So, there was a time when I saw my friend's younger brother come down from a Bláck Márîá (a prisoner's van) along Lugbe Road Abuja.

I was surprised and also thought he committed a crîmé.

I rushed to him and asked him what he had done and why the prîsón van dropped him.

He laughed and told me he didn't do anything, and the van was a public transport.

He said where other vehicles collect #500 to go, the prîsón van collects #150.

I told him not to enter it again before they would carry them and land in prîsón one day.

He laughed again and said such couldn't happen that he had been entering it for a long time now.

He told me where and the time I could easily find the van to enter.

I rejected it in God's name and told him that nothing would ever make me enter such a van.

I kept warning him to stay far away from the van.

Yesterday evening, I finished what I was doing and wanted to take a vehicle home. I got to the junction, the conductor said it was #800.

I shouted and asked why #800! This was something we used to pay #300.

The conductor asked me If I didn't know fuel added more money.

I remembered what my friend's brother told me about a prîsón van that carries passengers, how cheap they collect, and the location where I would meet them.

I ran to where I would see them, and luckily for me, they were not there yet to carry passengers.

I joined the hundreds of Nigerians waiting for the Prîsón van to come around.

Immediately they arrived, the strong Nigerians who were strong enough to fîght for what belonged to them fóûght and got space for themselves while the wéáker ones missed the van, and I was among the strong people who fóûght like a wóûndéd lîón and found sit.

The van driver was collecting #200 instead of #800 others were collecting.

I never knew my friend's brother was also in the van and he saw how I pûshéd many dówn when I was struggling to get a sit.

The next thing I heard was someone called Sis, Sis.

I recognized the voice and turned, it was my friend's brother.

We laughed ééh!

He would want to tell me something, but he would burst into laughter, and I, too, would laugh.

We kept laughing, and people were looking at both of us, trying to figure out what was making us laugh, not knowing we were laughing because of the conversation we had concerning the van and how I condémnéd and réjécted the van.

We got to our junction we came down.

He wanted to remind me of my words and how I used to advise him to stay away from the same van I conquered people to enter.

I scolded him and told him to start going home.

He laughed for the last time and said Sis, but you sat like an ex-cónvîct with the color of your clothes that looks like prîsóner's wear.

We both laughed again.

Inside me, I had already made the van my best vehicle.

Even if they carry me one day and land in prisón, I don't mind; hence, they will keep charging less.

Nigérîá has lost its charm as a desirable place to live.

It's héártbréáking to see a cóûntry forcing its cîtîzens into situations they never wanted.

People are being drîvén back to the very things they once cóndémnéd.

The cost of living is crîpplîng, with a liter of fuel costing #1,700!

Farmers can't even afford to eat the food they work so hard to produce.

What a country called Nîgérîan!!

Góvérnmént, péôplé are tîred already!!

My name is Amaka .

On behalf of people living with disabilities (PWDS) in Oyo State, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to *Chief Engineer Jubril Dotun Sanusi (JDS)* for this privilege. For years, transportation has been a persistent challenge for us, a source of constant frustration and sadness. We have long struggled to access safe and reliable transportation, making it difficult for us to participate fully in opportunities and activities.

But today, thanks to *JDS* , we experienced a transformation. _He saw where the "shoe pinched" and took action, providing us with a comfortable and stress-free journey to and from different zones across Oyo State_ . This has made a huge difference in our lives, allowing us to approach our interviews with calm minds and confidence.

We are deeply thankful for your commitment to our success and well-being. Your kindness and dedication have brought joy and relief to our community, and we will never forget it. Words cannot adequately express our appreciation for your selfless acts.

Thank you again, sir. We love and appreciate you.

**PWDS for JDS,
JDS for Oyo*

THE UNTOLD STORY OF ENGINEER JUBREEL DOTUN SANUSI AND ILAJI RESORTS*

My humble self and another mutual friend of ours, Kazeem Adekambi, brought Dotun to Ibadan to make some investments in Ibadan and perhaps in Oyo State.
Both Dotun and Kazeem were my juniors at the Wesley College Practising, Elekuro, Ibadan. I was a year ahead of both of them and we also later met at the University of Ibadan.
Dotun studied Petroleum Engineering while Kazeem read Chemistry, but ended up being a banker until he retired in 2017. He has now relocated to the USA.

Sir, NBA held a conference in Port- Harcourt in 2012 when I was the Attorney-General of Oyo State. Dotun was then based in PH and decided to host me. He lodged me at NICON hotel in PH and also invited me to visit his palatial house, big educational institutions, estates, and companies in PH and Akwa Ibom.

At his Oil servicing company, I saw several expatriates working for him, who were then over 80, foreigners of various nationalities.

When we went out later at night to unwind, I took him up on why he had not given it a thought to replicate some of those huge companies in Ibadan, too. I told him that he should have at the back of his mind that Nigeria may likely break up in the future. He told me that Kazeem expressed similar concerns when he visited him during his vacation earlier in 2012.

There and then, Dotun agreed with me and gave me and Kazeem a blank directive to look for large expanse of land which could be used for farming and also serve as a training farm for our teeming Ibadan unemployed graduates and school leavers.

We hit the ground running, and a vast parcel of land was procurred at Akanran, the headquarters of Ona-Ara Local Government, which is a common local government. Dotun promptly paid for the land and also settled our law firm - Adebayo & Gbadamosi, Legal Practitioners' professional fees, as well as the commission of the land agents who sourced the land.

Dotun is a different species of Nigerian businessmen. He will never cheat any person in any business dealing and will always ensure that everyone gets what they are entitled to, fully. It is heartbreaking when he was hijacked later by some unscrupulous professionals who were extorting him in some real estate deals by padding prices of land transactions they did for him. Dotun was aware that he later had trust issues with them.

After we purchased the vast expanse of land at Akanran, Dotun hit the ground running, and a large-scale poultry farming took off at Akanran. Dotun named it "Ilaji Farm," which is the name of his maternal ancestral home in Ibadan.

He insisted that local content must be applied by giving priorities to indigenes of Ona-Ara Local Government in terms of employment on the farm as well as the trainees to be recruited on same. His directive on local content was strictly adhered to.

The poultry business, though not a profit-oriented one, didn't succeed as Nigeria happened to it. Massive stealing and theft became the order of the day on the farm by not only the workers and the trainees but also by very close relations of Dotun's.

Dotun abandoned the poultry farm for them and ventured into the resorts and hospitality business, which he named Ilaji Hotels and Resorts. More and more lands were acquired by our law firm - Adebayo & Gbadamosi, (A&G) while Kazeem Adekambi became the unofficial supervisor of the massive construction works going on at Ilaji. The resort has become another town within Akanran and also a new town within the city of Ibadan.

Ilaji Resorts is a complete and total resorts - home away from home sort of and which is located in a completely serene part of Ibadan city and far away totally from the hustle and bustles of the city of Ibadan. It was fashioned after those great resorts of Kenya and other great resorts of East Africa.

The initial setback for Ilaji Resort was non- availability of electricity supply because prior to the birth of Ilaji Resorts, the entire area from Omowumi to Olorunsogo, Ogbeere, Asolo, Amuloko, Odeyale, up to Akanran, including the headquarters of the Ona-Ara Local Government, had been off the National Grid for over 10years because the electric cables transmitting powers to all the areas had been carted away and NEPA and its successors - PHCN and IBEDC had both abandoned and neglected the people of the area (very densely populated) to their fates. Similarly, successive governments in Oyo State also chose to ignore the inhabitants of the local government whose population is close to 1 (one) million.

But Dotun, being a man with genuine milk of human kindness and being God-sent to his people, engaged the authority of IBEDC and provided the requested humongous fund by the IBEDC and electric supply was restored to Ona-Ara Local Government. On that project, too, Dotun was exploited and extorted by some dishonest staff of IBEDC, but he was not deterred. He kept his eyes on the ball and till today, remains focussed. Due to the singular efforts of Dotun, the entire Ona-Ara Local Government is back on the national grid after over 10 years of sabbatical and consignment to total darkness.

Another challenge that Ilaji faced was a very unmotorable road from Olorunsogo to Akanran, which is a distance of over 10km. Dotun took it upon himself and rehabilitated the road for the benefit of the visitors to the resort and also for the use of the inhabitants of the area. Smiles, laughter, and real hope were brought back to the faces of all persons that use the road - commutters and pedestrians alike as the road has now become motorable.

Lest I forget, Dotun also established multi-purpose primary and secondary schools in Elebu area of Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State. The Schools are named ICAST Group of Schools and also at present has an HSC or Advanced Level Section. ICAST is a top grade school set up primarily as a non-profit oriented entity.
Dotun reconstructed the entire roads in the area with paving interlocking stones. The hitherto waterlogged area of about 5km was constructed singlehandedly by Dotun.

Both Ilaji and ICAST have become household names in Ibadan in particular and Oyo State in general.

I make bold to say that there is no politician of note in Oyo State who has not been to Ilaji, either for relaxation and or to solicit for Dotun's support for their political careers. None of them was ever turned down by Dotun. He assisted all and sundry both morally and financially.

Dotun's acts of philanthropy are second to none. Ilaji has become Mecca and Jerusalem to all and sundry and people from all walks of life continue to troop to Ilaji for all sorts of assistances, succour and support. Ilaji is always a beehive of activities all year round.

Without being immodest, no indigene of Ibadan and perhaps Oyo State (except and of course, Alhaji Ahmed Adeniyi Raji, SAN) has made landmark and significant contributions and developments to our communities, societies towns and her citizens like Engineer (Oloye) Jubreel Dotun Sanusi since the advent of this nascent democracy in 1999.

Dotun does his bits for humanity and mankind without expecting anything in return. My Leader, Hero, Benefactor and Role Model, Senator Abiola Ajimobi asked Dotun in 2012 to tell him what he actually wanted him to do for him after Dotun's massive support for our government, but Dotun told my Boss that he was merely contributing his own token for the growth and development of Oyo State

Dotun supported massively the dream and ambition of Aketi to become the Governor of Ondo State at my insistence and deliberately chose not to visit Aketi and or Ondo State to secure anything in return. I stand to be contradicted by anybody.

Governor Seyi Makinde and Dotun are bosom friends, but the support of Dotun to the election of GSM in 2019 and his re-election in 2023 were massive to the extent that the history of GSM 's successes at polls would be incomplete without according Dotun his right of place.

Similarly, Dotun unreservedly placed and deployed his resources to support the ambition of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu to become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023. I do not know any other individual who is not a politician who expended as much as the resources deployed by Dotun for PBAT in that election in Oyo State.

Dotun is an all-rounder, very compassionate, humane, sincere, honest. He genuinely loves our town, our state and our people.

The most trusted person by Dotun is our mutual friend and brother, Dr. Kunle Bamidele, a Psychiatrist Consultant based in the United Kingdom and I have enlisted Kunle's support to call on Dotun to accept the call to run for Oyo gubernatorial election in 2027.

May the good Lord allow and permit Jubreel Dotun Sanusi to heed and accept the requests of those calling on Dotun to throw his hat into the ring and run for the governorship of Oyo State in 2027 so that he can take our State to the next level. Nobody is as qualified as Engineer Jubreel Dotun Sanusi (JDS) , the Apesin of the Source, the Otun Apesin of Ibadanland and the Jagun of Ibadanland to lead Oyo State in 2027.

Apesin, kindly accept the offer and bring good governance to berth in Oyo State in 2027

PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU - HEAR AND LISTEN TO THE TRUE, REAL AND GENUINE CRIES, WAILINGS AND SUFFERINGS OF THE NIGERIAN MASSES AND NOT THE CHEAP BLACKMAIL , LANDMINES AND AMBUSH OF THE NIGERIA JEJUNE AND WHEELER-DEALER BARONIC PSEUDO HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS

@⁨Ola Adeosun Esq⁩ I was the Oyo State Secretary under Mrs. Ayo Obe while Buoda Asa was the State Chairman.
CLO never had Students wing or arm. Mrs. Ayo Obe succeeded Mr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, Abdul Oroh from Edo State who later went to the was the Executive Secretary for the nation. Later, I became the Oyo State Chairman after the tenure of @⁨Asa⁩ .

I have always told you that save for the fact that some of us don't mouth and make locomotive and dane gunshot noise like you people do to attract self-serving attention to yourselves, you are like a toddler or inarobo when our real and genuine human rights credentials are placed side by side. Ariwo ko ni music o. Professor Ishaq Oloyede of JAMB may not have the Osama Bin Laden like beard or wear a three -quarter off the ground sunnah trousers and or a burnt forehead like some muslim fanatics boastly display, but none of them can match the pure jihad of that noble Professor which his exemplary character epitomises at all times noiselessly. He is a genuine Ambassador of Islam and a role model for mankind. One million fanatical Jihadists can never, combined together, earn the rewards that Allah(swt) would accord Professor Oloyede for his contributions to the development and advancement of humanity and mankind because he is an unsung and unlabelled human rights activists by practice , exemplary unblemished character and impeccable integrity.

Some of those who stole CLO's foreign grant and bled it to death profusely had severely reported me to the legendary Aketi and asked my Hero to beg and appealed to stop attacking and ridiculing them. Aketi begged and indeed apoealed to me to leave them to their fates, that they would sooner or later meet their karma later in life. Mr. Femi Falana asked me not to accede to Aketi's request on the ground that rogues should not be covered up under any circumstances. However, the bond between some of us and Aketi was cultic in nature because the great Aketi to us was a godfather. Some of us( myself inclusive) even elevated our Emperor Aketi to the level of a Deity that we worshipped at his feet. Aketi was to us a God-sent Prophet, I obeyed Aketi's directive and refused to listen to FF.
Some of those rogues and sheep in wolves clothing are the ones sponsoring the iminent trumped up protest in the country.
The worst, most devilish and most corrupt politicians in Nigeria are by all standards better than Nigerian holier than thou, prentenders, roguish and most irresponsible jejune human rights activists. They are largely merchandise and wheel dealers in nature, they are to me Comeraids who call and refer to themselves as Comrades.
The exceptions known to me are Late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAM, SAM, Bamidele Aturu, Tai Solarin, Professor Wole Soyinka, Prof. Eskor Toyo, Prof. Olorode, the great Jango, Prof. Agbon, Late Chima Ubani, Mrs. Joe Okei-Odumakin, the great Femi Falana, SAN , Prof. Chidi Anselm Odinkanlu, Nurudeen Ogbara Esq., Layi Awosode, Cimrade Ola Oni, Moshoodi Erubami, Femi Aborisade, and my Ibadan kinswoman the charming and pretty Mrs. Ayo Obe to mention a few I can recollect. Any person who feels his name should be in this list but which I may have excluded should speak out and I would openly categorise such person(s) properly either as Comrades or Comraid or as a mixture of both.

Most (99℅) of the rest are Lucifers and I dare them to file a libel suit against so that I can rightly expose and strip them naked before the whole world.

It would be sheer foolhardy and preposterous for me at my stage and status in life to follow stupidly like a mumu and or mob action the protest orchestrated and plotted by those merchandise human rights barons when none of them can never everveven match by any standards the spartan, impeccably clean and integrity life that I live and exhbit religiously always.

Nigerian governments at all the 3( three) tiers should hearken to the genuine cries of the real suffering masses because the present hardship in Nigeria is unbearable and very hellish, Nigerians need true succour and not phantom palliatives. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should cut dien the ever rising cost of governance and extravagant lifestyles that have become the trademark of all the previous governments in Nigeria without exception and this includes the present PBAT government, especially the prodigious , Robin Hood but yet Shylock National Assembly.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu MUST NOT allow his government to be armtwisted, blackmailed, harassed and kidnapped by our so-called human rights activists whose opaque motive was to force the government to a negotiation table to enable them collect fat ransom from the federal government locally while also at the same time continue to attract foreign grants in dollars from unsuspect international donors and development partners.

Protest my foot!!! I will never join the multitudes of those human rights bandits and terrorists to destroy Nigeria and Nigerians.

Yorubas are the avowed enemies of themselves.
All that some Yorubas want is for the man , Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be disgraced and sentenced to prison like Pa Awo or to be detained and killed like MKO Abiola.
But why? Why are we like that?
Take it or leave it, the only politician of note and of repute that the Yorubas have, nationally, now is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu( BAT), the Jagaban Borgu.
Yoruba should rally round BAT to preserve and promote him in their own interest and for their own good, but if they choose to do otherwise and pull him down or destroy him, nobody need to gaze into any crystal ball to foretell that Yoruba race is heading on self destruct again.
And we must not blame any other tribe or race for the attendant misfortunes consequent upon such inglorious choice ( God forbid) because we are the architects of same and like Shakespare wrote in Julius Ceasar that " The fault , Dear Brutus , is not in our Stars , but ourselves for we are the undelinings" shall be applicable to us.
The Ball is certainly in our court for us to make or mar.

Congratulations to the best Governor so far since Oyo State is created .
You have discharged creditably on the trust and confidence reposed in you by the people of Oyo State.

By your efforts , Ibadan is no longer a garrison city or a failed state it was at 29th May, 2011, but today it an urban renewed city , a safe haven, the most peaceful and the most secured state in Nigeria.
You have raised the bar of governance in Oyo State very high that we can safely assert and conclude that Oyo State can never be governed by charlatans and mediocres again .
Congratulations Mr. Quality Infrastructures, The Konstituted Authority himself, Mr. Restoration, Mr. Transformation and Mr. Repositioning.

Senator Isiaka Abiola Adeyemi Ajimobi, the Aare Atunluse of Ibadanland and the Aare of Ibadanland , His Excellency Koseleri of Ibadanland (HEK) , the proud husband of our Masterpiece of nature.

Even , your bitterest enemy admitted and agreed that unarguably you are the best Governor in the history of our pace-setting State.
Am proud to be a core and kitchen member of your administration.
Congratulations Sir.
