  THE TRUTH BEHIND HON. SANNI OKANLAWON’S FLATULENT OUTBURST AGAINST REP ROTIMI AGUNSOYE, HON MUSILIU AIGORO AND THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF ELECTION MOBILIZATION FUNDS BY KOSOFE GAC MEMBERS    By Olusegun Apena My attention has been drawn to a video clip making the rounds on social media wherein the Lawmaker representing Kosofe Constituency 1 at the Lagos state House of Assembly and the Candidate of the All Progressives Congress on March 11 Lagos State House of Assembly Election, Hon. Sanni Okanlawon calumniates the Member House of Representatives Kosofe Federal Constituency, Hon. Prince Rotimi Agunsoye and the commissioner of Lagos State Audit Service Commission, Alhaji Musiliu Aigoro of being SDP members and that they also worked for the victory of Labour Party at the just concluded Presidential elections.   The calumniation was made at an exigent stakeholders’ meeting of APC held in Kosofe Local Government Secretariat on Saturday March 4, 2023 following t...

The Publisher of the Kosofe Post (KP) and Principal correspondent, Bilesanmi  Abayomi aka Koko, has called on the people of Kosofe to eschew violence and vote for the best candidates as they prepare for the Presidential and National Assembly elections scheduled for  Saturday. In a message to citizens made available to Kosofe Reporters, KOKO urged them to embrace peace and shun violence as they cast their votes for their preferred candidates.  He emphasized the importance of citizens going out en masse on Saturday and casting their votes for well-prepared candidates for the Presidency, Senate, and House of Representatives.

Mile 12 demolition: A Political miscalculation of the highest order By: Yunus Adogba To avoid wrong judgement, I proceeded to the Alaba section of Mile 12 market today 16th of December, 2022 for self-confirmation of the alleged demolition, and to assess the negative impact such action might have on the affected traders if it happens to be true.  I was shocked to the marrow when it became a reality that the Chairman of Ikosi Iseri, Princess Bada actually ordered the demolition, and ensure it was fully carried out. Right at the scene of the demolition, I became more confused when it was revealed that the area in question is a Yoruba-dominated section of the market. I kept asking myself how a politician of high repute could go for an action that can de-market her party by inflicting agony of such magnitude on multiple electorates towards election. This thought made me speechless for about five minutes after speaking to the people concerned. I fully sympathized with them ...

Hypocrisy, they say, is the audacity to preach integrity from the den of corruption. It is also the ability to profess loyalty to a political cause while flirting with the camp of an arch-enemy.  The above statements are self-evidently true of the hypocritical character and behaviour of the chairperson of Ikosi/Isheri LCDA Princess Samiat Bada. She, in recent times has been nightmarishly obsessed with the political activities of the distinguished lawmaker representing the good people of Kosofe Federal Constituency, Hon. (Prince) Rotimi. Agunsoye. Her traumatic obsession with the excellent performance of Hon. Agunsoye had led to her recent flatulent outburst of inanities and nonsensical drivel. In sheer audacious hypocrisy, the former "Paraga retailer" despicably accused óur distinguished lawmaker of engaging in anti-party activities for allowing a former councillor in Ikosi/Isheri LCDA, Hon. Moruf Adeshina to contest under the banner of SDP.  This alle...

HERE WE GO AGAIN KOSOFE: WHEN ARE WE GOING TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES? Here we go again! With less than three months to the general elections, our party at the state and local government levels in Lagos state is still terribly enmeshed in the quagmire of political rascality, parochialism, illegality and unconstitutionality. There seems to be no way out of this maze of political miasma the party has found itself. When you think you have seen it all they amaze you with another monstrous macabre act of theirs. And the more we gravitate towards the general elections, the more they rear their scary ugly heads, filled with putrid retrogressive ideas, before us. In recent times, we have been inundated, glutted and satiated with the gale of unbridled atrocious capricious change of names of the validly elected ward and LGA executives with no recourse to the constitution of the party. And the situation or the practice whereby the party at the state level would continue to use il...

Asiwaju is skilled, knowledgeable and fit to navigate the nation out of the murky waters that we are enmeshed in today. The rebirth of this great nation can only be masterminded by a proven doer with the legendary power of vision and wizardry ability to turn things around. The foundation that he laid by initiating a development plan for Lagos state over two decades ago is the singular reason for the sustained prosperity of this megacity, which according to the Lagos State Bureau of Statistics, today accounts for 26.7% of Nigeria’s total GDP and more than 50% of non-oil GDP. The physical development, social growth and economic prosperity of the state are distinct in sub-Saharan Africa. With the solid foundation Asiwaju laid, Lagos should soon be matching Johannesburg (South Africa, $276 billion GDP), Cape town (South Africa, $155 billion), and Cairo (Egypt, $140 billion). Here is a time to wonder no more, as it's high time we began ✅✅ to take charge of our destiny for th...

By FRANCIS TEMIONU The rate at which the Nigerian elite go for medical treatment abroad has become contentious. To the ordinary man, it is an ostentatious display of wealth. But to those who can afford it, it is for efficiency and security. In a society where virtually all hands are soiled with corruption, and where people can also do anything for money, you don’t take human beings for granted when it comes to health and security matters.   There have been reported cases of cotton wool or medical scissors being carelessly forgotten in patients’ stomachs after surgical operations. We also have cases of hired killers in medical overalls and masks in some hospitals. If a president could therefore take the precaution of going all the way abroad to get treated for radiculopathy for the sake of security and efficiency, will it not be suicidal for the likes of Asiwaju Bola Amed Tinubu to handle their health and security matters with levity? Does medical treatment abroad s...

The proof of a pudding is in the eating, the suitability, reliability and capability of a political aspirant for a public post is in the competence, loyalty and trustworthiness. From whichever way you look at it, COMPETENCE, LOYALTY and TRUSTWORTHINESS are the three most active ingredients making up the quality of great leadership. The combination of these ingredients forms the basis or yardstick by which the electorate determine the suitability, ability and reliability of a political aspirant for a particular public office or post. While Competence denotes the mental and physical capability, in terms of intellectual know-how and physical wellbeing, to carry out a particular assignment, loyalty denotes the level of consistency to remain true, dedicated and committed to a cause and a people; and Trustworthiness, on the other hand, denotes the integrity and honesty of a leader. Hon. Olarewaju Carew fca, an aspirant for Lagos state House of Assembly in Kosofe Constituency 1, ...

By OLUSEGUN APENA Midas , in Greek mythology, is the name of a famous king known for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold. This came to be called the golden touch, or the Midas touch in the World of reality. To possess a Midas touch is to have the ability to effect successful outcomes. In Kosofe's socio-political Isle one prominent figure who is known to be naturally endowed with the coveted Midas touch is no other person than a business mogul - Hon. Olanrewaju Carew FCA. Anything he touches, transmutes to pure gold. Lanre Carew is many things roll into one. A Bluckbuster of an achiever. He is a Chartered Accountant, an Agriculturist, a serial entrepreneur, an economist, an industrialist and a successful businessman, who has been able to transform his dreams, ideas and visions into propitious ventures and positive outcomes.  His success and accomplishments in the realm of commerce and industry are self-evident. He is the owner of a world famous ...

By Olusegun Apena       Apenaism   This life is indeed not balanced at all both mentally, physically, psychologically and spiritually! Otherwise, how does one explain a situation where a brood of follies and ne'er-do-wells have made it unabashedly a duty to condemn  conscionable gift of "1 korope to 3" beneficiaries given by the present lawmaker where his predecessor could not  even bring home ordinary bicycle 🚲 to the needy constituents. Yes, "kẹkẹ" I mean. My people no be Juju be that? Or no be witch be that?😂😂😂  Don't you think the mental state of people harbouring such an insane, moronic thought like that need to be examined by a top psychiatric doctor at Yaba left. Axiomatically, before the emergence of Hon. Prince Rotimi Agunsoye, youth and women empowerment programmes were alien to the people of this Constituency. If not, can someone tell me a time in the political annals of Kosofe Federal constituency in pre- Rotimi Agunsoye whe...

                    One is like a Rolls-Royce while the other is a veritable Tokunbo car   The Lagos Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) is known to be the highest decision-making body in Lagos APC. It is a highly influential but unconstitutional body whose sphere of influence cut across the 20 Local Government and 37 Local Council Development Areas, state ministries, parastatals and agencies. The body influences policies formulation, political appointments and its political party’s activities at all levels in the State. Membership of this body is very exclusive but there is no particular yardstick used in co-opting members into the fold. And to be a member is to wield enormous political power and influence in the area of political jurisdiction.   Kosofe Local Government Area boasts of two geriatric politicians as members of this political conclave. One is like a “Rolls-...
