    APC chieftain hailed for leadership qualities

    Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos State, Otunba Ladi Olo, has described Otunba Dengel Anifowoshe, the chairman of chairmen of the party in the 57 local governments and local council development areas, as a leader the party and the state should be proud of.

    He hailed Anifowoshe for the roles he had played in fostering unity, peace and love among the party leaders and members.

    Olo said Anifowoshe, who is also the chairman of the party in Bariga LCDA, coordinated the party’s activities in a manner that promoted peace and unity among members and leaders.

    He said the man should be celebrated during his birthday.

    Otunba Olo, a property consultant and chartered accountant, who addressed reporters during the activities lined up to celebrate Anifowoshe’s birthday holding in Lagos, said the decision of the APC leaders led by the National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and the state Chairman, Otunba Oladele Ajomale, to appoint Anifowoshe was a move that should be applauded, as he had not disappointed them.

    He added: “How he has been managing the party at the grassroots level is commendable. How he is grooming leaders that will take over is also worthy of emulation. Little wonder he is one of the leaders. He is an associate of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.”

  • Four qualities of a player

    Four qualities of a player

    A COUPLE of years ago, Trisha met Donald in on her way to work, and they exchanged numbers, at first Donald would call Trisha and they would chat, later on he would pick her up from her  office after work and drop her off at home. He claimed that he lived at Epe, but always dropped her at her Surulere apartment every evening, before retiring to his sister’s apartment at Ojuelegba. And never introduced Trisha to his sister. When he started asking her to loan him money, she stopped taking his calls, and asked her staff not to allow him into her office. Years later, they ran into each other, and he admitted that he had been in a relationship with the woman he was living with at the time he met her, but claimed that the relationship was over. Trisha was lucky enough to have avoided a player, and is now happily married to a wonderful husband- a real man. So how do you recognize a player? Enjoy;

    1. Lies a lot.

    A player’s stories never add up. As I have mentioned times without number, when dealing with a man, never listen to what he says, rather look at his actions, actions don’t lie. So you are dating a guy who says one thing and does something else, please watch out, he might have something under his sleeves. If he says he will call, and never does, claiming to be too busy, or says he is in one place and you discover that he is elsewhere, the list goes on.

    1. Won’t invite you to his house or office.

    The most natural thing to do when you are getting to know someone is to be invited to their homes or/and office. When a regular date becomes a serious relationship, and you astill don’t know his office or house, it might be that he has something to hide. Like Donald, who was living with a woman whom he claimed was his sister, and never introduced to Trisha, how many ladies are wise enough to smell a rat? If he won’t show you his house, friends, or relatives; there is a reason. Please investigate.

    1. Attempts to turn you to his ATM with his hard luck stories.

    I can’t count the number of times I have come across the hard luck stories of ladies who gave their love and money to guys, and the guys took off. It never seems to end well, even when the men marry them, the likelihood of them becoming the breadwinners to the women who fended for them in the past remains low. Only this week, a relative of mine was beaten black and blue by her husband; a rich man she married when he had no job. She was actually feeding and clothing the guy. Unbelievably, today, she is responsible for feeding, school fees, and welfare of their four kids, even though he is now very rich, and owns Petrol stations today, can you believe that? Oh, and he also acquired a new wife.

    1. Almost always wants to rush you to have sex with him.

    The decision to have sex with a man you are not married to is a personal decision for the female to make. The player is always in a hurry to get you in his bed, promising you the world for it. Only, afterwards you might find that he is making the same promises to any number of ladies out there. My take on the issue of pre-marital sex? Never give in just because you want to please him. If you want to become the village mattress, it is okay if that is what you want, but remember, the risk is that you might just be another one of the babes he uses and dumps. I like the way the Americans put it, “If he likes it, he should put a ring on it.” Enough said.

    Also, she must be lettered; at least a first degree will do from a university. She must be diligent, prudent and not the extravagant type.

    She must have a good sense of humor and be some one that encourages. I seriously want someone who is submissive and not someone who nags always. Must not be a liability, she must be able to contribute her quota to the family. My woman must be understanding and have great sense of fashion, I mean good looking.

    Toheeb Adebusoye, a 400 student of statistics, University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB)

    My ideal woman must have a good personality, fine dress code and the ability to cook good food.

    She must be romantic and have a good dress sense, though not too flamboyant.

    I really want to be honest with you about it. You know every Christian would say God fearing but with me, the list starts with obedience, because I don’t want quarrels and should there be any, we must be able to settle it immediately.

    Also, I expect my woman to adhere strictly to anything we agree upon. She must possess love, understanding and must be beautiful.

    I prefer a fair complexioned lady who is endowed, honest and entrepreneurial. Then God fearing can comes in. She must be friendly and must be able to spoil me with all manner of delicious dishes.

    Additionally, she must be a person of good integrity – she must be true to her words and maintain fidelity. She must be a very good cook, must be neat and ready to take care of domestic chores and children.

    She must be very supportive – she has to be a helpmate and must be someone that can make good decision in my absence. Finally, she must be hardworking and industrious.

  • Group extols Tinubu’s qualities

    Group extols Tinubu’s qualities

    Members of Akinwunmi Ambode/Bayo Oshinowo Independent Campaign Group have extolled the leadership qualities of former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which they said, contributed to the electoral victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general elections.

    The membership of the group cut across Olubori, Odun-Ifa, Idi-Araba and Mosafejo Community Development Associations (CDAs) and the Progressive Widows Association  in Oworonsoki Community, Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State.

    Chairman of the group Mr Olusegun Akinwunmi described Tinubu as a courageous, selfless and dedicated party leader, who worked tirelessly for the victory of the party during the elections.

    Akinwunmi who spoke with reporters in Lagos, expressed gratitude to God that the efforts of the party leader came to fruition. He congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, Hon Rotimi Agunsoye and Hon. Bayo Osinowo among others for emerging victorious at the polls.

    He called on Governor Ambode to site development projects in Oworonsoki, which according to him, is lacking good roads and functional drainage system, modern classrooms in   primary and secondary school, and potable water.

    Akinwunmi disclosed that there is only one primary and secondary school in Oworonsoki, which he said, was responsible for the congestion in the classrooms. According to him, there are over 100 pupils in a classroom. The solution, he said, is to establish more primary and secondary schools in the area given its population.

    The members of the group present at the coference were Mr Olusegun Bakare (General Secretary), Mrs Bola Adebisi (Public Relations Officer),  Mrs O. O. Lawal (Asst. Secretary), Mr Tunde Ajayi (Co-ordinator), Chief Tejumaiye Balogun, Mr E.A. Akinpelu (Whip) and Mr Bode Oladiye, Board of Trustees.
