Causes of under-development identified
Limited infrastructural facilities such as lack of good motorable roads,
potable water, epileptic electricity supply and poor telecommunication network have been identified as causes of underdevelopment status of Oke ogun and many other
regions in Nigeria.
Disclosing this was a university lecturer, Dr Idowu Olayinka while speaking
at the fourth annual lecture of Oke ogun Youth Consultative Forum (OYCOF) which
held at the Cultural Centre, Mokola, Ibadan in Sepember this
year.
Titled Socio-Economic Agenda for Regional Transformation:
Perspectives in the case of Oke ogun’ the lecture
is one of the attempts by OYCOF to call the attention of those concerned to issues that can engender development and end age-long neglect and marginalization.
Olayinka assessed the Nigerian situation and regretted that “socio-economic development in Nigeria has been declining in spite of increasing revenue
from crude oil.” adding that poverty and unemployment are intolerably high despite the fact “the country is favourably
endowed in natural and human resources”.
Speaking to the applause of an audience whose mind he seemed to have
read, the University of Ibadan geology lecturer identified some of the natural
resources with which the country is endowed including those in Oke ogun and insisted that Nigeria or indeed any part thereof
has no reason to be where we are today. Afterall, “there are countries
such as Malaysia and Indonesia,
which in the 1960’s were at comparable levels of per capita GDP as Nigeria, but had since grown into relatively affluent countries.”
(Read the full text of his thought-provoking lecture in the next edition of Oloye News, DV).
Oycof chairman spoke of the discriminatory attitude of successive administrations in Oyo State as being responsible for the fate
of Oke ogun.
Speaker after speaker on the occasion spoke along the same line. But they also emphasised the need by Oke ogun people
to take their destiny in their own hands by relying less on outside influences. This is especially so for politicians who
rely on individuals from outside the area to determine who is to be their leaders.
Since its establishment, Oycof has being holding an annual lecture and carry out enlightenment programmes for the
purpose of raising the standard of Oke ogun.
Budget 2007: Obj disappoints again
Nigerians, especially people of Oke ogun are again expressing dismay that President Olusegun Obasanjo could neglect
the area in the last budget his administration is to implement before leaving the stage. Expressing thier views on the 2007
budget pesented to the National Assembly by the president recently, those who spoke with Oloye News wondered why the federal
government did not show expected commitment to the roads belonging to it.
Roads that are in Oke ogun and roads that are of strategic importance to the area such as Saki-Ibadan road, Ibadan
Ilorin road, Saki-Igbeti-Ilorin road, as well as the Badagry-Sokoto Expressway “that had been on the on the drawing
board for nearly 30 years” lamented Wale Oladele, a youth activist in Ogbooro, Saki East Local Government.
Simon Idiapa, another young politician in Igbeti in Olorunsogo LG spoke in the same vein with Oladele.
To him, Obasanjo seems to revel in programmes that hardly have bearing on the welfare of the people.
He recalled that the president made some promises to the people of Oke Ogun when he visited in 2001.
“Until today, not a single one of these promises have been fulfilled. And in the budget he just presented, which
a more pragmatic politician would have used to correct his earlier mistakes, no projects that would be generally beneficial
to us in Oke ogun are discerned in it. It is a pity” he said with bitterness.
JSS 1 in Oyo State: Parents
pay about N3,000
Contrary to the claim being made by the Oyo State Government, some principals
in some public-owned secondary schools in the state are exacting exhorbitant fees from parents of new students being admitted
into their schools.
Information reaching Oloye
News revealed that authorities in these schools are
charging sundry sums which they gave various titles.
Minstry of Education has authorised the sum of N320 to be paid by each student.
But we learnt that sums ranging from N2,500 to N3,500 are being charged. The
sum must be paid upfront, otherwise the child would not be admitted.
The fees came under the following headings:
Government fee - N320
Development levy - N500
Charge for Supplementary Teachers’ Pay - N300
(N100 per month. The first term of three month comes to N300 payable in advance.
2nd term would be N400).
Cutlass and hoe - N700
Uniform
- N700
Besides, each pupil is to bring a broom and two canes.
Although many parents who experienced this expressed dismay over the demand,
they were impelled to pay with a view securing placements for their children
and wards. Many were reluctant to make it a public issue for fear of having their children and wards victimised.
However, Mr Hussain Adebisi who took his son
a public school at Oniyanrin complained bitterly about the unwholesome fees he was forced to pay - as stated above.
“I paid the money because the school is the closest to our house. I
dont want my son to go to a school that it too far from home. But I tell you, I was not happy about the payment - moreso when
it is announced daily on the radio that the schools are to collect on N320.”
Mrs Mary Ojebode whose daughter was admited to a public school at Sanngo
corroborated Adebisi’s submission.
She added that even when they bought a cutlass and a hoe to the school, the
authority refused, saying that the money (N500) should be paid - and not that they should go and bring the implements.
A source close to the commissioner of Education maintained that parents who
is asked to pay anything beyond the stipulated fee should report to the ministry.
“So far, no-one has come”.
Contractor who
abondons Oke ogun roads to face EFCC - Akala
Governor
Christopher Alao Akala of Oyo State
has assured that the contractor who was to execute the Okaka - Otu-Komu-Igbojaye road but abandoned it would be handed over
to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
The governor
made this disclosure last Wednesday while welcoming traditional rulers and chiefs from Oke ogun area of the state to his office.
The traditional rulers under the eagis of Oke-ogun Conference of Obas & Chiefs, Oyo State had gone
to the state secretariat on a visit to the governor.
But the
road would not be left in its present state of abandonment. Rather, it would be re-awarded to another contractor, going by
the governor’s pledge to the visiting kings and chiefs.
The governor
also assured the obas that the state government would not interfere in the selection of candidates to fill whatever vacancies
there are in any town or village in the state.
In the
same vein, he gave his words that whatever is due to any traditional ruler or chief would not be with-held.
Speaking
earlier on behalf of his colleagues, secretary of the Conference, Oba Gabriel Okunade Adegoke had called the governor’s
attention to Oke ogun roads “which are in pitiable and deplorable conditions”.
The obas
also wanted the Governor Akala to impress it on the Oyo State commissioner of Police, the need to do something more concrete and more urgent
about the security situation in the area.
By this they meant the frightening
dimension which the issue of armed robbery especially on the highways, have ass assumed in the area.
Oyo Govt to provide more water
Cost to be shared:
FG
50 %
State 30 %
LG 15 %
Host community 5%
Oyo State Water corporation (WCOS) is poised to ensure that water flow into the houses of those who need it.
This affirmation was made by the corporation’s chairman in the wake of visits to some water works in the state
by the corporation’s board members.
According to the chairman, Chief
Nureni Adebayo Akanbi it is the desire of Alao Akala administration ‘to ensure that all water works in the state in
proper operational condition before the forthcoming raining season so as to reduce the burden of water shortage that our people usually face especially during the dry seasons.’
The
chairman then implored citizen in various towns where water works and dams are located to promptly report any fault they notice
to appropriate official of the corporation.
He
assured that prompt action would be taken ‘whenever and wherever such a case is brought to our attention’.
Meanwhile, Oloye News gathered
that the federal government policy on water is now being implemented in Oyo
State.
Under
the policy, treated, pipe-borne water is to be provided to people all over the country.
To
make this a reality, the federal government is to provide fifty per cent of the cost of such project while the state is to
provide thirty per cent. The local government in which the project is to be sited is to provide fifteen percent while the
remaining five per cent is to be provided by the benefitting community.

Inequity
is a big threat to peace
Injustice, particularly economic injustice, absence of guaranteed security and reluctance to tolerate one another have
been identified as the major causes of conflicts in the world.
Handing down this verdict were symposiasts who gathered together to deliberate on the situation of peace in the world
and seemingly increasing violent conflicts.
The talkshop was organised by African Agency for an enhanced Socio-Ethics and Traditional Order (ASETO), a non-governmental
organisation based in Ibadan, Nigeria.
Speaking at the commencement of the symposium, the executive director of the organisation, Mr Jare Ajayi said that
ASETO decided to organise the programme in support of the United Nations which declared September 21 of every year as World
Peace day.
A communiqué issued at the end of the five hours deliberation which held at Ibadan observed that attempts by those
at the receiving end of injustice in the face of the reluctance of perpetrators of this injustice would ‘naturally breed
conflict and sometimes violence”.
They stated further that absence of verifiable security indices such as job security, food security, educational opportunities,
security of employment opportunities, security of life and property “are indisputable
nursery for conflicts which, if not addressed early enough, can lead to violence and even a war situation”. Other
issues they mentioned included sundry stratagems that guarantee the survival, in dignifying manner, of an individual and his/her
dear ones.
The symposiasts finally asserted that perceived inequity or double standard “has always led to agitations many
of which culminated in acts that are clearly inimical to peace either immediately or later”. Examples given here included
the United States of America’s clear support of Israeli’s nuclear programme while discouraging other countries
in the same Middle Eastern region. “It was little surprising that Iran and North Korea seem to be hellbent on going
ahead with their nuclear programmes despite the position of the United Nations and particularly the United States.”
He said that other organisations in various parts of the world were doing a variety of things to mark the day.
We have chosen the symposium option because we want to examine the issue of Peace from all ramifications.
Moderator of the programme, Mr Sola Akande said that peace has many dimensions ‘but all boils down to depriving
or denying people of what they deserve”.
He read a poem written on the theme of peace.
Dr Jide Ololajulo, a lecturer at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria submitted
that there is no human society without conflict. And that conflict in itself is not inimical to peace. “What can breach
peace is the way we handle conflicts”. He recalled that where there is a just mechanism for prompt resolution of conflict
situation, such a situation hardly snowball into serious violence.
Underscoring the econo-social factors in peaceful relationship, the university don asserted that most conflicts degenerate
into violence when justice is not brought to bear on the matter at hand or where the parties concerned maintain rigid positions.
“Amicable resolution of conflicts calls for fairness and concessions” he said.
Mr Freeman Okosun, a public commentator and publisher said that peace
means ‘freedom from oppression” while Mr Ebika Anthony, president, Centre for Poets (CoP), argued that the issue
of peace cannot be divorced from individual well-being.
“If my house is economically in conflict, it would be difficult to maintain a peaceful atmosphere” he said
adding that one cannot talk about peace without talking about crisis because crisis ‘is a disturber of peace’.
To Mr Makanjuola Olumi, another publisher and analyst, ‘peace is a state where there is an absence of conflict’.
He added though that peace can be personal, state, national or even global.
A teacher and playwright, Mr Kunle Okesipe was emphatic that lack of justice ‘has affected peace in different
ways”.
If one paricular ideology, he submitted, does not want to co-exist with the other or one is trying to lord it over
the other, there’ll be conflict.
“When you look at terrorism, apart from religious colour it wears, it is also a reaction to globalisation. When
there is no social justice, there’ll be no peace.”
“The crises we’ve had are linked with economic injustice... Certainly, lack of equity in the sharing of
resouces and opportunities is implicated. Where there is no justice, those at the receiving end would like to correct it by
whatever means they considered expedient”.
Secretary for the Association of Nigerian Authors (Oyo State Chapter) Mr Abiola Olosunde in his contribution, maintained
that poverty has much to do with threat to peace. Poverty, which the PhD candidate
in theatre management, defined as lack of the ability to have what makes life
worth living, degrades and can make its victim vulnerable to acts capable of truncating peace.
Ms Funmi Jinadu, an educationist and dancer, insisted that a deprived person is vulnerable to anger. “It is said
that an hungry man is an angry man. As such, any group of people who are denied their rights such as is happening in the Niger
Delta (in Nigeria) in Palestine (in the Middle East in Darfur (in Sudan, North Africa) etc would at one time or the other
summon courage and fight. A time would come when they would no longer be able to take it. When that happens, their opponent
would brand them as terrorists and the like. The ensuing confrontation cannot but breed conflict.”
Okesipe agreed that poverty has a lot to do with presence or absence of peace. He however insisted that affluence cannot
be totally absolved either.
He disclosed that there were crises caused by affluence. “Look at the second world war, it came about as a result
of Germany’s ambition of dominating the world... I dont think that this was caused by poverty.”
In the same vein, United States of America (USA) was said to have bugetted $100 billion to go and fight in Iraq. As we all know, hundreds of people are getting killed in the process. Did America
go to Iraq because it is poor?” He asked rhetorically. He answered somewhat by saying that both Germany and America
embarked on their respective missions not because of any personal deprivation “but because of arrogance and personal
desire of the countries’ leaders to extend their hegemony beyond their own respective nations”.
Observing that there appears to be animalistic tendencies in every human being, Ajayi
in agreeing with Okesipe, said that a person who is greedy is never satisfied. “When he owns mansions in Nigeria,
he would want to own mansions in Ghana, in Europe and America.” Conflict, he concluded, would greatly be reduced in
the world if nations and individuals can control their expansionist and acquistive tendencies.
Mention was also made of Iraq’s annexation of Kuwait as springing
from an attempt to satisfy personal ego of the ruler -Saddam Hussein.
Underscoring the econo-social aspect of conflicts, the symposiasts asserted that nearly one hundred violent clashes
had taken place in Nigeria alone since the advent of civilian administration in 1999. “The pattern of most of these
conflict situations have always had economic, religious or political undertone.” It was argued that the increase in
population which exerted greater pressure on the limited arable land was responsible for the communal clashes among the pastoralists and the farmers in the Mid Central zone of the country just as the Niger Delta uprisings
in recent days have been identified largely as economic.
The group finally concluded that for peace to reign whether locally or internationally, a lot of give and take, sense
of toleration, drastic reduction in acquisitive tendencies that border on greed, strengthening of states with weak infrastructures and determination to always settle disagreements through peaceful, rather
than military, means “are the surest mechanisms for the enthronement of peace in our increasingly delicate world”.

Annan urges nations to treat their indigenous peoples well –
for them to develop
By Jare Ajayi
Indigenous peoples across the world had
another opportunity to rub minds together on issues of common interest.
But beyond rubbing minds together, they
also were able to table their case on the highest platform for taking decisions affecting
our world, that is the United Nations Organization (UNO’s).
It was the Fifth Permanent Forum on Indigeneous
Issues, and participants came from various parts of the world to among others, review progress (or lack of it) made since
the beginning of the forum about ten years ago, consider steps being taken by member-nations of the United Nations regarding
indigenous peoples in their territory, chart a way forward and of course challenge the world body itself on ensuring that
its members stop various policies that are inimical to the interests of indigenous peoples.
The forum which held between Monday May
15 to Friday May 26th, 2006 deliberated on matters of diverse interests.
UN Secretary General, Dr Kofi Annan, in
his opening address, urged participants to keep channels of communication open because that is the only way to nip conflict
in the bud.
He went further to say that policies that
enhance the welfare of indigenous peoples are bound to accelerate the pace of any nation in her quest for development. He
added that it was in the realization of this that made the UN to come up with the Millenium Development Goals (MDgs) to which
he pleaded for absolute commitment by member nations.
Major sessions were devoted to deliberations
on the Draft Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as prepared by the United Nations.
The draft, initially prepared about five
years back has generated some controversies among member-nations of the world body.
Whenever the UN Working Group on Indegeous
Populations meet in its Geneva office, debates went on and
on with a lot of difficulties in reaching consensus. Same thing had been happening whenever the Working Group on the draft
declaration met.
While some countries such as the US wanted drastic changes in the draft before it
is passed, indigenous peoples themselves want the document passed as drafted.
Their belief is that the document is a
benchmark for all countries that sign it in the way they treat indigenous peoples in their areas.
Final decision comes up on Friday, May
26th.
Oorelope DPM, officers in tangle
The Director of Personnel Management (DPM) for Oorelope Local Government Council of Oyo State, Alhaji Mashood Kolawole Adeosun has had to stay away from his office in Igboho, headquarters of the
local government council.
The reason for this was the strong disagreement he has with some top officers of the council, particularly the secretary
and one of the legislators.
Although there had been misgivings between him and some people in the council for some weeks past, the crisis reached
a point on Wednesday September 20, 2006 when he reported Honourable Lanre Agoro and Honourable Yusuf Jimoh Olaide to the police in the town.
Agoro is the secretary to the local government while Jimoh is a member of the council’s legislature representing
Ward 2.
It took the intervention of the party chairman in the area, Alhaji Mudashiru Somope for the duo to be bailed from the
police station that Wednesday evening.
Sources infomed Oloye News that the whole thing was traceable to a UNDP project in the area. Some people had been given employment
under this project and placed on a salary scale of Level 7.
The DPM, in an attempt to implement a directive from the Oyo State Local Service Commission on the issue, asked the
workers concerned to bring in their credentials with a view to regularising their employment. This will entail placing each
person on a salary scale commensurate with his or her academic qualification.
It was alleged that the method adopted by the DPM was not satisfactory to the people concerned. The ensuing crisis
of confidence elicited some tension between him and some officers in the council.
On the day in question, it was alleged that Adeosun, the DPM went to the police and reported that the duo of Agoro
and Jimoh were threatening his life. The police went on the trail of the two politicians.
After getting them out of the police station, Somope took the detained officers to the council’s chairman, Hon.
Sunday Adeola. The DPM was summoned. At the meeting convened to sort the matter out, it was learnt that tempers further rose.
Somope and another party elder, Alhaji Ajibola minced no words in letting
the DPM know that his cause would have been better served if he had reported any suspicious threat to his life to the chairman
before going to the police station. The counicil’s vice chairman, Hon. Yinus Adewale Adewoyin was also at the peace-seeking
meeting.
“By rushing to the police station, are you trying to foster unity and peaceful co-existence or enmity?”
Somope had asked.
Adeosun, we learnt, saw nothing wrong in what he did.
He actually felt so unsafe that he left Igboho surreptitiously. He was later to come with Lawrence Igboho, an indigene
with a view to ensuring protection for himself. That action, Oloye
News further incensed the local people who saw Adeosun’s
action as provocative. He had, for the second time, to flee the town.
Speaking on the issue when contacted, Alhaji Bashir Olanrewaju of the Oyo State Local Government Service Commission,
confirmed the development but said that the issue had been amicably resolved. He added that Adeosun is back on his desk “only
that he is now on leave”.
Olanrewaju is also the current president of the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Oyo State chapter.
Oyo Speaker advises on voters registration voters’registration
Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Honourable
Maruf Olawale Atitola has enjoined the people of the state to come out en masse to register their names in the on-going registration
exercise.
He
made the call by a way of urging every citizens who has attained the age of 18 and above to ensure that they are registered
as “such an exercise is a civic duty for every adult Nigerian who has attained the age of 18 and above”.
He
expressed optimism that the exercise will be successful and that the 2007 elections will come out well.
The
Speaker was in Oyo among other places to monitor how the registration exercise was progressing. He spoke with INEC officers with a view to ensuring that everything went on without hitches.
Scholarship beneficiaries express thanks to OPA
We are appreciative of the gesture of members of Oke ogun Progresive Association
(USA) Inc. and promisenot only to be working hard in our studies but also to emulate their good steps when we graduate and
start to work and earn wages.
These were the words of Miss Odunayo Adepoju while speaking on behalf of her colleagues who
received 2006 instalment of the scholarship award being given to them by Oke ogun Progressive Association, a north America
based non governmental organisations peopled by indigenes of Oke ogun area of Nigeria.
She expressed the moving feeling at the Conference Centre, Ministry of Information and Culture,
Secretariat, Ibadan in September in the presence of OPA Tolani Ogundiran Scholarship
Fund, Engineer Yekinni Salami.
The award ceremony was presided over by the commissioner for Information and Culture in Oyo State, Alhaji Yinusa Adele Aderogba.
Speaking on the occasion, Engineer Salami who flew in from the United States of America for
the purpose, explained that he and his colleagues in OPA instituted the scholarship award to encourage the pursuit of higher
education by Oke ogun students particularly those from indigent parental backgrounds.
He added that they did this in realisation that the major key to personal fulfilment in life
and for the purpose of emancipating Oke ogun is education.
“We therefore urge you, beneficiaries to live up to expectation and excel in your education”.
Master of ceremony on the occasion, Mr Akinbola Osunsami has while flagging off traced the history of OPA and disclosed that the organisation has been of tremendous influence to Oke ogun
elite at home as far as helping in area of education is concerned.
Chairman of the occasion, Honourable Yinusa Aderogba praised the efforts of OPA. He said that
he was so impressed by what OPA is doing that he was ready to chip in something
to augment what the organisation is doing.
Editor in chief of Oloye News Mr Jare Ajayi
commended the association for the fraternal spirit they keep up “even in far away north America”. Ajayi who atended
the June meet-
ing of the body in Conneticut (USA) in the course of his recent visit to that country asserted
that OPA members are very patriotic in that the body is even just about starting
something for children of members.
Meaning that when they thought of promoting education,
“home was where their minds went first. It was a gesture worthy of emulation”.
Speaking in the same vein, OPA representative in Nigeria, Mr Okiki Abiola urged beneficiaries to utilise the opportunity “because it is a special privilege. As you know it
is not every student that is so lucky”.
Among the dignitaries on the occasion were Alhaji Ogundairo,
a director in the Ministry of Culture, Mr Ajibola, Mr Oluwole Adekunle friends
and associates of the beneficiaries.
The beneficiaries who received
the sum of N25,000 each are Miss Sakirat Adediran, Iseyin LG (OAU, English); Mr Temitope Adekunle, Oorelope LG, (LAUTECH,
