Mr. Seyi Makinde, the governor of OYO State, will be joined by his counterparts from Lagos, Ogun, and Ondo states, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Prince Dapo Abiodun, and Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN); General TY Danjuma; the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, and the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikir

Other dignitaries expected at the renowned cleric’s new work, “Waste of Grace,” include Otunba Subomi Balogun, Chief Akin Olujimi (SAN), Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Chief Bayo Oyero, bishops and priests, and others.

Okubadejo stated at a press conference on the upcoming book presentation at the Bishop’s Court in Akobo, Ibadan, Oyo State on Thursday that the new book is instrumental to the restoration of Nigeria and is a wake-up call for the Federal Government and state governors, government functionaries, private sectors, individuals, and all humans to end the waste of grace and do the needful with the fear of God.

“Grace is having what you don’t deserve freely.” You can use it correctly or incorrectly. Many countries that lack what we have as a nation have surpassed us. God has blessed this country in every way, including natural and human resources, which is a sign of grace. God has even raised people, particularly religious leaders, to speak out against injustice and poor governance.

“Unfortunately, Nigeria is in this state despite all efforts to provide solutions to our problems,” he added. “As a cleric and church leader, we will not relent in contributing our quota towards the transformation of the nation, and I’m confident that this new work of mine will ignite a new wave for the betterment of the country.”

Mr. Ademola Afolabi, Communication Consultant for Ibadan North Diocese, stated that plans have been finalized to project the book’s powerful message to the public on December 16, at the Premier Hotel in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Mr. Clement Ige, Publisher/CEO of CEEDEE Resources, also stated that the much-anticipated 158 book is beneficial to Nigerians at all levels because the author identified the challenges to the nation’s growth and highlighted solutions for a resourceful life.

As Nigerians join the rest of the world in commemorating International Men’s Day this year, health experts have advised couples to avoid having children they cannot support.

Every November 19, International Men’s Day is observed to honor positive male role models and increase awareness of men’s issues.

Many children are still victims of various forms of abuse, such as child marriages, sexual violence, abduction of children, molestation, child labor, and neglect, because their parents do not adequately provide for them, according to some health experts speaking at a one-day rally organized by Marie Stopes Nigeria to sensitize men on the importance of family planning.

Following the growing expense of living in contemporary Nigeria, Dr. Kingsley Odogwu, a vasectomy surgeon, warned newsmen that parents must take the problem of family planning seriously.

Women, according to Odogwu, are the ones who bore the burden of contraceptive techniques (including oral pills), implants, and intrauterine devices, among other things, when it comes to avoiding pregnancy.

He saw that the percentage of males who get a vasectomy is still relatively low, as is their awareness of the procedure.

“Instead of women having an operation solely to prevent a pregnancy from arising,” Odogwu pointed out, “it is easier and far cheaper for males to have a vasectomy.”

“It’s a treatment that can be completed in less than 15 minutes,” he says. This technique has no effect on erection, and sexual urge is as strong as it should be.”

Other specialists who spoke at the demonstration, including Anne Taiwo and Effiom Effiom, Country Director of Marie Stopes Nigeria, say it is wrong for parents to continue to create children they cannot care for.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, became emotional on Friday as he told Senator Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), how his younger brother, Sani Dangote, died in a United States of America (USA) hospital last Sunday.

Sani died before him, his mother, and other members of his family, while on a life-supporting machine, he claimed.

“We have always known that where there is life, there is death,” Dangote stated. We, as Muslims, have no idea who will be next, and it may be today, tomorrow, or even right now.

“That is why it is important to be good so that when you arrive there, you can bid on whatever task you were given on Earth.”

“Your Excellency, (Abdullahi Umar Ganduje), you are our host because you are the governor of all of us, and we sincerely appreciate you spending nearly a week battling the masses, which is not easy.

“I appreciate all of your prayers and support.” This will truly assist us in reducing the agony that we are experiencing. It’s been a difficult period for us; especially for me, it’s been difficult; we’ve practically formed a kinship.

“Having a sibling like this (Sani) is extremely heartbreaking once you lose him. Because he died in front of my mother, me, and his entire family.

“The most agonizing thing is when you’re informed your brother is going to die in an hour and you stand there watching the machine shut down till it stops operating.” It was excruciating.”

Tinubu expressed his condolences to Dangote and advised the grieving to find comfort in God.

“We are here together to grieve our dear brother, not merely to commiserate or console you,” he stated. Sani isn’t just yours; he’s a Lagosian, a fantastic Nigerian, and a friend and brother to everyone here.

“I’m not a preacher, but I understand what it’s like to lose a close relative, especially a brother, unexpectedly.”

“We have come to join in prayers for you and the people of Kano state, for Nigeria, and for the entire family.” May God provide you with the strength to cope with your loss. Is a tragedy for all of us. Also, grant you what you did not donate to: a longer life, good health for you and your family, peace of mind, and the ability to accept the decree of God Almighty.

“He is the giver and the taker, and he has the power to do anything at any time.” We believe that with your faith and your tremendous capacity, you will overcome this and continue to accomplish good in his name, in your name, in the name of your family, and in the name of the entire people of the country.”

According to reports, Tinubu was greeted by a large gathering of APC loyalists and fans when he arrived in Kano.

Sani died last Sunday at a United States of America (USA) hospital after a cancer-related illness.

Last Tuesday, his body was taken to Kano and burial in the family cemetery.

Since then, Kano has welcomed high-profile politicians, businessmen, technocrats, and other powerful figures who have come to pay their respects to Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, his family, and the people of Kano state.

Tinubu and his entourage arrived at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) around 11:40 a.m. in a private plane.

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his Deputy, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, members of Ganduje’s cabinet, and APC leaders greeted him cordially at the airport.

A large crowd gathered at the airport, waving for Timubu’s huge convoy, a likely presidential candidate in 2023.

Tinubu traveled from the airport to the Koki areas of the city, where he condoled with Alhaji Aminu Dantata, a business entrepreneur and Dangote’s uncle.

The APC National Leader then proceeded to Aliko Dangote’s home on Dambazau Lane, off Lodge Road.

Tinubu, along by Governor Ganduje, paid visits to Government House and the Palace of Kano’s Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero.

He attended Friday prayers at Kano Central Mosque with the Emir, Ganduje, and other government officials, after which he paid the Emir a courtesy call.

Before flying back to Lagos, he took a tour of the city and praised Ganduje’s commendable infrastructure improvements.

Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, Chairman, APC Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, has been described by the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) as a visionary leader whose wealth of experience has restored the ruling party to its original state of envy among the political class.

On Governor Buni’s 54th birthday, the PGF honored and applauded his “leadership, vision, and dedication to a united and prosperous Nigeria,” in a greeting sent Saturday by its chairman, Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi state.

“We reaffirmed our collective resolve to execute programs that would boost the capacities of our progressive states to create jobs, increase economic activity, reduce inequality, and eliminate poverty in Nigeria as we rejoice with HE Mai Mala Buni.”

In all of his dealings, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo hailed late Captain Joseph Din as a guy who stood for justice, fairness, and equity.

The vice-president stated this at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Headquarters in Jos, Plateau State, during Din’s funeral service.

Osinbajo recalled his warm memories of the late Captain, who he described as a very disciplined man who opposed and fought injustice in any form to the point where, despite not being a lawyer by training, he got versed with legal vocabulary.

This action, he claims, strengthened his conviction in democracy and the rule of law, which encouraged people to use civil channels to resolve issues rather than taking the law into their own hands.

He also described the deceased as hardworking, industrious, and giving, saying that he created bridges across the country and maintained lengthy friendships with people he had known for many years, including President Muhammadu Buhari.

Governor Simon Lalong praised the late elderstatesman as a man of integrity who toiled for Plateau State’s and Nigeria’s peace and political stability in his remarks.

He said Din accomplished a lot as Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Elders Committee in Plateau State to assure the party’s win and oversee its performance in different domains, and that he will miss the important counsel and wisdom he freely shared.

COCIN’s President-elect, Rev Amos Mohzho, stated that death is dreadful news, but it can also be wonderful news for people who live a moral life and are certain of salvation.

According to him, the dead lived a prosperous and virtuous life, serving God and blessing others with his money and talents.

Mrs. Christiana Din, the deceased’s widow, said the death of her husband, with whom she had been married for 54 years, was very difficult, but that the testimony of his service to God and humanity had strengthened her.

She described him as a patient, honest, kind, and kind guy who shared in the responsibilities of others, and she claimed her life with him was remarkable.

After the funeral, Osinbajo went to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Jos, for the 2021 Senior Executive Course graduation ceremony (SEC).
