Fayemi lifts three technical schools with over N300 million in World Bank –assisted IDEAS project.

...the Governor assured the people that his administration is more committed to providing enabling environment for developmental projects in the State.

Three Technical Colleges in Ekiti State have benefitted from the World Bank assisted IDEAS project to the tune of over $250,000 (over 105 million naira) each to enhance the capacity of the Nigerian skills development system to produce relevant skills for the formal and informal sectors.

Presenting the cheques to the benefitting colleges at an elaborate ceremony in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday, Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who, noted that the success of the project depends largely on the perception of all Ekiti people, especially the three host communities, implored everyone to embrace it and partake in the activities so that many people can benefit from the intervention. 

The benefitting colleges were Government Technical Colleges, Otun, Government Technical College, Ijero and Government technical College, Igbara Odo, They got $250,000 each. 

The Governor who made the presentation further assured the people that his administration is more committed to providing enabling environment for developmental projects in the State hence charged all partakers to adhere strictly to all the Bank’s guidelines in the course of project implementation.  

Dr Fayemi who was elated at the World Bank IDEAS project which he said would assist his government to accelerate programmes targeted at youth empowerment, said the project would focus on collaborating with the state in the training of teachers to impact technical education knowledge which he said could not be driven by government alone but through collaboration with the private sector.

While reassuring the people of the state that he would live the state better than he met it in 2018, Dr Fayemi said he was glad that enrolment in all the six Technical Colleges in the state, which was barely 700 in 2018 is currently put at about 2,500, adding that this was achieved through constant sensitization and all round improvement in the colleges.

He also noted that the state would continue to promote sustainable development through the use of “our brilliant hands to keep pace with the dynamic technological trend in the world by helping to reduce the saturated labour market and escalated poverty rate of citizens.”

The Governor expressed his appreciation to the officials of the World Bank and the Federal Government of Nigeria for much of their developmental projects from which Ekiti State is a prime beneficiary.

Ekiti was one of the six states in Nigeria and the only state in the Southwest that is participating in the project.

“IDEAS is a World Bank assisted project that is designed to fill skill gaps at both the public and private sectors. Ekiti State is one of the six benefitting states. The facilities at the Government Technical Colleges at Igbara Odo, Ijero and Otun will be upgraded and modernised. In addition, all the teachers and instructors will be adequately trained, so also in the private sector, skills of Master Craft Persons and their apprentices will be enhanced. 

“Many will recall that we launched the concept of Life Academics during my first term in office. We started the revamping of the Technical Colleges with the total reconstruction and equipping of the Government Technical College, Ado-Ekiti. 

“In a bid to improve the state technical colleges, Ekiti State Government recruited seventy (70) teaching staff and fifty-five (55) non-teaching staff to improve productivity. Perimeter fencing of the colleges is ongoing. Attention must be drawn to the fact that the state has experienced over 300% increase in students’ enrolment into our technical colleges; from 700 in 2018 to 2505 in 2022. This was made possible through constant sensitization and motivational programmes of the government. 

“In fulfilment of the promise I made to Ekiti-kete at the beginning of this year, precisely on January 1, that I will work for you till the last day of this administration. I am keeping faith with that sacred pact, even with renewed vigour.  From now till October 16, when I gracefully hand over the baton  to our Governor-elect, events like this will be commonplace as we continue in our quest to make life better for the generality of our people, and bequeath a formidable foundation for our growth and economic stability.” The Governor said.

The Commissioner for Education Science and Technology, Dr Bimpe Aderiye commended the Governor for his tireless efforts at developing the state especially, the education sector.

Dr Aderiye congratulated the benefitting institutions and urged them to make proper use of the fund.

Chairman, Board for Technical and Vocational Education, Hon. Kayode Babade commended Governor Fayemi for the remarkable improvement his administration brought to the Technical education sub- sector through prompt release of funds for the avalanche of ideas that has brought landmark achievements to the sector.

Babade also disclosed that it was during Governor Fayemi administration that payment of school fees was abolished, payment of about #540 million debt owed by the Technical College, Ado Ekiti as well as facilitating training and empowerment of 200 Ekiti youths in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with equipment relevant to their trades.

HISTORY OF NIGERIA CURRENCY

HISTORY OF NIGERIA CURRENCY 

...How Nigeria started using cowries/manilas to pounds, kobo and presently Naira.

Before the west African currency board was found, Nigeria already had its own currency in the form of cowries and manilas. The board was charged of issuing currency notes in the country. This was during the time of colonial masters 1912 to 1959.

Nigerian currency notes issued on 1st of july, 1959:

The central bank of Nigeria withdraw the west African currency notes and coins, and issued the Nigerian currency notes and coins on 1st of July, 1959.

Legal tender status 1962-1968:

By 1st july,1962, the legal tender status of the naira was changed to showcase Nigeria's new independent status. The currency notes were changed in 1968 during the civil war.

On April 1971 the Government announced chat to decimal currency system as from 1st January, 1973. On the same date the CBN introduced 50 kobo, 1,5,10 and 20 naira respectively.

In the year 1991, 50 naira notes were issued and Al's followed by 100 naira in the year 1999, 200 naira notes in the year 2000.

In the year 2001 the 500 naira note was introduced and 1000 naira note was announced in the year 2005 which is currently the highest denomination of the naira.

As at February 28, 2007 polymer notes were introduced.

The idea of the CBN was to make the notes smaller and durable. The notes affected by the CBN polymer policy were 5, 10, 20, and 50 naira notes by the then CBN governor Prof. Charles Soludo in 2008.

It was Soludo Successor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who eventually in 2009, released the remaining 5, 10 and 50 versions of the polymer currency. 

AWORI PEOPLE: A BRIEF HISTORY AND BELIEF OF THE ORIGINAL INDIGENES OF LAGOS.

AWORI PEOPLE: A BRIEF HISTORY AND BELIEF OF THE ORIGINAL INDIGENES OF LAGOS.
....The name AWORI, which translates as "The plate sank", became the name by which the clan is known till today.

When Oduduwa was old and blind, his children were called together and ordered to go and found their own kingdoms and each was given a royal symbol. During this period, Ile-Ife was hit by a prolonged drought which lasted for many years, causing faming and diseases. Finally Agirilogbon, a babalawo of Oke-Itase in Ile-Ife, counseled emigration.

According to tradition, the children went northwards and southwards. Those who went south eastwards finally settled at Ado, Owo and Benin. In addition, some of the migrants had a change of rulers in their new homes. The date of this emigration is still a subject of academic controversy. However, it is clear that it was not later than 11th century A.D. It is also difficult to know how many kingdoms resulted from this exercise. As new kingdoms grew out of the old ones, descent from Oduduwa became the test of legitimacy among the old new kingdoms.

From this period of Oduduwa, migrations out of Ile-Ife became a permanent feature of the kingdom, Migrations also took place during the reign of Ooni Luwo who was a female ruler. Luwo was considered a disciplinarian and her rulership did not go down well with the people which led to migration. Also, the success of Lajamisan, a rich Ife bead trader to the Ooniship created political crisis which was some migrations. In addition, the deposition of Ogboru, a descendant of Lajamisan, who was barnish to Ife Odan for reigning too long but more probably for cruelty, led to emigration. Migrations southwards continued till the end of 19th century. These early southward migrant were the founders of Ife-Awori settlements in Lagos state.

Early migrations to the region of Lagos were political and economic in nature. For instance, Ogunfunminire the founder of Isheri and most other migrants from Ile-Ife were farmers. It was in the course of hunting expedition that some of them finally journeyed to Lagos. But the fact that some of the migrants were not alone but in groups, suggests political organizations which could be explained in terms of inland internal political crisis and population pressure. Before migrating to Isheri, Ogunfunminire consulted Ifa oracle which counseled migration.

One of the traditions suggests that Ogunfunminir and his friend Adeyemi Onikoyi left their homes on a hunting expedition and overstayed, thereby absenting themselves from the funeral of their father. Their relation thinking them dead, put their junior brother on the throne and this annoyed the two powerful princes, when they arrived. However, they were afraid of the great damage they might cause if they decided to fight, hence Olofin took the calabash which was willed to him by his late father. The tradition continued that he followed the movement of the ritual pot placed on water until it sank and they settled in the region

The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language. Olofin and his followers left the palace of King Oduduwa in Ile-Ife and migrated southward along a river. Oduduwa had given Olofin a mud plate and instructed him to place it on the water and follow it until it sank into the river. The plate is said to have stopped at various locations and finally sank at Idumota in the present day Lagos State in Nigeria. As they were to settle wherever it sank, the people were filled with joy when this finally happened. The name AWORI, which translates as "The plate sank", became the name by which the clan is known till today.

Several days after leaving Ile-Ife, the plate suddenly stopped near Olokemeji near present day Abeokuta. After seventeen days, it began moving again, only to stop at Oke-Ata for another seventeen days. At the end of seventeen days, the plate began moving again, only to stop again on the southern outskirts of present day Abeokuta, where it stayed for another seventeen days. At this location, some of Olofin's followers decided to remain, led by a man named Osho Aro-bi-ologbo-egan.

The plate continued downriver, stopping again at Isheri, where it remained for a much longer period of time. Olofin began instructing his followers to begin setting up a permanent settlement, but after 289 days (17 x 17) the plate began moving again. Olofin and a few followers followed the plate, while the rest of the group stayed behind. After two days the plate stopped briefly at Iddo in Lagos. At Idumota in central Lagos, it whirled around in the water and sank to the bottom. When Olofin returned to his group at Iddo, they are said to have asked him where the plate was. He answered "Awo Ti Ri" meaning "The plate has sunk". This is how the name Awori is said to have come into being.

Sex scandal allegations rock Islamic College in Kwara, as Principal molests Female Students in office, abandoned classrooms.

....as Punch Reporter tries to sabotage truth.

By: Idowu Adebomi 

The Principal and Vice Principal of the School, Mr. Samuel Aremu and Mr. Muyiwa

Mr. Samuel Aremu Prosper, (a.k.a. Mr Owonikoko) on his social media handles, has

absconded from his duty post as the Principal of Hassanat Islamic college, Tanke in Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara state. 

He is currently engulfed in a sex scandal with several female students of the school, who he had sexually molested and defiled. 

Sunrise News in April 2022 received an urgent Save Our Soul call in April from a concerned person (name withheld) on the sexual molestation on female students of the college.

Acting on the tip off, a team of investigators were dispatched to the school and weeks after, the needed evidences were revealed by one of the female victims. 

Mr. Aremu Prosper (Owonikoko) the Randy Principal of Hassanat Islamic College, Ilorin was revealed as a notorious sex machine following the sexual romp he had with female students. 

The Principal of the School, Mr. Aremu Owonikoko 

"With several WhatsApp chats, recorded confessional statements during conversations between him and his victims, those he is  supposed to teach morals, education and mentored, suddenly turned out to be his sex pacifiers, exploiting them sexually."

Investigations further revealed that immediately the female students gets to the Senior classes, he started to devour them in the name of treating them as junior sisters and families.

The Randy principal after gaining the trust of the innocent girls aged between 15 and 17 years lured them into his office during school hours where he sucks and finger their private parts, before finally had carnal knowledge of them without their consent.

'In a WhatsApp chat with one of the victims, simply known as Raheema (surname withheld) and made available to Sunrise News, Mr. Aremu is always in the habit of fingering and sucking Raheema private part in his office, and continue with the act mostly after school hours outside the school premises. 

The Randy principal went as far as inviting  Raheema to his house and at times visit her at home under the pretence of checking on their well-being where he takes advantage of the innocent student whenever the parents are not at home.

The revealed WhatsApp chats also exposed the many sexual escapades of Mr. Aremu Prosper where he was professing love to her repeatedly and encouraged her to share nudes with him.

The chats from April to July, 2022, revealed how the Randy principal had invited Raheema to his office on numerous occasions while he kissed, romanced and sucks her private and thereafter letting her know how professional she has been. 

According to one of the chats, the Principal will keep the girl in his office even when others are on the assembly ground taking advantage of her body.

When confronted with the sex escapade with his students, the Principal initially denied the allegations and even went to threaten the students involved to stop talking to the investigators. 

This did not however deter our reporter from getting evidence of the WhatsApp chats with dates, time and meeting places which included parks, NYSC secretariat and deserted buildings.

When confronted with facts, Mr. Aremu Prosper admitted to the allegations in a telephone conversation where he confessed that Raheema was not his only victim, but mentioned and apologised to others like: Titilayo, Fasilat, and Robiat, particularly Raheema, the victim that finally exposed all his sexual harassment and assault on the innocent students of the school. 

Raheema who confirmed their relationship begged to be protected since her parents must not know of the illicit affairs.

An insider, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, confirmed to Sunrise News that it has been a long time practice of the Principal to always sexually molest not only the female students, but Corps members posted to the school. 

The Randy principal, aged 32 years pleaded for pardon not to be exposed and on instruction apologized on a WhatsApp group where he added all his victims numbering about 8.

The voice note on the group platform that was transcribed reads : "I am sorry for the unimaginable things I did to you girls, I know I should be a role model, but I am a stain and I want you all to forgive me."

After the voice note, it was expected that Mr Randy principal would change for the better and does what are expected of him as a role model, motivation and a brother to the students, but as a leopard that refuses to change its skin continued in his randy acts not knowing he was being monitored as more girls afterwards fell his prey, until Haleema finally blew open his shameful acts. 

According to one of  the chats, the Principal will keep the girls in his office even when others are on the assembly ground taking advantage of their body. 

One of the girls named Naimah whose chats also got to this reporter expressed shock when she learnt Mr. Aremu was also having carnal knowledge of  her friends especially Rahnat and Raheema. 

During the exchange of words in chat Naimah exclaimed: " uncle, so all what people have been saying about you and Rahanat is true and I trusted you oo" the chat read.

Further investigations however revealed that the school Vice Principal,  called Mr. Victor Muyiwa started pleading on behalf of his boss and Principal with every possible means to cover up the exposure of the immoral acts of the principal. 

The Vice Principal of the School, Mr. Muyiwa Victor 

Management of the school, headed by a relative of the late founder of the school and also acting as the proprietor, Mr Ali sent a message to Sunrise News reporter pleading that the matter be treated internally because of the reputation of the school hanging in the balance.

When asked why the Randy principal has not been sacked and handed over to the authorities despite the atrocities leveled against him, the acting proprietor said, "they were waiting for Mr. Aremu to hand over his resignation letter."

Mr. Ali maintained that  the duo of Mr. Aremu Prosper Owonikoko and Mr. Muyiwa Victor of perpetrated the acts and have not been found in the premises of the school since yesterday even for the Management meeting.

He expressed shock since both are Christians and one would expect them to be role models to the students.

" This is coming as a shock and I promise we won't allow them come near the children again, though as I  am speaking to you they are no where to be found even for the management meeting scheduled for today. We are rounding off the lessons and they are supposed to be in school but I assure you they will be sacked and no male teachers will be accepted henceforth " he concluded.

This report would have come earlier than this, but for the negative efforts of the Punch correspondent in Ilorin Mr. Tunde Oyekola  who tried everything in his capacity to sabotage the efforts of Sunrise News by trying to cover up the atrocities of the  Principal and also pleading on his behalf.

As at the time of filling this report, Mr. Aremu Prosper and the Vice principal, Mr. Victor have both absconded and abandoned their duty posts at the Islamic missionary school.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE OWU KINGDOM

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE OWU KINGDOM
...The word “Owu” is derived from a cotton plant of the genus Gossypium, whereas “Orile” refers to an ancestral residence or hamlet.

Owu, formerly known as Orile-Owu, an old forest kingdom, is thought to have been the earliest town outside of Ile-Ife, the Yoruba people’s traditional homeland. The idea that this ancient kingdom served as the foundation for all other Owu communities has given rise to many controversies.

The Owu people are particularly well known among the many Yoruba sub-ethnic groups, especially when one considers the years of war that involved the larger Oyo Kingdom. Thus, other Yoruba sub-ethnic groups, such as Oyo, Egba, Ife, Ijebu, Ijesha, Awori, Remo, Igbomina, Ondo, and Ekiti, are inferior to the Owu kingdom. Owu was popular as a prominent ancestral domain of the Yoruba people. It also ruled the waves in the aforementioned area of old Oyo.

The Owus are mainly concentrated at Ago-Owu in Abeokuta, but a larger number of Owu towns may be found elsewhere across the Yoruba empire. The Yoruba kingdom stretches into the Republic of Benin from Nigeria’s borders.

🏐 HISTORY
Following their initial settlement in Ago-Owu in 1820, where the history of the Owus was first written down. According to oral history traditions, the Owus lived in the present-day nation of Nigeria in a region that was directly along and below the Niger River. Tribal and ethnic disputes directly contributed to the Owus’ southerly migration.

According to history, the rulers of Ibadan dispatched diplomatic emissaries to the Owus after receiving information about the Owus’ allegedly impending attack on their town. So, unlike earlier settlements, the Owus did not attempt to fight against the army of Ibadan but instead moved in peacefully. From Ita Lisa to Owu Ipole near Ikire, the monarchs of Ibadan provided the Owus territory to settle there.

Up until the reign of Sango, Owu had been the ruler of old Oyo, collecting tribute from the Bariba and the Borgu. All of this occurred because the Owu also made their home in that area. History has it that they undoubtedly had a strong presence in the area. In the Makun and other conflicts against Ado Odo and Dahomey in 1842–1845, Owu fought alongside Egba. At Itori, Yobo, Ifo, Atan, and Ota, Owu contingents engaged in battle, routed the Awori, and are still occupying those locations.

However, their mainstream had settled among the Egbas in Abeokuta. The Owu people had waged wars, won battles, and settled in several locations between the Niger River and the sea; that is, there are Owus in Lagos State; Epe, etc. Nevertheless, they are not Ijebus or Egbas. But their relationship was because the Owu colonies in Ijebu and Abeokuta usually developed on friendly terms rather than as a consequence of direct combat or victories over them.

As a result of their liberty to spread across all regions within the Yoruba kingdom, Orile-Owu was formulated. The word “Owu” is derived from a cotton plant of the genus Gossypium, whereas “Orile” refers to an ancestral residence or hamlet. The Yoruba people call this plant owu. “Orile-Owu” denotes the Owu people’s first home or hamlet. Early inhabitants of this kingdom grew cotton and traded in it. As a result, it was given the name “Igbo Owu,” or Cotton Forest.

🏐 OWU WARS

The forces of Ijebu and the Ife assaulted and destroyed Owu Ipole between 1821 and 1826. Around 1826, the Owus fled their heavily guarded city and headed in small groups southwestward toward Ibadan. From these peripheries, they marched on and over the Ogun River until they reached Oke Ata, which is close to Abeokuta, when Sodeke, the Egba supreme leader, convinced the valiant Owus to dwell there in approximately 1834.

It is important to note that the current Orile Owu is the same location as Owu Ipole, where Owus from Iwo and other areas relocated in the early 20th century. Also, the residents of Erunmu, which was established by a previous Olowu from the Amororo Ruling House, were consistently devoted to the cause of the Owu Kingdom. However, the Olowu was transported from Orile Owu, that is, Owu Ipole to Orile Erunmu during the Owu War on his back, which, according to history, was to conceal his escape, protected by a united squad of his royal guards and Oba Erunmu’s royal guards.

Thus, the remnant Owu army withdrew after Orile Owu was completely destroyed in order to defend Orile Erunmu from the united armies of Ijebu and Ife.

🏐 Owu Festival

Giving thanks to Olodumare, that is, the Almighty God for providing for all needs is the original intent of the Omo Olowu holiday. Since its inception in 1999, the annual Owu Day festival has drawn both Owu natives and visitors from around the globe. The second weekend in October will be Owu’s public celebration of the benevolence of the Almighty God, according to a declaration made public by the Olowu of Owu Abeokuta, Oba Dosunmu, on October 9, 2010.

This announcement was made to officially launch the new Omo Olowu festival, which will take the place of the previous Owu Day Festival going forward. Ironically, the Owu Day Festival held its tenth and final performance in 2009 on the tenth day of the tenth month.
