 Iyalaje Oodua congratulates Esther Ajayi for obeying


God on opening a grand church in Yoruba land 

....says  will turn Nigeria into a  pilgrimage country 

The Iyalaje Oodua, Chief Mrs Toyin Kolade has congratulated Pastor Esther Ajayi, founder, Love of Christ Generation Church for harkening to the voice of the Lord by establishing a grand  place of worship in Yoruba land, which is ' of spiritual and economic blessings to Yoruba land' 

Iyalaje Oodua described  the act as ' a sublime submission  and total obedience to God's commandment which depicted Mama Esther Ajayi as a reincarnation of one of the prophets and prophetess of old-time religion who listened and acted solely on divine instructions for the benefit of their generations and the globalisation of the gospel at their own expense ' 

Iyalaje Oodua who was engaged by journalists immediately after the grand opening of Love of Christ Generation Church in Lekki said that " obedience to a divine or spiritual order is not an easy task as it mostly behoves the hearer to abdicate his or her comfort zone for a blank promise based on faith '.

She  remarked  that ' However, each of the options has its reward both in physical and in spiritual realm  according to Deuteronomy 11:26-28 which sums it up that blessing is the reward for obeying  the voice of the Lord  while a curse is the consequence of the refusal of the divine instruction  '

Iyalaje Oodua pointed out that ' we are all witnesses and partakers of the divine reward of Mama Esther Ajayi's obedience to God's commandment to leave London and move to Lagos, Nigeria, by the avalanche of eminent and distinguished personalities, strong pillars of the spiritual fortress in the world and men and women of means who are here today. It is an awesome testimony that whoever listens  and harkens to the divine voice will earn blessing not curse " 

She pointed out that the planting of the Church by Mama Esther Ajayi in Lekki and the relocation of its headquarters to Nigeria is not only a spiritual blessing to Yoruba land but an economic stimulus to Nigeria via religious tourism.

Iyalaje Oodua said Love of Christ Generation Church being opened today would turn Nigeria into another pilgrimage centre of the world as ' Mama Esther Ajayi 's spiritual light and divine calling is of  intercontinental relevance which  will lure millions of Christians all over the world to scramble to Lekki for spiritual guidance ' 

She said that " Olodumare is one and has no rival.  although the means of getting to him, mode of worshipping him and means of communication differs according to clime and climate. But the fact remains that either East or West , North or South, white or black,  tradition re  or orthodox religion,   Olodumare who is the decider of our fate is the controller of fortune, wealth and our being and we must worship him in whatever way we are inclined or tutored in faithfulness'

Iyalaje Oodua advocates collaborative endeavours among players in the commercial corridor of Yoruba land

 Iyalaje Oodua advocates collaborative endeavours among players in the commercial corridor of Yoruba land 


The Iyalaje Oodua, Chief Mrs Toyin Kolade has called on commerce and  market players in Yorubaland to engage in collaborative  endeavours at stabilising their trade and widening the coast of their business networks 

Iyalaje Oodua made this submission during a brief chat with newsmen in Victoria Island, Lagos where she said that commercial and business activities blossom when traders and market players understand the nitty-gritty of market demand and supply at a particular time and rising jointly to explore it for profitability.

She pointed out that globalisation and hybrid communication networks  have reduced the wings and status of monopolistic tendencies in today's commercial and business engagements  thus, creating the necessity of collaborative endeavours among merchants, traders and business fellows 

Iyalaje Oodua said what players need now is to embrace collaborative endeavours to strengthen and stabilize each other in the area of shortcomings.

Iyalaje Oodua revealed that ' even in the olden days, historical evidence has revealed that there was a chord of commercial and business collaborative endeavours between the importers from overseas-based in Lagos,  and the merchants in Ejirin,  Ijebu Ode, Abeokuta, Ondo, Okitipupa, Ekiti, Osogbo, Ilesha, Jebba, Lokoja and Ife. That was even when communication and transportation were not made easy as today' 

She said that ' though players are seeking for gains and profits at individual levels  ' but we can triple our  gain and profit if we identify the lack of others and stock up with them at that point of need"

Chief Mrs Toyin Kolade said that her role as Iyalaje Oodua is not only a socio-cultural assignment but a spiritual calling that places the economic and commercial buoyancy of practitioners and market players in Yorubaland on her shoulders.

She said ' I understand my role as Iyalaje Oodua perfectly well. I comprehend both the spiritual, the cultural, the social and the economic component of the role of Iyalaje Oodua. I understand that it is beyond partying, dancing and wearing gorgeous robes, I understand it is about creating and stoking the positive energy of profit and wealth via spiritual intervention, commercial and economic advocacy, socio-political business engagements and continental networking for commercial blissfulness of the Oodua race. I assure you that by the power of Olodumare , the spirit of Oodua and inspiration of Arole Oodua, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, Ojaja II , I shall not fail. "

Why we want Dare Adeleke , Pacesetter Transport Company ,Oyo State Boss sacked - group

 Why Dare Adeleke must go!

We are addressing this public tribunal, not for the sake of ourselves but this generation and the next generations of Oyo State indigenes and Nigeria.

We are indigenes of Oyo State who are  not only interested in the progress of the state but also have a deep interest in ourselves and our well being 

We are composed of men and women of different socio-cultural - political affiliations in Oyo State who will not keep shut our mouths whenever someone is threatening our common interest in the name of serving Oyo State diligently 

Hence, we came together in unison of purpose to address the press conference on why Dare Adeleke, the guy who is heading the Oyo State Pacesetter Transport Company must go  by force or by fire.

And we assure you that we are going to do everything humanly legally and otherwise possible to ensure that this Dare Adeleke is sacked and destroyed for life 

We want the public to know that when Dare Adeleke was appointed some of us particularly our members who work at that organisation were very happy 

We rejoiced, danced and praised God that Governor Makinde has sent to us a good jolly fellow who  would be able to relate with 

Our members took his good look and composture for granted believing that he would not be able to hurt a fly or being mischievous in deeds, acts and character 

And honestly, when you see him, he looks very amiable and like someone who we can do good business with 

We saw in him a person who will be able to continue to build on the legacy left behind or build on the platform he met on the ground or go on with the status quo ante 

We believed he would be a man of our conscience who we could easily guide, or use to toe our path on how things are done at the corporation.

We assumed that we were in the hands of another nice fellow like his predecessors  

Under who we thrived well personally not minding what happens to the company.


We even thought that we were going to be well off under him because of our perception that he is a jolly fellow, those that are called buje bud and 

Hence we moved closer to him and we revealed to him the modus operandi in that corporation 

We unveiled all our strategies of doing business with the corporation for him which have sustained our prosperity in the company and those which have not necessarily been so useful to the company 

We exposed everything that we and his predecessors have been doing which have been beneficial to us and which have only kept the company just existing.

We thought we were doing ourselves and Dare Adeleke a lot of goodness 

We expected Dare Adeleke to be with us and for us bearing the fact that we have let him into the secret of doing business in this company.


But shamefully enough 

This Dare Adeleke turned against us 

We were shocked after we have released, exposed and unveiled all those strategies which have used to keep the company half dead and which we were able to milk the company to our benefit when  this Dare Adeleke called a meeting where he announced that he was not going to be part of us who enjoying in suckling the revenue of the company 

We were terrified when he announced that ' it is not going to be business as usual but business unusual ' 

He did not stop at that, this Dare Adeleke went further to set up a secret committee that understudied  and reviewed all our modus operandi which we used to defraud the company and made available to him by us, moved ahead to plug the loopholes and blocked all the areas where we used to syphon the resources of the company 

To many people, you may not know this, one of the sweetest points of soup for us is the areas of retaining used and unserviceable vehicles. 

You should know hardly can we make money from vehicles which are new, fairly new or barely old. 

Our major pot of soup is by forcing patently unserviceable vehicles permanently on the road. 

This is the major area where we used to drain the revenue of the company 

This is where we used to get fat claims under constant repair and maintenance  which we used to enrich  ourselves and supply  returns to some of his predecessors 

And this is one major casualty of Dare Adeleke's. reforms 

He fished out all these vehicles which we used as drainpipes and announced that he will not waste the resources of the company on them any longer but all of them would have to be ' butchered ' to fix  some and sell-off in parts 

At this, we were even happy 

We thought he would do all these under the table. We mean ' as one knows one ' but alas this wicked Dare Adeleke has  to fulfil all legal righteousness at boarding out these vehicles to the buyers at Gate! 

No under the table's deal.

He even carried along  his principal - the Governor in all this!

Rubbish!

It is true that since Dare Adeleke has been appointed our company has been witnessing   flurry of corporate engagements and top-notch clientele which was not the situation before him 

It is a truth that Dare is a man with a Midas ' touch as things are looking up buoyantly in the company since his appointment. 

It is a fact that since the company has been inaugurated, it has never witnessed this  deluge of revenue  cascading into its  kitty since Dare Adeleke's presence 

It is a glaring fact that Dare Adeleke is the first Oga of our company who has added value to the environment of our business and making we workers working in an ambience of a nice office.

It is a brazen fact that the new vehicles that were procured by Governor Makinde's administration are better by far in terms of design, mechanical parts availability and environmental responsibility and Dare Adeleke preferred the new ones to the one acquired by the former Governor of Oyo State which are not only old, rickety but have been overused, outdated, unserviceable and all becoming burdens on the revenue of the company.

And you people know that it is when he prefers to use the old vehicles that we can continue to make our ill-gotten gains. This is why he must go or be destroyed 


And you think we should not conspire with opposition parties and disgruntled elements in the society to discredit Dare Adeleke for doing what his predecessors failed to do?

Do you think we should not write frivolous allegations to Sahara Reporters alleging fraud against Dare Adeleke when the only thing he has done is to prevent us from further defrauding the company?

And you think some of us who make cheap money from making frivolous maintenance and repairing claims from those useless vehicles which Dare Adeleke have turned to gold by legally boarded them as extra revenue to the company should be happy? 

No, for striving hard to reposition, re-engineer, reform and re-invigorate the revenue base of Pacesetter Transport Company by blocking the loopholes and making straight the corners where we used to syphon the revenue of the company, Dare Adeleke must go. 

And  for Dare Adeleke being resourceful and proactive by injecting freshness, corporate branding, innovation and renovation into the hitherto dead Pacesetter Transport Company making its corpse health and not walking but running fast and fast, Dare Adeleke must go.

....all of una na oniyyeye 

Go ko, come ni 

Only useless goats like us  will ask him to go 

I hope you are not one of us  

Dare Adeleke is an asset to the Oyo State 

God will not smile at Gov Makinde for appointing our   enemy 

Signed 

Oyo State Associations of evil-doers,


blackmailers and cults averse to development.

Ire Ekiti sets for  2019
 Festival
 .. publishes  festival Bulletins
...Briefs media
The strides of Ekiti State Council for Arts and Culture at globalising Ogun Onire Festival through community participation and official collaboration is yielding a result
JKF -2 Arts and Culture vision of stoking our festivals for productive and purposeful engagement is being appreciated by some towns whose indigenes have seen the necessity of hearkening to the clarion call of Ekiti State Government through the Ekiti Council for Arts and Culture to add value to their festivals.
The people of Ire have not only embraced the new spirit of JKF 2 but have also gone  many miles in their efforts to enhance the forthcoming OgunOnire Festival
The Ire Ekiti Community apart from banning the use of cane during the festival has also embarked on the publication of community bulletin to create awareness of the innovations being brought into the celebration of the festival
While addressing a press conference yesterday, Chief Femi Ajayi, Chairman, 2019 OgunOnire festival said, " we are are going to dazzle the world   This year's OgunOnire festival will be different. It will be the best ever as we have reorganised and rejigged the order of procession in line with the dictate of time and moment  "
Chief Ajayi revealed that " There are many positive innovative modifications which the Committee has brought to bear on the festival. One of these is the fact that procession which was hitherto done with the cane will be done with palm fronds
Ajayi who commended the Governor of Ekiti, Dr Kayode Fayemi for being cultural friendly said that " We are grateful to Dr Kayode Fayemi for being a special breed of men in power who do not mower down the cultural heritage of his people but who has because of his keen interest in culture created and empowered Ekiti State Council for Arts and Culture and appointed seasoned cultural experts to manage its affairs'
 Chief Ajayi commended the Director-General of the Council, Ambassador Wale Ojo Lanre his resourcefulness, doggedness and agrarian efforts at implementing the cultural vision of Dr Kayode Fayemi
He pointed out that " Ambassador Ojo Lanre is a God sent a driver for the branding of OgunOnire Festival. He is a wonderful cultural enthusiast and developer. We thank God for his life'

Pastor kumuyi and his cockroach-infested coat. Is that one a Pastor? By Wale Ojo Lanre

Pastor kumuyi and his cockroach-infested coat. Is that one a Pastor? By Wale Ojo Lanre

Pastor kumuyi and his cockroach-infested coat. Is that one a Pastor?
By
Wale Ojo Lanre
Please I just ask a question
And if you are a man of God
And a lover of Jesus Christ
Even if you sincerely belong to the Deeper Life Church
You don't have to frown your face at this article
Or see me as a devil incarnate from Usi Ekiti
So
Please spare me your ' God punish you for your sacrilegious and degrading devil inspired a question or your Holy Ghost fire me ' stand
I just want you to know that
I am not a member of the Redeem Church of God
I don't belong to the Mountain of Fire Ministry
Neither do I belong to the Church of the rich man of Ota
I share no affiliation with Ile kewu graduate now Pastor Bakare
And I don't fancy the Jerry curl funky group of the Lord under Kris Okotie
I am a Catholic by both and by inclination
So nobody or group or sect is sponsoring this attack of mine against the person of Pastor Kumuyi
And I don't know when asking the question has become a sin against the man of God?
So , let your mind rest in peace or if you are not satisfied, it can blow into pieces.
Really let us say the fact
Let's us remain objective in this matter
And ask the question again
Look, is Pastor Kumuyi a Pastor or man of God ?
For me, I don't think so
Let us start straight away
Get a picture of Pastor Kumuyi
First, look at his hair
You will notice that the man is so stingy that he can only manage to wash his hair with water leaving it so natural without spending heavy amount of the Church's money in nurturing, tending and styling the hair to distract the eyes and hearts of the worshippers from the words being preached to the hair of the Pastor
Can you see his coat? Somebody described it as a cockroach infested cost. Does his coat look like a Pastor"s suit? It is from him that I know that there is a difference between a coat and a suit.
And you called him a Pastor when he can not deck himself in designer's latest brand but goes about in suit cut by one of his church members who must have learnt the trade from the late Pa  Noble, the USI Ekiti born first Ekiti man trained to be a professional tailor.
Look at his shoes,his attitude to the coat fashioned his attitude to shoe, a Pastor who shoes are countable and within the digit is that a Pastor ?
Pastors are known, recognised , cherished , adored , awed and respected by the number of aircraft they have on the tarmac or legions of exotic cars in their garages. God bless my Pastor Jerry curl singer. Are those not good pastors?
Excuse me, do you think Kumuyi is a Pastor indeed for refusing to buy a plane but rather built a first-class hospital where members of his church and public have access to free medical services? And you called him a Pastor?
To me, Pastor Kumuyi is not it at all.
I remember the day I mistakenly joined the Bamideles of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti for a marriage ceremony in his church in Ado.
You will not believe me, I came back home with the loads of naira which I wanted to drop at the church thinking that Deeper would be used and utilized the marriage ceremony to farm people off their pockets on different types of Thanksgiving offerings and money for this and that
And you think Pastor Kumuyi is a Pastor when he refused to use the church money to build a University which majority of his members will not have access to
And surprising, it is this church of Pastor Kumuyi which has no culture of spiritually forcing and luring members to donate money that has also find it very easy to construct a bridge for the use of the general public in Lagos
And tell me now, without any bias, is Pastor Kumuyi a man of God or god of men?

KIM KARDASHIAN LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE

kkmiddle(rgb)watermark.jpg
kkcover1(rgb)watermark.jpgKim wears Mikimoto necklaces and earrings, customized dress and vintage gloves throughout


If you know nothing else about Kim Kardashian, you know that she is very, very famous. Some would say that's all you need to know. At press time, she has 25 million Twitter followers, about a million less than Oprah Winfrey and nearly 5 million more than CNN Breaking News. Her Instagram account, where she is a prolific purveyor of selfies, is the site's third most popular. You can't walk through a supermarket without glimpsing her on a multitude of tabloids whose headlines holler about her relationships, her parenting style and the vicissitudes of her ample curves. But she has also graced the covers of highbrow fashion bibles like W and Vogue; with her now-husband, Kanye West, she appeared on the latter above the hashtag #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple, creating a furor that made it perhaps the #worldsmostcontroversialcover.

Her millions-strong popularity and inescapable media presence have made her grist for think pieces galore. She is variously seen as a feminist-entrepreneur-pop-culture-icon or a late-stage symptom of our society's myriad ills: narcissism, opportunism, unbridled ambition, unchecked capitalism. But behind all the hoopla, there is an actual woman -- a physical body where the forces of fame and wealth converge. Who isn't at least a tad curious about the flesh that carries the myth?

Unlike most people, she looks exactly the same in person as she does in photographs or on television, with one exception: she is smaller than she appears in images, with tiny, almost doll-like ears and feet and hands. Everything else about her seems amplified, tumescent. Her black hair is thicker than any you have ever seen, her lips fuller, her giant Bambi-eyes larger, their whites whiter, and the lashes that frame them longer. If some of this is the result of artificial enhancement -- does anyone else have eyelashes that resemble miniature feather dusters? -- none of it seems obviously ersatz. But that's not to say it looks real, either. She is like a beautiful anime character come to life.

kkmiddle(rgb)watermark.jpgAs soon as she arrives at the hostess podium of the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills, where we meet for our interview, a young fan who appears to be in her late teens or early twenties accosts her. The fan has been running to catch (keep up with?) Kardashian; she brings with her a breeze. "Will you take a selfie with me, Kim?" she pants. (This is what fans asks the High Priestess of Instagram -- autographs are so last century.) She obliges, leaning in for the picture and striding away almost before I can blink. "She's gonna post it," Kardashian says wryly. "I bet it's posted right now." Later, she will tell me that she's "not really a filter person," and that she doesn't generally use them when she publishes her many selfies. As she talks, I notice that her skin, which is the golden color of whiskey, is free of wrinkles, crow's feet, laugh lines, blemishes, freckles, moles, under-eye circles, scars, errant eyebrow hairs or human flaws of any kind. It's like she comes with a built-in filter of her own.

With its enveloping green leather booths and twinkling white garden lights, the Polo Lounge is a setting that lends itself to intimacy. Kardashian, who is wearing a monochromatic champagne-colored ensemble (Margiela bodysuit, Chloé silk pants, Lanvin silk coat), gives off a cozy vibe herself. She leans forward while she talks, resting her cheek in the palm of her hand as though she's chatting with her closest girlfriend. She tells me that the Kardashian clan is currently a week into filming season 10 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which she has called "the best family movie ever," never mind the rampant speculation, in early 2013, that season 9 would be her last. I'm surprised to hear that they still enjoy the process, since your typical American family would no longer be on speaking terms. "We're kind of obsessed with each other," she explains.

Today, a day off, she spent at a pumpkin patch with West, whom she repeatedly calls Kanye -- she clearly enjoys saying his name -- and their 16-month old daughter, North. They arrived at the farm unbothered by photographers, a rarity in the circus that is her life ("literally every single day there's about ten cars of paparazzi literally waiting outside our homes"). It wasn't long, however, before the paparazzi had surrounded them. "I couldn't really pick out our pumpkins, and [North] couldn't really enjoy it," she says. After a moment, perhaps concerned that she has come perilously close to complaining about her fame, she adds matter-of-factly: "You just have to not care. You just have to say, 'This is our life, and it is what it is.'" Her delivery is Zen-like, almost affectless, as it is on the show. "All my friends tell me the world could be coming to an end, and I'm always so calm," she says, opening a packet of Equal. She empties its contents into a glass of passion fruit iced tea, then fastidiously bites granules of sweetener off her manicured nails.

***

kkcover2(rgb)watermark.jpgThe rap on Kim Kardashian is that she has done nothing to merit her fame. But the longer I steep myself in the ambience of her pleasantly languid manner and hologram-perfect looks, the more facile this charge begins to seem. Of course, she has cannily leveraged that fame to build, with her sisters, a beauty-industrial complex, which includes a clothing line, a makeup line, a line of tanning products and seven perfumes. (A collection of hair care implements and styling products will debut in the spring.) Her mobile app, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, in which players climb their way to A-List status under Kardashian's tutelage, has earned over $43 million since its debut in June.

Yet her perceived lack of accomplishment is also, perhaps, an accomplishment in itself. Kardashian seems to know instinctively that, as Andy Warhol once observed, "When you just see somebody on the street, they can really have an aura. But then when they open their mouth, there goes the aura." Take the stream of small faux-confidences that she offers during the interview. They reveal very little yet foster a sense of closeness. She tells me that she is "obsessed with apps" but, when I ask her to name one, she replies, "I like all different apps." Of her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, one of her rare missteps that actually left a footprint, she says: "It's just one of those life lessons that you have to learn, and it's OK." Her behavior suggests that the key to total ubiquity is giving up all of one's verbal edges and sharp angles (while occasionally tossing out a memorable visual flare: a sex tape, say, or a nude photo shoot).

Social media has created a new kind of fame, and Kardashian is its paragon. It is a fame whose hallmark is agreeable omnipresence, which resembles a kind of evenly spread absence, soothing, tranquil and unobjectionable. There's an argument to be made that Kardashian has been recorded and viewed more often than any other personage in history, and while she has certainly had her awkward moments (posting a vampire facial on Instagram, announcing that she wanted to buy a stroller that complemented her unborn baby's skin color), she has also never made a truly ruinous gaffe, been caught in a Britney Spears-style public meltdown or sallied forth looking less than photogenic. As she puts it, "There's nothing we can do that's not documented, so why not look your best, and amazing?"

To mere mortals who occasionally visit the grocery store in yoga pants, her willpower and self-discipline are a marvel. Imagine being filmed and photographed constantly, yet never saying anything seriously controversial or appearing unkempt. The effort involved seems torturous, impossible. And yet, though her life requires work of a sort -- roughly two hours of hair and makeup each day, regular meetings for her assorted businesses, wardrobe fittings, photo shoots, 5:00 a.m. workouts -- you don't get the sense that she is hiding or suppressing her true, private self. "I think you've seen every side of me on my show," she says, popping a piece of pound cake into her mouth.

We're accustomed to our performers having onstage and backstage registers, but for her there is no division between the two. This is, indeed, the definition of a reality star. She's not performing, that is -- at least not visibly. She is being, and being is her act. Her appeal derives from her uncanny consistency, as does that of her show. It's relaxing to watch the sisters sprawl on each other's beds and talk about nothing, to see them discuss constipation cures or their preferred way to eat Nilla Wafers. Like Warhol's screen tests, Keeping Up With the Kardashians has a disarming purity. It invites us to glory in its stars' mundanity, which permits us to enjoy our own.

***

KKface(rgb)watermark.jpg"My makeup artist said to me the other day, 'You haven't taken a selfie in a while,'" Kardashian says, as the afternoon slides into evening and the light turns magic-hour blue. To remedy this, she posted one of herself in full makeup and a white terrycloth robe, with the literal caption, "It's been a while since I've taken a selfie." It garnered more than a half-a-million likes. Selfies have been on her mind lately. She is putting together a collection of her oeuvre, called Selfish, to be published by Rizzoli in the spring. She has spent hours sifting through her vast, meticulously organized digital archive. "The book company edited them, and I was like, 'Wait a minute! There are like 300 here that you're not adding!'" she says. I remark that I am surprised she can remember and differentiate among a bunch of near-identical photos of her face. She can, she says; she is organizing them chronologically, dating them by what she wore to specific events. "I know what I wore, what accessories I wore, where I was, who I was with," she tells me. "I remember everything." Her mind, it seems, traps the minutiae most of us forget. For her, though, it's not minutiae; it's her life, and her life is her career.

I ask her whether Kim Kardashian would exist without social media. "I don't think so..." she says, slowly, then reconsiders. "I don't think social media was that heavy when we started our show, but I think we really evolved with social media." The next day, as I scroll through Instagram, I come across a photograph of her, taken the night of our interview, wearing the champagne getup at a restaurant in Venice. I also find two photos of North toddling around the pumpkin patch in a tiny fringed cape and Baby Vans. One of these pictures has more than a million likes. "I love sharing my world with people," Kardashian tells me, and I detect no hint of falseness. "That's just who I am." No more, no less.
