How Nigeria can maximize its green potential for tourism development By Wale Ojo - Lanre Wednesday 27 September 2023 was World Tourism Day with the theme: Tourism and Green Investments.

God answers prayers faster in Ekiti Mountains - Pastor Dozie Nwabueze This is what Pastor Nwabueze told me about Ekiti in Jerusalem, on 12 August 2015 We were quartered in the same hotel Jerusalem Gate Hotel.

*OF AJULO, THE TRUTH PINCH, AND THE OUTCRY* ...Re: Kayode Ajulo: The Political Marabout And His Self-Service Sermon By Abayomi Adebayo *_20- Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21- She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22- How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? (Proverbs 1:20-22)_* Engaging in social and public issues that concern the government necessitates a discerning mind capable of separating personal biases from objective truth. It requires wisdom to understand that attacking the messenger only perpetuates division and impedes collective growth. Embracing wisdom in such engagement means recognizing that honest criticism and open dialogue are essential for societal progress. Therefore, the profitability of employing wisdom in public issues lies not in attacking the messenger who speak

Kayode Olagunju! Why this nonsense of yours? Do I say nonsense? Honestly, tell me, have I written nonsense? Read my statement very well Maybe something is wrong somewhere. However special thanks to Kayode Olagunju for saving lives 2014. Though you must do it. Yes, you are being paid like other government officials to do your job. But what I have noticed in you since 1992 at my first encounter with you at Lafia Hotel, Ibadan Oyo state is the agrarian ability to inject passion and chronic patriotism into a government job. Maybe this is what I called nonsense I cannot forget that day when you assembled articulated drivers ( Tanker Drivers Union) at that hotel telling and teaching them how to behave on the road. Your words "sane mentality " has been my guiding and driving manners. I learned the "Sane mentality " from you which you explained this " See yourself as the only sane person on the road. Consider that the other cars behind you and the rear are full

Okundaiye preserve s relics of Ogidi Wale . July 4 Nigerian Tribune ONE of the Eurocentric writers once described Africans as a bunch of people with no past, no history and no future. This jaundiced view was blindly bought hook, line and sinker by many Europeans for donkey years until historical and empirical evidences exposed the fact that Africa is not only the cradle of humanity, but the nerve centre and origin of global civilization and development. This challenge has tickled the sensibilities of Africans at researching into their communities by browsing through their history of existence raising questions about the activities of their progenitors. And this has paid off severally and still revealing the fact that Africans are not only people with glorious past, but wonderful and proudly intelligent progenitors. For Chief Nike Okundaiye, one of the world’s most respected artists and traditional textile designers, her place of birth, Ogidi Ijumu, Kogi State, Nigeria has so
