- The Alake of Egba Land, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to declare July 13th, a national day dedicated to celebrating the contributions of Noble Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, to humanity both nationally and globally.
The foremost playwrite who became the first African to win a Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1986, will turn 90 years old on July 13th.
Speaking at a press conference in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, to herald a series of events lined up to mark the 90th birthday of the Nobel Laureate, the Oba urged the Federal Government to also honour Soyinka with the second highest national honour of Grand Commander of Order of Niger.
He described Soyinka as a global icon, a living legend, a playwright, an actor, a human rights and political activist a hunter and a globally respected elder statesman.
The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun has come under heavy criticism online over the deplorable conditions of roads across the state, with some users online asking the governor to declare a state of emergency on roads in the state.
Some viral videos online showed motorists with their broken down vehicles, while others showed pedestrians hanging on to trees almost half swallowed in the heavily flooded roads.
The South East Governors, on Tuesday, hosted former President, Olusegun Obasanjo who paid the governors a solidarity visit, as they made plans to meet with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to press for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum, Hope Uzodimma while addressing the press, said that plans are in top gear to secure the release of the IPOB leader further stating that the governors also resolved during the meeting, to discuss other issues ranging from security, to economy with the President.
A bill seeking to create a new state, called Etiti State in the south-east, passed first reading at the House of Representatives on Tuesday sparking a debate among the Igbo community and political figures online.
According to the proposed legislation, co-sponsored by three lawmakers from the south-east the new state, will have eleven local government areas.
The lawmakers are proposing to alter the 1999 Constitution to create the state from Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo states.
The debate online includes support for other proposed states such as Anioma, Orlu, and Adada, with arguments focusing on the strategic benefits of each proposal, While some advocate for the integration of communities outside the South East, others question the Igbo identity of certain communities within the proposed states.
Senate president, Godswill Akpabio in his latest address, on Tuesday told Nigerians not to worry about the challenges plaguing the country, stating that nobody would recognise Nigeria again by the time President Bola Ahmed Tinubu completes his tenure in office, in another seven years gifting the President a second term.
Akpabio made the comment during the flag-off of a Bus Terminal in Abuja, adding that Nigerians should only pray for the success of the Tinubu’s administration.
Nollywood actor, Patrick Doyle, has reacted to the Best Gospel- Inspirational Song, Awarded to Tems at the BET awards on Monday.
The singer snagged the award with her 2024 release Me & U, defeating top gospel artistes like Kirk Franklin, Cece Winans, and Erica Campbell to win the category.
Patrick Doyle in a post on Facebook urged gospel musicians to not seek validation from the entertainment industry which he labelled as a mafia while claiming it was in the grip of satan.

We don’t need wole Soyinka day. We need food we are hungry. We need fuel to come down. We need our children to go to schools
We may equally need national flag day😢
Go and work animal
This is annoying, we will soon hit the street.
Nigerian peoples day to…. They want to honor everyone 😂😂😂😂
Which Award did they give Wole Soyinka? I hope it is the Grand Commander of Cultists 🇳🇬 and the inventor of Cultism in Nigeria as that is the only thing Soyinka invented
Honours should be earned by honourable Men. Age is not a factor for honour.
Anyone that wants to celebrate Soyinka can do so but don't impose it on all of us or on the nation.
You took the words right out of my buccal cavity...
We don't need a whole new day to honor wole Soyinka.
There are other better ways
Whoever that is celebrating soyinka's contribution, should also celebrate him for bringing secrets cult into our higher institution
So sad.
Which has taken million of lives for example in edo state more than 100 people have lost their lives due to cult war since January
Akpabio Rubber stamp senate president.. the worse S.P in the history of Nigeria.. very senseless person.
Always abusing your leaders can you even become a senator in your life
You never see the worst one. You are still going to see more of him in the future.
Na all of us dey inside 😅@@kbwalker8741
Lol
Akpabio goes nowhere. Deal with it😂
We in this generation don’t recognize Soyinka the way you do. You win an award in literature means nothing to Nigerians. He’s selective from what we’ve seen. He should have just kept quiet.
That was Soyinka of old.he is now dinning with our oppressors and looters of Nigerias treasuries. He is nolonger with the masses.He is now an Emilokan apologist.
he has given up on nigerians because they are cowards. simple. look at endsars vs kenya; wont you switch sides after all that?
Who’s we?
It's really mindboggling that's really a priority in Nigeria. It's truly sad.
@fumeorji6692 We the oppressed youths of Nigeria
Prof. Wole Soyinka has earned himself a big time honour BUT HE NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE Bats and Rats that destroy character in HIS LAST DAYS.
JÉSÙ L'OLÚWA
Correct guy👍Will they love this truth??
Well said
please help understand something
what has you gain from his existence
He can not. He is part of the establishment
What has he invented to help Nigerians? Cornfessor Wole Soyinka with his ancient English 😎
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 don't mind them😂
Go and ask the americans fools
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cultism 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All you these igbos are just too rude…if you can’t make meaningful contribution to the discourse then keep quiet…
In all his "glories" how much does he really care about good governance and more importantly humanity?
Good question 👍🏾
So I ask
Soyinka is living in the past glory, of resent he has not been doing well for supporting Tinubu,
Akpabio and Wike should remember that it is only God that knows tomorrow, 2027 hmmm.
@@christopherudoh6950 fellow youth do you think our vote will count by 2027?
@user-uv7bx8py9g Yes, the youth should not be intimidated by those criminals.
Thank you Rufai, no one recognizes and knows Nigeria again. Can one imagine someone called senate president talking like a boy.
Wole Soyinka day for what, honor him in your village nothing concern me and him. He is an icon, and so is many others that have been forgotten.
@@mcsloo spot on.
Rufia comments are always on point
Ojy deliberately didn't ask for Rufai's thoughts on the Soyinka Public holiday.
Studio for catch fire. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You saw what I saw😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
As in eeh. She is so smart
Let him donate his throne to Soyinka
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 your violence is too much.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are not nice at all.
Lol
Soyinka does not have a nationalistic disposition.
well, "I dont't care how much you know, until I know how much you care"...
Very powerful statement.
Exactly
Who made this statement sir?
Let them start it with his state.
you will be given your Ndigbo republic soon
That means they automatically win 2027 election,they don't care weather Nigerians vote them or not.So it remains for Nigerians to wake up these leaders are not with them at all😂😂😂
They are not leaders, they are politicians, leaders think about the betterment of their society today and tomorrow while politicians are after the next election or selection.
Wole Soyinka is under character Review.
Abati the Alake does not have the support of so many Nigerians, he is not the only one that has done Nigeria proud. Let ogun state honour him. A road has been named after him...hypocrisy by the Alake
Hipocracy by your stupid kings in your land
The first African to win a Nobel Prize was Albert Luthuli, a South African leader and president of the African National Congress (ANC). He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1960 for his role in the non-violent struggle against apartheid in South Africa.
Dr. Abati’s intro is epic 😂😂😂😂
That word "good morning viewers" makes me blush ....thanks ojy ❤
Shame to Soyinka at his 90yrs of age Nigeria is still living in poverty
Ah ah, did he create Nigeria or has he ever been in power, or has he been a politician at any one time…or is he the cbn governor 😂😂😂?
@@natyak5641, Hejs even worse than a politician
You funny sha 😂😂
I tire ooo
@@natyak5641he is a politician by serious association 😂😂😂😂😂
Father of Cultism also 🎉
Akpabia is absolutely correct.Nobody would recognize Nigeria again.
What is Wole Soyinka's response to this flood, i am waiting to hear.
It's the Obedients that are causing the flood, Peter Obi should talk to all of them to stop misbehaving😂😂😂
Akpabio is very correct. Even today, do nigerians know themselves? Hunger don blind everybody's eye finish 😂
wole soyinka day isn't what we need now people are dying for hunger we're facing high cost of living in this country this oba are talking about wole soyinka day it's big shame
Soyinka should pack one-sided he's talking nonsense nowadays
We dont need more state we only need efficient and effective governance. Creating more state is never for the interest of the people but for the satisfaction of politicians. The ones available dont have light, road,water, food,job,hospitals,homes etc and you want to add more. PERIOD!
ACHIEVE MORE
Thank you
The best comedian of the year is akpabio
I support the creation of Anioma state. I don't support Orlu state, neither do I support Etiti state. I am from Abia state.
I support Anioma State . I am from Anambra State.
I support Anioma state am from Imo state
What will say to a man who is a senate President instead of being in Kuje correctional centre. I Tinubu send a bill to amend the constitution for third term, he will pass it
Akpabio is but a child upstairs. He doesn't think before he speaks. 🤡
I agree 😂
In other climes you don't see presidents & govs cutting tapes to commission projects as when the supervising agencies certify a project as well done it is immediately put to use.
It's another method of looting!
Dr. Abati, this introduction of yours to Ojineka is epic!!!
Joining us now is ojynika OJY OKPEeeee 😂😂😅 Dr Abati sir" this particular intro of sister OJY will remain one of the logo of AriseTV as our children grows 😅
I love that intro.
We all do! 😅@@princessfelicia1460
Very unique
Always gracefully our beloved Mrs Joy Okpe, nice to have you back ma'am
There should be a Television station going around all those states to ask all those governors to make an account of all they've done during their tenure.
Arise, the best tv station in Africa with this particular program "what is trending".
This honouring of Soyinka is from Tinubu. From road naming to this now. We still haven't heard of Soyinka after one year
Dollars have silenced him
I love the way Dr. Akpati always introduces Ojineka😂
*Agbati 😊
This Apkabio go sweet to flog well well.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 guy you dey funny o
😂😂😂😂😢😮
First to comment. Super analysis. My day is incomplete without what's trending!!!
I have more respect for chinua achibe
I hate to hear this nonsense they say, ITS A FEDERAL ROAD like the roads are in Gabon.
This is why it's only one Orjy Okpeeeeeeeee @ what's trending. The vibe, rhythm, vowulence and wowulence are always epic, and most especially when you have Dr. Abati and Rufai in the house, it always a bang.
Ojy's radiance always is exceptional
I like the way kept mute regarding the Wole Soyinka Nonsense
Wow Jinny looking so nice, she getting better like wine vintage
What we want is region with true federalism and not additional states. Is all because of sharing of resources that is why some are clamouring for states. If we move to resource control then you will see that a lot of this states will collapse
If Nigeria was working, Akpabio would be in kuje presiding over their legislative arms
welcome back my favorite OjyOkpe, I really missed you personally OjyOkpe
Rufai my Man, u're on point Sir!
Ojy I missed you so much because of your absence I was not watching arise news anymore welcome back
If Dr. Abati cannot ask Prof. Wole Soyinka for implications, then he should provide the implications himself for Ojy
We the 9-5 community certainly won't mind an extra public holiday, but that's the only thing we'd be remarking.
Just being a laureate isn't all that noble, Mr. 90. There's more to do!
Love your gown Ojy Okpe, my everyday favourite.
The Nigeria youth will rise up one day .
Once they go into farming, they've risen
@@wellswaterllc-ji7nl Is every youth in Nigeria going to be a Farmer..?
Dr Abati is now super excited because Ojy is back
His the father of his people but not my nation. Rubbish!!!
he's the father of his children and his supporters, leave the rest of us out of it!!
@@testingoyay4648 exactly my sentiments.
I wonder ooo as if I don't know my father, a cultist can not be my father
Dapo Abiodun should also rememeber us in Mowe Ogun State. No road in Ogun state is even good
Someone who won nobel laureate when every writer boycotted it that year😂
Akpabio gifts Tinubu a 2nd term?
Many Nigerians must be off their rockers for allowing such people to be their leaders...
For your information, Tinibu is going to have another term come 2027. The question is, do you have the capacity and political strategy to upset that? It is not just talking on social media!
Akpabio is working so hard to retain the senate president seat for second term. I'm sure Oshiomole will snatch it.
Indeed Nigeria🇳🇬 is already loosing recognition.... So our Senator was right. 😂😂😂😂
Hmmm. To say the roads in many parts of Ogun State are deplorable is an understatement.
The point in Nigeria's state creation is that the South East has the least number of states. So, for the sake of equity and fairness, SE need one more to close ranks with other zones and finally expunge the feeling of marginalisation which the Igbos have felt since the war ended. Why not dissolve the state structure and go back to the present six regions or post-Independent four regions? The South East receive the lowest cumulative FAC allocation of all the geopolitical zones. If equity is the basis for Nigeria's Federal Character and existence, then SE needs one more state. There is no justification for the argument about landmass because Lagos is not the biggest in terms of landmass. Also, there is a country in West Africa known as The Gambia. The fact about its landmass and size of population did not stop the colonial masters from giving it the status of an independent nation state.
Good governance is all we need for now.
Akpabio! Not for the love of Nigeria or Tinubu but himself!
Why not call him Nigeria
Name Nigeria after Soyinka.... infact I support it!!
What a nation
The masses are hungry abeg...that's what is trending ooooo
Sometimes I wonder if Nigeria still have leaders
A bigger Protest is coming up before December if nothing is being done about d hardship in Nigerian it going to be END Nigerian 👌
God bless you Rufai
Welcome back Ojy Okpe, the beautiful and amazing journalist, Kudos to Dr. Abati the very intelligent and calm journalist. We missed our very cute Ayo only unbiased journalist pastor of Arise T. V
Thumbs 👍 up for you guys.
Congrats to professor Wole Soyinka. You will forever be recognized, if you are recognized outside Nigeria why not here in your own country. Black Nigerians with black heart doesn't appreciate or knows the value of what they have, their only achievement is to bring one down and start pointing accusing fingers denying as if they are not the one that did it.
You brought Dele Giwa down, Where is Abiola, Awolowo was brought down, where is Bola I've and the rest from East and North.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. God bless me and my family.
The name Nigetia should be changed to Wole Soyinka without any delay .HE IS THE BEST MAN IN NIGERIA . He taught a great DR called Reuben Abatti.
Great analysis as always ❤
After funds are diverted,flooding will show up !
Akpabioooooo😂 we no know Nigeria again 😂
Akpabio drinks burukutu each time he wants to talk to the public
And he also joins Wike to drink Ogogoro..😂
Mr. Rufai thank you this, Nigeria we yesterday is Nigeria we know today as a result of economic hardship
Wow! They want to award him for being a great party man. That's great.
Akpabio is a mad man i swear
😂😂😂, pass me that loud wey akpabio dey smoke. I will like to be on that Highness.
The only Nobel Laureate from Nigeria & one out of the six from the continent of Africa.
The two women are the best in the world ❤
What is the good news in Tems song?
We should not confuse road fixing with Flooding.
Let us address issues as they are... The Government should address the issue on Flooding which is the issue here and not road fix
#Road vs Flood
Super Rufia
I think Anioma makes more sense to be added to the SE.
How dare this oba asking for national day for the founder of cultism in Nigeria
Another award for bigotry awaiting Wole soyinka 😂
Well done guys .🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jagaban will create State, Guinness book of record awaits Us
6:38pm Nigeria would have been so battered economically, politically, socially that the hitherto tiny fabric holding us together as a people would have snapped.
It is important to recognize and celebrate writers who choose to write in their native languages, such as D. O. Fágúnwà and others, as they play a vital role in preserving linguistic diversity, cultural heritage, and authentic storytelling. Writing in one's native language allows for a deeper connection to one's roots, traditions, and identity, enabling writers to convey emotions and experiences with nuance and richness that may be lost in translation.
By celebrating writers in their native languages, the diverse voices, perspectives, and traditions that make up the fabric of our society will be honoured. These writers serve as custodians of their languages and cultures, ensuring that traditional knowledge, stories, and values are passed down through generations.
Recognizing and celebrating writers who choose to write in their native languages is a way to showcase the richness and depth of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. Their contributions to literature are invaluable and deserving of appreciation, encouragement, and amplification in order to uphold the importance of indigenous languages and storytelling in our global literary community.
I have a feeling that if you peer into Akpobio's brainbox you'll see a lump of fufu instead of brain matter.
