In his commitment to contribute to Lagos state and Nigeria, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi has establish a Centre for the study of Lagos History at the Lagos State university.

 

The establishment of this purpose-built centre was borne out of the need to have an institutional body that would serve as a research and reference centre for Lagos studies. It has been observed that the migrants and the settlers have no adequate knowledge of historical evolution as well as the transformational history of the major groups in Lagos despite the plethora of literatures on Lagos.

The Aro of Ikate land, Chief Lekan Bakare, Vice President of the council expressed that at a point in time in history due to some political misadventure, the north history entirely was out of the curriculum but now the society has successfully returned to the curriculum with the support of the Lagos State government and history is taught at each level.

 

Chief Lekan Bakare accepted that a lot of challenges were faced during the process before it was finally integrated into the system, and there, every aspect of history would be taught.

The Kabiesi Oba (Dr) Saheed Ademola Elegushi(Kusenla iii) is currently involved in a blue scoop project with LASRRA.it is about visiting schools in Lagos and pupils are educated on importance of climate change, recycling, life under water and how we conserve our marine life , not only that, there is also a book on the history of Lagos in conjunction with LASRRA and a day was chosen for the book reading , it was an interactive day with the children , the book titled “Aina on its own Island”.

 

 

The mission is to bring back history to every age group with no exception of the children so they can grow up with a historical mindset ,bringing it down to as low as the primary one.

 

 

Ms Aiki Odiawa Director of Elegushi Foundation confirmed that his royal highness supports sport, and his contribution is present at Ikoyi Club, National Stadium, Nigerian Olympic Club, and more. His royal highness has awarded countless scholarships and also pays the school fee of a lot of student, as a custodian of culture, he promotes art and culture.

 

 

Ms Aiki Odiawa said a lot of people miss out on culture not only in Lagos but the country as a whole, kabiesi made it his responsibility to encourage culture and tell the story to let people know about who we are and what we stand for .This is why this historical center is so relevant not just for lagos state but the entire world because this is going to a bank of cultural information. It is not just about Lagos.We need to have the interrelationship pointed out, straightened out,let’s correct the narratives and all this would be based on evidence that one would see there.

 

 

An example is the Benin and Lagos and the Aworis, there is an interlink there,let’s clarify ,let’s have supportive document that would forever erase any doubt in people’s mind.knowledge is very powerful, it could stop wars, it could stop killings, it could stop a whole lot of things and start a whole lot of things. once we have that knowledge regained, that’s what we are putting up there, people are free to come from all over the world to acquire more knowledge of history and culture.

 

 

Everyone on board supports his royal highness and would urge the general public to support his effort, let’s take ownership of our society, and let the narrative come from us, we cannot let people tell us who we are, we know who we are, we should be able to tell our children who we are, the children should have access to know who they are so that we can all be proud of ourselves, proud of where we come froma and proud of what we are doing.

Tunde Ayeni hits back at Adaobi Alagwu over DNA certificate

....affirms earlier position that the certificate is fake

 

 

The controversy surrounding the paternity of the daughter of Abuja based lady Adaobi Alagwu has once again popped up in the media with her release of a DNA certificate which businessman, Dr Tunde Ayeni emphatically describes as not only compromised but fake.

 

In a press release, which he personally signed, Dr Ayeni noted: “This lady is being clever by half. She is haunted by her reckless past and is truly desperate. It is this desperation that is pushing her on this journey to infamy and ultimate disgrace.”

“It has become necessary to once again address the persistent and shameful campaign of blackmail, deceit, and defamation orchestrated by Ms. Adaobi Alagwu. When I say the certificate is fake, it is a position informed by indisputable facts. First, the result was meant to be out in five days. Later, a letter, purportedly from the centre, came pushing the date the result will be ready by two extra days. When we cross checked from the centre, they denied knowledge of the said letter and Indian name that signed it. At that point, it became crystal clear to us that the process has been compromised and that the outcome can not be genuine. We have since discovered other nefarious steps taken to come about the so-called DNA certificate.”

 

He said further: “Despite multiple public statements, legal affirmations, and sworn affidavits unequivocally denying any ties or paternity claims, Ms. Alagwu continues her relentless campaign of falsehoods. Multiple investigations revealed that Ms. Alagwu and her associates hacked into the email accounts of the accredited laboratory responsible for the actual DNA analysis. Their goal was to insert a falsified document to support her baseless claims. People are privy to these facts and in due course it’ll be presented to the appropriate authorities especially now that we are in court”.

 

 

The release noted: “For instance, it was not a mere coincidence that it was at the critical point in time when we were expecting the results that Google found out that the email we used had been compromised. At that point, we lost confidence in the process and the centre. It was then we requested for another DNA at another center, which the lady rebuffed” he added.

 

“Let it be stated clearly that:

* Dr. Tunde Ayeni has no marital connection to Ms. Adaobi Alagwu: This fact has been affirmed repeatedly in official legal documents, including a sworn affidavit.

 

* The child in question is not Dr Ayeni’s. Ms. Alagwu’s fabricated DNA result contradicts the legitimate, verified results that conclusively establish the absence of any biological relationship. At the appropriate time and place, this evidence will become public knowledge.

* This desperation will lead Adaobi nowhere. If she is confused about the true father of her daughter, she should invite her numerous dates for DNA tests.

 

* The ongoing blackmail and cyber-attacks boarders on criminal intents and legal actions are ongoing to seek full redress.
