Reviving Agriculture: A Call to Action from the Chief Imam of Ogbomosho Land.
In a recent Ramadan lecture held in Imasayi, Ogun State, Dr. Yinus Ayilara, the Chief Imam of Ogbomosho Land, passionately advocated for a return to farming as a viable solution to Nigeria’s prevailing economic hardship and food insecurity. In his address, themed “Navigating Food Insecurity In Nigeria: Economic And Sustainable Solutions During Ramadan,” Sheikh Ayilara emphasized the importance of agricultural engagement, particularly among the youth, as a means to benefit both individuals and their communities.
Dr. Ayilara lamented the paradox of Nigeria’s abundant mineral resources coexisting alongside widespread poverty, attributing the nation’s challenges to both human sinfulness and negligence within leadership. He called upon Nigerians to seek divine forgiveness and adhere to the ethical guidelines set forth by Allah, emphasizing that societal decay stems from moral lapses and corruption.
Encouraging citizens to embrace farming, the Chief Imam remarked, “To solve this problem, every one of us should go back to the farm.” He articulated a vision where cultivating crops not only alleviates personal hunger but also nourishes the surrounding community. Furthermore, he urged the government to facilitate this agricultural resurgence by creating an environment conducive to farming and mechanization, arguing that subsistence farming alone falls short in addressing the scale of the food crisis.
In support of this initiative, Oba Lukman Kuoye, the Olu of Imasayi Kingdom, reminded attendees of the importance of compassion and community engagement while emphasizing the positive impacts individuals can have in their localities.
As Nigeria grapples with economic challenges, Dr. Ayilara’s call to revive agriculture serves as a timely reminder of the potential for sustainable solutions rooted in faith and collective action. It is a plea not just for personal gain, but for the betterment of society as a whole.

Kanu, through his legal team, expressed gratitude for the decision and reiterated his readiness for trial.

Allegations Surface Against Destiny Etiko: Queeneth Hilbert Accuses Co-Star of Interference.
Recent social media activity has ignited a controversy within the Nigerian film industry. Actress Queeneth Hilbert has publicly accused colleague Destiny Etiko of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with Hilbert’s former boyfriend.
In a video circulating online, Hilbert alleges Etiko’s involvement with her ex-partner, going so far as to threaten physical confrontation should Etiko return to Asaba. The accusations stem from Etiko’s decision to unfollow Hilbert on social media, triggering a response filled with accusations of betrayal and opportunism.
Hilbert further claims that Etiko’s alleged actions are part of a pattern of interfering in the relationships of fellow actresses, targeting men who provide financial support. The veracity of these claims remains unconfirmed, and further developments are anticipated as this situation unfolds. The industry awaits a response from Ms. Etiko.
Popular gospel artist Mercy Chinwo has initiated legal proceedings against social media influencer Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), alleging defamation. The lawsuit, filed on March 3rd, stems from statements VDM made on social media in February, accusing Chinwo of breaching her contract with her former record label, EeZee Tee.
Chinwo claims VDM’s comments, accusing her of diverting funds and violating contractual agreements, are false and damaging to her reputation. Her legal team, led by Pelumi Olajengbesi, argues that VDM, despite lacking direct involvement in the matter, intentionally presented the issue in a way that tarnished the singer’s image.
The lawsuit seeks a court order for VDM to remove the allegedly defamatory posts, issue a retraction and apology across his social media platforms and in national newspapers, and pay ₦1.125 billion in damages and legal fees. This action follows previous accusations by Chinwo against EeZee Tee, citing exploitation and threats. The legal battle underscores the growing intersection of online commentary and legal accountability within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
