Nigeria @66: President Tinubu Calls For Calm, Claims Nigeria Economy Is Stabled

Sixty-six years ago today, our flag was raised, for the first time, over a free and sovereign nation. Since then, we have journeyed together as one nation, bound by our collective trust in the great promise of Nigeria: that a country of our size, our bountiful resources, our cultural diversity and, above all, our extraordinary people can build a giant in Africa;  that in this blessed and fertile land we can build a united, strong and prosperous nation; a land of regional authority and global consequence.   Our journey has not always been easy. In truth, it has generally been too hard for too many. We have known moments of great hope and periods of profound disappointment. We have endured war, military rule, economic crises, insecurity and political upheaval. Yet through it all, Nigeria, with the indomitable spirit of its people, has endured.   It has endured through the efforts of the farmer who rises before dawn to work his land. The trader who opens her shop each mornin...

The Wellspring of Truth: Our Vision for Osun Post

A New Dawn at the Source: Charting the Course for Osun, Nigeria, and the Global African Narrative There is a profound Yoruba proverb that says, “Odo to ba gbagbe orisun re, gbigbe ni yoo gbe” —a river that forgets its source will surely dry up. Today, as we launch Osun Post into the vast, bustling, and often chaotic digital media landscape, we do so with our eyes fixed firmly on the future, but our feet planted deeply at the source. We live in an era of unprecedented noise. Every second, we are bombarded with a relentless stream of notifications, fleeting headlines, half-truths, and sensationalized clickbait. In this digital frenzy, the truth is often the first casualty, and the genuine, nuanced stories of our people are frequently lost in the algorithm. We built Osun Post to be the antidote to that noise. We envisioned an oasis—a crystal-clear wellspring of reliable information, deep cultural appreciation, and unyielding journalistic integrity. But what does it mean to be a modern di...
