[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

This is something Islam established 1400 years ago. The Prophet explicitly warned us against turning our homes into graveyards.

But you what is funny to me about people who fight us when we speak?

When you rely purely on human logic or cultural emotions to figure life out, you will almost always arrive late to the truth.

You’d go through generations of trial and error and psychological fatigue just to finally reach the same conclusion divine wisdom gave you for free on day one.

Why stressing yourself in the first place when you could have believed and get your rewards?

Like I always say, time will always reveal the truth. We just choose the longest and most painful route to get there when we ignore divine guidance.

It’s never too late for anyone reading this to retrace their steps.

Oliver De Coque was born 1944

Fela released his first album 1968

Oliver De Coque released his first album 1977

If it's by age, Fela was older

If it's by achievements, Fela was a Legend even to the Oliver himself.

#Francis Duru's Misinformation on Nollywood

The first HOME VIDEO produced and sold in Nigeria was ṢÓṢÓ MÉJÌ by Ade Ajiboye (Big Abass). It was released in 1988.

In 1989, Alade Aromire produced and released ẸKÙN.

Earlier, ÀJÀNÍ ÒGÚN was produced by Ola Balogun in 1976 as the first major indigenous commercial CELLULOID FILM. It was followed ÌJÀ ÒMÌNIRA Produced by Adeyemi Afolayan (Ade-Love) in 1978.

In 1979, Hubert Ogunde produced AIYÉ, his first CELLULOID FILM.

Ogunde, who created the first PROFESSIONAL THEATRE company in 1945 and transitioned stage plays into influential Yoruba-language films also produced JÁÍYESINMI, ÀRÒPIN
pin N'TÈNÌYÀN, and ÀYÀNMỌ́.

The first English-language Home Video LIVING IN BONDAGE was produced in 1992.

So, where did Francis Duru get his story of "Igbos built Nollywood but Yorubas have become dominant" from?

[Woye @woye1]

ASUU, I have a challenge for you.

2: Beyond strikes, salaries and government funding, when will our universities deliver homegrown, scientifically proven and affordable solutions to malaria and sickle cell disease?

3: Nigeria has brilliant professors, researchers and some of the best intellectual minds in Africa.

4: Yet millions of Nigerians continue to suffer from diseases that our universities should be aggressively researching solutions for.

5: I challenge ASUU and our university researchers: let us move beyond papers, conferences and theories to innovations that save lives and solve Nigeria’s real problems.

6: Give Nigerians a target. When should we expect a Nigerian breakthrough on malaria and sickle cell?

[LEGENDARY J.O.E @LegendaryJoe]

Well...

The truth is that Yorubas did not learn the industry from the Igbos; they merely learned, after a brief slumber, to reclaim what their forebears had built.

Let us give Caesar what is Caesar’s.

The Igbos deserve unreserved commendation for the entrepreneurial energy with which they, for many years, gave commercial legs to an industry in the home video era, that Yorubas had largely approached as an art before they approached it as a business. While the Yorubas were absorbed in the passion of the craft, the Igbos saw the market and understood the economics of distribution, home videos and mass consumption.

They did not invent the fire, but they certainly understood how to make it burn brighter in the market.

But in praising that industrious spirit, we must not romanticise the darker chapter that accompanied it. The unbridled appetite for profit, particularly through piracy, inflicted enormous damage on some of the very giants whose shoulders the industry stood upon. Men who spent years, fortunes and creative energies producing legendary classics watched pirates cart away not merely their profits, but their capital, their incentives and, sometimes, their appetite to create again.

So, let us put the history in its proper frame.

Yorubas did not take anything from the Igbos. They simply woke up to their inheritance.

They returned to the house their forebears had built - the house of Ogunde, Duro Ladipo, Ade Love, Olumegbon, Isho Pepper and the countless pioneers who laid the theatrical and cinematic foundations upon which subsequent generations built.

The Igbos have been, and remain, worthy partners in the Nigerian motion-picture story. Their entrepreneurial instinct helped transform an artistic tradition into a formidable commercial enterprise. That contribution deserves its flowers.

But partnership is not ownership, and commercial dominance is not historical primacy.

A man who arrives early at a feast may eat first; that does not mean he cooked the soup.

And perhaps this is where the argument should finally end: in the hierarchy of the craft, greatness is not determined by ethnicity, geography or who arrived at the box office first. It is determined by the weight of one’s contribution to the art and the depth of its source.

However great the neck grows, it can never stand equal to the head. So it is that in the true hierarchy of this house, even the towering, incomparable Pete Edochie must stand shoulder to shoulder in terms of years devoted to the craft - alongside - the likes of Dejo Tunfulu.

For, as another African wisdom teaches:

“The river does not forget its source.”

And neither should Cinema.

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

Ok. This is a good first step. Those who constantly shout “Get government out of the way and let the private sector do everything” convinced government to give IPPIS payroll management to the private sector.

But when I was in government, we realised that the private-sector companies managing it were themselves creating ghost workers on IPPIS. We also realised that, ghost workers aside, some public servants who do exist were collecting up to 20 salaries each! With BVN it is possible to find out who is actually collecting the salaries if the banks are willing to help.

Biometric verification is an important first step to reducing the cost of governance but it is only a first (and easy) step. A comprehensive audit of all agencies, commissions and extra-ministerial bodies is also important. That is one of the things that the Oronsaye Report did. Since that 2012 report, the number of these bodies that draw on the federal budget has trebled.

Do the biometric audit of staff, then the audit of agencies, commissions and extra-ministerial bodies, and check with PENCOM how many people the Federal Government is paying contributory pensions for.

After doing that, decide which agencies you want to merge or scrap, and which ones should be giving us revenue instead of us funding them from the budget.

The last step should be people that we want to ask to go. Again, that will be graduated, starting from offering redundancies and giving people an incentive to go. At all times, have the trade unions alongside, so that they can see that reduced personnel costs will make it easier to pay those that remain better. It can be done.

At the 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Port Harcourt, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, outlined the administration’s case for reforming Nigeria’s Policing Architecture.

- States willing and able to establish police services would have greater capacity to protect their people and respond to local security challenges.

- Decentralised policing is expected to bring security personnel closer to communities and reduce the distance between citizens and help.

- The reform recognises the need for fair remuneration, credible career progression and proper support for officers injured in the line of duty.

- Officers dismissed for brutality, extortion or criminal conduct would be prevented from simply resurfacing in another police service.

- Local recruitment can improve intelligence gathering because officers are more familiar with the communities and terrain they serve.

- The National Police Service would remain responsible for federal duties and interstate crimes.

- Nigerians would remain protected under one constitutional framework regardless of state of origin, ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.

- Recruitment, background checks and training would be strengthened, with officers required to understand the law, preserve evidence and use force within lawful limits.

- The ultimate measure of success would be competent investigations, safer communities, quicker assistance and greater public confidence in the police.

Big appreciation to the team for putting it together

[Akikanju @Akikanju1568901]

The Yoruba Ronu song was banned twice by was banned by the government of Nigeria's Western Region led by Premier Samuel Ladoke Akintola in 1964, but it survived and stood the test of time.

It’s a powerful reminder of how we rose to the top in Nigeria by building the first of so many things in the country, from the first skyscraper to the first television station, all through our hard work and the wealth generated from cocoa.

Yet, we quickly lost our way, either through self-sabotage or external sabotage from outside Yorubaland. One Nigeria set us back for decades, and, in many ways, it still does.

Thank Olodumare, we found our way again, and we are back at the top. Our ways, culture, and traditions are thriving. We continue to set the pace socially, culturally, and economically.

"I came to work, not to make money; to me, nation-building is what we are doing, regardless of party differences of the past and the difficulty of the present. You still believe in me and what we all plan for this country. I thank you very much.

No one will do it better than us, you know. I have travelled the world. I have seen developed countries endow themselves with collaboration, inclusiveness, and, you know, financial structure. Yes, there is hardship and it is because when we had very high production, we neglected our communities, we neglected the goose that lays the golden egg, forgot even to give them a common, decent standard of living, or forgot to educate our children.

Go around and look at the school, they are ramshackle, at least, the education environment must be decent enough for a pupil to want to learn. We can complain from now till eternity that school enrolment is low. Did we even do anything to encourage that education process? We must ask ourselves; it is a matter of conscience.
Imagine how you get here."

[OREOFE @Oreofe_06]

A 15-year-old girl was brought to the clinic by her parents this afternoon after her elder sister discovered she had a family-planning implant in her arm.

At first, she refused to talk.

When the consultant spoke to her privately, she eventually confessed that she had been sexually active and had terminated three pregnancies.

She said it was her friend who encouraged her to get the implant afterward. Her friend had introduced her to a place where they could get condoms and other contraceptive products.

Her parents were devastated.

Her mother was crying heavily, while her father kept asking, “Where did we go wrong?”

She had only just finished Junior WAEC and was preparing to enter SS1.

The consultant asked her gently, “Who has been teaching you about sex, relationships and contraception?”

She mentioned an older person she had been learning these things from.

The room went completely quiet.

Sometimes, parents think they know what their children are doing.

Until one day, they discover a whole part of their child’s life they never knew existed
