DELE FAROTIMI: Original Sin

December 20, 2024December 20, 2024 Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment

Make no mistake… it is equally important that decisions of court are not only made in accordance with the law, but that there is equally a determination to ensure that they are not only enforced but obeyed without any form of interference.¹ When THISDAY Newspaper carried those words on the 21st of February, 2023, the writer could not have known that they would have bearing… Read more

DELE FAROTIMI: Baba’s “Mistake”

December 6, 2024December 6, 2024 Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment

The following are said with the utmost respect to all parties involved… In my humble opinion, Baba made a mistake. When you are fighting injustice, there are at least three courts to consider: 1. Court of Law: what the law of the land says 2. Court of Public Opinion: the optics of the matter 3. Court of Conscience: what is known between you and your… Read more

Doctor of Medicine, or Interpreter of Results?

October 11, 2023October 11, 2023 Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment

There is now a recalcitrant trend among our people. It is not new, but it sure is growing. Before now, everyone knew to seek the (medical) doctor out whenever they ailed. It was the doctor who then decided what investigations to order, and what treatment to give, after thorough history taking and relevant physical examination. What we find now is rather different, the well-documented physician-apathy… Read more

The POTENTIAL VIII: Acquiring Land

October 8, 2023October 8, 2023 Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment

Every good business needs its own land sooner or later. Plus, land is an appreciative asset, unlike cars, and makes for good collateral, unlike shares. But when it comes to acquiring land, it is often a case of the same person not possessing a good head and a fitting cap. Why? Those of us with the tricks and nice locations do not have the wherewithal,… Read more

NMA Ogun Strike: Who Won What?

Good day, elders and colleagues. With your kind permission, I say with due respect that “igba ara l’aa búra…”. At the launch of this strike on earlier in September, yours truly proposed that that was only the “first phase” and that we might have to “modify the modality of the strike” at some point. I do not identify as a seer but we entered the… Read more

The POTENTIAL IX – These Little Things

October 4, 2023October 4, 2023 Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment

In the book, titled Thirty Things You Must Do Before You Are Thirty, Ayotunde Okunowo advocates the ownership of a house, however small, before you are thirty years old. I have never met anyone averse to owning a house, not even my lovely JW friends. A house even makes for a good collateral, and is an important business asset. But as my people say: Àyangbe… Read more

Hazard Allowance: Strike or Stroll?

October 1, 2023October 1, 2023 Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment

Good day, elders and colleagues. Permit me to stand on existing protocols as I say the following with the utmost respect: b’a ba pẹ lori emi, eṣin k’eeṣin a maa ba ni nibẹ! We had two years to fight for hazard allowance. We… (I shan’t say we didn’t) but obviously, our agitation got overtaken by peculiar allowance and the hazard was neutralised by same. If… Read more
