“Ki Lo De Ti Olooto O Ki Ni Eni?” The Relentless Persecution of Oriyomi Hamzat and His Fight for the Masses

Image
   Alh. Oriyomi Hamzat   “Ki lo de ti olooto o ki ni eni?” — Why is it that the truthful one often walks alone, devoid of friends in the corridors of power?  Throughout human history, whenever a man rises with a genuine, burning desire to liberate the poor and shatter the chains of oppression, the ruling elite immediately recognize him as a threat. They do not fight him because he is evil; they fight him because his light exposes their darkness. This timeless tragedy perfectly encapsulates the current, relentless persecution of Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat as he steps into the governorship race in Oyo State.  Oriyomi Hamzat is not the only governorship candidate in Oyo State. The political landscape is flooded with contenders. Yet, the arrows of malice, state-sponsored harassment, and coordinated slander are being shot at him from every conceivable direction. Why? Because unlike the traditional politicians who view the masses as mere voting statistics, Oriyomi Hamzat ...

Victor Ndoma-Egba, OFR, CON, SAN ProChancellor, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti; Grand Patron, HyCuTIPI      Prof. Joshua Olalekan Ogunwole Vice Chancellor, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti. HyCuTIPI Trustee  How a Small Island Became One of the World’s Most Consequential Technology and Innovation Powers In the contest for technological leadership, size does not always determine influence. The United States and China possess continental-scale markets, enormous financial resources and formidable technological ecosystems. Japan, South Korea, Germany and other advanced economies command powerful industrial capabilities. India has a vast pool of scientific and technological talent and a rapidly expanding digital economy. Yet, in the middle of these elephants, whales and hawks, Taiwan has emerged as something different: a relatively small economy with an extraordinary concentration of technol...

FORGING A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN NIGERIA AND TAIWAN’S IVORY TOWERS: A CATALYST FOR ACCELERATING NIGERIA TOWARDS A TRILLION-DOLLAR ECONOMY

   Amb David Ademola Adejuwon President, HyCuTIPI    Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, OFR, CON, SAN Pro Chancellor, FUOYE & Grand Patron, HyCuTIPI      Prof Joshua Ogunwole Vice Chancellor, FUOYE & Trustee, HyCuTIPI 1. The Central Proposition Nigeria’s ambition to transform its economy into a US$1 trillion economy within a relatively short period will require more than conventional government programmes. It will require an aggressive transition from a predominantly resource- and consumption-driven economy toward one built on knowledge, technology, innovation, industrial production, human capital and globally competitive value chains. One potentially powerful but underutilised instrument is a structured partnership between Nigeria’s universities and research institutions and Taiwan’s universities, science parks, technology institutes and innovation ecosystem. Taiwan evidently offers a particularly relevant model because its economic transformation has...

POLAM’S MEGA EMPOWERMENT: A COMMENDABLE INVESTMENT IN THE PEOPLE OF OLD IREPO

Image
The Mega Empowerment Programme organised by the Member representing Irepo/Orelope/Olorunsogo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. (Dr.) Prince Olaide Lateef Mohammed, popularly known as POLAM, deserves commendation.    The programme, which brought together constituents from the three local government areas, featured the distribution of practical empowerment items, including mini-trucks, motorcycles, fertilisers, deep freezers and other forms of business and livelihood support. What makes such an initiative worthy of recognition is the practical nature of the intervention. Empowerment is most meaningful when it provides people with tools that can help them earn a living, expand existing businesses or establish new economic activities. POLAM's latest initiative also comes against the background of a series of constituency interventions attributed to his representation since his assumption of office in 2023. These have included agricultural support, scholars...

  Amb. David Ademola Adejuwon President, HyCuTIPI Sen. Victor Ndoma-Egba, OFR, CON, SAN Pro-Chancellor, FUOYE & Grand Patron, HyCuTIPI Introduction Nigeria and Taiwan possess complementary strengths that can support a deeper relationship between their private sectors. Nigeria offers a large and growing consumer market, abundant agricultural and mineral resources, a young workforce, entrepreneurial capacity and a strategic gateway to the wider African market. Taiwan brings globally competitive capabilities in technology, manufacturing, precision engineering, smart agriculture, electronics, biotechnology, education, research, digital innovation and SME development. The strategic opportunity is therefore not simply to increase trade. It is to build long-term commercial partnerships that combine Nigerian resources, markets and entrepreneurial capacity with Taiwanese technology, management expertise, finance, innovation and industrial know-how. The September 2026 high-level Nige...
