We still expect to see/hear more from her in the future. Adesuwa Oyenokwe: With over 30 years experience in journalism, Adesuwa has run the entire gamut and is still re-inventing herself. From Today’s Woman and One-on-One on NTA, to being the Publisher of TW Magazine, and now hosting ‘Seriously Speaking,’ she proves that there is always room to evolve. Admiral Itunu Hotonu: Smart, articulate and very intelligent, Admiral Hotonu is the first woman to attain the rank of Rear Admiral (a two-star General), in the Nigerian Navy. Amina Oyagbola: A top HR Executive at MTN Nigeria, she’s also the Founder of WISCAR (Women in Successful Careers) a not-for-profit, gender empowerment and mentoring initiative for professional career women. Banke Meshida-Lawal: If you want to have your makep done by Banke, you probably have to book a year in advance. One of the pioneer makeup artists in Nigeria, Banke is the CEO of BMPRO makeup, and also has a cosmetic make-up range with the same name. She has shown that one can have a thriving career through make-up. Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola: She is the co-founder of WeCyclers.

Aareonakakanfo: Thanks for the update Sir. Going back to Regionalism is the only way out of this mess. We have done it before and it worked successfully for the Regions, we can do it again if we want to get out of this ravaging poverty. Learnt States have applied for another 10Bn Loan each from FG and FG is ready to give them the Soft Loan, for how long shall states borrow from FG? To God be the glory, Western Region was the most Successful amongst the Regions then, thank to Sage Papa Awolowo. It worked for us then, it can work for us again. The most important factor is the Political Will. My only fear now is North. Would they approve Regionalism in this year 2015? I don't think so. They have become used to the feeding bottle approach, quota system and status-quo. They see going back to region government as a threat, they may never approve it. And with the present situation in this One Nigeriya, we would need the support of Legistators from North before it could be approved. As far as I'm concern, Regionalism is the only solution. Big Guys(Lagos, Ogun and Ondo) may help the Small Guys(Oyo, Osun and Ekiti) till they can stand on their own feet. And I think National Assembly should make a juicy bill that will encourage investors to invest into solid minerals. Like giving the investors certain percentage, say 35 to 40%, FG 35 to 40% and States(LG included) 20 to 30%. That will go a long way in checkmating the illegal activities of Jet Lis in Nigeria and bring about mining industries. As it is now, the Jet Lis pay certain amount to LG and State Agents illegally to carry out their illegal activities. There is abundance of Clean Gold Deposit in Osun State that may last for about 70years at the rate of 1,000 ounce a day yet people are wallowing in poverty. This feeding bottle approach has really killed this nation, the oyel was more of a curse than blessing. We shall overcome the problems, we shall get to the promise land. I believe. God Bless Yorubaland. 9 Likes |

The young doctor could become the first black African in space. The competition is “organized by London-based talent agency Kruger Cowne in partnership with One Young World and Xcor Space Expeditions… putting this person in the global spotlight to help lead and promote issues of global importance,” Quartz reported. “If selected, I will be making Africa proud as the first black African to go to space thereby making history in the process,” “Going to space is not the overall objective of the project. It is to be able to raise global conversations on issues that affect us all as inhabitants of planet earth such as climate change, global peace and poverty,” Osonuga told Quartz. The race to be the first black African to space is heating up as South African DJ Mandla Maseko could still beat Osonuga to the record.
