The offences, according to the charge sheets, were contrary to and punishable under sections 1(1)(2) (A), (B), 319(1), 320, 509, and 451 of the state penal code.

The Magistrate, Busayo Adediwura, who declined the accused plea, remanded him at Ilesa Correctional Centre, while stating that the case file should be duplicated for the Director of the Public Prosecutor’s counsel before adjourning the case till September 21 for the presentation of fact.

RAISE MEN THAT RAISE MEN

By
"Raise men in men, as only men grows men, you won't continue to be strong always.  For the strength of a nation is not in its military might, nor in its technological advancements, but in the character of its citizens.  The future belongs to those who are willing to nurture, to guide, and to empower the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and change-makers. As we strive to build a better world, let us recognize that true strength lies not in dominance, but in vulnerability; not in power, but in compassion; and not in individual greatness, but in collective progress. Let us raise men who are vulnerable enough to show emotion, courageous enough to stand for what is right, and resilient enough to weather life's storms.  Let us raise men who will lift others up, who will listen, and who will lead with empathy and kindness. For when we raise men who embody these qualities, we create a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of gender, race, or background. A world where s...

ALL IS VANITY BY COMRADE ABDUL-KAREEM YUSUF OPEYEMI

By
"Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. The relentless pursuit of fleeting pleasures, the never-ending chase of earthly treasures, the ceaseless striving for temporary glory.  We toil, we labor, we struggle, but for what? Is it not to grasp the wind, to clasp the mist, to hold the sand between our fingers?  For in the end, what remains? What endures? Not the riches we accumulate, nor the titles we wear, nor the praise we receive. Not the kingdoms we build, nor the empires we conquer. For when the dust settles, and the ages pass, what remains is the legacy of our hearts. The love we shared, the kindness we showed, the compassion we gave. So let us not be fooled by vanity's siren call. Let us not be seduced by the fleeting allure of earthly glory. For true greatness lies not in what we accumulate, but in what we give. Let us invest in the eternal, not the ephemeral. Let us build bridges, not monuments. Let us sow seeds of love, not harvests of fame." By Comr. Abdulkareem Yusuf ...
