Ile-Ife, Nigeria — The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, CFR, Ojaja II, has extended heartfelt congratulations to renowned journalist and cultural advocate, Chief Akogun Tola Adeniyi, as he marks his 80th birthday.
Describing the milestone as more than just a celebration of age, the Ooni hailed it as a tribute to Adeniyi’s decades-long contributions to truth, culture, nation-building, and the advancement of the Yoruba people.
“Akogun Tola Adeniyi has stood tall like a towering iroko in Nigeria’s media landscape,” the Ooni said in a statement issued by his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Otunba Moses Olafare. “He has wielded his pen like a sword, speaking up for the voiceless and confronting injustice with uncommon bravery.”
Over the years, Adeniyi has become a household name through his incisive columns, essays, and public commentary, which the Ooni described as a “sacred altar for justice, conscience, and cultural revival.”
In recognition of his commitment to Yoruba heritage and his wide influence across Yorubaland, Adeniyi has been conferred with several chieftaincy titles, including:
The Araba of Remoland
Bobagunwa of Ago-Iwoye
Akogun of Ijebu
Iroko of Yewaland
Aare Agbaakin of Ede
Otunba Awubiowu of Ijebu Ife
Aare Ologundudu of Lagos
Irunmole of Isamuro
Jagun Oodua of Yorubaland
At 80, the Ooni described Chief Adeniyi as “a beacon of wisdom, a fountain of cultural pride, and an unwavering voice in the storm,” whose legacy is etched not only in ink but in the hearts of all who cherish Yoruba values and identity.
“On behalf of the House of Oduduwa and the global Yoruba family, we celebrate you as a true Iroko of our time for your life of purpose and enduring inspiration,” the monarch said.
“May the spirits of our ancestors continue to strengthen you. Happy birthday, Akogun!”
A recent statement by Senator Solomon Adeola, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations and Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, published under the title “The Role of Legislature in Shaping a Holistic Budget for Nigeria,” has reignited public debate over the controversial practice of legislative budget insertions—commonly referred to as “budget padding.”
In his article, the Senator defends the legislature’s role in adjusting the federal budget, dismissing terms like “padding,” “insertions,” and “constituency projects” as misrepresentations of legitimate legislative contributions to the budgetary process.
At Echotitbits.com, we fully acknowledge the constitutional role of the National Assembly in reviewing and approving the national budget. However, we must respectfully challenge the narrative that legislative insertions are harmless or beneficial acts of “democracy in action.” On the contrary, such adjustments—when carried out outside the framework of national planning—continue to undermine Nigeria’s development agenda, weaken fiscal discipline, and compromise the integrity of public finance.
The Purpose of the Envelope
Nigeria operates a Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), an internationally recognized tool designed to align national spending with realistic revenue projections, development priorities, and sustainable debt levels.
Within this framework, each sector—education, health, roads, power—is assigned a budget “envelope” based on available funds and national strategic plans. These envelopes are not arbitrary figures. They are carefully calculated to ensure that the nation’s most pressing needs are funded first and that public spending remains sustainable.
When the legislature inserts hundreds of small, fragmented projects into the budget without reference to the MTEF, these envelopes are breached. Ministries are then forced to spread their limited resources across too many projects—many of which are duplicative, unviable, or politically motivated.
This is not merely a budgeting problem. It is a national development crisis.
A Real-World Example
Consider a real scenario:
• Let’s assume under the MTEF, ₦2 trillion is allocated to the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.
• National Planning identifies critical projects, including:
• The Lagos–Ibadan Expressway
• The Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano Road
• However, during the budget process, the National Assembly inserts hundreds of new road projects, each valued between ₦50 million and ₦200 million, scattered across various constituencies nationwide.
The result?
• Funding for the major highways—projects vital for national connectivity and economic growth—is slashed.
• Many of the smaller inserted roads are abandoned or remain incomplete due to inadequate funding and planning.
• The national transport strategy suffers, and Nigeria’s development goals are delayed.
This is a clear example of how legislative insertions can derail national priorities, waste resources, and leave citizens stranded with half-completed projects.
Insertions vs. National Priorities
Legislative insertions are often justified under the banner of promoting equity or delivering development to neglected areas. While this may sound noble in theory, it frequently leads to waste and inefficiency in practice. Projects inserted late into the budget process are rarely subjected to rigorous planning. They often lack feasibility studies, are poorly costed, and fail to align with sectoral strategies.
We have witnessed the consequences firsthand: unfinished health centres, abandoned rural roads, ghost ICT hubs, and duplicated training workshops. Meanwhile, large-scale national infrastructure—projects with the potential to drive economic growth, create jobs, and reduce poverty—remains underfunded or delayed.
This is not equity. It is inefficiency.
Who Really Benefits?
The Senator is correct in stating that lawmakers do not execute projects directly; instead, implementation falls to Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). However, this misses the critical issue. The core concern is how these projects enter the budget in the first place—and whose interests they ultimately serve.
Many inserted projects are awarded to politically connected contractors with little or no accountability to the communities they are meant to benefit. The result is an erosion of public trust in both the budget process and governance as a whole.
Strengthening the Budget Process
A credible budget process demands transparency, fiscal discipline, and a clear connection to national priorities. To achieve this:
1. All budget insertions must be made public, including details of their origin and justification.
2. Constituency needs should be integrated into national planning frameworks through structured dialogue—not through last-minute lobbying.
3. Sectoral envelopes must be respected, not breached.
4. The National Assembly should focus on strong oversight, ensuring that public funds deliver value for money rather than becoming vehicles for political patronage.
This is how democracy should function—not through distortions of the budget, but through accountability and measurable results.
Conclusion
The term “budget padding” is not a media invention. It reflects a budgeting culture that too often prioritizes political interests over Nigeria’s broader development goals. Rebranding insertions as “legislative adjustments” does not erase the very real consequences they have had on project execution, fiscal stability, and the welfare of ordinary Nigerians.
At Echotitbits.com, we believe that budget integrity is the cornerstone of responsible governance. If democracy is truly about the people, then our budget must reflect their genuine needs—not merely the influence of political actors.
Opinion: Nation Building Over Party Politics – Nigeria’s Path for the Next 24 Years
Nigeria stands at a crossroads where the choice between perpetual political brinkmanship and purposeful nation building will determine the fate of over 200 million people. For decades, our politics has revolved around personalities, ethnic arithmetic, and empty party slogans, rather than coherent ideologies or long-term visions. Today, no major political party in Nigeria sincerely advances a consistent political philosophy; instead, parties often serve as shifting platforms for elites to capture power, switch allegiances, and share spoils.
Given this reality, it is neither radical nor undemocratic to argue that the country’s focus over the next generation must shift decisively from party-centered politics to nation-centered governance. If those entrusted with leadership — regardless of partisan labels — dedicate themselves to genuine social and economic transformation, it should matter less whether they belong to one party or a hundred. What matters is progress, stability, and prosperity.
Critics may call this a drift toward a de facto one-party state, but it is better understood as a call for ideological unity on nation building. Nigeria desperately needs leaders who see beyond election cycles and prioritize industrialization, quality education, universal healthcare, modern infrastructure, and social justice. We need continuity in policies that work, not endless resets every four or eight years just because a new party wants to mark its territory.
History shows us that countries like Singapore and Rwanda achieved rapid development not by fetishizing partisan competition but by forging a national consensus on discipline, economic planning, and inclusive growth. In these contexts, the energy spent on political bickering was redirected into building systems, attracting investment, and delivering results.
Of course, the danger of unchecked power is real; accountability must never be sacrificed. But accountability can come through institutions — independent courts, vibrant civil society, free media — rather than the illusion of multiparty rivalry that offers no ideological choice. When opposition parties simply mirror ruling parties in opportunism, democracy becomes a hollow ritual.
For Nigeria, the question is simple: if a government is genuinely transforming the economy, empowering citizens, and entrenching good governance, why should the nation interrupt that trajectory in the name of an election that merely swaps one set of self-interested politicians for another? Why not build a broad coalition of stakeholders — across regions, ethnicities, faiths — around a shared developmental agenda and hold leaders accountable to that, rather than to party colors?
Over the next 24 years, what Nigeria needs is not a rotating door of politicians but a sustained national project: one that creates jobs, ends poverty, secures lives and property, modernizes agriculture, and raises Nigeria’s human capital. We should champion policies, not parties; performance, not propaganda; and unity, not division.
The time has come for Nigerians to reject the empty spectacle of party politics without ideology and embrace a renewed, patriotic commitment to nation building — for the sake of today’s citizens and generations yet unborn.
Site of the Collapsed Multi Storey Building, Banana Island, Lagos.
As rescue efforts continue in the search for missing persons at the collapsed seven-storey building at Banana Island in Ikoyi area of Lagos State, the authorities in Lagos engaged in buck-passing. The building, which was being developed by Joe Faraday, collapsed while workers were still on site on April 12, 2023.
The Lagos State government has now directed that all developments on Banana Island be placed on hold pending a comprehensive audit by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA). The audit will also be extended to other estates and gated communities.
In a statement, the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, led by Tayo Bamgbose-Martins, revealed that the collapsed seven-floor building was unapproved by the Ministry. The statement released by Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Mukaila Sanusi, confirmed that there were no fatalities and that the few people who sustained injuries during the unfortunate incident while casting was being done were being treated.
Officials from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), who arrived on the site less than an hour after the building collapsed, claimed that only one person was missing in the incident. However, some construction workers insisted that an engineer and a 30-year-old man lost their lives, and others were yet to be found.
The management of Banana Island Property Owners and Residents Association (BIPORAL) prevented newsmen from accessing the collapsed building site, with only foreign media practitioners allowed access.
Speaking to newsmen, the Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Special Duty and Intergovernmental Relations, Mobolaji Ogunlende, said seven persons who sustained minor injuries were treated on the spot, without any record of major casualties, while only one person was unaccounted for. The Permanent Secretary of LASEMA, Dr. Oluwafemi Oke-Osanyintolu, reassured the public that the government was on top of the situation and would take appropriate action.
He said: “We moved in swiftly when the incident happened with all the primary stakeholders. Our response time was 10 minutes. We checked with our life detector and did not locate anybody under the debris. We were able to rescue seven people alive and only one of the persons injured was taken to a private hospital, and he’s receiving adequate care.
“Regarding other buildings, we are going to carry out a holistic investigation.”
Dr. Akingbehin Samuel, the Head of Environmental Services in Ikoyi-Obalende, provided his assessment of the environmental health of the construction site, said: “Getting here, we can say there is no biological effect in this place. So, what we have to do is that people are cordoned off, we want to take stock of people coming here.
“We are much on the ground to prevent possible contamination and spread of diseases. Residents should maintain their peace because there is no danger to their health and the environment. Everyone should remain calm and this shouldn’t be seen as a tourist centre.”
Gbolahan Owodunni Oki, the General Manager of LASBCA, has instructed the private security personnel stationed at the facility to vacate the premises, as it is now under the ownership of the Lagos State government. He oversaw the welding of all gates on the property to secure it.
Meanwhile, the former President of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB), Mr. Kunle Awobodu, has decried the collapse of a building in Banana Island estate, citing it as evidence of a lack of professionalism in the country. He urged the Lagos authorities to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for the structural failure.
In an interview with The Guardian in Lagos, Awobodu expressed his disappointment that a building of such magnitude could collapse if professionals were involved in its construction and management. He also noted that the Building Collapse Prevention Guild (BCPG) has revised its tally of building collapses in Nigeria from 1974 to 2023 to 552, with Lagos State accounting for 59.06% of the incidents.
Awobodu stressed the need for the government to identify and punish those responsible for overseeing the building’s construction.
“This culture of forgiving or verbally reprimanding those who committed offences or fouled building regulations will encourage them to go back home and commit more wrongs, and it is not helping. That is why we keep having a repeat of such incidents.
“Building collapse within the most expensive terrain, a community well-organised or deemed well-organised in Nigeria sounded an aberration. Banana Island is the pride of all who admire the environment. This is a threat to the safety of human life and the value of land in one of the highly rated and secured abodes in Africa.”
“The image and reputation of those of us in the Nigerian building industry are at stake before the whole world. What excuses are we going to offer for the latest building collapse? It is unfortunate that nobody has been successfully prosecuted for building collapse offences in Nigeria.
“Quackery, compromise and impunity proceed unchecked. When human beings are not subjected to the law of consequence, misdeeds are absolved in sentiments. Alas, loss of life and property becomes a continuum,” he added.
The Lagos State government has initiated an investigation into the incident on the directive of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, while stating that no fatalities occurred. In a statement released by the commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, yesterday, it was revealed that 25 individuals were rescued from the site. Additionally, LASEMA utilized a high-precision 3-D Laser Imagery System to search for any signs of individuals trapped in the rubble, but found no evidence. Site supervisors have also conducted a roll call and confirmed that everyone is accounted for.
He said: “LASEMA has continued with the excavation of the site, using the architectural designs. The site has been divided into quadrants for a painstaking search and rescue operation.
“Presently, quadrants two and three have been levelled to ground zero, with the search operation completed. Quadrants one and four are ongoing.
“Physical Planning and Urban Development Commissioner, Bamgbose-Martins, an engineer, and Special Duties Adviser, Mobolaji Ogunlende, are co-ordinating the operations. LASEMA Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, is leading the search-and-rescue efforts.
“Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi has visited the site and hospitals where victims of the incident were admitted.
“Of the 25 persons rescued by LASEMA, 16 with moderate injuries were admitted at General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island and Police Hospital Falomo for treatment and care. Nine others with minor injuries, such as bruises, were treated and discharged at the site by Lagos State Ambulance Services (LASAMBUS).
“Of the 16 persons on admission, 11 were taken to Police Hospital Falomo. Some are required to come for daily follow-up and management. Three with various injuries, including blunt traumatic chest injury, knee injuries, deep lacerations and others, are on admission.
“At the General Hospital Odan, Lagos Island, there are five patients with more serious injuries.
“The state government, as a matter of policy, will be responsible for the emergency treatment and care, including the medical bills of the patients on admission, It will also provide a post-trauma counselling support and care for all victims through the Lagos MiND programme (Mental Health in Development), a free mental health counselling and support service provided by the Ministry of Health.”
On Thursday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) announced that Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, is currently taking a break in Europe before his inauguration on May 29.
This information was provided by Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary, during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today show. Morka added that Tinubu will be ready to take action as soon as he returns from Europe.
When questioned about Tinubu’s location, Morka responded, “He [Tinubu] is likely in Europe. He’s doing well. After the strenuous election period, he decided to take some time to rest.”
“Once he returns and he’s inaugurated on May 29, there will be no dulling. He’ll be saddled with the responsibility of running a country as massive and complex as Nigeria.
“I know he’ll be back in the country very shortly.”
He added, “It is working rest because even in his rest, he is also taking the time to reach out to heads of government and other levels of leadership of other countries that are vital to the agenda that he’s bringing in his new government.
“So, he’s not sleeping in his bed; he’s also in meetings regularly with all kinds of people who are travelling from other countries to see him preparatory to his inauguration. So, it’s a working visit.”
INEC declared Tinubu as the President-Elect on February 25 following his victory in the Presidential election.
On Wednesday, during a visit from a delegation led by Middle Belt Forum President, Dr. Bitrus Pogu in Makurdi, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom urged the Federal Government to suspend the National Population Census scheduled for May 2023.
Ortom claimed that there may be a hidden agenda behind the census and requested that the exercise be halted until the return of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to their homes.
He said, “The FG should suspend the issue of the census because it looks like the proposed census is coming with an agenda.
“So until they are able to restore security and all our IDPs return to their ancestral homes to give all of them opportunities to be counted in their homes of birth.
“Because I understand from the National Population Commission that those to be counted must be counted in their localities”.
With thousands of deaths within a year due to herdsmen attacks, Benue state holds the record for the highest number of attacks in the country.
Over two million people reside in various IDP camps across the state. Just a week ago, the notorious killer herdsmen raided one of these camps, resulting in the deaths of at least 35 individuals.
The Osun State Command of the Nigeria Police has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the lives and properties of residents in the state.
The command provided an update on its efforts to track down the kidnappers of Muhammad Jubril, who was abducted from his Ago-Igbira Fulani settlement in Ila-Orangun on Wednesday.
Reports indicate that the Amotekun Osun, along with other security agencies, had initiated a rescue operation to recover the victim and apprehend the kidnappers. In a statement released by the Command’s spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, the Osun Commissioner of Police, Patrick Kehinde Longe, revealed that on April 12, 2023, at approximately 7 am, a Sekiri Fulani, Mohammed Kajibo, reported that eight unknown gunmen, believed to be Fulani of the Bororo stock, had attacked the Ago Igbira settlement between 11 pm on April 11 and 12 am on April 12, 2023.
The statement further indicated that the attackers abducted Mohammed Jubril, aged 30, and injured Hassan Jubril during the invasion. The Police Command, in collaboration with the local vigilantes and hunters, swiftly sprang into action to locate the abductors. The Command thoroughly searched the forest area and deployed technical platforms to locate the position of the hoodlums.
“The Police Command will not rest on its oars until all criminal elements are apprehended and made to face justice,” Longe assured.
Meanwhile, The Osun Masterminds group has raised concerns about the frequent incidents of kidnapping, killings, and other criminal activities in the state.
According to the group’s Executive Director, Professor Wasiu Oyedokun Alli, the situation has created a state of insecurity and terror.
The group is disappointed that their earlier warning was not taken seriously by the authorities.
“We advise Governor Ademola Adeleke to act immediately, to restore confidence and peace in the state,” he said.
Presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and winner of the 2023 Presidential election, Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu, who won the presidential election held on Saturday, February 25, is facing a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja.
However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has requested that the court dismiss the petition. INEC attorney, Abubakar Mahmoud, argued that Tinubu had fulfilled all the legal requirements to be declared the winner of the election.
The petitioners are requesting that the court sets aside Tinubu’s victory, directs INEC to revoke the APC candidate’s certificate of return, and declares Abubakar the winner of the election.
INEC maintained that Tinubu met all legal requirements to be named the election’s winner and clarified that a candidate does not need to win 25% of the vote in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to be declared the winner.
Tinubu defeated 17 other candidates in the election, scoring a total of 8,794,726 votes, while Abubakar came in second with 6,984,520 votes, and Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party, came in third with 6,101,533 votes.
“Having scored at least one-quarter of the valid votes cast in 29 states, which is over and above the 2/3 states threshold required by the constitution, in addition to scoring the majority of the lawful votes cast at the election, the 2nd respondent was properly declared winner and returned as the president-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” INEC noted.
INEC has stated that Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), should be declared the winner of the election as he scored the highest number of valid votes cast, as well as at least 25% of the votes cast in not less than two-thirds of the states of the federation and the country’s capital.
The commission argued that the declaration and return of Tinubu was made in accordance with the provisions of Section 134 (2) (b) of the Constitution, having scored one-quarter (25%) of the valid votes cast in 29 states, which exceeds the constitutional threshold for such a declaration.
In response to Atiku Abubakar’s petition, INEC claimed that the PDP candidate could not have been declared the victor by the tribunal due to his failure to comply with the constitutional requirement.
“The petitioners neither scored the majority of the lawful votes cast at the election nor scored not less than one-quarter of the lawful votes cast in at least two-thirds of the 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, and therefore the 1st petitioner (Atiku) is not entitled to be returned as the winner of the presidential election conducted on Feb. 25,” INEC noted.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that the 2022 general election was conducted in accordance with the Electoral Act and was not tainted by any form of malpractice.
INEC also reiterated its commitment to holding free, fair, and credible elections by utilizing the BVAS device for electronic voter accreditation and uploading scanned copies of polling unit election results to the IRev portal.
Consequently, the commission has urged the court to reject Atiku’s petition.
File Photo: PEter Obi Arrives London to Meet UK Prime Minister at No. 10, Downing Street
Obi’s supporters, also known as Obidients, intervened to prevent Labour Party Presidential Candidate Peter Obi from spending more hours in detention over alleged impersonation.
Reports had earlier stated that Obi was detained at Heathrow Airport in London on charges of duplication, indicating that someone had been impersonating him in the UK.
Diran Onifade, spokesman for the Campaign Council, explained that Obi’s questioning was a result of the alleged offense.
However, the spontaneous reaction of Obi’s supporters at the airport saved him from further detention, following his return from an Easter celebration trip in London.
“He was questioned for a long time and it was very strange for a man who lived for over a decade in that country.
“Since Obi’s face was already an international frame, especially for Nigerians, Africans home, and in Diaspora who are likely to be Obidients, the people quickly raised their voices wondering why he was being delayed.
“The immigration officials who were also taken aback at the reaction of the people were forced to reveal that Obi was being questioned for a ‘DUPLICATION offense’ meaning that someone has been impersonating him in London.
“The high implication of the offense is that the impersonator could be committing all kinds of weighty crimes and other dubious acts and it would be recorded in Obi’s name,” Onifade said.
On Friday, the UK immigration officials reportedly detained Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, for hours and questioned him after his British Airways flight arrived at Heathrow Airport.
This was disclosed on Wednesday by Prof Chinyere Okunna, a renowned Mass Communications scholar, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Paul University Awka, and Obi’s confidant.
Okunna, who worked with Obi in various capacities, stated that the former governor narrated the ordeal to her in private and expressed distress about the situation, which he believed was designed to hound and force him out of Nigeria.
Okunna said: “I suppose he told me all this confidentially. My very sincere apologies, Your Excellency, for ‘breaking’ this confidentiality, but History beckons and I CANNOT KEEP QUIET.
“Obi spoke to me at the Official Opening of the Specialist Hospital of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) Sisters, Nkpor (on Tuesday). He had arrived at the event after flying in from London.
“I actually had no idea he had travelled out of the country, until the ovation over his presence in a London Church went viral on the Internet.
“He arrived at Heathrow Airport and joined the usual queue to pass through Immigration, and that was when his ordeal began.
“He was stopped and questioned for a long time and subsequently handed a detention note and told to wait for further interrogation and investigation.
“This was terribly unusual for a man who had lived honourably in the UK for a long time.
“In the face of this harassment, some well-meaning Nigerians, knowing who he is, raised their voices in protest, demanding to know why he was being treated that way.”
Okunna revealed that in the face of seeming protest by some Nigerians, the immigration officials revealed that someone was impersonating Obi in the country.
“The shocking revelation by the Immigration Officer was that his (Obi’s) identity ‘was duplicated’. This revelation has definitely set off alarm bells.
“For people who are knowledgeable about such matters, this is a very dangerous development because the implication is that someone is impersonating Peter Obi.
“And that someone could implicate Obi in all manner of dubious and even criminal activities, and rope him into any number of offences; he could get Obi framed for one criminal act or another. The frightening scenario of what can happen is unimaginable!!!
“This is the height of it all for a man who has been under sundry intimidation and emotional torture: Bugging of his phone and those of his wife and children; keeping him constantly under surveillance; calling him names; putting him under severe pressure to leave (run away from) the country; wrongly accusing him of negative things he knows absolutely nothing about, etc.
“As he was telling me his ‘Heathrow tale of woe’ at Nkpor today, I could see a man who was in severe pain and under unbearable stress, who many would expect to be at the point of despair.
“But, as he confirmed, he is ready to suffer this pain and is as determined as ever to pursue the path which he has chosen to enable him arrive at the destination which well-meaning people in Nigeria and far far beyond are expecting him to arrive at.”
