- The governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, announced a N5bn pledge, towards the construction of a permanent site for the National Youth Service Corps Orientation Camp in the state.
The governor made the pledge, during his address as the special guest of honour at the NYSC Passing-Out Parade- Closing Ceremony, for the 2024 Batch B Stream I Corps Members.
The Governor also announced a sum of N100 million Naira for the NYSC support staff and a farewell gift of N100,000 Naira for each NYSC member departing camp.
Sanwo-Olu hosted a dinner at the State House to honour Noble Laurette Professor Wole Soyinka, on his 90th birthday.
During the dinner, Sanwo-Olu unveiled a special portrait of the renowned playwright.
Sharing photos from the event on X, The governor thanked Professor Soyinka, for showing through resilience, creativity, and dedication, that Nigerians can achieve greatness, adding that his Nobel Prize win many years ago opened the door for many to dream and believe that greatness is achievable.
The Nobel laureate, has opened up about the 1965 incident where he was reported to have broken into the Western Nigeria Broadcasting Service studio to broadcast a demand for the cancellation of the Western Nigeria Regional Elections, saying, that he never broke into the radio station but sneaked in, because the radio station was holding on to something that belonged to the people.
Wole Soyinka made the comment from his residence, in Abeokuta, on Monday, while answering questions from students on his life experiences for the past 90 years,
The playwright also stated, that he did not envisage living up to 90, adding that his Unfulfilled Dream Is To Visit Space.
Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde has declared that the Federal Government is not superior to states, in the exercise of each other’s constitutional roles.
Makinde made the comment in Ibadan, at an emergency consultative meeting with stakeholders on Monday to appraise last week’s judgement of the Supreme Court which granted financial autonomy to local government areas across the nation.
Meanwhile, a clip of the 2023 gubernatorial debate, where the governor stated that he would not endorse Local Government Autonomy in Oyo state has resurfaced online.
The Niger State Government has issued a statement, to clarify a viral video showing the state Governor, Umar Bago ordering security personnel to slap a man who identified himself as a cleric, during a funeral prayer for the late wife of his deputy.
According to the Special Adviser to the governor on Print Media; the man in question was an impostor cleric who attempted to assume the role of an Imam during the Fidua prayers, adding that the individual has since apologized to the governor and the forum of Imams for his misconduct.
In the wake of Anti-government protests in Kenya, which began in June, in response to a bill, seeking to increase taxes, a clip from a debate on Tax Cuts for African countries on NBC’s television series ‘The West Wing’, has made the rounds on social media.
Alan Alda who plays the role of the republican nominee for the 2006 Presidential election, argued, that high taxes have killed any possibility of economic development in African countries.

Bless you Sanwo olu for putting a smile of those corpers
The foolish governor is deceiving you. He knows what's coming up.
Rufi Rufi , you are doing well. Well balanced comment on the achievement of Soyinka and his failure to speak true to power at a time the people needed it.
Wole Soyinka is rewriting the true history of Nigeria that took place in the very eyes of many Nigerians both living and dead.
The fight by Wole Soyinka by sneaking into the radio station is similar to that which the present generation is fighting against. Wole Soyinka must apologize and support the fight by the present generation against bad government.
You are silly. Wole Soyinka should apologize to who? Wole Soyinka is not a bigotry like you brainless igbos. Igbos are not fighting for national interest they are fighting for presidency and believed Obi must sworn in even when he was defeated with facts and figures.
I we don't have abounch of Rufais in Nigeria, we'll not see change. Rufai, we pray for your protection.
Wole Soyinka is now a regional hero unlike before wen he was a national hero calling a spade a spade nd speaking truth to power he has not yet spoken abt de suffering of Nigerians
An African hero too.
His real character is only coming to the fore.A hypocrite.Nigeria has no real heroes.
Regional hero,dis one enter ooo
@@alliseundeluded 😂😂😂😂😂
Protect Rufai at all costs! He is a national treasure.
Lead the way sir 😊
Lead the way sir 😊
My best programme on Arise TV. Variety of subjects are discussed from around the world with so much depth and intelligence by the crew. Well done, guys.
Bribe to NYSC.. the fear of protest
Mumu
Protest must hold no matter the bribe
@@ibrahimahmedolawale6500 Suffering and smiling slave.. Aboki.
Dey play ...
Hold am for your papa village sha cos we lagosian say no to protest @@gudenofjames8026
There is nothing like drawing eternal inspiration from Prof. Wole Soyinka. He is not God. We draw eternal inspiration only from God Almighty
Yet, he’s calling Nigerian youth doing same thing in more peaceful way fascists
Honestly that Corn-fessor Agbado Wayo Soyinka is confused
I support Makinde 100% is the federal government obeying the court judgement.
you need brain surgery
What are U supporting o? U are supporting a governor saying he will not obey supreme court judgement, ok o. Continue people that have stolen all resources keep supporting them
@martinolusanya6370 Is not Tinubu innocent?
Rufai thank you very much
You always say the truth fearlessly
Did I hear Abatti say Wole soyinka had to do wat he did to get Justice for the people? Hope we can also do wat we need to do to get Justice.
Is up to your generation to do same
Exactly!! Please go ahead.
@@oboraoyama6255And he is now a coward who can't even cough to power 😂😂😂
Abatti is korrupt brown envelope journalist they should deploy him back to Emilokan TVC NEWS
I've been looking forward to listening to Jiniks Okpeèeee.
Arise TV's Best team 👌
Baba Soyinka's failure to speak truth to power shows he's a human being... I wish he could prove himself with the recent happenings around us, esp the election, tribal and human rights.
You can celebrate this man as much as you want, but the social media age has really shown Wole Soyinka’s selective amnesia. It’s interesting how the digital era can reveal contradictions in even the most respected figures.
Prof. Soyinka 😅 wants to go to space at a time when Nigeria is planning to go to space...#smiles
My thoughts as well
Happy birthday to father and grandfather professor Wole Soyinka, may God Almighty continue to bless and protect you, amen
We continue to pray for better country :
Not religious or tribal sentiments in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Hausa+Igbo+Yoruba=unity✅🇳🇬
Tribalism end in nigeria hmm
Nigeria cannot launch anything, I study aerospace engineering and narsda is not doing anything. They need people like us to reform the thinking, but instead of them patronizing the skills, they choose based on politics.
Government is not also in support of anything related to space, since it’s not generating income for the nation. There are alot of things people like me can build, imagine Nigerian government buying drones from china, where we at kwara state university have 3d printers that can print those item and we can coupled it at a lesser price. That’s the country we found ourselves. We don’t prioritize our own flesh.
we have been taught well in school and we will be happy to use the skills to the benefit of our dear country.
God bless Nigeria
Thanks to the Arise Good Morning Show Crew
Why do our leaders dislike projects that will endure? why prefer sharing of rice than subsidizing it. Why prefer to give 100k to corp members than providing enduring job opportunities?
Rufai single handedly carrying this show
Stop glazing. They're all equally carrying the show.
The West Wing is one of the finest TV shows to ever be on Television. I highly recommend it.
Sneaked in, broke in,who de do us.Anyway, Great men are not always WISE, neither do the AGED UNDERSTAND JUDGEMENT Job 32:9
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾
If people like APC and Soyinka were alive in biblical times, they would never have allowed the truth of the bible to be written.
They would have used propaganda to cover any negative or mistake. They would have said King David didn't sin to collect Bathsheba, but he rescued her from her wicked husband Uriah! They would have said King Ahab built Jerusalem, and that prophet Elijah was wicked, jealous opposition leader. That is why he was preaching against Ahab. And of course their own version of Judas was not a betrayer, but was a rich accountant who fell and died because he was carrying heavy silver coins to give to the poor as palliative.
They will remix history and pretend as if nobody in power is capable of making mistakes or doing evil!
@@gunnerarshavin2009😂😂😂😂😂
Wole Soyinka tried for democracy however his angle or behaviour towards Peter obi is very very wrong and not expected of an intellectual icon like him
His opinion and like any citizen, he is entitled to one.
But we all know that opinions are not FACTS. That he said it does mean his opinion about Obi is true.
@@angelicakweku5293calling people doing more peacefully something he once did in violent manner fascists is wrong
@@ekwosamuel4649I agree very wrong
Let's know when una received the alert ooo! I no wan hear make any of una cry ooo!😅😂😂
This 100k money promised by Sanwo-Olu to the outgoing Corps members can in a twinkle of an eye become Audio money. Them nor dey trust politicians
Wole Soyinka is a great man a hero who buried his glory and greatness in 2023.
Whether he broked in or sneaked in, it is down to one same fact: "HE TOOK ACCESS INTO HIS OWN HANDS" with a gun in his pocket.
Soyinka has always been a "gbajue" man!
I like Rufai’s analysis it’s always balanced. I love it 😊
Thank you guys 🙏🙏🙏🙏
A tribalist to the bone. Nigeria 🇳🇬 always celebrate 🍾 people who speak with both sides of their mouth. Count me out.
Same tribalist that got jailed over Ojukwu so called Eastern Region in the name of Biafra over Oil Boom...😂😂😂
Just like obi
Kudos Prof, God is already dressing you up with the eternal life jacket of age and the silverish helmet of Cicero to visit space . Papa wishing you 100 more years.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Greetings team ojy
Wole Soyinka had played his role in Nigeria to his best ability. Now he's @ his 90s, pls let him rest & enjoy his rest yrs with Grace.
Arise News critics will not commend them now for saying something good about Lagos state government. They only come out when Arise talks about their shortcomings. This is why Arise remain the most ballance and honest media House in the country. May God continue to strengthen every member of the Arise team.
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬
Arise should talk about your state, we don't need their hypocrisy praises of Lagos state. Lagos stand tall above all
@@ibrahimahmedolawale6500if we check you now, we'll discover you're not a Lagos indigene but from Ogun, Ekiti, Oyo...state, bragging about a glorified ghetto like Lagos🙄?
@@djfrankwhyt5860That's the home of his people. He doesn't have to be an Indigene. He's Yoruba. Simple. Nigeria created artificial states. When political administration was regional, it was just the Western region which grouped the Yoruba together. This is quite straightforward.
@@djfrankwhyt5860He's Yoruba and that's what matters. He doesn't have to be an "Indigene".
Wole Soyinka has a great history! but keeping quiet when Nigeria is at it lowest, shows he doesn't believe in one Nigeria.
He resolved to tribalism when Nigeria needed him the most.
Thank you
God will continue to bless you, Dr. Rufai, well said 👏
Wike have befitting orientation camp to youth corps in rivers state over 5yrs ago
The records are there. No matter how they try to spin the truth, it remains the truth.
Rufai u will leave long for us fearless rufiaonfire
😂😂😂😂😂😂If only he can say wat happen during di end sars😢😢😢
I served in Lagos State, Iyana Ipaja, I won #50k from KC Limpopo...2019 BATCH A and #20k from the second artiste...Lagos is the way the truth and the path...Kudos!!! to all the Passing Out Corp member
That's part of the money Tinumbu told them to start distributing to the public in order to quiet the agitators. Anyway there is nothing stopping Democratic Republic of Yoruba from exiting.
Is this harsh economy affecting the Yorubas too?
@@princessfelicia1460 Who is this harsh economy not affecting unless if we want to deceive ourself.
Are you seeing what I'm seeing...! Ojynika "laugh & smile" trending around the world...😂! Who wouldn't like to have a good working and enabling environment disseminating information, laughing and smiling like Ojynika.
Kudos jyniks! Your appearance always represents joy which consoles hungry Nigerians across board.
Do we have laws in Nigeria?When last do we have FG obey her own laws ?Yeye dey smell.
We don't need your money but we need work
Wike put up the best NYSC permanent camp in Nigeria. Lagos is following behind Rivers State.
Liar, I did my camping there. The best camp is in Kaduna seconded by jos
@@Comdrterversonnenjames
The same Kaduna I'm right now or another one 😅?
There's nothing that we will not see in this country. Is this governor of Oyo State normal at all.
BENEFICIAL OF GOD' S UNCOMMON GRACE.
HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS PROF.
High taxes prevents poor countries from economic growth and yet these countries are made subject to high taxes.
@Dr Abati. ‘If you’re not okay with the supreme court ruling. You can only appeal to God.’😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I met Wole SOyinka once at the airport in Chicago...needless to say,I was so excited to met him that I prostrated to greet him in front of everybody to greet him...
Bro,
So?
Bro SO..?
Tinubu enjoyed his use of LG plus Wike and now because of FUBARA a president of Nigeria went to court because of greedy Wike.
SANWO OLU IS BY A WIDE MARGIN THE BEST GOVERNOR EVER IN NIGERIA ..NEXT PRESIDENT FAR FAR AHEAD OF PETER OBI
Mtchewwwwww
Good reward to all NYSC. Anyway, the governor had just taken some kukuye!!!!
Wole Soyinka should look for infants he can tell those lies. Where is his criticism of Tinubu, steal it and run with it?
If you disagree with what the supreme court has said you can only appeal to God wow 😱😱 Dr Reuben Abati i so much love you 🫡🫡🫡 Arise TV will miss you anytime anyday
Prof Wole Soyinka is an idol
“A gruesome economic depression “
ACHIEVE MORE
Your comment on Wole Soyinka is top notch, Rufai. You always says it the way it is. Soyinka did what he had to do at the time- standing tall for justice. Hence he begs the question with his contrasting/ controversial in 2023 elections
Accountability must be at the heart of institutions, firms, and companies and public services and governance defined to serve and benefit us all - high taxes in Africa is an issue we must address 🧠
It is great that the Lagos State Government is going to raise the standards of the NYS Camp. I believe it will serve as an impetus to other states. I had nice experience during my NYSC. It was my first time ever interacting with Nigerian adolescents from the South East and the North. I treasured the diversity of the Nigerian people 😢😢😢missing texts
Nice one, u did well #governor of Lagos state
Is this money coming from his pocket Nigeria are you thinking
Great 👍 analysis Arise crew.
What precisely is this gift to these corpers for. These monies must go out into a befitting education system. An integrated orientation camp must be appropriated into the education system .
Let's stop all these
shenanigans.
What is the shenanigans there? In 2000 i served in Cross River and Donald Duke who was governor then gave each corp member 20/30k. I cant remember clearly, we all were happy. 100k today is equivalent of 20/30k then so what’s the shenanigan. Lagos won’t be the first to do it and certainly won’t be the last
Prof. Soyinka's dream could have been realized if Nigeria was not so corrupt. Only countries with strong institutions, meritocracy and financial accountability can embark on a space program. You can't do nepotism for the human resources it requires.
I respect your take on the Lagos State governor’s flamboyant give away of the people’s money. No governor should be able to do that but they all do it. State fund should not be dished out as the governor wishes. That is the genesis of corruption in Nigeria.
Still dey are telling us to hv patience
Prof. Wole Soyinka! 100%
Tribalistic cultis ole sue nika
Wole Soyinka broke into the radio station with gun during era of regional government.The prof is now a shadow of his principles which he stood for in his prime days. Failing to criticize this present govt because of what he gaine from Tinubu in the past.
You too go and break into a radio station and fight for freedom.
The man is 90. He has lived his life.
The Legacy Of A Man Is Who He Was At The Time Of Living.
This Was Not The Prof Wole Soyinka We Used To Know At 60s, 70s & 80s.
POVERTY IS A SIN!
Please Don't Insult.
True talk
As a student of English Language and someone who read his books & life history... I hate to say it but I have to say it, #am really disappointed at who and what Prof Soyinka has become. It's so sad😢 that a man who has traveled the world could at his old age become a servant sycophant and bigoted tribalistic fueling hatred and division. Thankfully he keeps digging his leg in the mud. He did what he did for Justice and yet expects Nigerians to sit by and clap👏 for injustice, hunger, oppression, corruption, stealing, insecurity, voter suppression, election rigging, etc etc
He did not break in but sneaked in . What
We also remember soyinka's contribution towards bringing cultism into Nigeria institutions
😊
Knowingly twisting the truth is being dumb.
❤
Where's the money coming from?
Jargaban is older than Wola
🎉❤
It's just unfortunate that a man that suppose to be an epitome of patriotism has turned out to be a regional champion, promoting ethnic jingoism at his twilight.
History will not be kind to him!
Rufia I like that way you balance the matter of Prof. Soyinka 🥱
I have not heard Soyinka speak about Tinunbu administration. This is tribal sentiment in display.
During Buhari administration Soyinka always have something to say.
Yes I noticed it, that’s not fair at all
It’s a shame that in the evening part of his life, he decided not to say the truth. Such old insincere person should not be celebrated!!! Rubbish!!!
Wait till you get old. Old age tempers you. Soyinka fought his good fight at a young age, what are you doing? Waiting on him to speak truth to power for you? Fight your good fight too.
@@ayomideolabode6741 if he had no truth left in him in his old age he should do us a favor by keeping quiet. Old age doesn’t make one become untruthful ok. Worry less about my contribution but more about your lack of simple intelligence. Bless your heart.
@@Iphie24 When you get older, the view of the road changes, you see things differently. He spoke what he believed to be his own truth. It doesn't become an "untruth" because you don't agree with it. Or does it? Objectively, I believe that if we disagree with his truth, we shouldn't denigrate him. It breaks my heart to see him so treated, no one would be happy to have our fathers treated as such. Bless you too.
@@ayomideolabode6741 my dearest dad spoke the truth till he passed. My father stood for the truth till the very end of his life on earth. The truth of the realities in the Nigerian state is objective and not subjected to personal perception. The way he’s perceived these days can break your heart like you stated but it will never change the fact that he has became objectively insincere in the evening part of his life. A time when he’s supposed to be bolder in being completely be truthful. He doesn’t deserve to be celebrated.
shut up you plebs always talk rubbish.
They have closed Soyinka mouth he cannot say anymore
My respect to rufai
This is good
Whether Wole Soyinka sneaked in or broke in, he entered as a trespasser. Whether he had a good reason is another matter. It is good that our heroes are celebrated. We may not agree with them always.
Arise Rivers state has a permanent site which is befitting for youth corp members
Nice one Lagos governor 🎉
If people like APC and Soyinka were alive in biblical times, they would never have allowed the truth of the bible to be written.

They will remix history with propaganda and pretend as if nobody in power is capable of making mistakes or doing evil!
The last story concerning high tax rate/multiple taxes in African countries including Nigeria is contributing to poor economic development in the continent
Good of you Sanwoolu.
Pls what is a 100k? Why do we keep acting like our citizens don't deserve a better like. And because they have been so used to poverty, they are praising him for the money that can't feed them for a month
now lagos want to introduce tax on housing
This makinde is just a funny dude! You want those LG money to be pocketed. Ole
Celebrating Wole Sonyinka who is a cultists.. Nigeria is dead country.
Now the truth has come out why Nigeria is talking participating in going to space.
A great man indeed but what an irony of how life can at a time where he was supposed to stand tall in the last election but he flopped and played the devils advocate, but we have forgiven him and we pray God to keep him more in good health.
lagos is not showing any example...
i guess those people will not still collect the 100k😅😅😅😅. rivers state camp still remains the best of all and very enjoyable to go to.
It will not be well with your papa.
Prof Wole Soyinka did well earlier, but messed up later
Simple.. dats just how to describe the man.. Let's just say No man is perfect tho.. buh he can still retrace in steps tho.
Whether he broke in or sneaked in all we know was there was a “IN” there was a “Wole Shoyinka” there was a “radio station” there was a “gun”.
