A WAKE UP CALL TO ALL FOSSU SENATORS The system of governance by our students union leaders has proved to be nothing both Dictatorship of the highest order. Democracy which is known as government of the people,  by the people and for the people has now been changed by our students union leaders to government  of their people, by their people and for their people. Our Unionism is now of Secret cult, is either you join the group and neglect the students interest or you stay with the students and watch while you are being played around    The senate principal officers in their activities has shown to us that their Weaknesses has been an advantage for the Executives to play the Oyo state students around.Any Leadership that is built on Lobbying and Secretive governance will definitely turn to dictatorship.An example was the Courtesy Visit to Kabiyesi Olubadan of Ibadanland, i found it very difficult to understand how the Senate President and his colleagues who shows no ...

Between 1847 and 1870, large areas of Ijesha, Igbomina, Ekiti and Akoko came under Ibadan control (Akintoye, 1971: 33-75). Initially, this was in response to the threat from Ilorin. Some of the Osun towns like Osogbo had willingly come under Ibadan protection. More force was used in the subjugation of the towns further to the east. The Ijesha proved difficult to control. While Ibadan was occupied with the Ijaiye war, the Ijesha attacked them from the east. They were beaten off, and the Ibadan capture of Ilesha in 1870 marked the high point of Ibadan power (Akintoye, 1971: 56-60). The subordinate towns controlled by Ibadan came to be administered through officials called Ajele, a system similar to that of the former Oyo empire (Awe, 1964). Each of the towns was the responsibility of a “babakekere” in Ibadan, who administered through an Ajele in the town it...

Several Yoruba towns and villages were completely wi...

The untold Story of Jesu Oyingbo.. In the beginning, there lived a man whose real names were Olufunmilayo Immanuel Odumosu, but he fondly called himself “Jesu Oyingbo”. He was highly revered, adored and venerated by his disciples and followers, who believed that he loomed larger than life. He taught his adherents that he was the real Jesus Christ and his presence on earth was his second coming. Indeed, many of Odumosu’s adherents had to sell their properties, forsake their families and joined the religious leader to build a spiritual enclave.
