Development Focus with Jide Ojo on Independent Television (ITV) is a year old having aired the first edition on January 6, 2021. Thus far, we have produced 50 editions only missing two due to my being out of town. I have hosted 88 guests on the show out of which 16 are women. One of the female guests, Dr. (Mrs) Evelyn Hauwa Shekarau unfortunately died later in the year. She was until her death the Chairperson of the Nigeria Bar Association, Unity Branch, Abuja. May her soul rest in peace.

Many thanks to the management and staff of ITV for the great honour to host my own TV show, free of charge, on their media platform. Specifically, I thank the General Manager Mrs. Amber Olague, my producer Evi Egware and the cameramen, Kamorudeen, Ola, Yohanna, Baba Are and Ahmed as well as the Persons Directing (PD) - Sunny, Ekanem, Prince Balogun as well as ICT guru Prince Adeniyi.

I appreciate NTA Language for celebrating me with an award during the 10th Anniversary of the Station on December 9, 2021. I equally thank the management of ITV for finding me worthy of another award last December.

In this new year, I hope to get more women to come on my TV show and more importantly, I look forward to advert and sponsorship of the programme.

Wishing you the best of 2010

Year 2009 will be off in few hours, it’s probably 2010 already in Australia. To you all my fans who have been encouraging me through your constructive and largely positive feedback, I say a big thank you. In 2009, I have many reasons to thank the Lord. In April, I clocked 40 and in October, it dawned on me that it’s been 19 years since my first piece was published in Daily Sketch. Today, the little acorn has grown to a large oak. In 2009, I spread my tentacles wider and added four more platforms to publishing my articles. They are The Nation, Daily Sun, Daily Independent and Next. Two Magazines/Newsletters, Women Advocate and Voters News also sought my permission to publish some of my published articles in their media. On the whole, to date, I have been published by 17 national newspapers and 11 magazines and newsletters. In July 2009, with the influence and inspiration from a friend, Sola Adetunji, I established my own blog from where those who love my writings can now read my views o

Insecurity: Nigerians as endangered specie

-
  Introduction Section 14(2)(b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria says security and welfare of the citizens shall be the primary purpose of government. In 2024, neither of these two are being enjoyed by Nigerians. Compatriots feel unsafe in their own country and as for welfare, it’s a case of what legendary Afrobeat musician, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti call “Suffering and smiling”. Once upon a time, armed robbery, kidnapping and other crimes were largely restricted to the urban centres with many promising to run and hide in their villages from night marauders and criminals. Sadly, nowhere is safe any longer. The grassroot, I mean people in the communities, are facing so much unrest from criminal elements that they are now leaving their ancestral land in droves to seek refuge in towns and cities that have no succour for them. Truth be told, Nigeria is fast sliding to what the great political philosopher, Thomas Hobbes described in his 1651 famous book titled Levia

Jide Ojo, Asorogbayi, at 55

  “ When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. Refrain: Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what God hath done; Count your blessings, name them one by one; And it will surprise you what the Lord   hath done” -         Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. I am not unhappy to be alive. To have lived for fifty-five years on mother earth, especially in a challenging environment like Nigeria calls for celebration. In the last one year since I last celebrated my birthday, a new government has been inaugurated with economic policies that have seen to rising cost of living. My living standard, like those of most of my compatriots, have dropped significantly. I have never borrowed to live as I have had to do recently, no thanks to paucity of consultancy opportunities and high dependency ratio. In
