MC Oluomo Becomes National President of NURTW
In a significant development for the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, widely known as MC Oluomo, was elected as the new National President during the Union’s Quadrennial Delegate Conference held on Saturday.
Akinsanya was the sole candidate for the position, leading to a unanimous decision by delegates representing the four Southwest states of Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti. The election took place at the Union’s Zonal Secretariat located along the Osogbo/Ikirun road.
The proceedings were under the watchful eye of the acting National President, Aliyu Issa-Ore, who emphasized the strict adherence to the Union’s Constitution in the electoral process. Represented by Mrs. Adedamola Salam, the Head of Finance at the National Headquarters in Abuja, Issa-Ore confirmed that the Southwest zone had followed all constitutional requirements in electing Oluomo as the new President.
In addition to Oluomo’s election, Tajudeen Agbede was appointed as Vice President for the Southwest, while Akeem Adeosun was elected as a Trustee from the zone.
Following the ceremonial oath of office, a visibly emotional Akinsanya expressed a heartfelt call for unity and peace within the Union. “I have forgiven everyone who has offended me, and I hope those I have offended will forgive me as well,” he stated, rallying members to commit to protecting the Union’s integrity.
“This is our union, and we must be devoted to preserving it. We will not allow anyone to destroy our means of livelihood,” he affirmed, surrounded by family and supporters.
Enugu State Government has hailed the Government of the Republic of Finland for the arrest of the Finland-based leader of the criminal gang, Autopilots, Simon Ekpa, describing him as a common criminal, con man, and terrorist, who has no interest of Igbo people at heart.
The government also described Ekpa as a murderer and fraudster, who delights in killing his people and living large off their misery, saying that Enugu State was ready and willing to provide evidence of Ekpa-sponsored atrocities against Ndigbo to aid his trial and conviction, whether in Finland or Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, on Friday.
“The Enugu State Government welcomes the arrest of the Finland-based terrorist, Simon Ekpa.
“His arrest and trial will no doubt go a long way in strengthening peace, security, and stability in all parts of the South East.
“This arrest is in line with the demand of Governor Peter Mbah Administration, which has repeatedly made it known that Ekpa is a megalomaniac, common criminal, murderer, and fraudster, who takes joy in feeding fat on the manipulated emotions of Ndigbo and inflicting misery on the South East region.

“Ekpa has for long, and unfortunately from Finland, made a living by creating a siege climate and mentality in the South East, destroying lives, property, and the Igbo trademark of entrepreneurship and hard work. He thrives on manipulating, exploiting, and extorting the people on the pretext of fighting for their interest and for the restoration of Biafra,” the government said.

“Men Need To Submit Too”, says Pastor Olumide, Quotes Bible Passage To Back His Statement (Video)
A pastor has stated that submission in a marriage is not a requirement for women alone.
Pastor Olumide Emmanuel explained that a Christian marriage is not based on “culture” but on the teachings of the kingdom and as a result, men should respect their wives’ opinions and superior judgment and submit when appropriate.
He said: “Men, I will tell you for free, respect a woman’s sensitivity if you want to do well in life.
“Ask any married man that will be honest with you, there are things that if we did not listen to our wife we’d be in trouble by now. And there are times that we didn’t listen, we enter trouble.
“So if you’re a young person now, don’t let Africa kill you. ‘I’m a man of this house, I’m a man of this house, you can’t tell me what to do’. Forget that nonsense.
“Marriage is not an African culture, it’s a kingdom culture and in the kingdom the bible says, submitting yourself one to another. Mutual submission is a kingdom agenda for the marriage.
“So there are times you need to submit to your wife. Submit to your woman.”
