Boston, United States of America-based musician, Temidayo Balogun, who leads "Akede Band," loves what is doing and he is determined to give it all it takes. In this interview, Balogun spoke about how he got into the music profession, his father's influence in his career and who he is planning to collaborate with in Nigeria. What made you want to become a musician? As a kid I grew up in a music oriented home. My dad who was a shepherd at the Celestial Church of Christ, but he is late now. May his soul rest in peace. My dad played a major role in influencing my choice of becoming a musician because growing up, I watched him play different kinds of music in the house. As the pastor's son, as soon as they get a new instrument in the church I will be the first person to play that instrument without having any kind of education aboy that instrument. I just have a way of finding the sound of the instrument.  After a while, my dad got me a music teacher that helped me in lear

Being an investigative journalist who covers religion majorly, I am acquainted with prophets and their prophecies. I understand how prophecies can be misinterpreted if not well listened to and this is why most of the time; I listen to prophecies several times in order to get an understanding to avoid any ambiguity in my mind. In my career, I have covered a lot of prophets and one thing I noticed is their fame doesn’t last. They are only famous during election period and after that, they go into hiding until another election. Most of them don’t give prophecies consistently apart from Primate Ayodele whom I refer to as the ‘golden fish’ among them; He is different in all ramifications. Primate Ayodele has been in the prophetic ministry for years, He was in the ministry when the likes of Primate Olabayo, The Oshitelus, late prophet Adewole, Prophet Tibetan, and Late Prophet TB Joshua were coming up. These were the trendy prophets in the 90s but among those mentioned, Primate Ayodele is st

Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has applauded Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her intervention in empowering women and other vulnerable groups in the society through her Initiative, Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).   The Governor stated this after paying a courtesy visit on the First Lady at the State House in Abuja.   The interventions of the initiative in the  include a National Scholarship Programme, which was recently flagged off in Abuja with 43 beneficiaries from across the nation, women ICT Training and other empowerment programs in agriculture and social investment.      These were contained in a statement by the Special Adviser Media, to the First lady of Nigeria, Mrs Bisola Kukoyi.   The Governor noted that these will complement similar policy objectives of the Bola Tinubu Renewed Hope Agenda, as well as serve to reassure Nigerians.   "We have to encourage her on the Renewed Hope Initiative which we have all heard about, which she i

What people don’t understand, they seek to destroy. It’s sometimes difficult to adapt to change or to accept a certain fact due to several factors including sentiments, affiliations, interests and others. In every sector, there are naysayers who tend to influence the opinion of others on particular subjects but for the purpose of progress, it is high time the world dropped sentiments and faces reality. Realistically, when it comes to accurate prophecies, Primate Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has performed wonderfully well over the years. He has continued to uphold the prophetic ministry globally with the fulfillment of his prophecies. He has over 15,000 fulfilled prophecies to his credit yet disgruntled elements don’t seem to celebrate him rather, they criticize by sharing lies against him especially in his country, Nigeria. Although, the criticisms have never hindered the man of God from sharing his prophecies, he has continued to wax stronger by the day, His fame has g

Beyond being an election where the victor and the loser have been determined, the Zimbabwe Presidential election has substantiated the influence, credibility, and irremovable marks that Primate Ayodele has on the prophetic ministry globally. Though based in Nigeria, Primate Ayodele is one of the most respected prophets in the world and this is why his prophecies go beyond the shores of Nigeria and Africa, they are watched and read in every part of the world. Just recently, His prophecies on the coup in Niger got published in Russia, Sri Lanka, Zambia, USA, and some Western countries. He is also the only cleric to amass 7 Million impressions within July and August on the internet, according to Brand24, a monitoring software. The realm where Primate Ayodele operates seems to be unreachable for other prophets because, for decades, no one has been able to come close to his manner of churning out prophecies and the records of fulfilled prophecies he has to his credit. In July 2023, Primate

Following a recent confession by lawyers representing the interest of President Bola Tinubu that documents of his academic records submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are fraught with errors and inconsistencies, there have been a closer scrutiny of those documents by lawyers of former Vice President of Nigeria and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, among others and the results of which present even more damning revelations. It will be recalled that President Tinubu’s lawyers on Wednesday in response to the petition of Atiku in a federal court in Chicago, Illinois for the discovery of the documents of Tinubu at the Chicago State University (CSU) agreed that there are errors in the academic certificate presented to INEC by the President, and blamed those errors on the clerk of the university. It will also be recalled that both the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and L

Even though Primate Ayodele was among the few clerics who prophesied the surprising emergence of Donald Trump as the President Of The United States Of America (USA) some years back, He was still the major prophet who foretold his unfortunate loss at the last presidential election that produced Joe Biden. For years, Primate Ayodele has been speaking about former President Donald Trump; His emergence as the president, how his administration will be perceived by the people, how he was going to lose the presidential seat, and what will become of him after his exit from the presidential seat. On Sunday, 28th December 2014, Primate Ayodele in Sun Newspaper simply said that the candidate of the Republican Party will take over from Barrack Obama as the President of the USA. At that time, Obama’s Democratic Party had elected Hillary Clinton as the candidate while Republicans elected Donald Trump. “Republican Party nominee will take over from Obama as the President of America in the coming gener

As Nigeria grapples with a foreign exchange crisis, one person stands out in the scramble to obtain hard currency: Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man. When the government restricted the supply of dollars in June 2015 to prop up the value of the Nigerian naira, firms owned by Dangote landed a healthy share of dollars available at the cheap official rate, a study by Reuters showed. Reuters examined foreign currency transactions made during an 11-week period in March to May this year.  Over that time, Dangote businesses were able to buy at least $161 million in hard currency from the central bank.  That was around nine percent of all the hard currency the bank sold over the period. In a single week in March, one dollar in every eight went to Dangote companies. There is not enough data to see how that stacks up with the companies’ share of foreign trade. Compared with buying dollars on the more expensive unofficial market, though, Dangote companies benefited to the tune of about $100 mill

  The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), has joined forces with the Waste and Environmental Sustainability Team (W.E.S.T) and the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA), to drive an innovative waste management initiative, known as “The Waste Academy 1.0”.
