Jonathan Olakunle Olanlokun sees his activism as the legacy of his late parents’ foster grandmother humanitarian work. Having grown up as an orphan and delved into street life from an early age, he’s always wanted to carry on the reputation of his family by helping as much as he could. He began dabbling with various aspects of social impact through volunteerism, and raising awareness about poverty until he understood the connection between a clean environment and social change.  Having noticed a certain discrepancy between the nice cities and regions portrayed in movies, news stories, and documentaries featuring the West, Jonathan began to ask himself “Why can’t our society be like this?” (Personal communication). He began therefore to talk about the environment and urge communities to keep it clean. One of his first mediated events was a staged picture of him throwing waste out of a moving minivan. He has called a photographer and tasked him to capture the moment when he r

There would have been a barrage  of activities, sports competitions, colloquium, music, dance, the nation’s flag flying at half mast and the media awash with paid for in memorial adverts all in his memory. But Rear Admiral Alabi was never a politician. He was a detribalised Nigerian, a naval  officer, a visionary, a community leader, a philanthropist, a change agent who in his lifetime did more for humanity than several politicians in the country lumped together. And sadly, ten years after his very painful death on May 17, 2008 at 58 years, not one event was organised in his memory, in spite of his multitudinous contributions to nation building. There was a remembrance service on S

The security man that once banished me away from this prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites Victoria Island Lagos because he just hate seeing me attending free seminars, conferences etc was still the one that was posted to secure the event hall that I rented for #baef's 2016 annual lecture at the Eko Hotel.  He was shocked and surprised upon  seeing me resurfacing and doing great, three months after he banished me.  The security man didn't know that I'm not the type of person he can molest and ridicule and go away with it.

Moment of Truth 🗣🗣🗣 Your ability to solve problem determine your personal and societal capacity of usefulness. There are Some people that have the capacity to solve their personal problems.  Another group have the capacity to solve their community problems.  A higher group has developed the capacity to solve national problems. An advanced small group have developed the capacity to solve global problems. We call them global figures.  But there's another higher level of problem solvers, they are occupying their minds with creating solutions to Universal problems - finding ways to harness potentials in other planets. These category of problem solvers are selectively few in our world at large. We call them universal solution providers Now let's get real.... There's a huge group who can't solve their own personal problems. They have an entitlement mentality. They want to be spoon fed in this dynamic generation. They are the problem of our ecosystem.  Those who
