Igbeti is a town located at Oke Ogun of Oyo State. This beautiful settlement is surrounded by sixteen major beautiful rocks that present captivating scenery.

However, on discovering that she ha been sighted by the night guards, she instantly turned into a rock in order to avoid shame and embarrassment.

Anti-corruption fight: Will justice be served?

December 20, 2015
FEW days back, President MuhammaduBuhari, during a visit to Tehran, Iran, made a revelation that generated seriour interest from the Nigerian public and even beyond. He stated that many of the people that looted public treasuries in the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan had started returning stolen funds to the coffers, adding that though the gesture was appreciated, it was not a good reason to condone corruption. According to him, government would commence prosecution of such people at the appropriate time, as the government was already gathering evidence against them.

December 19, 2015
BARELY two weeks after about 22 of its members were allegedly killed during a procession in Zaria, an attack for which insurgent group, Boko Haram, claimed responsibility, the Ibrahim Al-Zakzaky-led Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), widely known as the Shiite, was last Saturday, again, in the news.

December 19, 2015
The Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy enforced by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari from September 15 has been touted as the saviour for government’s finances.

The battle for Ekiti local councils

December 18, 2015
Ekiti State is set for its first local government elections in about seven years and the people are currently being primed for the polls billed for this Saturday, December 19. Already,  the state’s electoral body had expressed its readiness for the polls and with an Ado Ekiti high court dismissing a suit filed against its composition by the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday, the hurdles against the conduct of the polls seem to have been removed, pending the appeal promised by the APC.

I am not afraid of anybody —Fayose

ON the election that brought him to power
You would recall that after I won the Ekiti State governorship election, there was this effort to stop me from being sworn in. It generated a lot of controversy, even before and after the election. There was one story of photo-chromic military rigging and all that. You would equally recall that there were four elections after mine: the presidential, National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly elections. They all followed the same pattern even when military men were not enough for the whole country.

Why PDP will retain Ondo in 2016 —deputy gov

W
HAT is your relationship with your governor in the past few months that you have spent as deputy governor? Would you like to succeed Dr Olusegun Mimiko as his second term in office ends next year?
I want to thank the Almighty God for the privilege of serving the state in the capacity of a deputy governor. Some months after my inauguration, I can only say it has been very challenging and interesting. One feels great working with Mr Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko. He is a leader that develops leaders and for this, I owe  him a lot of appreciation.

After the Kogi election

December 14, 2015
LIFE writes lousy scripts and dispenses rewards in ironic doses. The echoes of these words reiterated profoundly in various shapes and forms in the recent governorship election in Kogi State. The act of fate greatly manifested in the entire election that the whole state will not forget in a hurry.  It has loudly established a fact that of all the factors that determine leadership anywhere in the world, the act of God seems the most potent. Though, instructive and dramatic, the almighty God finally had its way in the final outcome.
