  • Their school, their pride

    Their school, their pride

    Old students of Olivet Baptist High School, Oyo State, have held their yearly dinner and award night at the Lagos Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Ikeja, reports SEUN AKIOYE

    INNUMERABLE lights dazzled the eyes as one stepped into the expensively furnished banquet hall of the Lagos

    Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Ikeja, venue of the yearly dinner and awards night of old students of Olivet Baptist High School, Olivet Heights, Oyo State, last Sunday.

    The alumni association has eight chapters – Lagos, Ibadan, Osogbo, Abeokuta, Abuja, Kano, Delta and the United Kingdom.

    At the right corner of the hall stood a small band, which played evergreen highlife music. Men and women stood in small groups exchanging pleasantries and engaging in discussions, which were intermittently followed by hearty laughs, pumping of hands and tight hugs, especially by friends who had not seen for long.

    As more people arrived, the groups expanded, with the new comers taking their seats. Some were elaborately dressed, others modestly.

    The Olivetians – as the old students call themselves – are from diverse backgrounds but are united by a common belief which they hold to passionately: that their alma mater is the best secondary school in Africa.

    At the gathering were captains of industry who had made their marks in their fields; politicians, legal luminaries and media gurus.

    The alumni’s brazen display of love and affection for their alma mater delighted the non-Olivetians present.

    After the exchange of pleasantries and with all seated, the school anthem was sung by Lola Odele.

    “The foresight of God’s own people, a new school created…by the highway stands the school, breaking, moulding, preparing for the future. Olivet Heights my school, oh my school,” brought back old memories.

    The association’s President, Mr Olusegun Ahmadu, an engineer, said the dinner was organised to bring old students together, identify and celebrate those who have excelled at their professions. He said the dinner provided a platform to draw attention to the beloved Olivet Heights.

    “We have rehabilitated the famous Jubilee Hall; we have also upgraded and dualised the road leading to the principal’s office. We donated a Toyota Coaster bus for the use of the students,” Ahmadu said to the delight of the gathering. But he warned that a lot still need to be done to develop Olivet High School and education in Nigeria.

    ” We need to partner to develop education in this country. These days you see students roam around streets at a time they should be in classes. They have little parental care. They go to bars and restaurants and share things with adults. We appeal to the government to allow us to partner to develop education,” Ahmadu said.

    Seven distinguished alumni were honoured for their contributions to the school and the society. Leading the group was Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly Hon. Monsurat Jumoke Sunmonu.

    Others were Dr. Olasupo Ayokunle; Registrar, Samuel Adegboyega University in Edo State, Mr Adeleke Adeboye; Permanent Secretary, Osun State Civil Service, Chief Bidemi Agbedahunsi; a lawyer, Mr. Biodun Laniyonu; Ayo Shamond an architect and a law Professor at the University of Lagos, Taiwo Osipitan (SAN).

    The event was not just about singing and dancing. The former students also charted a way for the development of Nigeria. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega was the guest speaker.

    Jega decried the state of education as he identified ‘chronic underfunding’ as the critical factor militating against the sector. He praised the industry of Olivetians, saying two old students of the college work at the management level at INEC.

    “I am proud to associate with you; your ambassadors at INEC are proud examples of your industry,” he said.

    While he praised the Olivetians for what they have achieved for their beloved alma mater, he urged them to continue in their efforts to lift education. The INEC boss also listed some of his programmes to ensure free and fair elections in 2015.

    He assured that even if corrupt politicians get hold of the voter’s cards it will be impossible to use them.

    “Even if politicians’ succeed in buying these cards, on voting day in 2015, God willing, it will be useless. We believe this is an important step forward that can add to the credibility of the electoral process.”

    As the evening wore on and the heavens opened up, the Olivetians continued their celebration. Toasts were given, speeches made and banters shared. Senior students mingled with the juniors, sharing drinks and discussing latest business trends. There was no discrimination, just a common love for Olivet Heights.

    Olivet Baptist High School was founded by American Southern Baptist Mission on January 29, 1945. The school became a force in the 1960s when it excelled in inter-school academic competitions and sports, earning its place in the hall of greatness.

    Some of the notable old students include Ayoola Oba Otudeko; former governors of Ekiti and Oyo states Ayodele Fayose and Rasheed Ladoja; Chairman, First Bank of Nigeria and Chairman of the event Prince Ajibola Afonja; businessman and Chairman, Bi-Courtney Ltd, Wale Babalakin; Director-General, Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, Ayo Shamonda; President, Nigeria Baptist Convention, Revd. Olasupo Ayokunle.

    Others at the event were Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) National Publicity Secretary Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji.

  • A prayer warrior goes home

    Politicians gathered in Jattu, Estako West Local Government Area of Edo State for the funeral of Pastor Francis Shaibu, father of Majority Leader of the House of Assembly, Hon Philip Shaibu. OSAGIE OTABOR was there.

    HE was described as a prayer warrior and a music lover; a good organiser of men and women; a man who believed in the welfare of others.

    These were some of the tributes paid to the late Pastor Francis Shaibu, father of Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Philip Shaibu.

    Pastor Shaibu died on June 23, and the funeral took place within one week in accordance with his wish that his remains should not be kept in the mortuary before interment.

    Those who spoke at the funeral service said the late Pastor Shaibu had a premonition of his death. He was said to have paid all his dues at the Estako Progressive Union in Kaduna; asked for forgiveness from those he offended and requested his children not to mourn him for long.

    The death of Pastor Shaibu, according to his son, Philip, came to the family as a surprise as there were moves to relocate him from his Kaduna base to his Jattu hometown. Philip said his father promised to return by December but returned home much earlier.

    The funeral began with a service of songs and lying-in-state at his Jattu residence. It was well attended by Philip’s political associates.

    Pastor George Okpebholo and a close friend of the deceased urged the gathering not to be sorrowful but to thank God for the life of the late Pastor Shaibu.

    He recounted their days in the ministry and urged the children to follow in their father’s footstep.

    Politicians of different political leanings stormed Jattu for the funeral. All hotels at Auchi and its environs were fully booked.

    At the service held at the DPS Event Centre, Jattu, the hall, which was decorated with blue and white was filled to capacity. Many sympathisers could not gain entrance; others stood till the service ended.

    Children and grand-children of the deceased wore white and were in a sorrowful mood. Dignitaries came from Kaduna to attend the funeral.

    Revd. Godwin Isah, who delivered the sermon, urged the congregation to do good at all times, bearing in mind what people would say after their death.

    Governor Adams Oshiomhole, in his tributes, recounted how the late Pastor Shaibu encouraged him to further his studies in Kaduna. He said the deceased helped to organise Estako Women Union in Kaduna and served as the secretary.

    Oshiomhole said: “I knew our late brother much more than people understand. Francis encouraged me to further my education. He introduced me to where I enrolled as an architectural draughtman. Our brother helped me and encouraged me to grow.”

    The governor urged the sympathisers to always tell the truth at all times, saying Nigeria was in trouble being led by men and women who try to bury the truth.

    Philip described his father’s death as a shock because they were preparing for his return home.

    “A week before he died, he told my brother that if he died he should be buried where people are being buried and that he should not be kept in a mortuary,” he said.

    Guests at the event included Edo State Deputy Governor Dr Pius Odubu; Commissioner for Works, Hon Osarodion Ogie Oluwole Iyamu; South south Vice Chairman of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu; members of Edo State House of Assembly led by Speaker Uyi Igbe; Hons Paschal Ugbome, Garuba Zakawanu and Godwin Imoudu; ACN Women Leader Modina Emovon, Director of State Security Service Bakori Bello-Tukur, among others.

    Inner Wheel gets two new clubs

    Inner Wheel Club has held its yearly general meeting in Lagos. Two new clubs were presented with their charter certificates on the occasion. BUKUNMI OGUNDARE reports.

    The Vocational Training Centre of the International Inner Wheel District 911, Amuwo Odofin, Lagos State, was a beehive as members gathered for the yearly general meeting and presentation of certificates to new clubs.

    The twin events featured the presentation of charter certificates to two new clubs in Lagos and Ogun states.

    Members and friends of the club trooped into the venue as early as 10 am.

    Most of them shone in native attires; a few were on English wears.

    The decoration of the hall spoke volume. It was beautifully done in various colours, with blue and yellow standing out.

    Welcoming guests, the club’s President, Mrs Taiwo Adisa, thanked all for their support over the years.

    After her speech, chartered certificates were presented to Igbe, a suburb of Ikorodu and Olumo in Abeokuta, Ogun State as new clubs.

    “The clubs were presented with the certificates because they have been up-to-date with their financial obligations,” Mrs Adisa said.

    There was excitement when the new clubs were presented with their certificates. Receiving the certificate as Chartered President for Igbe Ikorodu, Mrs Wemimo Olasanya, praised the club for its foresight in granting certificates to the two clubs, saying it will open new opportunities for the club to extend its hands of fellowship to more members of the society in providing them relief materials and making available projects that will better the lives of the host communities and Nigeria at large.

    She said the presentation of the certificate is a dream come true.

    “It has being a long time dream for me, but I was only waiting for the appointed time. When the time came, I quickly swung into action by forming Inner Wheel Igbe Ikorodu Club. They are already well-informed because we meet once in a month to look at the club’s programme and discuss its progress. Thank God we are granted the certificate today,” she said.

    She said she had been able to introduce the Inner Wheel Club core objectives and programmes to the members and they promised to work in accordance with the the constitution and for service to humanity.

    Guests on the occasion include Vice Chairman, Inner wheel, Mrs Yemisi Alatise; Mrs Lanre Olomofe Kufeji; former Chairman Mrs Zainab Ikheloa; Victoria Ikogwe; Meg Adegoke; Mrs Sumbo Osunbayo and Mrs. Joe Ebo.

  • For a corrupt-free society

    For a corrupt-free society

    The University of Lagos Muslim Alumni (UMA) held its 19th Pre-Ramadan lecture last Sunday in Lagos. OLATUNDE ODEBIYI was there.

    The downpour did not prevent many from attending the event. They walked all the way to the auditorium from the park.

    Guests came in exotic cars. Security officials and ushers stood in and outside the hall to ensure that guests were comfortable.

    The hall was decorated in pink, blue and cream. Many of the guests were in traditional attires; many women donned hijabs.

    Men sat on the right, women on the left.

    It was the 19th pre-Ramadan lecture organised by the University of Lagos Muslim Alumni with the theme: Corruption and justice in Nigeria.

    Dignitaries, members of the association and well-wishers converged on the main auditorium of the school last Sunday for the event.

    The event started with the opening du’a and recitation from the holy Quran. It also featured the award of postgraduate scholarships to some applicants. Six doctorate and 12 Masters students were given scholarship.

    The association’s Deputy President and Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, Dr Khalid Adekoya, said the scholarships were given to encourage Muslims in their academics.

    In his welcome address, the President of the association, Alhaji Lere Alimi, said “corruption is the main reason for the decay in our educational system, health facilities, security system and infrastructure.

    “Funds that are supposed to be used to provide amenities by the government have been either embezzled, misapplied or misappropriated,” he said.

    Chairman on the occasion, Alhaji Yusuf Ali (SAN) said: “Doing away with corruption will benefit the entire country. Ramadan is a time to renew our minds and set the pace for others.”

    The first guest speaker was the former chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu. He argued that corruption is the major factor undermining the nation’s independence, economy and politics.

    He expressed concern over the level of corruption in Nigeria, saying so many corrupt people get away with their acts, largely because of their relationships with heads of institutions that ought to counter or expose their abuse of office.

    He added that the National and State Assemblies, independent and incorruptible judiciary, the law enforcement agencies have to be enhanced to win the war against corruption.

    National Missioner, Nasrul-Lahi-L-Faith Society of Nigeria (NASFAT), Sheikh Abdullah Akinbode, enjoined Muslims to be faithful and trust worthy.

    Sheikh Akinbode urged them to do that which is right and to shun evil.

    “We should reconstruct ourselves and redefine our strategies, renew our minds to achieve the life Allah wants us to live. This is what we should ensure during Ramadan,” he said.

    Lagos State Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, who was represented by the Senior Special Assistant on Religious Matters (Islam), Hakeem Kosoko, said Ramadan is a time for Muslims to be steadfast in the teachings and practise of Islam.

    “We are expected to be of good conduct, good behaviour and do what will be beneficial to people around us in and out of Ramadan,” he said.

    Justice Habeeb Wale Abiru of the Court of Appeal, described Ramadan as a time to unite and understand what it takes to be a human being

    He enjoined religious leaders to shun corruption, saying that when we have a corrupt-free nation, everyone will benefit.

    He noted that the proceed from the fund raiser would be used for the common good of the people.

    Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos, Prof Rahaman Bello, said Ramadan is a season for spiritual engagement.

    Action Congress of Nigeria National Legal Adviser Dr Muiz Banire said Ramadan teaches mankind how to be generous and be one’s brothers’ keeper.

    “We must watch over our neighbours and ensure that they are happy with us. It is a season to share with others because some people do not have at all. Religious leaders should not just preach, but must set good examples for others in their behaviours,” he said.

  • Honour for a ‘diligent’ man

    ARCO Petrochemical Engineering Plc held a dinner on Thursday last week in Lagos to honour the President, Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) International and Chairman, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) Sir Egbert Imomoh, reports NNEKA NWANERI.

    SIR Egbert Imomoh has entered the Guinness Book of Records as the first black and African to become the President, Society of Petroleum Engineers International.

    “His future was predicted by the headmaster of Immaculate Conception High School, Enugu, because he was studious and intelligent. The prophecy has come to pass. He has made us proud nationally and internationally by erasing the negative perception the world has about Nigeria,” said former Minister of Petroleum Chief Don Etiebet, who has been a friend and colleague of Imomoh since their primary school days.

    Last Thursday, his colleagues gathered at the Sky Restaurant, on the topmost floor of Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, to felicitate with him.

    As guests stepped out of the elevator, they were greeted by a waiter, who handed them a glass of wine during the cocktail before the dinner.

    The hall was conducive. While they drank and chatted, old friends caught up recent happenings.

    The view was stunning. The Atlantic Ocean was seen through a glass. The scenery was enchanting and guests were relaxed.

    Saxophonist Yemi Sax played scintillating tunes.

    Two hours after cocktail, guests were ushered into the restaurant, where the tables were already set for dinner. It was segmented by shiny crystal decorations.

    Frank Edoho of Who Wants to be a Millionaire anchored the ceremony.

    Hon Uduimo Itsueli prayed to the kick start the event.

    Chief Executive Officer of ARCO Petrochemicals Alfred Okoigun, in a welcome address, said the honour for Sir Egbert was well-deserved, adding that being the second Nigerian to become Deputy Director of Shell Exploration after Mr Godwin Omene earned him the name ‘Mr Shell’.

    He added that it took Imomoh six months to agree to the dinner date. He thanked him for excelling in the global arena and making the country proud.

    A similar dinner was hosted last year by ARCO for former minister of Power Prof Barth Nnaji and Dr Henrietta Ugwu, in London, for excelling in science and technology.

    “He has distinguished himself in the true sense of it, considering what the world thinks of Nigerians. He has exhibited his nationalism and changed the industry to be of world class through his intellectualism”, Okoigun said.

    He appealed to Sir Egbert to come back after his tenure to help develop the country.

    Every speaker poured encomiums on Sir Egbert. He was in the spotlight.

    To Ademola Adeyemi – Bero, Sir Egbert is a friend, confidante and a living example.

    One of Sir Egbert’s sisters, Mrs Gloria Aiyegbusi relieved how they lost their father at a tender age and were educated by an illiterate mother.

    “All I can say is that with God, all things are possible,” she said.

    Sir Egbert was short of words to respond to all that was said about him. He said though he studied Mechanical Engineering for his first degree, he has never practised. With stories to illustrate, he told his friends and associates of how he renews his passport every 18 months because he travels often.

    “People now call me VIPP- meaning Visa in Previous Passports. I have gone to places I never dreamt of and met people I never thought I will meet. I have no home; I sleep in hotels and aeroplanes. All I do is seek good and do what is right,” he said.

    Giving an insight into what he hopes to do when he retires in October, he said: “I will rest and enjoy my life with my wife and children who are scattered all over the world.”

    Sir Egbert was born in 1945. He hails from Agenebode in Edo State. He attended St Patrick and St Theresa Primary Schools, in Zaria, Kaduna State. He graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1968 and he bagged a Doctorate Degree of Science from the University of Port Harcourt in 2012.

    He is a Knight of the Order of the Knights of St Mulumba.

    At the event were: Managing Director of Ecobank, Jubril Aku; Chairman of Channels TV, John Momoh; The Nation Editorial Board Chairman, Mr Sam Omatseye; Chairman ICMG Securities Ltd, Michael Osime; Rev Anthony Fadairo of Divine Mercy Catholic Church, Lekki; Chairman, Sovereign Trust Insurance Ltd, Ephraim Faloughi.

    Also present were some students.

  • Persuasive Speech (5)

    How to Persuade reluctant audience

    We have been having a nice time talking about persuasive speech. We are deliberately spending quality time on this type of speech because it is what I will like call an “action speech.” While I was in school, I often wondered how applicable some of the things I was learning were. What is the relationship between theory and practice? If, for instance, I studied business management in school, does that mean I can go right ahead and manage a business? Well, information alone has the tendency of leaving us hanging if we don’t know how to convert it into useful activities. Hence, persuasive speech always aims at showing its audience an action path, how to walk therein and the time to start, which is now!

    Last week, we examined some of the challenges a persuasive speaker is likely to face, which are making the audience to listen, dealing with attitudes towards commitment and dealing with ethical challenges. Today, we shall be exploring the ways we can persuade reluctant listeners. The strategies we shall be discussing are very important and they can make a difference when you really need success. Now, let’s check them out:

    • Win goodwill early: you cannot possibly speak to people who have not accepted your person. Your listeners must accept you before they accept you ideas. So, at the very beginning of your speech, you must win the hearts of your listeners. One of the most effective ways to do this is to associate with them. Look for what you have in common with them- culture, past experiences, values, mutual respect for an iconic person known to your audience, etc. Simply put, start on a friendly note. It is easier to persuade friends than to persuade enemies.

    • Begin with areas of mutual agreement: you will be making a terrible mistake if you begin your speech on sensitive and controversial issues. You will be killing the cow before milking it. If you want to make a presentation about improving management efficiency in your organization, you don’t begin by condemning current practices and blaming people for the situation. You have to begin by appreciating efforts made so far, and then go on to talk about there always being room for improvement. Who would disagree with that? To persuade people, you should look for areas in which you agree, and then you can move gradually towards your point. Always respect your audience.

    • Present your points instead of rejecting theirs: focus your attention on explaining your points with as much clarity and facts as possible. If your preoccupation is to disabuse their minds, you will spend more time arguing. You will end up getting yourself into situations that are better avoided.

    • Cite authorities accepted and respected by your audience: this is a very good means of winning the goodwill of your audience. If your talk is on the prevention of HIV/AIDS through abstinence, for instance, and your listeners are youths, you may want to cite a movie star, musician or fashion legend as an example. If they truly respect and accept that individual, they will also respect his/her views.

    • Don’t aim too high: it may amount to a tall dream if you expect that the entire (formerly unsympathetic) members of the audience would simply “fall at your feet” at the end of your speech and accept all you say. While this happens easily in movies, real life is something else. Don’t set goals that are too high for yourself. If they listen to you enough to consider your points as being realistic, you have achieved a lot already. If they are willing to listen to you again sometime in the future, it means they may buy your idea after more clarification. And if they are willing to act according to your suggestions, then congratulations!

    • Make a balanced presentation: throughout your speech, your listeners should be able to see that you are mindful of all sides of the argument. You shouldn’t focus on your own points alone so that you don’t seem narrow minded. Your audience must believe that you have considered all sides before taking your stand.

    Above are some strategies that will help you to convince your reluctant audience. These are just few points, and I suggest you read more on the topic. With this, we have come to the end of our adventure on persuasive speech. But, hey, we are not done yet! There are other types of speeches to explore and I’m sure you’ll really enjoy them. Watch out.
