Today, we celebrate Isese Day, honouring our heritage, traditions and the rich cultural identity passed down through generations.
Our culture is an important part of who we are, and we must never lose sight of the values and traditions that connect us to our heritage. We have a responsibility to preserve them and pass them on to future generations.
I wish everyone celebrating a peaceful and meaningful Isese Day. Thank you for keeping our traditions alive and contributing to the vibrant spirit of Lagos.
As we count down to 'Isese Day', let’s set the records straight.
There’s a lot of talk about our culture. But what’s Myth and what’s Truth?

From Ikeja to Badagry to Ikorodu to Lagos Island and to Epe.
Across the 5 IBILE Divisions, one thing is clear:
Isese is our identity.
Isese is not outdated.
Isese is not division.
Isese is our language. Our values. Our festivals. Our way of life.
This August, Lagos honours our roots. Let’s learn from our culture, not assumptions.
Let’s protect it. Let’s celebrate it.
Get your mind ready.
Be Proud. Be Yoruba.

Olamide has not only dominated the music game for years now but also played a pivotal role in the rise of artistes; Like Lil Kesh, Asake, Adekunle Gold, Fireboy, Zlatan, Bella, and many more. Even the likes of Portable gained stardom thanks to Olamide's influence. Many of the music and artistes Nigerians hype today (that keeps the afrobeats movement going) is as a result of Olamide's mindset to create, and gift.
When it also comes to hit songs, that is, songs that actually has lyrical quality, no artiste from his era can go toe to toe with him. Comparing him with colleague who started before, or after him is beyond disrespectful.
Which other artiste has that longevity, street impact, successful record label, and can be linked to the success of rising stars?
He is one of one.
Whether you like it or not, Olamide is a legend & one of the most successful execs from Africa, you can only try but you won’t be able to rewrite history.
I was at a restaurant getting food when I overheard a guy telling the guy standing next to me that he lost his job and hadn’t eaten since the previous day. He wasn’t asking for money, he just wanted something to eat. I could tell he genuinely needed help.
The guy was kind enough to buy some food for him, so I approached him and told him to pick whatever meal he wanted as extra food for later, give them his order and ask them to make it takeaway. I told him I would pay for it. He honestly couldn’t believe it. He was so grateful and even gave me a hug.
As he was leaving, I still felt like I should do better than that, so I gave him some cash too. It felt really good knowing I could help a brother who genuinely needed it. I really hope things turn around for him, and when they do, I hope he remembers this moment and pays the kindness forward.
I think there's another stage of being single called floating, in this stage you're not talking to anyone, nobody is talking to you. You no dey eye anyone, nobody dey look you. You're just on vibes and insha Allah.
For your sanity, be careful of what you consume on SM.
Many of These things are targeted at ruining your mind and conditioning you to other people’s perception.
Thank God my mum didn’t listen to social media. She had her first daughter at 19, me at 21, lost the next pregnancy, had the next daughter at 25, and the last born at 27. She went on to have a stillbirth at 29. That makes a total of six pregnancies and four children. She intended to have seven children, but as destiny would have it, she couldn’t conceive any longer. She went into menopause at age 39. She now has eight grandchildren. She always told us how lucky she considered herself to have married at that early age. My mother was ready.
