It’s often said that it takes a village to raise a child. In Tomisin Ogunnubi case, it took many villages — the village of the Ogunnubi family, the village of Daystar Christian Centre Christian Centre, her many tutors in schools, and the uncles, aunties, and mentors on social media who cheered her on every step of the way. To all the villagers who played a part in her growth and development, this is me, your son returning to say thank you. 🙏🏽 With the deepest humility, and the pride only a father can feel, your girl, Tomisin Ogunnubi, graduated from the Imperial College London (UK) on 8th of October 2025 with a First Class Honours, Masters in Computing (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning). I must specially recognize her mum Yewande Ogunnubi the quiet strength behind this success. While it’s easy to look at the father on a day like this, the truth is that the best-kept secret behind Tomisin’s journey is her mum — her rock, her anchor, her calm. From the 14-year-old who built a safety app that caught the world’s attention, to a young woman now building the future with AI, Tomisin, we are proud of you. May God bless the work of our hands, and may God bless our children. #ProudDad #TomisinOgunnubi #ImperialCollegeLondon #AI #NigeriaToTheWorld

"Recently, a video surfaced of Governor Bala Mohammed blaming the FG for hunger, unemployment etc. He threw a challenge at the President. He said and I quote, 'I’ve heard...some ministers of the FG are saying we've been given 500 and something million. How much did the FG make and what have they done with it?' I wish to take up the challenge and answer Governor Bala's question with a question. Governor, how much have the States made and what have they done with it? - As shared on News Central TV

THE BOY UNDER THE DESK I was that boy. Small-framed. Easy target. In the early 1980s, in a secondary school, bigger boys and seniors who should have known better, decided that my size was an invitation. I was tortured. I was maimed. I was made to crawl under a desk and hold myself in that fetal position for hours. Hours. Nobody called it bullying then. It had a different name - rite of passage. As though surviving cruelty was the qualification for manhood. I survived. I grew. I became. But what nobody tells you about survival is that; the boy under the desk never fully leaves. He sits quietly somewhere inside the man at this table. For years, I carried what happened to me in silence, and suffered bouts of depression because I couldn't tell no soul. Not even my parents. That silence was the real crime. Not just the silence of a frightened boy, but the silence of teachers who saw and looked away. The silence of peers who laughed and said nothing. The silence of a system that confused cruelty with character-building. The silence of a culture that said this is how boys become men. But here is where it gets concerning. The bully didn't disappear when school ended. He graduated. He entered our offices, institutions, and government houses. The boy who learned that size and fear were power, is still performing that lesson, in bigger arenas, and with higher stakes. This is why I am today calling for a dedicated national anti-bullying law that formally defines and recognizes bullying as a harm distinct from general misconduct, mandates every school to have a written anti-bullying policy, creates reporting obligations for school administrators, and establishes consequences for institutional cover-up or negligence. Regulation (under the supervision of the Ministry of Education) must also extend to teacher training institutions. Pre-service and in-service training should include child safeguarding, bullying identification, and intervention methods. A teacher who cannot recognise or respond to bullying is an institutional liability. I might have been that boy under the desk. But I refuse to be that adult that says nothing.

"Accidents don't just happen, they are caused". That was one of the first driving lessons I got from my dad as a teenager. He taught me on the need to "have control" over the vehicle. That the lesser the speed, the more control you have and the higher the speed, the less control you have to manoeuvre the vehicle in case of any emergency. Those words remain engraved in my mind whenever I am driving. Today we mourn two young men who lost their lives in a preventable ghastly motor accident. No matter how you analyse it, whether or not you think the emergency rescue system was good enough, one thing is certain, the accident would not have happened if the driver was not over speeding. This is obvious from the damage to the car and the nature of the injuries to the dead. According to Nigeria’s National Road Traffic Regulations (as enforced by the FRSC), the standard maximum speed limit for cars on expressways (like the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway) is generally 100 km/h under ideal conditions. Taxis and buses are typically limited to around 90 km/h, while heavy vehicles (like tankers/trailers) are limited to lower speeds (≈60 km/h) depending on vehicle type. These regulatory limits are the default for expressways unless otherwise signed or enforced locally. According to the NBS, 5 out of every 10 accidents in Nigeria are caused by overspending. 80% of the casualties are male. If Nigerians just do the minimum by keeping to speed limits, the number of accidents recorded yearly will be reduced by half and maybe, (no scratch that) certainly, we will ensure more men and women make it home alive to their loved ones.

Six Months ago, I launched an appeal for Femi who is battling Colon Cancer. It has been a very long ride but we thank God for where we are now. Femi is doing so much better and we are confident he will beat this cancer. After the initial surgery in May, we waited for the oncologist report to determine the next steps. We consulted with two different oncologist and the conclusions were more or less the same that he must undergo 12 cycles of Chemo at the first instance. We had an initial target of N12m but all in all, we raised in total N9,511,824 and have spent a total of N9,405,829.72. Below is the breakdown of the outflow. 1. Surgery between May 21st and June 1st - N4,270,179 2. Chest CT Scan on the 13th July, 2024 - N122,000 3. Chemo Fitness on the 27th July 2024 - N45,850 4. Blood Transfusion on the 1st August, 2024 - N100,200 5. 1st Chemo Cycle & Admission on the 5th August - N890,993 6. 2nd Chemo cycle & Admission on the 2nd Sept - N831,619 7. 3rd Chemo cycle & Admission on the 23rd Sept - N774,116 8. 4th Chemo cycle & Admission on the 14th Oct - N876,287 9. 5th Chemo cycle & Admission on the 4th Nov - N841,692 10. 6th Chemo cycle - N758,838 (Admission Fee not yet paid) *TOTAL SPENT SO FAR: N9,405,829.72 *TOTAL IN THE BANK: N105,994.28 There are 6 more Chemo cycles to go. Unfortunately, we don't have enough funds to cover them. We have subsequently informed his family about this. If you still feel led to give, please don't hesitate. Kindly go ahead. The account details are below: Acct Number - 4021095864 Bank - Fidelity Bank Account Name: Mercy Akintunde. I end this with a personal thank you video from Femi himself.

Today, the curtains rise on a golden milestone. 50 years of grace. 50 years of strength. 50 years of light. 50 years of resilience. And as your husband, your friend of 37 years, your companion through storms and sunshine, I stand here humbled by one truth - Loving you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. I honour you, deeply, publicly, and proudly. May your next 50 years be softer than your first. May joy find you effortlessly. May peace wrap itself around your days like morning sun. May God multiply your strength where you once carried weight alone. May the seeds you planted bloom into forests of grace. May laughter fall upon you like rain. May heaven reward your secret tears with open testimonies. May God keep you, lift you, enlarge you, satisfy you, and astonish you. You have given so much of yourself to others, may this new season give back to you in overflow. 🙏 Happy 50th Birthday, Yewande Ogunnubi. Here’s to golden years ahead. To more music, more dance, more mischief, more grace, and a love story still being written beautifully. Forever yours, Yinka. 💛 #WendyPendy50For50

"Even the failed political experiments of the IBB era produced parties that had ideological leanings. The NRC was right-wing conservative while the SDP was progressive left-wing. So again I ask, what is the political ideology of the APC, PDP, SDP, NNPP and Labour Party? The truth is that while they operate within a democratic framework, the strict adherence to clearly defined ideologies is at best less pronounced and worse nonexistent. They’re in reality just a special purpose vehicle for the capture of State Power." Watch the full episode on "A Place At The Table" on News Central TV
