OfadaBoy: The Old Boy Putting Ofada Rice on the World Map
The Old Boy Spotlight – Agsoba Tobi Benjamin Fletcher Agsoba Tobi Fletcher, 9501 runs the popular OfadaBoy Catering Services operating out of Surulere, Lagos. The brand name is not by chance, it is a representation of his family genealogy; Tobi hails from Ofada town, Obafemi Owode Area of Ogun State, a place renowned for the production of ofada rice. Indeed, he says his great grandfather was among the first set of farmers to plant the ofada rice. A graduate of Microbiology from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State, Ofadaboy started his catering services at his dad’s funeral in 2009. “I was the last born and my siblings looked up to me to help them get caterers and all for the burial. I spoke to my brother that I could run the whole food if they believed in me. He just laughed and said: “it’s kuku your father’s burial, it’s what you cook they would eat,” Tobi says in a recent interview. And that was the start of an adventure that has taken him to two continents and fed thousands of guests at over a hundred events within and outside Nigeria. But OfadaBoy is not just about ofada rice. He is credited with introducing three variants of palm wine into the Nigerian cuisine. He has created palmpine (palmwine and pineapple), palmo (palm wine and orange) and palma (palmwine and apple). His love for palmwine was inspired by his late dad, whose portrait is the logo of OfadaBoy, who would drive to University of Ife to hang out with his friends, Prof Peter Fatomilola and Uncle Jimi Solanke, to mention a few, and to savour fresh, undiluted palmwine. Tobi and his elder brother -Diporepresent the fourth generation of the Fletchers to have attended Abeokuta Grammar School. In fact, his grandmother is a daughter of Olaseni Moore in whose compound the school was founded in 1908. Recently, he was made an ECOWAS Youth Ambassador, an obvious acknowledgement and recognition of his entrepreneurial exploits and achievements in just over a decade. In 2019, he started World Ofada Rice Day, an annual event aimed at showcasing, advocating and promoting Ofada Rice to a global audience.
Dr. Toyosi Craig – The Old Boy Promoting Sustainable Energy in Africa
Agsoba Dr Toyosi Craig (9804) is an Engineer, Innovation Management and Systems Analyst. He came to prominence as a studious and brilliant young student during his time at the famous Abeokuta Grammar School, widely regarded as the primus et solus in the comity of schools in Nigeria. He had his first degree at Federal University of Technology Akure before proceeding to South Africa for his master’s and doctorate degrees in between certificates from the Technical University of Munich, University of Hoffenheim and the Wharton Business School. His innovative master’s project -a parabolic solar cooker that tracks the sun and can cook at night or when there is no sun because it saves heat, drew the world’s attention. He earned his PhD in Engineering Management with a special focus on solar energy from Stellenbosch University, South Africa in 2018. A renowned energy practitioner, Toyosi is committed to providing electricity solution to Africans at zero cost. This is perhaps inspired by his realization and belief that access to clean, renewable, low-cost energy is the foremost condition for Africa’s economic emancipation. Toyosi’s journey through life from a poor sickly child to distinguishing inventor is documented in his self-titled autobiography, Omotoyosi – The Child of Delight: Memoirs of an African Child, available on Amazon and Roving Heights Books
Report of Activities of Club 9399
Agsoba 9399 Club has experienced, in the last one year, an incredible growth in its membership and participation. The current executives, under the leadership of Agsoba Anthony Odeyemi, has achieved great feats, largely about 95% of the promises made to her members before taking up the role of executive leadership. Some of the activities of the club include a Reunion Gathering, Club’s constitution, setting up of Board of Advisers; setting up of Europe and the North America branches of the club; establishment of annual dues and give back project of set of 100 uniforms to 100 pupils. THE HIGHLIGHTS REUNION – The reunion event took place on the 8th of January, 2022 at Hallmark Suite Hotel, Abeokuta. It was well attended by over 40 members, a remarkable attendance experienced in the last few years. The President-General, Agsoba (Chief) Sunday Olurotimi Oduntan, DA 7681, made a courtesy visit to the event. He gave fatherly advice to members present and encouraged all to be more involved in the association matters for its advantages are enormous. He also spoke about the school fence project, the challenges that had been faced and the importance of completing the project in earnest. The President, in his response, promised that club 9399 would surely be a part of the project by sponsoring a section of the fence. An amount of One hundred and Twenty five thousand (N125,000.00) Naira was thereafter paid into the AGSOBA global’s provided account. Members were entreated to a good entertainment after a brief deliberation on the club’s status and its future. A group photoshoots took place afterwards. CONSTITUTION – The importance of a constitution to a group of people is very important. One of the things the club achieved was drawing up a constitution. A team, comprising Agsoba (Barr.) Jamiu Alonge, Agsoba Saheed Osho and the President, Agsoba Anthony Odeyemi, got hold of the constitution being used by the global body and streamlined the articles therein to suit the club, eliminating rules and guidelines that are peculiar to the global body. The constitution was ratified in February, 2022. This document became the guideline of the activities of the club since then. BOARD OF ADVISERS (BOA) – Members of the executive council nominated members for the BOA role, based on credibility and trustworthiness. They are seven in number, selected from across all the branches of the club in order to create inclusiveness and sense of belonging. They include; Agsoba Omotola Aina-Majiyagbe (Chairperson), Agsoba Olamide Jagun (Vice Chairman), Agsoba Funmi Ola (BOA Secretary), Agsoba Aboaba Kunle, Agsoba James Adelakun, Agsoba Jide Oresegun and Agsoba Joshua Popoola. It became important for this to be done owing to the fact that one of their roles is to constitute the electoral committee and oversee elections among other things. CLUB BRANCHES – Another giant stride achieved was the creation of Europe and North America branches of the club. Before now, we had only Ogun and Lagos Branch. The aim is to create an immediate bonding among the clusters of members in the same 56 region and also to increase and encourage active participation of members in these two branches. ANNUAL DUES – As blood is to life, so is money to association. Without money, there won’t be effective operation. Members are now committed financially to the club with the annual dues as stated in the constitution that binds us. WELFARE – We believe doing life alone is dangerous. We therefore established the welfare arm of the club with the sole objective of meeting the need of members faced with dire challenges. The welfare committee members were saddled with the responsibility of carrying out due diligence on any request and provide solutions which could either be monetary or otherwise. We strongly believe this will protect our individual dignity and also foster more bonds among members. All cases are to be treated with utmost confidentiality to protect such member. Members of the welfare committee include Agsoba Raimot Onabiyi (Chairperson), Agsoba Abiola Adesile, Agsoba Oludare Adedotun (Secretary), Agsoba Busola Martins, Agsoba Adebola Adeniken, Agsoba Adesola Adekunle, Agsoba Kayode Bakare and Agsoba Adetutu Adewuyi. The sum of Thirty thousand naira (N30,000.00) was given to a member in need in the month of May, 2022. GIVE-BACK PROJECT – Three basic needs that keep the dignity of a man include food, clothing and shelter. A sense of being well dressed boosts morale; eliminates inferiority complex and shame that could lead to loss of focus. To this end, Club 9399, on the 30th May, 2022, donated 100 uniforms to 100 pupils of the grammar school. It was a day filled with emotions and unexplainable satisfaction as each pupil received the uniform package. Each package comprises 2 shirts and 1 knicker/pinafore for the junior pupils and 2 shirts and 1 trouser/skirts for the senior pupils. Selection was based on pupils identified with tattered and worn out uniforms. A voluntary donation was raised towards this cause. A package of uniform cost N5,000 only. The two school principals were so happy for the kind gesture extended to the beneficiaries. In their words, it was the highest donation of uniform that has ever been witnessed in the school. Our club plans to make this an annual event. It was used to commemorate the children’s day event while also encouraging the pupils to look good. VOCATIONAL SKILL EMPOWERMENT – History was again made on the 7th June, 2022, when the Vice President of the club, Agsoba Mosunmola Ajisebutu organized and conducted vocational skill acquisition training for over 200 pupils of the senior school (SS1 and SS2). The areas of skill acquisition were Small Chops, Make-Up, Events & Decoration and Grills. The empowerment event had highly impactful, practical based training sessions. Professionals in these fields were engaged in order to deliver this value adding training to the pupils. Feedbacks from participants were fantastic. All participants were issued a Certificate of Participation at the end of the training. The principal, Mr. Sorinola, and other teachers that supervised the event, were delighted. It
Catching Up with TK
By Agsoba Bankole Banjo That the Nigerian film industry is one of the glowing positives in this country is no longer in doubt. For those who have toiled to take it to the heady heights it is, Nollywood, as we call it, owes more than a cursory regard. From the days of the late Hubert Ogunde’s moving theatre to the Oyin Adejobi era, Ade Love and the likes, the industry has undergone significant transformation especially in cinematography, acting and storytelling; and, of course, the marketing of movies. Of the lot who have carved a niche for themselves in the motion pictures, few come close to the inimitable Distinguished Agsoba Tunde Kelani, Uncle TK, as we call him. The Mainframe boss is a Director’s Director, having had the privilege of tutoring many Star acts, Producers and Directors, including Kunle Afolayan whose career started as a prodigy in Saworoide, a Tunde Kelani adaptation of a popular play. A very busy man, it was not easy to get to speak with Uncle TK. In response to a request for an interview, one of his SMS read: “Hi Tosin, …I have a trip to Ipara for the 80th birthday of Uncle Jimi Solanke tomorrow…”. Occupied as he was, he found time for the AgsobaNews team and we were more than eager to take him on. Dressed in a buttoned-up adire shirt with his trademark AGSOBA cap styled in a gobi, a beautiful pattern of adire and ankara designed as the backdrop, he came across as a man at home with culture and tradition. As the interview wore on, we knew he was prepared for us, at some point switching cameras when the initial one was not giving the right video output. Talk about a filmmaker and the camera, a match even Zoom cannot put asunder. He flashes a genial smile as we relayed the President General’s goodwill to him across the Zoom platform. It was only apt we started from his latest cinematographic exertion: Ayinla. Why Ayinla? We asked him; why shoot the film now, over forty years after the demise of the Apala maestro when he could as well have shot it perhaps twenty years ago? “Twenty years ago, I was developing in motion pictures. As you know, I started in television and from television into motion pictures.” For a man who had shot the groundbreaking ‘Ti Oluwa nile’ some thirty years ago, this was a surprising yet humble admission; goes to 39 ¬ show how much of a continuous learner he considers himself. “Why Ayinla? As a filmmaker, sometimes we prefer our own city and so Abeokuta has been the backdrop for most of my movies: Maami, Saworoide Arugba, Agogo Ewo, Ti Oluwa Nile and part of Dazzling Mirage,” he continues as he delves into a narrative of his childhood years crisscrossing the Egba landscape on foot from Iberekodo axis to Abeokuta Grammar School at Igbein. “With the story of Ayinla, I decided to introduce Abeokuta in another way, to capture the flow of the Ogun River and then take off into the sky and enter the city of Abeokuta and head straight for the rocks. In that same breadth I managed to get what was left of Abeokuta, and I featured the Central Mosque, the Holy Trinity Church in Ikereku, the only church I have seen with three towers built in stone in 1938. Essentially, I managed to document what is left of Abeokuta along the story of the narrative we created for Ayinla. So there is a lot about the film that needs to be decoded for you to understand it fully.” He concludes with a knowing grin that lights up his face. But there was a snag: the Ayinla portrayed in the movie ran at variance with what majority knew of the legend, thus rousing a lot of commentary amongst movie buffs particularly those of Abeokuta extraction. “The filmmaker has creative licence to shoot what he wants. Ayinla passed on some 41 years ago, it is interesting that people younger than 50 didn’t know much of him. So it is a film designed to present Ayinla to the younger ones and I am happy with the interest, because people ask me questions about the film, the music, because they want to download it and all. The film was to focus on the last 6 months of Ayinla’s life, so we created a plausible story that is going to be entertaining on the one hand but would draw on the talent and personality of this man, who was not educated in the western sense, and his lead drummer, Adewole Oniluola, who also was not educated. Between them they gave us a brand of Apala music that is unique to them. They covered history, philosophy, storytelling everything, uniquely Ayinla Omowura’s beat unlike none other. Ayinla and Adewole Oniluola created a legacy. So it is true most of the things you saw on the film was not his life. We did not even shoot like 25% of the film.” He rues the pre-planned opening scene of the film which never made it to shoot. In the scene, Ayinla was supposed to perform to a section of Abeograms students at the School Hall using the original site of the school. But why did that shoot not happen? “It pained me a lot, we had obtained all permissions to shoot, we had gotten the students ready, we arranged the shuttle to take them from Idi aba to Igbein but something unusual happened. A day before we were supposed to film it, I think something happened (in the City) and the Ministry of Education shut down all schools. It was quite painful as we did not want to defy government orders and all.” Anyone who is conversant with Mainframe Productions must have noticed a very familiar name listed as Executive Producer on a number of the film outfit’s production: Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja. For a filmmaker, it is one thing to have the creative nous,
Breaking the Yoke of Drugs, Rituals and Cultism…
Breaking the Yoke of Drugs, Rituals and Cultism Amongst Secondary School Students By Agsoba Ayotunde O. Okunowo (9602) My closest encounter with drugs was sometimes in 2018. A son of a revered Monarch in the Southwest had paid an official visit to Abeokuta, Ogun State. On every of such visits to Abeokuta, he could afford to miss anything but not the popular Ofada Rice sold at Itoko area of Abeokuta, and I always have the duty of accompanying him. On this fateful day, the driver using all known sobriquets requested me to take him to where he could buy drugs. I was flabbergasted! I was quick to inform him that I knew nowhere. Here is a man who in his entire period of life has not seen cocaine or marijuana at a close range. Upon insistence, I advised him to stop an Okada man for such discretional purchase. The second Okada man that he enquired from was quick to pilot us to an area, without recourse or due diligence to our identities despite the fact that we were in a fully tinted Prado Jeep. This indicates that the use and abuse of drug is common amongst the low and the mighty. Upon entering into the designated enclave, what I saw could never be properly described in Ink! In my second encounter, however I had actually gone to meet a law enforcement officer at one of those notorious points in Abeokuta known as Mayas. With these two encounters, I need not say more. It is such a world of decadence. My fears were later confirmed when I worked in an NGO where I had first-hand experience on rehabilitation of young boys/girls, mostly between ages 16 & 22, who had been severely damaged by drug abuse physically, mentally, psychologically and spiritually. Most of them rely on Artane and Ethyol to live a decent life. According to the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Drug/ Substance Abuse is around 40-50% amongst underaged youths. Some of the drugs commonly abused are Codeine, Tramadol, Loud, Rohypnol, Cocaine, Skunk, Cannabis, Crack, heroine etc. Some lick it as tablet or dissolve it in water while others take drugs as injections. The only known pleasure is the acute intoxicating effect with several dangerous damages to vital organs and the entire body system. Cultism on the other hand, in the good old days used to be a fraternity amongst university students but which has now been fragmented into a suburb/neighborhood confraternity initiating underaged boys/girls. You will be surprised to note that most of our barbers, Okada riders, Generator Repairers and all these domestic artisans are members of one cult groups on the other. Some of the notorious cult groups are Buccaneer, Pyrates, Black Axe, Air Lord, Black Bra, Daughters of Jezebel, etc. The extension of the other two vices give birth to the third one which is Ritualism which oftentimes is done using fresh human parts. The Get rich-quick-syndrome and delayed gratification has pushed many secondary school students into Rituals. They do this all in a bid to drive flashy cars, go clubling, keep tryst and flash expensive phones and gadgets. What are the Causes of these Societal Ills? 1. Bad Parentage: The quest for financial liberty and avarice has made many parents to fail in their parental responsibilities towards their children. This is particularly worsened when these children are from broken homes or products of teenage pregnancy. It must also be established that some are parents spare the rod to spoil the Child. Parents are expected to raise their children in the way of God. 2. Peer Pressure: Unlike in the olden days, parents no longer take special interests in the types of friends that their Children keeps. Whereas, peer pressure accounts for almost 94% of moral decadence. Association determines direction. Show me your friend, an Englishman Says, and I will tell you whom you are. 3. Phone & social media: The illusional Glitz and Glamour that the social media presents is a force throwing many into 16 horrible pits. Apart from the fact that the Social media is only a page which shows one side of life, it has also made it easy for people of like characters to connect, interact and associate. Many people assume dangerous characters because of what they read on social media. The Predilection of underaged boys and girls to Social Media should be greatly discouraged. There are several social media groups for students under the delusions of Drugs, Ritual and cultism. 4. Societal Idolization of Money & the Bandwagon Effect: It is unfortunate that our society doesn’t appreciate or upholds any value except money. Gone are the days when Medical Doctors, Teachers, Professors, Lawyers, Bankers were enviable members of the society. Nowadays, the Yahoo Boys and Ritualists Steal the show. Everybody wants to drive the latest car in town and use the latest iPhone even despite the fact that some of these boys who brandish these gadgets can’t use two percent of the specific functions. The quest to appear in aggrandized view, as big boys or girls throw many students into the delusion of drug, rituals and cultism. 5. Music & Films: I was at my desk reading one day, when I heard my then 2-year-old son singing one of those songs glorifying Yahoo Yahoo. I quickly rose up from my desk and gave him some few spanks with the caveat that I shouldn’t hear such dirty songs from him again. That’s the society that we are! Students are susceptible to dangerous infiltrations. The years of Kings Sunny Ade, Chief Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi, Orlando Owoh and the rest were indeed years of good music. Nowadays, music is an assemblage of rhythmic jargons, expletives and lewd expressions. These songs make waves on our radio stations, Barbers Shop and Pepper-soup joints often blaring at high decibels which unconsciously filters into the listening ears and sink in their minds thus creating a basis for their conscious and subconscious actions. 6. Proliferation of Club Houses,
Health Conditions You Should Keep an Eye On…
Dr Jide Sowemimo A. Introduction If you were to buy a brand-new Mercedes G-wagon today, as durable and rugged as that machine is, you won’t drive it around for years without taking it for servicing or oil change or whatever. If you do, you are going to knock its engine. It will lose its spark quickly and look old and rickety. In my opinion, the human body is perhaps the most complex machine around. I love to see it that way. Now, like every machine, it is subject to wear and tear, to factory errors, to acquired errors, faults etc. So, it is absolutely important that you keep a keen eye on this complicated machine that is your body, especially once you cross 35 years. Unfortunately, most of us do not have it ingrained in us to see a doctor until we are very sick. This is a terrible approach to health. Everyone (including children) should go for a comprehensive medical check at least once a year, EVEN IF IT MEANS SAVING NKWOBI AND PEPPERSOUP AND BEER MONEY FOR TWO OR THREE MONTHS. A few years ago, I got a call from one of my favorite friends. He had gone for a pre-employment medical and they found out he was HBsAG positive. He had Chronic Hepatitis B infection. He was treated and the infection went into remission. He probably isn’t aware of how fortunate he was. What would have happened if he hadn’t gone for those tests, is that he would have developed Liver Cancer maybe in his late 40s or early 50s. That’s invariably the natural course of hepatitis B infection. Over the next few pages, I will share some information as recommended by the US Preventive Task Force on health checks we should go for regularly so that we can stay ahead of some common killers. 1. Cervical Cancer Screening Cervical cancer is not uncommon. You are never too young. I have seen a 32-year-old die of cervical cancer. Luckily it can be prevented, and if detected early, it is easily curable. The way to prevent and or cure it early is via regular PAP SMEARS. Every woman between the ages of 21 to 65 should be screened for cervical cancer once every 3 years with a PAP SMEAR. You can go a step further for your kids. Children, from the age of 9 years can be vaccinated against the viruses (HPV) that cause cervical cancer. These vaccines are available for both boys and girls. a. In summary: I. Woman, are you older than 21 years? If yes, go for a PAP SMEAR once every three years. Put it in your calendar. Don’t let cervical cancer creep up on you. It is very preventable. ii. Do you have a child that is 9 years or older, let him/ her go for the vaccine against HPV (the viruses that cause Genital warts and Cervical Cancer). In women with a family history of breast, ovarian, or tubal cancer the recommendation is a bit different. Such women should be assessed by a physician and if the family history is concerning, they should consider going for genetic testing to see if they have the genes that increase the risk of breast cancer. 2. Breast Cancer Screening The USPSTF recommends that women between the ages of 50 and 74 years should go for a screening mammogram every 2 years. In women with a family history of breast, ovarian, or tubal cancer the recommendation is a bit different. Such women should be assessed by a physician and if the family history is concerning, they should consider going for genetic testing to see if they have the genes that increase the risk of breast cancer. Women who have these genes should talk to their physician so they can be commenced on medications that reduce the risk of breast cancer. This should be commenced at the age of 35 years. A mammogram is like an x-ray of the breast which can reveal breast cancer in its early stages. 3. Hepatitis B and C infection All adults should get screened for both infections. If you are positive for either, consult a gastroenterologist for appropriate advice and treatment. Babies born to Hepatitis B positive mothers should be vaccinated and also given Hepatitis B immune globulin within the first 12 hours of life to prevent them from getting infected. Chronic Hepatitis B or C infection are leading causes of liver cirrhosis and cancer. 3. In summary: HEALTH WATCH i. Get screened for Hepatitis B and C. If positive, do something about it. ii. ii. If negative, get vaccinated. Unrecognized, untreated Chronic Hepatitis B infection is a sure path to Liver Cancer. If you are negative and have never been vaccinated. You can ask about Hepatitis B vaccination. I know it used to be free at LUTH back in the day. It’s a three-dose series given over 5 to 6 months. 4. Hypertension. Every adult should have his/her BP checked. A single elevated BP does not always mean hypertension. It should be rechecked in another setting (preferably at home) when the person is at rest. BP consistently above 130/80 is considered to be stage 1 hypertension (American Heart Association). A lot of places still use the higher cut off 140/90. A person with an elevated BP should modify his/her lifestyle: Aerobic exercise Low salt diet Weight loss. If these measures do not control the BP, the person has to be on anti-hypertensive medications. No matter what if takes, get your BP under control. Uncontrolled hypertension significantly increase the risk for SUDDEN DEATH, heart attacks, Stroke, Chronic kidney disease, retinopathy (blindness) etc. In summary: i. Know your numbers. ii. Get your BP under control. 5. Diabetes Every adult should be screened for diabetes at least once a year. The best test is the HBa1C. This gives you an idea of your blood glucose level over the past 3 months. HBA1C less than 5.8% is normal 5.8 to
Revd. Michael S. Cole | 1908 – 1920
Revd. Michael S. Cole was the first, and foundation Principal of the school. His son, the late Chief H. M. B. Somade was Chairman of the Board of Governors of the School up till his death in 1985. The Revd. M. S. Cole, until his appointment as Principal of Abeokuta Grammar School, was the Senior Tutor of the Lagos Grammar School (i.e. C.M.S. Grammar School, Lagos). A very erudite cleric and competent administrator, the Revd M.S. Cole guided the fortunes of the young school from 1908 to 1920 after which he left to become the Vicar of Christ Church Pro-Cathedral, Lagos, and later, the First Principal of Oduduwa College, lle-lfe. During his tenure, the Revd M. S. Cole strove hard to lay a solid foundation in academic work discipline and moral training. It is significant to note that as early as December 1909, students of the young school sat for the examination of the Royal College of Preceptors and many passed with flying colours. It was also during the tenure of the Revd. M. S. Cole, in 1914 to be precise, that girls first attended the Abeokuta Grammar School. More will be said about this important development when we discuss the contribution of Abeokuta Grammar School to women education in Egbaland and in Nigeria as a whole. The Revd. M. S. Cole relinquished the Principalship of the school on 30th June,1920.
Mr. E. Kasumu | July. 1920 – Aug. 1921
Mr. E. A. Kasumu (later to become Barrister E. Adegunle Soetan), was acting principal from July, 1920 to August, 1921.
Mr. C. Kuforiji | Sept. 1920 – Dec. 1921
Mr. Cornelius B. Kuforiji, served as acting principal from September to December, 1921
