Even during precolonial era, Igbogila took its rightful place among the foremost towns. Unlike other settlements, the forefathers of Igbogila had an enviable foresight and took interest in Western Education which prompted the establishment of Egbado High School now, Yewa Secondary School Igbogila as far back as 1956. Olu of Igbogila, Oba Ebenezer Osingade Olanloye However, Igbogila like other towns in Yewa land had her own share of misfortune and suffered a setback that relegated her earlier developmental strides due to internal rancor and lack of purposeful leadership.

NOT EVERY PROFESSOR IS WELL

Yes,not everyone that is called a Professor is well. Nature of sickness varies. We were told the story of a Professor of History who always sat at the gate of  Ilesa Grammar School, Ilesa,Osun-State,Nigeria.  How will a Professor be sitting at the gate of a secondary? Doing what? The answer is obvious. He had psychoanalysis problem. Yoruba will say "Otiyiwo niyen"  According to the account of people that were very familiar with this Professor, if anyone wanted to know about the history of the world just offer this Professor  a small quantity  of palm wine, the Professor upon taking the palm wine will be pouring history of the world. He was a Professor of World History with psycho problem.  The situation of that Professor is similar to that of one Professor Oke who at anytime  is offered token like a  cup of palm wine will be foul-mouthing. Comments of this Professor of hatred depends on the volume of palm wine provided him that will enable him to pour his venom on the people

  The Deputy Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in Ogun State, Adekunle Akinlade, a.k.a Triple A, has a funny way of deceiving himself and his co-travellers in the PDP that he has any political might, wherewithal or popularity to stand in the way or stop the moving political train of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which has gathered momentum across Ogun West. Triple A was quoted as telling a group of PDP supporters at a campaign rally in Ipokia recently that he would conquer the APC and do everything possible to stop the APC Senatorial candidate, Senator Solomon Adeola, and others from being elected in Ogun West. He was also said to have alleged that Senator Adeola was behind how the ADC governorship candidate’s name was removed from the ballot.  Apparently, these type of empty boasts and contrived phoney allegations being made by Tripple A have only confirmed his reputation of making empty promises of things he cannot and will not do which has become his trad
