    Oshodi re-elected ITTF VP

    Nigeria’s Wahid Enitan Oshodi has been re-elected as Executive Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) during the continuation of its Annual General Meeting (AGM), held online on Saturday, November 15, 2025.

    Former Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) Secretary General Olabanji Oladapo, has also been confirmed as a member of the ITTF Council following the ratification of new Council Members.

    Oshodi, who serves as President of ITTF Africa, secured his seat in the first round of voting, which featured 15 candidates from around the world. 

    He finished among the top seven alongside representatives from the United States, China, Turkey, Australia, Ecuador, Romania, and Jordan. Among the three African contenders—Oshodi, Egypt’s Alaa Meshref, and South Africa’s Hajera Kajee—Oshodi was the sole candidate elected to the eight-member Vice President team.

    He and China’s Liu Guoliang are the only returning members from the outgoing executive board, with six newcomers set to join them.

    Oshodi will now serve a second four-year term (2025–2029) alongside ITTF President Petra Sörling, continuing his efforts to enhance Africa’s voice and influence on the global stage.

    A seasoned sports administrator, lawyer, and civil engineer, Oshodi has held several key leadership roles in Nigeria and across Africa. As Lagos State Commissioner for Youth, Sports, and Social Development from 2011, he organised the 2012 National Sports Festival and oversaw major infrastructure projects.

    As President of the Nigerian Table Tennis Federation from 2013, he drove youth development initiatives and elevated the country’s international profile by hosting ITTF Challenger tournaments.

    Oshodi’s ascent in continental leadership began in 2016 when he became Vice President of ITTF Africa (Western Region). He later rose to Deputy President of the African Table Tennis Federation (ATTF) in 2021 and was elected President in 2024, championing broader access and participation in the sport across Africa.

    With his re-election, Oshodi is set to continue shaping the global development of table tennis while reinforcing Africa’s position within the ITTF.

  • NGO empowers 50 widows in Oshodi

    NGO empowers 50 widows in Oshodi

    • By Aishat Ahmed

    The Oshodi Noble Heritage (ONH) has empowered 50 widows at the 12th edition of its Widows’ Empowerment Programme (WEP).

    Since its inception in 2017, the community-based initiative has empowered over 345 widows across Lagos and Ogun states, providing financial and moral support to help them start or expand small-scale businesses.

    Speaking at the event, the Pioneer Coordinator, Ambassador Hakeem Opadijo, said the programme was designed to provide sustainable empowerment to widows through financial assistance, mentorship, and long-term monitoring.

    According to him, each beneficiary received an initial sum of N50,000 as start-up support, after which their progress would be monitored for possible future assistance.

    He said: “We began this initiative in 2017 and have empowered 345 widows so far. The turnout this year is massive, and all beneficiaries were screened to ensure only genuinely qualified widows benefited.”

    “We don’t just give funds and walk away. We follow up to ensure proper utilisation. Many of them have grown their businesses to the point where they can now contribute as much as N5,000 monthly, which is a sign of real progress,” he added.

    He emphasised that the scheme was open to all, regardless of tribe or religion, and beneficiaries were selected based on need, honesty, and commitment to improving their livelihoods.

    Opadijo urged widows not to lose hope but to remain focused, live modestly, and build supportive networks. He also called on the government to involve grassroots organisations in implementing empowerment schemes.

    “Government is trying, but many of their initiatives are politicised. Groups like ours understand grassroots realities and can help ensure empowerment funds reach the right people,” he said. The Programme Coordinator, Ogunnaike Alao, urged beneficiaries to make judicious use of the funds for their businesses.

    “We will continue to follow up and ensure this support creates lasting impact,” he said.

    He praised the dedication of the ONH team and volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the programme, which coincided with the organisation’s 25th anniversary.

  • Oshodi seeks re-election as ITTF Executive Vice President

    Oshodi seeks re-election as ITTF Executive Vice President

    Nigeria’s Wahid Enitan Oshodi will be among 17 global candidates vying for eight available positions as Executive Vice Presidents of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF)  today in Doha, Qatar.

    The election will take place during the ITTF Annual General Meeting. All candidates have been vetted and approved by the Nominations Committee following the ITTF Electoral and Appointment Regulations, following their meeting on March 6, 2025.

    Oshodi, one of four incumbents seeking re-election, is widely regarded as a strong contender due to his significant contributions during his first term on the Executive Board. His leadership and diplomacy have earned him respect within the global table tennis community.

    In 2024, Oshodi was elected President of the African Table Tennis Federation (ITTF Africa), further cementing his influence in the sport. He played a pivotal role in resolving tensions between World Table Tennis (WTT) and the athletes’ community, enhancing his reputation as a unifying figure.

    Other candidates for the Executive Vice President positions include: Hajera Hajee (South Africa), Robert Jjagwe (Uganda), Ayman Ali (Sudan), Beatrice Romanescu (Romania), Paul Calle (Ecuador), Ichiro Hoshino (Japan), Imre Kovacsics (Hungary), Veli Ozan Cakir (Turkey), Alaor Azevedo (Brazil), Alaa Meshref (Egypt), Anthony Moore (Australia), Liu Guoliang (China), Stefano Bosi (Italy), Princess Zeina Rashid (Jordan), Virginia Sung (USA) and Ryu Seungmin (South Korea).

    Meanwhile, Andrew Mudibo (Kenya), Elhajji Monqid (Morocco), and Lotfi Guerfel (Tunisia) have withdrawn their candidacies.

    In addition to the Vice Presidential race, the ITTF Presidential election will also take place, featuring three candidates: incumbent Petra Sörling (Sweden), Khalil Al-Mohannadi (Qatar), and newcomer Mohamed El Hacen Ahmed Salem (Mauritania).

    Sörling, the first female ITTF President, was elected in 2021 during a turbulent period marked by the global pandemic and geopolitical tensions. Her tenure has been credited with stabilising the federation’s finances and promoting unity through sport. She also became the first ITTF President to earn a seat on the International Olympic Committee (IOC), a milestone that has elevated the sport’s global profile.

    Backed by major sporting nations, Sörling is seeking a second term to build on the momentum of the past four years and continue advancing the sport worldwide.

    The ITTF, with 227 member associations, remains the largest sports federation globally, and the upcoming elections are expected to shape the future of table tennis for years to come.

  • ‘Feed the Community’ Volunteers  hit Oshodi market with food, hope

    ‘Feed the Community’ Volunteers  hit Oshodi market with food, hope

    A dedicated group of volunteers  at the weekend brought their monthly outreach, Feed the Community, to Oshodi Market, one of Lagos State’s busiest commercial centers.

    The team, known for their vibrant costumes and lively street presence, served more than just meals; they delivered compassion, unity, and a reminder that kindness still thrives.

    As part of their One Meal a Day campaign, the volunteers distributed freshly prepared food and drinks to hundreds of residents, traders, commuters, and passersby, free of charge.

    The initiative, which holds similar outreach events every month, has become a beacon of hope for many facing daily food insecurity.

    The team, led by Blessing Oke, popularly known as Ocare the Everyday Hero, donned superhero-themed outfits as a creative way to engage with the public and reinforce their message: heroism lies in helping others.

    “We want to be remembered not just as people who fed the community, but as those who brought hope,” said Ocare. Dressed in her signature red and black costume, she led the team through the market, laughing and dancing with locals while encouraging them to enjoy the free meals.

    Claire AI, another volunteer who portrayed a friendly artificial intelligence robot, echoed the importance of community care.

     “Sometimes crowd control is tough and people don’t understand our mission immediately, but we’re trained to handle it. We are here to serve.”

    Other team members, Lady Veee, Legend, and Dorathy, ass BB miî I’malso took on symbolic characters, engaging warmly with children, market women, and the elderly.

    “This is more than just feeding people,” said Lady Veee. “It’s about putting smiles on faces, especially now that so many Nigerians are struggling to afford one full meal a day.”

    The initiative, which is currently self-funded, is seeking collaborations, sponsorships, and partnerships to expand its reach.

    Claire AI mentioned plans to increase the frequency of the program from monthly to weekly or even daily, should adequate support be secured.

    The impact is already visible. “People are fed, they’re happy, and they’re praying for us,” said Alloysius Etim, aka Legend. “That’s what community service is about.”

    Beyond food distribution, the Feed the Community program is part of a broader mission led by Ocare Foundation.

    The foundation also engages in other outreach activities such as empowering small businesses, supporting families financially, and distributing gifts to children in local playgrounds.

    “This is just one arm of what we do,” explained Ocare. “Our aim is to support the underserved in every possible way, and we hope that more people and brands will join us in this mission.”

    To volunteer, donate, or learn more about the initiative, visit @ocareofficial across social media platforms or email takealookmegaint@gmail.com.

    In a world where hope is often in short supply, one woman is lighting up communities across Nigeria, not with superpowers, but with laughter, love, and bold acts of kindness.

    Known as Ocare the Everyday Hero, Blessing Oke is a content creator, actress, and activist who uses her platform to inspire others through Afrocentric storytelling, skits, and charitable outreach.

    Her red-and-black costume symbolizes the courage of ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things.

    “I created Ocare to prove that you don’t need superpowers to be a hero, just a good heart,” she says.

    With a growing presence on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Cheelee (@ocareofficial), she is building a digital movement that turns everyday people into real-life heroes, one meal, one smile, and one act of kindness at a time.

    Chairman of Isolo LCDA, Adebayo Olasoju, praised the collaborative nature of the programme, highlighting the unity between the three councils.

    “We want the beneficiaries to use these items judiciously to improve their lives,” he said.

    “We provided freezers, sewing machines, and goods to hawkers, ensuring they have what they need to support their families. This festive period is the perfect time to give back,” she said.

    Otunba Kehinde Oloyede Al-Marouf, Chairman of Oshodi-Isolo LCDA, emphasised the significance of empowering women and widows.

    A beneficiary, Mrs. Adeshina Fausat, thanked the organisers for their support.

  • Leadership Redefined at Oshodi

    Leadership Redefined at Oshodi

    By Tunde Akanni

    “Now, you have called us to duty. We feel honoured to be so called. We are ready to take this community to the heights. Resources, in sha Allah, will not deter us. But I will love to plead with our elders, with due respect, to get ready to buy into new ideas that will reflect global best practices. We may disagree at some point, but our common interest must be constant and that is to develop Oshodi by modernizing the facilities we can all proudly call our own. We are poised to give our best. We beseech Allah to give us all the needed strength and bless same as we embark on our lofty mission. Oshodi is our own, so we must be ready to develop it on our own rather than concede unnecessarily to charlatans.”

    This was Engineer AbdulFatah Odebisi speaking immediately after he was turbanned as Baba Adinni of Oshodi Central Mosque. As a demonstration of his sincerity, Odebisi immediately donated a whopping ten million Naira. Topping the donation immediately were three of his sons, Ibraheem, Abubakar and Yusuf, who also donated one million Naira each. From the Odebisi household alone, #13 million Naira was raised. Thunderous chorus of Allah Akbar instantly drowned the entire crowd.

    Meanwhile, Engineer Odebisi’s soulmate of decades, Barrister Zikrullah Hassan, who was former national president of the Muslim Student Society of Nigeria, MSSN, and retired recently as Chair of the National Hajj Commission, NAHCON, had complemented his friend’s donation with another million Naira.

    While the donations were still being celebrated Sheikh Thauban Al-Ilory, son of the legendary Islamic scholar, Adam Al-Ilory, pleaded for quietude. Sheikh Thauban had the distinguished pleasure of doing the ceremonial weaving of the turban for Baba Adinni.

    “I’m not sure many of us here know the real capacity of this new Baba Adinni of Oshodi.” The Sheikh announced to the surprise of many. He continued: “ I have a small story to share here about this great man before tying this turban” The entire audience became anxious. Thauban cast glances around and wanted to be sure that his story would be heard by all. He then continued: “In the United States of America where this our great brother lives, he has accomplished great feats.” The audience wanted more:  “We should just be prayerful and do all that is possible to keep encouraging him. So, near Philadelphia, recently  a church building with multiple adjoining halls was on offer for sale. Who could buy? Who will buy? Our brother stepped forward and bought the vast facilities! E gbOLohun tobi Jamaa!”  Thus came the shouts of “Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar…” The excitement was total and elicited near interminable celebrations. The Islamic bandiri drumbeats jumped into frenzy with accompanying ecstasy of communal unison.

    Far from the recurrent louts with seeming larger than life visibility across social media platforms dispensing torrential violence,

    Concerned Oshodi men and women with self proclamation as the best among humans have conceptualized some grand renewal for their community. The task is for all Oshodi folks to implement through and through.  Organised groups of decent men and women like the Ibile Group as well as dignitaries of varying professional inclinations and ranking including businessmen and businesswomen across sectors deemed important enough in Oshodi showed up and promptly. None seemed to be in a hurry, obviously in relish of the spectacle of commitment generously on display by both the honourees and their guests at the special event.  Elderly Adele Oshodi, Alhaji Lukman Mabinuori  sat patiently all through on the high table with Mogaji ile Sule of Oshodi, Bale of Obanikoro Aare Adinni of Oshodi, Alhaji Moroof Akanni Olorunloju  as well as the Grand Mufti of Ilorin, Alhaji Faruq Onikijipa who was also the guest lecturer of the day.

    Highly revered for his philosophical presentations never devoid of oratorical proficiency for holding audiences spellbound, he explained that titles otherwise known as lakobu for muslims does not deserve harsh criticism from those who may not subscribe to it. According to him, there were reliable quranic authorities strong enough to substantiate it as there were prophets with additional nomenclatures with which they were referred to by the Almighty Allah in the Quran. “Our incontrovertible leader, Muhammad, PBUH, for instance is otherwise known as Al Ameen, earned from his height of transparency in all transactions with everyone he related with domestically and even in the commercial spheres”. The Grand Mufti then concluded that the leadership of the Oshodi Central Mosque should not only be commended for this initiative but also on the irresistible qualities of their choice for the turbanning scheduled to take place during no other month other than the ultra-precious month of Rabiul Awwal in which the best leader of all times, Prophet Muhammad, PBUH, was born in the holiest city of Makkah.

    Resplendent in his rendition, Sheikh Onikijipa recalled that when the mosque leadership reached him on this programme and ultimately got him to relate with Engineer Odebisi, he had no iota of doubt that they had made an excellent choice. “Baba accorded me a most appropriate courtesy which registered an impact I will cherish for long”

    The guest lecturer went on to add that gracing the turbanning ceremony had further enabled him  appreciate better the level of courtesy and politeness he received from Engineer Odebisi on account of the company he keeps. He sought the audience’s understanding to do a public appreciation Barrister Zikrullah Olakunle Hassan, sitting next to Engineer Odebisi for the turbanning. Sheik Onikijipa recalled, with relish, that Barrister Hassan did him a great honour with a most inspiring official congratulatory message in Hassan’s capacity as the Chairman of the National Hajj Commission, NAHCON when his appointment as the Grand Mufti of Ilorin was announced.

    As a leader with the constant consciousness to be didactic, the Grand Mufti commended Barrister Hassan for steering the leadership of NAHCON with confidence and transparency even as the resources available to him were limited. “We, members of the muslim ummah in Nigeria cannot thank you enough for doing us proud by representing us so well. What else can we say about Hassan’s successor who did only one operation and has left us to continue to wonder on his choice? Heart congratulations, once again to Barrister Hassan” Grand Mufti finally rounded off with special prayers for the honourees of the day and enjoined everyone else to emulate them to earn proper recognition within the muslim community.

    Former NAHCON Chair later commended his bossom friend and age-old associate now the Baba Adinni of Oshodi   Muslim community for dedicating his life and wealth to the course of Allah.

    He recounted that it was good enough that Alhaji Odebisi’s roots recognized his activism in Da’wah  but that his efforts have since become transcontinental. “These efforts of ibadah today cut across generations as well.  Our good friend and brother was very active and dedicated to the growth of Islam in Nigeria even before he left fort he US.  It was not for nothing that he emerged as the first Secretary of NACOMYO. When he relocated to the US, he continued to champion the course of Islam with his life and wealth,”
