“I was the one that told Gbenga Adeboye’s family the clothes to bury him with… In politics, they have come for my life, shot 5 innocent people dead.” — Makinde reveals in an emotional moment.
Today makes it exactly 2 years since I set out to break a chess world record in Times Square New York. Changed my entire world, helped us build an education centre for children and gave me a life of endless imagination.
Happy anniversary,I’m grateful.

Last Saturday, the members of the Suenu Chieftaincy Family and Ogunyemi Royal Family of Lagos were delighted to come together to celebrate the Eyo Festival in Isale-Eko - Eyo Iga Suenu.
This celebration holds deep meaning, reminding us of our roots, heritage, lineage, and legacy. Special thanks to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR @officialABAT for reinstating this important festival and to Governor @jidesanwoolu for hosting us at the Tafawa Balewa Square.
I am grateful to His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, the White Cap Chiefs, our traditional institutions, and the families and groups who continue to safeguard this cultural legacy.
Festivals like this honour our past while guiding our future.

Listen to how IBOS frustrated the owner of Peace Airline from constructing an airport for his business. IBOS are so unproductive and lack any form of industrial prowess, yet they continue to boast, “We are the most industrious tribe in Nigeria.” Little do they know they are just empty vessels and noise makers who are refugees across the length and breadth of Nigeria. IBOS, go back to your region!!! Develop the Southeast!!! The time is NOW!!!
Long live our elders!!
LET LAGOS STATE BE -
by FEMI OKUNNU
GE DE GBE L’EKO WA.
Let us go back to Memory Lane. WHO ARE THE LAGOSIANS? The Aworis were the original settlers in Eko, called “Lagos” by Portugese adventurers. The “Idejo ” class of chiefs – Olumegbon, Oluwa, Oniru, Onisemo, Oloto, Aromire, Elegushi, Ojomu, Onikoyi, Onisiwo, Ojora, Onitolo, Onitana – were the landowning chiefs who along with their families and followers settled in different parts of Lagos and the environs in the 15th and 16th centuries. They were the original land owners of Lagos.
Then came the Bini invasion. All the Obas of Lagos, starting from Oba Ado, were of Bini origin. So is Oba Alaiyeluwa Akiolu I, the present Oba of Lagos. Ki ade pe lori, Ki bata pe lese. In Amodu Tijani v. Secretary, Southern Provinces where the question before the court was whether full compensation should be paid to the Appellant (as Chief Oluwa of Lagos) for compulsory acquisition of Apapa, the Privy Council (the highest court of jurisdiction for British Colonies) held: “About the beginning of the eighteenth century the island of Lagos was held by a Chief called Olofin. He had parcelled out the island and part of the adjoining mainland among some sixteen subordinate Chiefs, called “Whitecap” in recognition of their dominion over the portions parcelled out of them.
About 1790 Lagos was successfully invaded by the neighbouring Benins. They did not remain in occupation, but left a representative as ruler whose title was the “Eleko”.
The successive Elekos in the end became the kings of Lagos, although for a long time they (1. See, pp. 1-22 of Political and Cultural Perspectives of Lagos by H.A.B. Fasinro) acknowledged the sovereignty of the king of the Benins, and paid tribute to him. The Benins appear to have interfered but little with the customs and arrangements in the island….The Binis (Edos) who accompanied Ado to Lagos settled mostly in Isale Eko, in particular at Iduntafa, Idunmagbo, Idunshagbe, Idunmota, Idunmaigbo.
The word “Idun” means “area”. The Akarigbere class of chiefs (or civil chiefs) are also of Bini origin. They are: Eletu Odigbo, Eletu Iwashe, Eletu Ika, Ologun Agbeje, Ologun Adodo, Eletu Awo, Ologun Agan, Ologun Atebo, Ologun Igbesodi, Ologun Ide Okoro. So also are the Abagbon class of chiefs or war chiefs : Ashogbon, Bajulaiye, Saba, Bajulu and Bashua3. They and their families have Benin blood flowing in their veins and arteries. Incidentally, the installation of an Oba of Lagos, as well as that of each whitecapped Chief of Lagos, bears the hall mark of the installation of the Oba of Benin.
The ceremony at Enuowa tells eloquently our Benin heritage. The installation of the Obi of Onitsha bears similar heritage. Another set of original settlers in Lagos were the “Nupe” or “Tapa” from present day Niger State. They settled at Idunshagbe, Ita Agarawu, Oko Awo, and most especially at Ita Oshodi, popularly called Epetedo. The Oshodi Family are of Tapa origin. Successive Chief Imams of Lagos are Nupe; so also are many prominent families in Lagos.
And the Brazilian Quarters! The Pereira, Marinho, Da Silva, Sho Silva, Salvador, Ramos, Peregrino, Ferreira, Agusto, Pinheiro, Campos, Da Rhocha, Da Costa, Gonzalez, Martins, Vera Cruz and Pedro families – all returnees from Brazil in the early 18th centuries whose ancestors were taken into slavery mostly from Yoruba land and Dahomey (Benin Republic). They settled mostly at “Popo Aguda” 1/4

Humane has created a wearable AI assistant that will do all the work with your smartphones called “Humane AI Pin”.
It has a camera and mic and a projector.
You give it commands by speaking, you can call it, send messages, and it can also translate your call live. Its laser projector will display it on your hand.
You can check the time with it if you are busy. It will also reply to your calls and emails.
It will also take care of your health and food intake. You will see what you have eaten in front of it and it will tell you whether it is good for your health or not.
A few multinational companies have invested 200 million dollars in Imran Chaudhry’s company Humane, including Microsoft and LG Mobiles.
Humane's device has a Qualcomm chip, and Humane's investors include Qualcomm.
After launching this device, Humane is being called the killer of Apple and iPhone.
Humane has priced it at $700 and will start taking orders on November 16.
