Obatala in Ife Obalesun. Baba Faseye began his formal, comparative religious study in 1998. For over 20 years now he has diligently served my community as a healer, diviner, educator, and steward of indigenous spiritual tradition. Before becoming a respected leader in the tradition, he underwent many years of study and practice as an Ifa priest (Babalawo), communicating with the Spirit of Destiny known as Orunmila in order to divine a person's destiny and, when needed, make edits or changes to this destiny through ritual (or, ebo). As a leader within this culture and tradition, he also specialized in various other forms of divination such as mirror and water gazing, cowry divination and other mystical spiritual disciplines in order to assist devoted seekers to find working solutions to many of life's various challenges. For more information on the Ifá-Òrìsà Indigenous worship and Baba Faseye's practice, please visit her website: https://oracleifa.com/ Our second special guest: GBOLAHAN MACJOB is a Multimedia journalist at BBC World Service.

The government of the Netherlands has returned a prehistoric terracotta head sculpture to the Nigerian Embassy in the Netherlands in compliance with the 1970 UNESCO Convention of prohibiting and preventing the illicit import, the export of cultural property.The terracotta head, believed to be from Ile-Ife in Nigeria, was intercepted by Dutch Customs at Schiphol Airport in 2018 in a package addressed to a Dutch national with forged accompanying import documents. Nigerian authorities confirmed the authenticity of the object and formally requested its return.The Embassy of Nigeria in the Hague in a statement signed by Mr. Kabiru Musa, Charge d' Affaires at the Embassy, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja, said Mrs. Maryan Hammersma Secretary-General of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science handed over the terracotta head to the embassy in a ceremony on Nov. 2 in the Hague.Musa said that the handing-over of the Ife terracotta head by the Netherlands was a watershed event in the existing cordial relations between the two friendly countries.He said that both countries reaffirmed their commitment to the provisions of the 1970 UNESCO Convention and also pledged to enhance and strengthen cooperation on cultural matters.“The Ife terracotta head is the first formal return by the Netherlands to a State Party to the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the means of prohibiting and preventing the illicit import, export, and transfer of ownership of cultural property. “The intercepted Terracotta object, which is approximately 16 cm tall, depicts a girl or young woman with her hair tightly braided in several buns.“A bump on the top left-sided of her head possibly represents an amulet braided into her hair. It is clear from the style of the object that it originates from Ife, Nigeria, Musa explained, saying that It is expected to be returned to the country soon.NAN quotes the statement as saying that the artistic and traditional characteristics of the item recovered in the Netherlands, in combination with the patterns on the face, are typical of Ife heads.” Objects of this quality are exceedingly rare”.

GettyImages Following over two weeks’ protest against police brutality in Nigeria, there are reports that a number of protesters have been shot with live ammunition. Reports suggest that unarmed protesters were shot by military men at the Lekki toll plaza in Lagos on Tuesday, October 20. The shooting was said to have occurred just before a 24 hour curfew imposed by the Lagos State government. The people were protesting against human rights abuses perpetrated by a now disbanded unit in the Nigeria Police Force, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. In today’s episode of Pasha, Lanre Ikuteyijo, a senior lecturer in the sociology and anthropology department of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, south west Nigeria, discusses the recently dissolved tactical unit.

Había una vez un mundo Yoruba donde no había una tierra firme. Existía el cielo que era gobernado por el Dios Olorum y el océano infinito gobernado por el dios Okun. Un día Ododua, el hijo del dios Olorum se presento ante su padre que se encontraba reunido con los otros dioses en el concejo de Dioses llamado Orisha. Oduduwa quería crear la tierra firme. El dios Olorum aceptó la petición y envió a Ododuwa a ver a el mas sabio de los dioses del Orisha. El dios Orunmila, Dios de las profecías. El dios Orunmila le dijo a Oduduwa que para crear tierra firme necesitaría una bolsa donde colocar 5 objetos. Una cadena de oro, una concha de caracol llena de arena, una gallina blanca , un gato negro y una semilla de palmera. Los dioses le dieron el oro a Odudua para crear la cadena, mientras Orunmila le entregó el resto de los objetos que necesitaba. Cuando tuvo todo preparado Odudua ató la cadena a una gran nube, se hecho la bolsa a la espalda y comenzó a descender de lo alto del cielo hacia el mundo del océano. Cuando Odudua llego al final de la cadena se dio cuenta que aun le faltaba mucha distancia para llegar a la superficie del gran océano, pero recordó las palabras del dos Orunmila que le había dicho que vertiera desde el cielo la arena que llevaba en la concha de caracol y que dejara caer la gallina sobre la arena. Cuando la gallina cayó sobre la arena depositada en el océano, comenzó a escarbar y a dispersar toda la arena con sus cinco patas separando las aguas donde caía la arena. (siii las gallinas tenían antes cinco patas… pero eso es otra historia) y al dispersar la arena se comenzaron a formar los valles y las montañas. Sobre una de estas colinas Oduduwa salto y la llamo Ile ife. Desde allí podía contemplar como la tierra firme se extendía más allá de sus vista. Luego haciendo una agujero plantó la semilla de la palmera y esta creció en un abrir y cerrar de ojos y muchas mas semillas cayeron y fueron creciendo miles y miles de palmeras que se extendieron por toda la tierra recién formada. Oduduwa se sintió muy orgulloso con su obra y se asentó a vivir en estas tierras con su gato negro. Con el tiempo Oduduwa comenzó a aburrirse y decidió excavar en la tierra hasta encontrar arcilla que tomo para moldear a los hombres y a las mujeres, mientras trabajaba en la creación del los hombres tomaba del vino de las palmeras. Al otro día le pidió a el dios Olorum que le diera vida a las figuras que había creado el día anterior y cuando estas tomaron vida oduduwa vio que muchas de ellas que había creado mientras estaba borracho eran deformes y feas. Prometió que nunca mas volvería a beber y se dedico a crear seres perfectos. Cuando Olorum les dio la vida estos comenzaron a trabajar en la creación de la ciudad de Ile Ife. Oduduwa se convirtió en el protector de la humanidad y en especial de los deformes. Y todos los dioses del Orisha se sintieron felices por lo creado. Todos excepto Okun, el Dios del Oceano que nunca fue consultado de la creación de la tierra firme desplazando sus océanos. Y desde esa época siempre amenaza la tierra y sus habitantes con grandes olas tratando de recobrar el espacio robado por Oduduwa creando grandes inundaciones en la costa.

Winston Churchill said, "Mountaintops inspire leaders, but valleys mature them."Men and women discover themselves during their days in the valley. Those Valley experiences prepare them for the mountaintop.  However, the key to successfully move through the valley is personal leadership. Sadly, when some people hear about personal leadership, they think about perfection.Personal leadership is never on the premise that you are a perfect being. The basic ideology is that your are to take  responsibility for your life outcomes.It has never been an issue of acting perfect. It's recognizing that you are on a journey.
