 OUR KNIGHT ARMOR  By: Mallam S.A. Sanusi Only a tree with ripe and valuable fruits would be stoned at and forced to provide food for man. “ It was once advised to a mango tree to always bow when there is a serious storm just as a palm tree does.”   Literally that wasn’t about just mango tree and palm tree other than trying to make us understand only those who accept the will of Allah strictly will progress.   Quoting from our president speech on June 12 His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR “ He who can’t stand the pain of failure doesn’t deserve the joy of victory...”     They’re certain people who also want to be called a leader but have very little or no qualifications to make a good leader.

Our time to do great things just as Allah has ordained...Doing exploits now beco...

Our attention has been drawn to a publication titled: "Isese: You're neither omniscient nor omnipotent, Soyinka tells Emir of Ilorin" authored by Prof Wole Soyinka which appeared on The Punch Newspaper of 6th July, 2023. Ordinarily, one  ought not to have write a rejoinder on show of shame displayed in the publication under reference by the highly respected professor worldwide; but this rejoinder however became imperative aimed at correcting the wrong and dangerous impression as contained in the publication under reference in the mind of the reading public against the Emir, the peace-loving people of the Emirate, Nigerians and Worldwide. The rejoinder is also meant to educate the professor and his allays who for the first time in our opinion behaved like an educated illiterate over the issue of Ilorin Emirate practice, tradition and culture which became our hard-earned heritage for decades. To say the least, the publication is mischievous, malicious and provocative though...
