A wise person once said: “Horses that go to war don’t dance at weddings.”
In depth👇
Once you’ve seen enough of human nature, the dance loses its appeal. The masks become obvious. The smiles become rehearsed. Celebrations begin to look more like stages where actors convince one another they’re honest.
That’s why horses that go to war don’t dance at weddings.
They stand still and watch. They notice what others miss. They recognize danger beneath charm and deception beneath polished words. While the crowd mistakes their caution for misery, the horse understands something the dancers never will:
Surviving betrayal is far more valuable than being welcomed by those capable of it.

Is there any grass in Lagos state universities? If yes, no one should emulate the habits of cutting those grasses, that’s part of our 2027 manifesto if we have one 🤲🏿🧐. Obi rere ni Obi wa 😪😪😪🤲🏿🤲🏿
Appreciation goes to those who stood their ground during the 2023 presidential election.
If not, we would be practicing mobocracy by now, had we allowed the Obidient movement to take charge.
2027 is near, so we need to do more by voting for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu once again.

The weather cast a feather into Afulelu’s compound. His fury obscured his vision, so he didn’t notice that it was the work of the wind.
A REJOINDER TO ADEJUMO ONIRU'S MISREPRESENTATION OF THE TRADITIONAL CHIEFTAINCY HISTORY OF LAGOS
By Chief Engr. Ajibade Ismail Nosiru Ayeni
The Eletu Odibo of Lagos
Head of the Akarigbere Royal Class and Principal Kingmaker of Lagos.
Recent publications by one Adejumo Oniru on the history and status of the traditional chieftaincy institution of Lagos have unfortunately presented a distorted and incomplete account of the evolution of the Lagos Monarchy. While everyone is entitled to express opinions on history, such opinions must never be presented as established historical facts when they contradict the traditions, customs, and constitutional evolution of the Lagos Kingdom.
The institution of traditional authority in Lagos is one of the oldest and most sophisticated monarchies in Yorubaland. It cannot be reduced to simplistic narratives that diminish the constitutional status of the Paramount White Cap Chiefs of Lagos who, from time immemorial, have jointly constituted the governing aristocracy of the Kingdom alongside the Oba of Lagos.
The Akarigbere Royal Class
The greatest misconception in Adejumo Oniru's article is his description of the Akarigbere Royal Class as merely "subordinates" of the Oba of Lagos who cannot, under any circumstance, become Obas.
Nothing can be farther from the truth.
Historically, the Akarigbere Chiefs are Royals who accompanied Ashipa, the progenitor of the Lagos monarchy, from Benin to establish and administer the Kingdom of Lagos. They did not merely accompany the Oba as servants or palace officials; they formed the original governing aristocracy of the Kingdom and shared constitutional responsibilities in the administration of Lagos.
The word Akarigbere itself signifies Royalty. Members of this class are royal personages who possess inherent traditional authority. They have always occupied the highest echelon of the Lagos Chieftaincy System.
It is therefore historically inaccurate to suggest that members of this class cannot become Obas.
Indeed, the Oba of Lagos himself belongs to the Akarigbere Royal Class. This alone demonstrates that the class is not inferior but represents the highest traditional authority within the Lagos Kingdom.
The Akarigbere Royal Class is headed by the Eletu Odibo of Lagos, the Principal Kingmaker of Lagos. The Eletu Odibo occupies a position of immense constitutional significance in matters relating to kingship and traditional governance.
The argument that members of this class cannot become Obas because they traditionally pay homage to the Oba of Lagos betrays a misunderstanding of customary constitutional relationships.
Traditional protocol does not determine royal status.
Throughout Yorubaland, kings acknowledge senior monarchs without forfeiting their own royal status. Respect for a paramount monarch is entirely different from the constitutional recognition of one's own traditional authority.
Some members of the Akarigbere Royal Class possess ancestral domains and traditional jurisdictions over which they are recognised as overlords. Consequently, they possess every customary and constitutional qualification to become Obas over their respective domains whenever such elevation is lawfully recognised.
Historically, before the proliferation of modern Obaships across Lagos State, the Paramount White Cap Chiefs collectively governed Lagos with the Oba of Lagos. Their authority predates many of the present-day traditional stools across the State.
Except for the Oba of Lagos himself, no traditional ruler in Lagos historically ranks above the Paramount White Cap Chiefs of Lagos.
The Idejo Class
Adejumo Oniru correctly identifies the Idejo Chiefs as traditional landowners but fails to present the complete historical picture.
The Idejo Chiefs trace their ancestry to Olofin, who was the recognised leader of the indigenous Awori settlers.
However, historical records do not establish Olofin as an Oba in the constitutional sense of the Lagos monarchy.

The act of using knowledge to benefit others in service of a higher purpose gives us the ability to understand, recognize and value people of character.

School is not a scam ooo.
The real issue is that educators are often underpaid, and this is common across many parts of the world.
On average, teachers in many countries earn less than other degree holders with comparable qualifications and experience.
Education is highly valued in principle, yet teacher compensation often fails to reflect that value.
CHARACTER is the invisible curriculum every child carries into adulthood.
