Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy's Associates visit Ikeja Local Government and Lagos Radio.

(1/2) On the 25th of May, Associates of the Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy paid a learning visit to the Ikeja Corporate Local Government. 


As a part of the curriculum, Associates will get to visit various places in order to learn how things work in the system and their various contributions to the success of the State.


The Associates first visited Ikeja Corporate Local Government where they met with key personalities there including Mr Yomi Azeez, Mr Saheed Balogun, Barrister Mrs Iyabo Adewunmi, Mr Michael Ajayi and Mr Olayori Oladapo.


They learnt about the workings of the LG, roles and responsibilities, peculiarities, units/departments and processes processes making things work for their people. 


The Vice Chairman welcomed the Associates by sharing some personal stories of his encounters with the legendary Lateef Kayode Jakande in his lifetime. The Head of Administration broke down all the Associates needed to know, also answering all the questions they posed in details.


Associates left the LG with fresh perspective about the relevance of the work they do for the State and its people.


The Lateef Jakande Leadership Associates also visited Radio Lagos/EKO FM on the 25th of May after their visit to the Ikeja Local Government.


This place brought back many memories for most of the Associates as they grew up with parents or grandparents who listened to the radio actively. 


There, they met with the leadership team of the Radio including Mr Jide Lawal, Mr Kayode Adumadehin, Mr Yomi Oyemade, Mr Alhaji Lateef Balogun, Engr. Soji Adeoye, Mr Niran Adegoke, Mr Kola Oreniyi, Alhaji Garuba Ahmed and Mrs Biola Williams.


It was a thoroughly enlightening visit as they shared the history, duties, essence, evolution, achievements, diversifications, strategies and more of the Radio. They also gave the Associates a tour to some studios in the establishment where magic is made.


These learning visits were no doubt an eye-opener for the Associates. They were able to learn more about the Public Service, had some of their previously-held wrong opinions debunked and were filled with renewed hope and trust in their capability to make a change in the system.

One day, I'll write about this place

Unilag Cresol; a derivative of a congenial isomer. One day, I'll write about this place - Kunle Adegunoye. Even after leaving you , I dare not compare you to any other. From the front gate through the Senate building to the back gate, your serenity describes a genuine tranquility. I was a bit baffled when Akokites regard you as the school of first choice and nation's pride. I thought it was normal for them to bask in the ephemeral euphoria of having their education in Nigeria's first University established by the Act of Parliament. Time and again, you have made bold the claim of superiority to others. In my four years here from 2011 to 2015, you twice led the table of Nigerian universities according to NUC. Not only were you "first choice", you taught others how to be first in everything. Our first pride in you was the unilag radio, 103.1 established in 2004. When others saw and started making efforts to achieve the set feat, you moved a step ahead to havi...

ADEBOYE AND OYEDEPO: MEN OF GOD OR MEN OF GOB? by Sylvanus Omoniyi

I want to say something. It is important. But before then, I want to thank all my enemies all over the world who have been supporting me. May God support you with evil things. Also, I want to appreciate all the witches and wizards in the world who dearly love me. Thank you very much. If witches and wizards could like me, who are you not to like me? I have given up on humanity because everyone is stupid. I have decided to be true to my heart because people are not reasonable again, especially in Nigeria. I am yet to find a single reasonable being in Africa. Everyone in Africa is an asshole. We are dumb asses. See, it is not that I derive any pleasure from insulting people. Not at all. The only thing is that I get pissed off when people are being unreasonable.  I have been performing a lot of experiments. On social media. And in reality. You cannot even understand the way I think. Everyday, I strive to be less afraid and to have more freedom. I try to look at things and people and...

Taiwo Adewole, a man from the past future

Image
After returning from an invigorating dance arena at the Education love garden, a curious Kunle asked Taiwo, his ne'er calm friend why he was in the habit of liking his own Facebook posts. Taiwo laughed uproariously and the walruses in the jungle shivers with delight. He pondered the question, laughed again, snorted snuff into his three nostrils, emptied a human skull of last week palmwine and orijin into his snout and said,  "my boy, do you know why, when the lizard survives a fall, it nods its head in self-congratulation? Kunle kept quiet. SMH! Taiwo continued after downing two bowls of nkwobi, three plate of indomie and a human skull of Lager beer and quickly checking his class whatsapp  page to see if anyone wants to pay for docket or class due, "because if the lizard doesn't, no one else will". "If I don't like my post, no one else will", he concluded. Then he took a selfie with Kunle's phone(he had been told about the kamikaze effect ...
