You know the common saying “every day for the thief but one day for the owner”. Well I guess you could use that to describe what had just happened as the secretary of people’s democratic party (PDP) and former right hand man to Governor Ayo Fayose in person of Dr. Temitope aluko openly confessed a lot of atrocities committed by himself and various politicians in recent years some of which included:
1) The fact the former president Goodluck Jonathan had a meeting with Governor Ayo Fayose and gave Governor Ayo Fayose 37 million dollars from the national treasury which was used to defeat then governor Dr Kayode Fayemi during his governorship campaign. He said Jonathan initially gave Governor Ayo Fayose $2m in March 2014 for the primary election and that this money was collected at the NNPC towers Abuja. He also quoted “ I have details for all I am saying and I was present when they brought the money, the 35 million dollars which he delivered to Governor Ayo Fayose at Spotless Hotel. “ I can name eight people that were there. We were all there because he said he will want us to take delivery so that there will be transparency and accountability”
2) He also stated the names of other politicians involved in other money scandals during the electioneering process in Ekiti state including Senator Musiliu Obanikoro and also Dr Ifeanyi Ubah ( two previous PDP gubernatorial candidates). Although Dr Ifeanyi Ubah immediately called channels television station all the way from Ghana while the program was on air to deny any accusations brought against.
Things got more interesting as a media representative to Governor Fayose came on air to dis-approve any allegation against the Ekiti state governor and this lead to a heated argument between both parties which I’m sure could have resulted into a fight if not for the intervention of the channels television anchor.
Well what can I say… to be very honest if I were to judge the case of Dr Temitope Aluko I’ll say every testimony he put forward implicating himself and a lot of people stand a good chance of being the truth.
Leaving the sitting room that evening a thought came to my mind and I started wondering if every Nigerian was given an average of one million naira by the government, well aware that some Nigerians would still waste the money it cannot still be compared to the ridiculous amount some of our politicians embezzle for themselves and their family. It’s a sad reality of the country we live in and we can only hope for a better future and take personal actions towards making sure the future is brighter.

On a brighter note, we can't help but talk about the glamorous wedding of the on air presenter, Toolz.
The much anticipated traditional wedding between popular (On-air presenter) OAP Tolu Toolz Oniru and Captain Tunde Demuren which eventually took place on the 30th of January 2016 is definitely the talk of the town right now. The event which took place at prestigious Landmarks Event Centre, Victoria Island Lagos was graced by various Nigerian celebrities including the Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt, Tiwa Savage, Olamide, Obi Asika, Wizkid and so many others.
Popular American (Nigerian born) rapper Wale was also present at the event. Wale was spotted with Wizkid and when approached confirmed that he arrived in Lagos the previous day for a couple of projects and has since been hanging out with his friend Wizkid.
In attendance at the wedding were two paramount rulers in Yorubaland, Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo, the royal highnesses showed up to honor Toolz who is from the Oniru royal family in Lagos.
Tolulope ‘Toolz’ Oniru is current an on-air personality at in one of Nigeria’s top urban radio stations- the Beat 99.9FM. She is an award winning on-air personality and currently hosts her own radio show ‘The Midday Show with toolz’, she is also Deputy Program Director for The Beat 99.9FM. Before trying her hand at radio presenting on the Beat 99.9FM, Toolz gained extensive experience within the British entertainment industry, having worked at MTV Networks Europe for several years before moving on to the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group before she moved to lagos in mid-2008 and eventually auditioned to be a radio presenter at the Beat 99.9FM after a friend mentioned the new radio station to her before she moved to lagos.
Toolz began hosting her own radio show in April 2009 and her blend of natural humour, love of most things showbiz, passion for music and strong African entertainment knowledge makes her show one of the most sought after –by listeners and celebrities alike. She is extremely passionate about Nigerian/African music, and in 2012 she approached the organizers of Nigeria’s biggest music awards ceremony – The Headies (formally known as the Hip Hop World Awards) and successfully introduced a new category called the ‘Rookie Of The Year’ which gives recognition to talented upcoming Nigerian musicians. She has won numerous awards has also anchored and served as a judge in various shows and was listed on YNaija’s 10 most powerful people in media list.
Captain Tunde Demuren on the other hand is a pilot or aero contractor and his father was the former boss of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Dr Harold Segun Demuren. Captain Tunde Demuren is also a graduate of the prestigious Concordia University Montreal which happens to also be the alma-mater of the former prime minister of Dominican Republic in person of Rosie Douglas. He is also an accountant and has two other degrees.
Populer Nigerian artist Bankole Williams aka Banky W is also a best friend to Captain Tunde Demuren and in an exclusive interview with Toolz she revealed that Tunde didn’t ask her out on a date when they first met and that Banky W was responsible for the match making.
As you can guess the traditional wedding at landmark event center in victoria inland was as classy as ever with the exquisite aso-ebi, the marvellous music not to mention the food amongst so many others. One of the major highlights of the events was a performance by Mavin dynasty queen- Tiwa Savage and YBNL solider- Olamide for the couple. The trending wedding has been tagged #Tsquared2016 and would no doubt be a contender for the wedding of the year at the end of 2016.
We’ll what can we say, Yoruba boys may be so many things but they sure do know how to throw a party.
