Imagine Nigeria without Yoruba land. Just take a second to picture it.

​No Lagos. No busy center for African business. No city that never sleeps where people turn hard work and energy into success.

​If you take Yoruba culture away from Nigeria, you are not just removing a place. You are taking away the rhythm, the color and the soul of the country.

From London to Houston and Brazil to Cuba, the world does not just know Nigeria. They know Yoruba.

Imagine music around the world without Afrobeats. No Wizkid, no Davido, no Burna Boy, no Asake and no Tiwa. The world would be completely silent on the dance floor.

This is the same land that gave us Prof Wole Soyinka, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and many other great leaders who built the intellectual foundation of the country.

There is a special beauty in being Yoruba. It is in the blood. It is the Omoluabi way of life. This means good character, deep respect, bowing and prostrating. It teaches us to be humble before we are proud.

To Yoruba land. Thank you for the flavor. Thank you for the extra style. Thank you for teaching us how to work hard, dress like royalty and respect our elders while winning across the world

Moremi Ajasoro, Princess of the Yoruba 🇳🇬 (Yoruba: Mọ́remí Àjàsorò) was a figure of high significance in the history of the Yoruba peoples of West Africa. Born a princess, she was a courageous queen whose fame contributed to the victory of the Yoruba people over a neighbouring people.

Moremi was a member by marriage of the royal family of Oduduwa, the Yoruba's fabled founding father.

The Ayaba Moremi lived in the 12th century, hailed from Offa, and was married to Oranmiyan, the heir to the king of Ife and founding father of the Yoruba people, Oduduwa. Ile Ife was a kingdom that was said to have been at war with an adjoining tribe who were known to them as the Forest people. (Ìgbò in the Yoruba language, though the said tribe is believed by scholars to have had no relation to the contemporary Ìgbòs of modern Nigeria). Scores of Ife citizens were being enslaved by these people, and because of this they were generally regarded with disdain by the Yoruba city-states. Although the people of Ile-Ife were furious about these raids, they did not have the means to defend themselves. This is because the invaders were seen as spirits by the people of Ife, appearing as masquerades completely covered in raffia leaves.

Moremi was a very brave and beautiful woman who, in order to deal with the problem facing her people, pledged a great sacrifice to the Spirit of the river Esimirin so that she could discover the strength of her nation's enemies.

She is said to have been taken as a slave by the Igbo and, due to her beauty and Esimirin's help, married their ruler as his anointed queen. After familiarizing herself with the secrets of her new husband's army, she escaped to Ile-Ife and revealed this to the Yorubas, who were then able to subsequently defeat them in battle.

Following the war, she returned to her first husband, King Oramiyan of Ife (and later Oyo), who immediately had her re-instated as his queen. Moremi returned to the Esimirin River to fulfill her pledge. The rive

Kwara PDP Chieftain, Barr Olusegun Olawoyin Congratulates Engr. Bolakale Kawu Agaka On Emergence As Consensus Governorship Candidate

….Praises Saraki, Ali Ahmad, Gambari

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State and Offa-born legal luminary, Barrister Olusegun Mosobalaje Olawoyin has congratulated Engr Sulaiman Bolakale Kawu Agaka on his emergence as the consensus governorship candidate of the party ahead of the forthcoming election.

Olawoyin said the emergence of Engr. Kale Kawu as a product of wide consultations, unity, and political maturity among stakeholders of the party.

He expressed confidence that the consensus arrangement would further strengthen the PDP in the state and eventual victory in the 2027 general elections.

According to him, the party’s decision to rally behind Engr. Kale Kawu reflects the desire of members and leaders to present a credible, experienced, and competent candidate capable of providing purposeful leadership for the people of the state.

He noted that the PDP governorship candidate is bringing into the race enormous administrative and professional experience garnered from years of service in the engineering and public sectors.

“Engr. Kale Kawu is coming with a lot of experience. His emergence under the consensus arrangement is a welcome development for our party and the people of Kwara State,” Olawoyin said.

The former Chairman of Offa Local Government also commended former Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Professor Ali Ahmad, and Mallam Omar Bolaji Gambari for what he described as their exemplary sportsmanship and commitment to the unity of the party.

He said their decision to support the consensus arrangement in the overall interest of the PDP demonstrated leadership, sacrifice, and loyalty capable of deepening internal cohesion within the party.

Olawoyin further praised former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, for his leadership role in ensuring a peaceful and wid

The Chronicles of Barrister Olusegun Olawoyin (II): Legal Training, Practice and Professional Rise

Barrister (Hon.) Olusegun Oluwatoyin Mosobolaje Olawoyin’s journey into the legal profession followed a path shaped by discipline, exposure, and a deliberate effort to prepare him for independence early in life.

After his secondary education, he secured admission into the University of Jos in 1990 to study Law, having met the required entry standards.

At the institution, he pursued his academic training with focus, earning his LL.B degree in 1996.

That same year, he proceeded to the Nigerian Law School, Lagos campus, for his professional qualification.

He completed the programme in 1997 and was subsequently awarded the Barrister-at-Law (B.L).

In February 1998, he was formally called to the Nigerian Bar, marking his full entry into the legal profession.

His call to the Bar carried personal significance. It fulfilled a long-standing aspiration within his family, particularly for his father, the late Chief J.S. Olawoyin, whose own legal ambitions had been interrupted in the aftermath of the Treason Trial of Obafemi Awolowo involving Obafemi Awolowo.

The son’s qualification was widely seen as completing a path that had earlier been cut short.

Early Legal Training and Chamber Experience

Like many young lawyers, Olawoyin’s early years in practice were defined by mentorship and movement across law firms to gain broad experience.

His first exposure came in 1997 during his mandatory law office attachment at Ayo Olarenwaju & Co in Lagos, where he handled administrative and office management responsibilities.

The experience provided him with foundational knowledge of legal practice and law office operations.

Following his call to Bar, he undertook his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) between February and December 1998, serving with Tawo E. & Co in Lagos. There, his role focused on legal counselling, giving him early contact with client advisory work.

NIGERIA IS NOT YOUR ANCESTOR’S PROPERTY - IT IS OUR COLLECTIVE DESTINY

Segun Olawoyin
February 26th, 2026

To the Southerners.
To the Northerners.
To the Muslims and the Christians.
To the Fulani, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Tiv, Kanuri, Ibibio and every other tribe across this land called Nigeria.
Wake up.

How long will we continue to let politicians feed us lies, manipulate our emotions, and divide us with propaganda, while they sit comfortably, protected, and untouched?

Nigeria was not created by your ancestors.
They met it here.
They lived on it.
They were buried in it.
But they did not create it.

This land existed before them, and it will remain after us. You are shouting “ancestral land” over a soil your ancestors neither designed nor were consulted about when God formed it.

Why are we shedding blood over ground that will eventually cover us all?

No tribe owns Nigeria.
No religion owns Nigeria.
No region owns Nigeria.

Nigeria belongs to every Nigerian, whether you like their language, their culture, their faith, or not.

Stop killing in the name of land.
Stop hating in the name of tribe.
Stop fighting battles designed by politicians who will never send their own children to die.

Open your eyes.

When violence erupts, it is not the politician’s son that dies.
It is not the governor’s daughter that is displaced.
It is not the senator’s family shop that gets burned.

It is you.
It is your brother.
It is your neighbor.

And when everything is destroyed, those same politicians, even the ones from your own tribe, will move on with security escorts and new alliances, while you bury your loved ones and count your losses.
Be wise.

The moment we truly accept that Nigeria belongs to all of us, peace will no longer be a dream, it will be our reality. But if we continue screaming “ancestral ownership” while spilling innocent blood, expect nothing but deeper wounds, greater division, and endless regret.

Unity is not weakness.
Coexistence is not surrender.
Peace is

Kwara State has taken a bold step by declaring that it will no longer tolerate street begging being used as a cover for criminal activities. This decision follows the arrest of a suspected bandit who was reportedly posing as a beggar. That alone should wake us up.

Street begging is no longer just a social issue. It has become a security concern.

When large numbers of able-bodied young people roam the streets under the guise of begging, it creates room for criminal infiltration. Some hide weapons. Some gather intelligence. Some monitor communities. What looks like sympathy can easily become vulnerability.

But beyond security, there is a deeper issue we must address honestly: the culture of uncontrolled birth without responsibility.

No society can progress when families continue to bring children into the world without the capacity to feed, educate, clothe, and protect them. Children should not be born into suffering. They should not grow up on the streets. They should not become tools in the hands of criminals because their parents failed to plan.

Compassion does not mean enabling irresponsibility.

Parents must understand that raising a child is not only biological it is economic, emotional, and moral. Giving birth is easy. Raising responsible citizens is the real duty.

The North, particularly parts of Arewa, must confront this reality. If we truly care about dignity, we must stop celebrating poverty disguised as destiny. We must stop normalizing child neglect. We must stop turning a blind eye to street cultures that expose children to crime, drugs, and exploitation.

Kwara’s enforcement must go beyond arrest. It should include:
• Rehabilitation programs
• Family planning awareness
• Compulsory education enforcement
• Strict monitoring of organized street networks

Security begins with responsibility. And responsibility begins at home.

Children deserve better than the streets. Society deserves better than insecurity masked as sympathy. 🫩🫩

FARE THEE WELL HON.TAOFEEK OMOLUABI .(KANJUKO).

TAOFEEK OMOLUABI was not just a man, but a movement—
A friend to many, a mentor to most,
A voice that echoed across generations.

Though age traced gentle lines on his face,
His spirit danced with the fire of youth.
Among the young, he moved with ease—
Among the old, he stood as a beacon.
In every room, his presence was felt,
Not loud, but strong—subtle, yet profound.

He was never without his tools:
A pen, a notebook, and curiosity.
These were the weapons of his wisdom,
And with them, he wrote more than notes—
He wrote lives, built dreams, inspired change.

His dress was sharp, his mind sharper still,
Each suit a statement, each smile a bridge.
His laughter, a balm. His counsel, gold.

A natural entrepreneur—
He saw opportunity where others saw obstacles.
He built not for himself alone,
But for community, for legacy, for tomorrow.

He was a political opinion leader,
Not through division, but by dialogue.
Not by shouting loudest,
But by listening longest,
And speaking only when his words could build.

To us, he was more than a colleague or comrade—
He was a compass, a cornerstone,
A pyramid of strength and silent purpose.
And like a pyramid, he will forever stand,
Etched into the landscape of our lives.

Today we mourn his absence—
But more than that, we celebrate his presence.
In our thoughts, our stories, our actions,
He lives on—undaunted, unforgotten.

Rest well, our friend.
Your legacy is not in stone,
But in the lives you touched.
And that is eternal.

REST IN POWER
