Organisers of the annual end of the year charity event designed for showing love to folks from less privileged homes, homes of people with special abilities and correctional centres popularly known as GLOWFUX Charity Concert have announced plans for hosting the 2020 edition of the event.

The event which aims at giving the needy unique feel of the Christmas celebration with varieties of fun ranging from games, Christmas give-aways, performances by entertainment practitioners is scheduled to hold at Labi Oasis Cinema, Labi Oasis B/Stop (Odo eran), Ikorodu Lagos on Boxing day (26th of December 2020) from 12 noon to 5pm.

Giving Love With Fun 4 Xmas (aptly called GLOWFUX Charity Concert) is a unique atmosphere where children of the haves and have-nots hang out together, play and share happiness without any discrimination. It is also an avenue for the general public specially invited as guests to present relief/gift items to the needy homes present there.

According to the organisers, the resolve to host this year’s edition regardless of the global challenge which plagued the year stemmed from the belief that everyone deserves to be happy and thankful to God for seeing the end of year 2020.

An excerpt of the release signed by the Coordinators of the 2020 edition of the project Miss Gift Nweke & Miss Omotoyosi Fadayomi states that “it is our belief that despite the COVID-19 pandemic which has a huge negative effect on global economy, we are not unaware of the plausibility of families and friends coming together to rejoice for seeing the end of the year; albeit the celebration might not be as elaborate as it used to be. Hence, the need not to deprive our friends at less privileged homes, homes of people with special abilities and correctional centres from enjoying the annual gathering became expedient.”

In line with tradition, this year’s edition shall record induction of new GLOWFUX Young Ambassadors to serve as GLOWFUX ambassadors within their immediate communities (Schools, homes, worship/religious centres, etc) to propagate the GLOWFUX vision. GLOWFUX Young Ambassadors are children between ages 5 to 17 who are being given early life exposure to the beauty of caring for others, championing worthy cause and building network of positive minded people.

Also, this year’s edition shall witness another round of GLOWFUX Hall of Charity award presentation.

JUST IN: Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun joins ancestors at 81

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun has joined his ancestors after a brief illness.

He joined his ancestors at the age of 81.

It was gathered that the late monarch was taken to the hospital Wednesday morning having stayed indoor throughout Tuesday on account of slight malaria fever, though, he was hail and hearty on Monday during which he personally received few guests that paid him congratulatory visits on his second year anniversary on that day.

Making this announcement was the Baba-Kekere Olubadan and his younger brother, Dr Kola Balogun in a statement by the Personal Assistant (Media) to the late monarch, Oladele Ogunsola.

According to the statement, Dr. Balogun disclosed that Oba Balogun would be buried at his Aliiwo ancestral home by 4.00pm on Friday according to Islamic rites just as he said that the State Governor Seyi Makinde, though already verbally informed, would be formally notified early in the morning.

The late Olubadan was the first most educated to have emerged as Ibadan monarch, a British trained P.hd holder, a former university lecturer, former member of management staff of Shell British Petroleum, former gubernatorial candidate of the defunct Nigeria People’s Party, NPP, former Senator and a successful business man.

His last official outing was the Olubadan Advisory Council’s meeting which he presided over last Saturday where the decision to derobed Mogaji Akinsola, Olawale Oladoja was taken.

He however, on Tuesday instructed the Ekerin Olubadan, Oba Hamidu Ajibade to midwife a small committee to deliberate on last Friday’s decision on what should be the position of Ibadan Zone in the proposed newly reconstituted Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs.

The decision of the small committee was earlier on Thursday ratified by the Olubadan Advisory Council at a meeting presided over by Otun Olubadan and the former governor of Oyo State, High Chief Rashidi Ladoja and was to be taken to the late Oba Balogun for his signature Friday morning so as to meet the deadline for submission to the state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters later in the day.

The late Olubadan is survived by wives, children and grandchildren.

Announcing the passage of the monarch, Governor Makinde, in a statement, stated that Olubadan, who joined his ancestors late Thursday evening at the University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan, described him as an epitome of royal excellence and a great achiever, who made great marks on Ibadanland in just a little over two years of his reign.

He expressed his condolences to the Olubadan-in-Council, the Oyo State Traditional Council and the people of Ibadanland and Oyo State, praying to God to grant repose to the soul of the deceased monarch.

Makinde said: “With total submission to the will of God, I announce the passing unto glory of our father, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Dr. Mohood Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland.

“A mighty Iroko has fallen; Oba Dr. Balogun has joined the ancestors.

“In Kabiyesi, Ibadanland had a cosmopolitan and well-experienced Olubadan, who made indelible marks on the sands of history and achieved greatly within a short while.

“On behalf of the Government and good People of Oyo State, I condole with the immediate family of the Oba Dr. Balogun, the Olubadan-in-Council, the Oyo State Traditional Council and the people of Ibadanland.

“It is my prayer that God grants repose to the soul of our late monarch.”
