MBE is Against Pimping: Our Ladies Are Precious, They Must Be Adored


Everyday one hears different stories, then you start wondering if there are still genuine people out there... Very hard to tell and know these days. People start a business, organization, association; name it..., just to defraud, use and abuse others; especially the innocent ones.

I just got to know that some organisations pimp beauty princesses and queens and use them for other ungraceful things. At Miss Black Europe International Scholarship Pageant we cherish our young ladies. As a mother myself, I see them as my daughters, nieces, sisters. I want them to learn and grow; I want to impact my knowledge, experience and passion that I have for our community in them so they can be bold, beautiful inside, and strong to give back to the society when we help them to find the key to the door of success.

It is about mentoring, branding, empowering and showcasing them, while we let them know and see that education is the key. One's education will never fail, even if other things fail. We coach them not only about the formal education, but also the informal which entails morals, discipline, humility, selflessness and above all respect for everyone regardless whom they are and their background.

When young ladies are being destroyed or polluted, we get it all wrong, because ladies are the bedrock of our society, one day they will have their own homes, give birth to men and women to be (which are the world); what they get is what they'll give back to the world... The chain of unprotected, undisciplined community, then grows. We see beyond today at MBE.

As a licenced Philologist up to doctoral level, with maximum respect for authority, I can't but let the young ladies know and believe that formal and informal education are both essential in becoming successful in life, not only being successful, but to maintain success in the journey of life, that is not always smooth.

We should NOT make money by destroying others, doing so turns to chain of destruction; why? The ladies might one day start same type of organization and will then destroy, abuse and use the younger ones, because it was once done to them. Only a good, forgiving and disciplined ones will cut off the chain of destruction and become clean.

People should be honest, transparent and kind. If they want to use girls... let them go and open a brothel, don't camouflage with beauty pageantry, beauty pageantry is dignifying, don't turn it into trash and what people will look down on. Beauty pageantry is not prostitution, it's graceful and royal; it must be kept so.

After MBE 2014, we have taken swimming wear session out our competition. We do not need the ladies' body to know how beautiful and intelligent they are. We want to see their inner beauty and how they can be useful to our community and be self-sufficient.

I'm not totally against organization who are still into swimming wear session, inasmuch there is no hidden agenda; I hope one day they'll see no need for swimming wear session.

With ten years experience in beauty pageantry, we have never and we will never go down 'the dirty path'. All we do is for the betterment of our community.

Also, we will never promise prizes and benefits that we know we won't give, we have never done so, and will won't. We heard that some don't fulfil their promises; it's indecency doing so. Again, we do not 'fix the winner', it's immoral engaging in that. Well, all our ladies are winners, the only difference is some get the top prizes; whichever way none leaves without benefits.

Honesty and kindness are part of us; no deceit games. I know, we can't change the whole world, but we can change the world around us and it will gradually spread around.

Let's heal the world.

A Hidden Secret About Senator Iyiola Omisore: Must Be Revealed


This is just the time to tell the truth about what I know about this controversial man. I'll say it loud, for people to be able to make up their minds and never make any mistake at all.

This is the best time ever, I'm sure and prepared to say it just the way it is... It has been taking so much of my energy to put this together and decide whether is the best thing to do.

Yes! It is, for the interest of many people, I have set a time to do this, who and what to convince me not to do it, I don't know and I can think of it.

It's just about the right time to say it clear and loud, then, I'll be at peace with myself.

The truth without fear or favour will be told soon.

May We Walk With The Right People In Our Journey Of Life


Life is a college, we all learn each day, therefore we need to learn, know and understand who is who in our life and for what purpose each individual is there for.

Some are just playmates, this set has nothing to offer than to play and chat irrelevant chats with you, they are time wasters (TW), be careful, don't waste your precious time with them. They only want to have-fun and while away the time, you do not really mean anything to them; they are on an adventure most times. Their attention is on someone else... so make the chats brief or cut if off totally if need be.

Wishing A Special Friend A Beautiful Birthday: Senator Babafemi Ojudu


You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against

Anyone who takes offense

At a day in your celebration

Cause we all know in our minds

That there ought to be a time

That we can set aside

To show just how much we love you

And I'm sure you would agree

It couldn't fit more perfectly

Than to have a world party on the day you came to be



Happy birthday to you



                                      
The time is overdue

For people like me and you

Who know the way to truth

Is love and unity to all God's children

It should be a great event

And the whole day should be spent

In full remembrance

Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people

So let us all begin

We know that love can win

Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can




We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago


That lives in all of the hearts of people

That believe in unity

We'll make the dream become a reality

I know we will

Because our hearts tell us so

Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah

Happy birthday...


"Happy Birthday" - Stevie Wonder

And If My Time On Earth Were Through


Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So, I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark

And a thought crosses my mind
If I never wake in the morning

Would she ever doubt
The way I feel about her in my heart

Amb Dion Osagie: I Want To Make Progress Contagious.

Amb Dion Osagie
When I came across Amb Dion Odagie, the president of GODSENT FOUNDATION on Facebook live video, I was like,  'This is it'... but to be sure, I followed his activities for a good while, I saw his supports for the orphans, widows, youths from poor background and many other sets of people that are in need; then, I confidently believe that he's real and he's full of passion for the community and humanity at large. 

His job is not an easy one, it must be a special calling and part of one's being. Being involved in charitable activities myself, I know there must be a burning passion to keep one going. I see the  passion in Amb Dion Osagie. Let's all encourage and support this vibrant and willing to help young man that left all behind in the US, to give back to his community in his own way.

Government's Duty Is To Provide Enabling Environment For People: Alhaji Umaru Kwairanga (Sarkin Fulanin Gombe)


Humility, tranquility and respect are one of the qualities I cherish in humans; most especially when someone is a leader. Leadership must be about humanity and how to lead selflessly, many got it wrong and see themselves as 'mini-gods'.

Alhaji (Dr.) Umaru Kwairanga (Sarkin Fulanin Gombe), Bsc. (Hons.), MBA, Msc, FCS, FCIP, FloD is a man with leadership skills. He's a complete gentleman, well polished, polite, pleasant and groomed. He masters good communication skills, decent interaction and calmness which are very essential in leadership. Having been in the leading role, traditionally, politically and in finance and security sectors for over ten decades won't be of any surprise to anyone that knows his capacity to discharge his duties with passion and focus, without letting anything in his way, would know him seeking to be the number one citizen of Gombe State with all personal conviction and popular demand is just a right thing to do, because he's got what it takes to do things right and make things better. Also, he's got the staying power.

His connections, both within Nigeria and abroad are pluses to the State. He has travelled to many countries around the five continents of the world, respecting their cultures and what each human stands for, with courtesy for their belief and culture.


After following him for a while, I was pretty sure that he well worth it and this is our conversation below, know more about Gombe State Governor to be:

Gonna Hear The Voices Sing


Gonna break from these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I'll do it
When I'm back on my feet again
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
But I'll see it
When I'm back on my feet again

When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down that street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that
I'm strong

Gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I hear them
When I'm back on my feet again

Gonna feel the sweet light of heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day, one sweet day
I will feel it
When I'm back on my feet again

And I'm not gonna crawl again
I will learn to stand tall again
No I'm not gonna fall again
Cos I'll learn to be strong
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll be back on my feet again

CSP ID Adedeji, The DPO, The Nigeria Police Station, Ilesha Wins MBE Improver Awards


Our paths crossed in a 'family talk', which we kept in 'family circle'. Since then, CSP ID Adedeji, The Divisional Police Officer, The Nigeria Police Station, Ilesha has been a very pleasant man and does his work with all his heart. A lot of obstacles in the system, but as a decent man that serves conscientiously; he keeps his calm and he never fails to take action when necessary. 


After following his activities for a good while, I realised he deserves an award. An award is not just to appreciate what someone has done or doing, but to encourage them to do more. Someone like CSP ID Adedeji, needs our encouragement and support. For sure, there are still some good police out there and they need our love and moral support.


He made my four-day-stay in Ilesha tension-free, I was well protected and warmly welcomed, I had a sound sleep believing that the person in charge of the security and protection of life and properties is doing is best in protecting the community.


I truly believe in the saying that goes, it's not how long you've known people but, how well you keep the relationship/friendship intact that matters. 


We'll be meeting again soon at  the premiere of our new Movie TERRAIN OF POWER and MBE 2018  IMPROVER AWARDS in February.

Leadership Is Sacrifice: Kolawole Kazeem, The Provost of Osun State College of Education


We've been acquaintances since March 2011, at a point we became friends and discuss whenever we had the time; at a stage there was an intermission in our communication. When we connected again, it seems there was no break in between, everything just as it was, we just picked it up where we left it; I'll say this is a sign of respect, maturity and spirit of real friendship. I could be a bit sensitive at times, but being a super gentleman that he is, he knows how to keep our friendship going. For this, I respect him and I see a good sign of leadership in him. I respect his calmness that doesn't lack strength, with my experience with him, calmness doesn't mean one is weak. Calmness is a sign of strength and wisdom. Kolawole is a stable and focused man. To know a bit about him, read the interview below:

You are a leader in different departments: what's leadership to you? Leadership is sacrifice.
How far would you go to sacrifice? As much as God gives me. I have started in my own little way.

Good communication skill is part of good leadership; how well do you communicate with your subordinates? Engagement is what drives my relationship with all strata of the college.

Participation Brings Representation: Otunba Wesco To Represent His Constituency


Otunba Barrister (Hon) Adewale Moses Osinubi addressing his constituents

When one participates, supports and contributes to the wellbeing of his community, It's sure one day will be given the opportunity to represent and serve them.

I have been a 'distant friend'/acquaintance to Barrister (Hon) Otunba Adewale Moses Osinubi aka Otunba Wesco; the CEO of Wesco Pools, Lottery Ltd and Wescobet International Ltd for four years, we became closer last year. Since, the past four years I know he has love of his people at heart, being the person I am, I watch closely and carefully from a far and try to see the truth within. Since, no one is perfect and we can't  see or know it all; so, we can't be sure of every bit. But one thing I'm sure of, after talking with him face to face, I can be sure that he's capable to serve conscientiously. He's well prepared and has a heart of gold.

Otunba Barrister (Hon) Adewale Moses Osinubi and friends

We only talk when we can, since he's a very busy person, and myself I have got my things to attend to. Whenever we talk, I realised how humble and caring he is; he's a bundle of joy.

He's now stepping out for 2019, to represent his people and give them the best they have never had. He's very helpful to the less privileged in the society, not only in his constituency. I can see clearly the opportunity of him representing Ijebu Ode, Odogbolu, and Ijebu North East come 2019.

I Say A Prayer With Every Heartbeat


There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of 
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above 
Ooh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love
How will I know (Don't trust your feelings) 
How will I know 
How will I know (Love can be deceiving) 
How will I know 
How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heartbeat 
I fall in love whenever we meet 
I'm asking you what you know about these things 
How will I know if he's thinking of me 
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak) 
Falling in love is all bitter sweet 
This love is strong why do I feel weak
Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now 
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love

Know When Interest Is Fading: Don't Accept Excuses



1. When they pick up their phone up today and they don't pick tomorrow; then think.

2. When they are not consistent and caring, and excuses are endless, then know it's fading.

Don't give excuses for people, don't accept excuses like; they are busy that's why they can't answer your call or call you. It's just a matter of priority, we are all busy in our own ways. We all give priority to things and people we love.

Remember, no one is too busy for love and to love; without love, we are nobody. When interest is fading; question it, address it. If there's no changes, then know you are right at the bottom of their priority list.

Most times you'll know it's fading, but you're in denial of what's very true.

Don't force it; 'fade away' too. Be happy with life, don't let fading interest get at you.

Oluwo of Iwo Wins MBE Heart of Gold Award

Natural, The King and Sola: Award presentation to the King

It was a long day but it well worth it. It took us approximately two hours to get to Iwo from Ilesha. Love, dedication and passion were all well in place to make such journey. Travelling on the road for the first time makes it look like never ending journey... We were a bit on the trip, every 20 minutes or there about I kept sending my location to His Imperial Majesty, for him to know that we were on our way; the road was not that smooth, also we didn't know our way. The Officer that drove us down was such a pleasant man, I was expecting some discomfort on his face, but rather were smiles.. this gave me the strength to carry on.

His Imperial Majesty, Telu1, Alashe Lori Orisha, Oba Abdul-Raheed Adewale Akanbi transmits inner peace and calmness, I felt so comfortable listening to him and discussing too... but we had to leave. He saw us to the palace main gate... celebrations begun. I felt like staying another hour or more, but we had to live.

He serves his community with love and kindness.

Do I desire to see him again? Yes is the answer, and very soon. He's a pleasant leader with loads of words of wisdom. A brave man, very straightforward in coming across to everyone. A very humble, spiritual and respectful leader he is.

Here are some of our conversations with the King:

What are the misconceptions of people about you; and how do you feel when you get to know? I don't worry about misconceptions, all I have to do is deliver my message.

What's religion to you? Religion is a set of rules and regulations, spirituality is the only pure thing and only God can you, not religion; spirituality knows no religion.

May the King Live Long!
