Monarchical supremacy in Yorubaland: waking the sleeping dog - Oluwatidamilare

There are facts, but there are truths. When truths are twisted to satisfy a motive, they could become facts and if facts linger too longer unchallenged, they will become ‘truths’. Where does the truth of the supremacy of ‘Obas’ in Yorubaland lie? Africa has missed a lot because we had it too late to preserve our history through concerted efforts. If Oduduwa had written down his account of his emergence, we would have been relieved of the pain to extract truth from the facts throwing at our face.

Withdraw you embarrassing budget, Fayose tells Buhari

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to save the country of the national embarrassment being caused by the 2016 Budget that he presented to the National Assembly by formally withdrawing the budget and re-presenting it. According to a statement issued yesterday by his Special Assistant on Pubic Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said “the President should admit that there were avoidable errors in the budget and since he is human and not immune to errors, he should simply do the needful by presenting a new and credible budget to the National Assembly.” Governor Fayose described revelation by the Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole, that the proposal drawn up by the ministry and submitted to the budget office had been doctored and that “foreign” appropriations, different from what was submitted, had been sneaked in as the height of national embarrassment.
