BRECAN: Concoctions, Incantations, Can not Cure Cancer - Alaafin of Oyo |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Olayiwola Adeyemi lll, has said no amount of spiritual incantation or use of concoctions can cure cancer.

Adeyemi said this in his palace when Wife of the Ondo State Governor, Betty Akeredolu, led members of the Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria (BRECAN) on a courtesy visit.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the visit was to thank him for the enormous support given to the BRECAN members in Oyo State during the 2020 World Cancer Day celebration.

“No amount of spiritual incantation, concoctions or climbing of prayer mountains that can curb it except periodical medical check-ups and self-examination, which will go a long way in reducing the mortality rate,” the monarch said.

He assured Akeredolu of his continuous support to fight breast cancer through consistent and aggressive awareness.

Adeyemi said his sister is a victim of the disease and she is still receiving treatment at University College Hospital Ibadan.

“She survived it through early detection and prompt medical approach,” the monarch added.

He promised to use his position to create more awareness for people to appreciate that “breast cancer is not a deadly disease if well managed medically at an early stage.”

He also assured BRECAN of continued support to drive their vision and mission.

Earlier, Akeredolu, who founded BRECAN, commended the monarch for the warm reception accorded her team and for his consistent support, especially during the 2020 World Cancer Day Celebration.

The governor’s wife said she was impressed with how the monarch showed genuine commitment in the fight against breast cancer.

She said,

“With the strong message and consistent one indeed, we will be able to convince our people that breast cancer is not a death sentence.

“And with the imperial majesty position, we will use him in breast cancer advocacy in the country.”

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
