AYE O LO BI OPA IBON



AYE O LO BI OPA IBON

My father used to say "Omomi Aye o lo bi opa ibon",
The greedy poliTHIEFcians, they want it all.
Holding on to power for too long,
Draining the nation's wealth, making it fall.

Scheming and plotting in their seats of power,
Craving for control, never tiring.
Luring and tricking with empty words,
Leading the nations astray with their swords.

Building their empires of corruption with lies,
Looting the resources with no disguise.
While the people groan, suffering and poor,
Enjoying their riches, their hearts so sour.

No matter the language, the story is the same,
poliTHIEFcians driven by their thirst for fame.
From north to south, sitting on their throne,
Turning a deaf ear to the oppressed, who moan?

Oh, how they desire the treasures of the earth,
Grasping it firmly in their greedy girth.
Sucking the life out of the nation's core,
Leaving behind misery and pain galore.

But we, the people, will stand and resist,
Shattering their bonds, ending their mist.
For justice and freedom, we'll take a stand,
In unity, we'll recover our plundered land.

Aye o lo bi opa ibon,
Revealing their greed, making it known.
With solidarity and courage, breaking their curse,
And saying goodbye to their rule of worse.

Sounding the horn of freedom to the downtrodden,
Rising against those who have misbegotten.
For a better tomorrow, working and hoping,
And dispelling the shadows of their scope.

Kwara State Polytechnic Mass Communication Graduate Emerges Best Fellow at the 2024 Young Communication Fellowship

As I read about Mosunmola Esther Ajibade’s recent achievement, lines from the Kwara State Polytechnic anthem echoed in my mind. The anthem is more than a song; it captures the heart of the institution’s mission: "Our Citadel Of Excellence, Great Minds Have Come Out Of Thee. Our Blessed POLYTECHNIC That Nurtures Talents, Fulfills Dreams, Destinies, Hopes And Aspirations. We Love You For You Are The Haven Of Bright Mind With Great Ideas. Your Products Are Found Everywhere, KWARAPOLY, Your Praises We Sing." These lines perfectly tells the story of Mosunmola. A graduate of the Mass Communication Department, she has excelled across various fields as a voiceover artist, OAP, red carpet host, and writer. Her latest feat as the best fellow at the 2024 Young Communication Fellowship, organized by PR Nigeria in partnership with Image Marketer Promotion (IMP), adds another feather to her cap. Mosunmola entered the fellowship as an alternative candidate but emerged as the bes...

Corps Member Tackles Unemployment in Gombe with Fish Farming Training

A bold new project aimed at transforming the lives of 100 young people in Gombe is underway, as Ishaq Abdullahi Shehu, a dedicated National Youth Service Corps member from Kano State, turns his agricultural expertise into a community development program. The initiative focuses on modern fish farming techniques designed to combat youth unemployment and boost local food production. Ishaq, a graduate of agriculture from Kano University of Science and Technology Wudil with specializations in forestry, fisheries, and wildlife, is committed to changing the perception of farming. “Agriculture must be seen as a viable business, not just a way of life,” he explains. His program centers on the innovative Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS), a method that recycles water through mechanical and biological filtration to allow for high-density, sustainable fish farming while minimizing the use of land and water. Gombe, like many parts of Nigeria, is grappling with the dual challenges o...
