NIYI AKINTOLA ( SAN)

The Notable Quote of Chief Akintola " I will rather be the head of rat than to be the tail of an Elephant" will forever leave me wondering what an epitome of integrity, some will rather prefer fame, wealth and position   for integrity but not same with chief Niyi Akintola who put and end to his political carrier for justice equity and fairness and not because he does not have the opportunity to dance to the tune being played and dictated by the piper, whoever remember how he became the Speaker of Oyo State house of Assembly, how he got kidnapped and how he decided to uphold his integrity, justice and equity for personal gain will definitely know what am talking about. 

I have been wondering how can a man become a SAN without going through a secondary school education? this has always remain a misery and thus arouse my curiosity. i then decided to go on a personal research with really motivation, heartfelt intriguing and touching story of Chief Niyi Akintola which should not be seen unpublished on this prestigious forum, what a story worth daily profiling and re profiling. All all needs to really take time to read about a man became a Senior Advocate of Nigerian when hope seems to have been lost but will never give up.

Chief Akintola SAN was born to the peasant farmers parent but grew up with his grand father who took up the responsibility as the father and Mama Adepate , the grand father wife at the age of one, with such a wonderful upbringing and availability of necessary things of life, what a such gifted child who finishes primary school meant for six years in four years because of double promotions as reward for his academic capability  but had other side of life at the demise of the old man which put an halt to his academic pursuit for lack of sponsor, young Akintola had no choice but enroll into Mechanic workshop as his father who could not afford tuition demanded but decided to run away to become a Motor Boy at Ogunpa Ibadan . 

The Legal Luminary never gave up despite being a Motor Boy after runing away from home, ofcourse we all know what a Motor Boy looks like and what they go through, they leave exactly the life a a tray dog who do not have a place of their, they are just like a nomadic who does not have a define destinations but wherever it goes. The Motor Boy Loading Job took him from Ibadan to Kaduna for an offloading job where he decided to run away to become of photographic apprentice but still never gave up. He was busy reading and preparing for exam not until he was able to pave his was in obtaining GCE result in the year 1977 and GCE A level in 1979, and wrote JMB in 1980 all in flying Colour but got frustrated to study law at first at the University of IFE. He went through thick and nail and eventually obtained a degree in Law at the University of Ibadan. haven, merry-go-round he ended up being call to Bar but could not afford the Money for Wig and Gown on his swearing in day but had to borrow from a friend. the peak of it was for a graduating student not to be able to afford to pay for a nap shot of his graduation day not to even talk of hosting friends and family. graduating Chief Adeniyi Adetola SAN as at then could not afford to pay just a snap shot in the borrowed graduating gown due to terrible hard time being experienced which prompted him to proceed for his Masters Degree with the primary aim of having graduating pictures.

And to God be the Glory Adeniyi Akitnola is happily married to Justice Boyede Adeniyi Akintola, a judge of the High Court of Oyo State.Adeniyi Akintola is also a holder of M. Sc in political science, MCArb (UK), FLCIA (UK), and FCArb.

LIBYA INTERVENTION MY GREATEST ADMINISTRATIONS REGRET... OBAMA

Barack Obama has said the biggest mistake of his presidency was the lack of planning for the aftermath of Muammar Gaddafi’s ouster in Libya that left the country spiralling into chaos and coming under threat from violent extremists.

Reflecting on his legacy in a Fox News interview aired on Sunday, Obama said his “worst mistake” was “probably failing to plan for the day after what I think was the right thing to do in intervening in Libya”. Obama concede that the intervention did not work , the White House spokes man Josh Earnest claim that the President regret extended to what  members of our coalition didn’t do”.

“The president has tried to apply this lesson in considering the use of military and other circumstances,” Earnest said.

“That asking the question about what situation will prevail and what sort of commitments from the international community will be required after that military intervention has been ordered by the commander in chief.”

In March, Obama made a searing critique of the British prime minister, David Cameron, and the former French leader, Nicolas Sarkozy, for their roles in the bombing campaign they led in Libya.

Cameron had become “distracted” and Sarkozy wanted to promote his country during the 2011 Nato-led military intervention, Obama said in an interview with The Atlantic magazine.

PROFILING A NOLLYWOOD PIONEER LIVING LEGEND, MUMMY AJAYI ZAINAB BUKKY

Mummy Bukkay Ajayi  was born a christian but converted to Islam in the early eighties and chose the name Zainab. Her love for the theatre started as a young girl when her father used to take her to the cinemas.She used to tell her dad that one day she’s going to be like one of those actresses, but unfortunately he never lived to see her become an actress.When she was a very young girl, her interest for acting was so much that she used to do a cardboard sort of cinema for children, and used to charge them half a penny to come and watch.Later, the opportunity came for her to study in England. She was abroad for six years, as a Federal government scholar.


She left England and came back to Nigeria after her education in 1965 and started out working in Nigeria Television Authority(NTA) as a presentation assistant in 1966. Afterwards, she became a presenter and then a news reader. She presented a couple of children’s programmes and ‘Nigerian’s Sketches,’ a programme which was all about Nigerian culture, and Diran Ajijedidun of blessed memory was her producer.She was later transferred to Port Harcourt and later back to Lagos, and it was at that time she started her acting career.She started with the ‘Village Headmaster’ in the 70s, and she later got a role in Amaka Igwe’s ‘Checkmate.’

This living Nollywood legend  has featured in so many home videos that she has lost count.Shooting of international film ‘Critical Assignment’ in South Africa, is one of the events of her life that she will never forget. It gave her an opportunity to see how it is done elsewhere, other than Nigeria, where a movie is shot in five days. One of her sons is Abounce (Olakunle Fawole), a veteran rapper. Abounce is one the founding fathers of the Nigerian Hip Hop culture. He is also a music producer and actor (a trait he got from his legendary mother, the sensational screen goddess Bukky Ajayi).

PRESIDENT BARRACKS OBAMA TO VISIT NIGERIA BEFORE NOVEMBER 2016 : OUR DREAM, OUR MISSION,- JOHN FRANCIS

Nigeria is the 8th country President Obama will be visiting in the continent, the 4th US President's visit. Everyone is thinking of the visit gains, is it to showcase Nigeria as the newest democratic nation or performing good governance practices in the continent, perhaps, some of the qualities attracting the United States to engage in trade with its less developed counterparts.

This could be the longest awaited follow up, President Barack Obama Plans to visit Nigeria is being concocted. The sheer popularity of US President Obama will, no doubt, mean that all eyes will be on Nigeria. Thoughtfully, if the leadership is able to exploit to the maximum the mission of the trip, notwithstanding, how brief his visit to Nigeria will be.

Statistically reviewing the state of Nigeria today and the trip, unavoidably important to review predecessors' perception:  Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George Bush, reason why the country was chosen. Yes, may be because of Nigeria's strong democratic credentials, maintaining lead in African and becoming Africa Economic Power. Regardless of either, there is the need to exhaust the benefits of Obama's trips to the region, compare it with others, take advantage of other's  lapses or weaknesses, while smartly working with stakeholders to pull the best deal ever in the history in Nigeria.  

His trips to the following countries were wholly or partial: Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia. Meanwhile, as a nation of experts and technocrats what are we able to deduce from all; a serious business or passing out handouts. Nigeria cannot afford to make mistakes, too many mistakes made in the past, no excuse for any mistake. Nigeria is in the forefront of resolving issues, at the verge of a reckoned allied. Hence, the populace will not forego or forgive negligible mistakes. Meanwhile, the supposedly giant of Africa has been waiting aimlessly.

Again, President Barrack Obama's visit to Nigeria is very important, very much welcoming, being the 1st Black American President in 200 years of its democracy, many lessons must be learned. Nevertheless, pick their democracy.

Categorically thinking, today President Muhammadu Buhari's trips are living testimonies, accruing assurances, seemingly exhibiting credibility, exploring all avenues to bring the heavily embattled nation to the fore. A price heavily paid from various his trips beyond United States. Aristocrats characterized trips as  waste of time, meanwhile, it is beginning to pay for itself, at the instance of various world leaders pouring into Nigeria and the unknown President Obama's visit.

For now, it's not clear whether President Obama may present another package like the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) to the country, but there is certainly heightened anticipation about it. Nevertheless, Nigeria must look beyond this and not settle for handouts as always the case 

It is believed that Nigeria has not positioned itself well under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, fully taking advantage of opportunities accruing from international diplomacy, time shall tell.

HE WHO PELT ONE WITH STONE MUST BE READY FOR ROCK IN RETURN.TALE OF BUKOLA SARAKI

Its axiomatic that no evil done against fellow human being, will go unrevenged, if not by man then by God, if not now, then in the future- Dele Giwa. This is an apt description of what is playing out now in my dear Country Nigeria. Some times ago, I read an interview where former President Olusegun Obasanjo ascertained the role played by yet to vacate Sen. president,in blowing the stealing saga of Iyabo Obasanjo and PS Mrs. Longe in the ministry of health! Not only that, Sen. Saraki, was the after dinner chairman in the removal of Erastus Akingbola from Intercontinental Bank while his stooge was imposed by Lamido Sanusi in the Bank! Mrs Ibru was jailed and other defaulters were penalised by CBN Gov,because Lamidos mother came from Ilorin and Dr Olusola Saraki nominated him for CBN Governorship appointment! This gentleman sold dommy to APC & PDP,became the Senate President! He single handedly uptured the songs of hard earned victory over PDP! It been said that anybody that pelt one with stone must be ready for rock in return. I submit.
