Professor Obafunwa, The Change LASU Needed By Adesina Oluwaseun

Published

Read article below…

Barely two weeks from now a great achiever and change maker will be completing his first term of four (4) years as the Vice Chancellor of the prestigious Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo. This world class forensic pathologist cum barrister of law has been able to transform, restructure and reposition the university from the doldrums it was in prior to his coming.

This great achiever called Professor Oladapo John Obafunwa has been able to change LASU from “glorified secondary school “the university has been known for, to an institution that can compete with its peers.

I don’t need to campaign for this illustrious son of Ilara in Epe of Lagos State for a second term in office as the Vice Chancellor of LASU as his outstanding and visible achievements are there to speak on his behalf. Within the last four years, the university can now boast of a LASU radio station. The Vice Chancellor has been able to reduce the level of cultism activities and examination malpractices to the barest minimum; he has been able to build structures, including Faculty of Science, a more befitting central library, Senate building amongst others to boost and give room for adequate and qualitative learning. He has also been able to ensure prompt release of students’ examination results and transparency in the mode of students’ admittance into the university.

Yes, there have been crises in LASU, they have always cropped up once in a while due majorly to some selfish staffs who have turned themselves into a cabal who always aim to wrestle control of the management of the university. Despite these distractions, the Vice Chancellor has ensured still that the students did not suffer too many disruptions in the academic calendars in the past four years.

Great men with vision and purpose who add value to our society are rare to find in our dear country in present times at present but when we are opportune to find such men as professor Oladapo Obafunwa, we shouldn’t allow them go.

Professor Oladapo Obafunwa should not be used as a sacrificial lamp for the cabals within the university community who have continually drawn the interest and glory of the university backward.

The reappointment of professor Obafunwa for a second term may just break the jinx of the cabals who are always ready to thwart the efforts of Vice Chancellors in the past.

The reappointment will also give room for the consolidation of the Vice Chancellor past efforts on the restructuring and repositioning of the university; turning LASU into a university students and Alumni will be proud of in the future is the aim of the Professor and all hands should be on deck to help him achieve this in the interest of all stakeholders.

Long Live Lagos State University

Why would you post pictures in your underwear? – Portable out calls Tiwa Savage

Nigerian singer Portable has raked reactions on social media after calling Tiwa Savage out for posting pictures in her underwear at 40 years old.

During his recent TikTok live stream, Portable, who is known for his outspoken personality, questioned the appropriateness of Tiwa’s posts, particularly given her status as a mother and her age.

“I’ve noticed something; someone needs to talk to Tiwa Savage, please. Tell her to calm down o. I’ve been listening to her music since I was small now I’m a father and mummy Tiwa savage is still posting pictures in her underwear. Only panties? Is it good for a mum to post pictures in her underwear?”

Despite his criticism, Portable admitted Tiwa Savage appeals to him, describing her as a “bad girl” who has maintained her appeal since her younger years.

“E dey enter my eye, make I no lie. The day I met Tiwa Savage and I hugged her, it felt like I hugged a mermaid and was being swept away. But someone should tell her to calm down with the naked outfits.”

In between hysterical laughter, the singer added, “Tiwa Savage, I swear to God, you’re appealing to me. you’ve been bad since you were 19 and you’re still a bad girl at 40, you’re still wearing panties at 40.”

His remarks sparked reactions from social media users, with some slamming him and others expressing their support for his views.

An outraged Instagram user asked, “What level of disrespect is this?”

“I actually don’t think he means any harm. He’s just not emotionally intelligent. So he lacks the methodology to communicate his message appropriately. He’s basically saying Tiwa’s dress sense is becoming ‘fighting temptation’ in a nutshell,” another person wrote.

Another comment read, “He should be shut.up..Tiwa savage is an entertainer…if nicki minaj did the same u would not talk.”

AY Makun, Basketmouth discuss their 17-year feud

By

AY Makun and Basketmouth have made their first public appearance together, marking a new chapter after their 17-year feud.

The rift between the two prominent comedians began in 2006 over unpaid performance fees and intensified in 2022, with both avoiding each other publicly.

In March 2023, AY claimed Basketmouth had yet to pay him for a show he anchored for him. Responding, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.

However, following Basketmouth’s apology in 2023, both comedians have put aside their differences.

In the latest episode of the ‘Glass House with AY‘ podcast, the comedian argued he did not get the money for the show while Basketmouth maintained that he was paid.

AY also shared insights into his prolonged rift with Basketmouth.

“I did not know when the fight started. I just noticed it started. Every day I wake up thinking it is a normal thing, boys will be boys and like that, it grew into several years,” he said.

“Then the third year, it seems like people were spreading more rumours about the feud till it lasted that long. It lasted too long”.

AY emphasised the feud’s impact on younger comedians. “Our feud caused some damages because in a way we were like providers for people,” he said.

Basketmouth added: “Most times people swear allegiance by default. So when we were not on good terms some people made it their business”.

“…A comedian called me to tell me AY reached out to him for a gig and was asking if it was okay to work with AY. I told him it was okay and I was happy it happened because people would know it was okay to work for either of us because it was about more money and opportunities.

“There was a guy who picked a side and came at me. Now that we are cool, he would be confused. It is collaboration over competition.”

Mr P recently released the single ‘Winning’ — a few months after the brothers confirmed that Psquare, their shared music group, no longer exists.

“Just a simple thing, bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why re-singing my own song? word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year June.”

In another post, the singer vowed to release “original versions of any copied songs”, adding that “the days of manipulation are over”.
