Published

In a quaint town, there stood an upscale restaurant named The Golden Table, known for its exquisite cuisine and elegant ambiance. The restaurant was a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. Leah, a dedicated and hardworking black waitress, had been with The Golden Table for several years. She was well-loved by the regulars and known for her warm smile and excellent service. However, the new manager, Carl, was different from the previous management. His prejudiced views and harsh management style quickly made life difficult for Leah…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

One sunny afternoon, The Golden Table was bustling with its usual crowd. Leah was attending to her tables, her smile never fading despite the busy shift. She moved gracefully between tables, ensuring every guest was satisfied. As she served a table near the window, she noticed Carl watching her from the corner of the room, his expression stern and disapproving. Leah continued her work, trying to ignore the uncomfortable feeling of being watched. As she walked back to the kitchen to place an order, Carl intercepted her.

“Leah, we need to talk,” he said, his voice cold and authoritative.

“Yes, Carl?” Leah replied, trying to remain calm.

“I’ve noticed you haven’t been meeting the standards we expect here at The Golden Table,” he said, crossing his arms. “I’ve had several complaints about your service.”

Leah was taken aback. She prided herself on her work and had never received any complaints before. “I’m sorry to hear that, Carl. I always try to do my best. Can you tell me what the complaints were about?”

Carl sneered. “It’s not just about the complaints; it’s about your attitude. You don’t fit the image we want to project here. I think it’s best if you leave.”

Leah’s heart sank. She knew what Carl meant, but she couldn’t believe he was being so blatant about it. “Are you firing me because of my race?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Carl’s eyes narrowed. “You can interpret it however you want, but you’re done here. Pack your things and leave.”

Leah felt a wave of humiliation and anger wash over her. She had worked hard to prove herself and build a life in this town, and now she was being dismissed because of prejudice. With tears in her eyes, she walked into the back room to gather her belongings. As she left the restaurant, the regular patrons who knew and loved Leah watched in stunned silence.

Outside, Leah sat on a bench, trying to compose herself. She pulled out her phone and called her friend Maya, who was a member of the local bikers club known as The Iron Brotherhood. Leah and Maya had been friends for years, and Leah knew she could count on Maya for support.

“Maya, I need to talk to you. Can we meet up?” Leah asked, her voice shaky.

“Of course, Leah. What’s wrong?” Maya replied, concern evident in her voice.

Leah explained what had happened, and Maya was furious. “I’ll be there in a few minutes,” Maya said before hanging up.

Within minutes, the roar of motorcycle engines filled the air. Maya arrived with several members of The Iron Brotherhood, their presence commanding attention. The bikers, clad in leather jackets and helmets, dismounted their bikes and walked over to Leah.

“What happened, Leah?” Maya asked, her voice filled with concern.

Leah recounted the incident, her voice breaking as she described how Carl had humiliated her. The bikers listened intently, their expressions growing more serious with each word.

“This isn’t right,” Maya said, her eyes flashing with anger. “We’re not going to let this slide.”

The bikers nodded in agreement. They had always stood up for what was right and weren’t about to let their friend be mistreated.

“Let’s go talk to Carl,” Jack, the leader of The Iron Brotherhood, said.

The bikers marched into The Golden Table, their presence immediately causing a stir. The customers’ heads turned, surprised to see an intimidating group entering the upscale establishment. Carl, who was now behind the counter, looked up in alarm as the bikers approached.

“Can I help you?” Carl asked, trying to maintain his composure.

Jack stepped forward. “We heard you fired Leah,” he said, his voice steady but menacing. “We want to know why.”

Carl sneered. “It’s none of your business. She wasn’t meeting our standards.”

Jack’s eyes narrowed. “We know the real reason, and it’s unacceptable. Leah is one of the best waitresses here. You’re letting your prejudice get in the way.”

Carl scoffed. “I don’t have to explain myself to you.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Maya stepped forward, her eyes blazing with anger. “No, but you will explain yourself to the town. We won’t stand for discrimination.”

Carl looked around nervously, realizing the bikers weren’t backing down. The regular patrons, many of whom were loyal customers because of Leah, began to murmur among themselves. It was clear that Carl was losing support.

Jack turned to the customers. “Leah has been part of this restaurant for years. She’s always given her best and made sure everyone felt welcome. Are we going to let her be treated this way?”

The customers, many of whom had known Leah for years, shook their heads. “No!” they shouted in unison.

Carl’s face turned pale. He realized he had underestimated the loyalty and support Leah had in the community. The pressure from the bikers and the customers was too much to ignore.

With a deep sigh, Carl turned to Leah. “I’m sorry. I made a mistake. You can have your job back.”

Leah looked at the bikers and the supportive customers, feeling a wave of gratitude. She turned back to Carl. “Thank you, but I don’t think I want to work for someone who doesn’t respect me. I’ll find another place where I’m valued for who I am.”

Carl nodded, looking defeated. “I understand.”

Leah walked out of the restaurant with her head held high, surrounded by her friends from The Iron Brotherhood. She knew she had made the right decision. As they left, the customers applauded, showing their support for Leah.

Maya put her arm around Leah. “We’re proud of you. You stood up for yourself, and now everyone knows the truth.”

Leah smiled, feeling a sense of empowerment. “Thank you all for being here for me. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

The bikers nodded, their faces filled with pride. “We’ll always have your back, Leah,” Jack said.

Leah knew that with friends like them, she could face any challenge that came her way. She looked forward to finding a new job where she would be appreciated and respected. As they rode off into the sunset, Leah felt a sense of hope and determination.

The story of Leah and the bikers quickly spread throughout the town, becoming a symbol of standing up against injustice and prejudice. Leah found a new job at a restaurant that valued her for her skills and dedication. The Iron Brotherhood continued to support their community, always ready to stand up for what was right.

The news of Leah’s incident and the bikers’ intervention spread like wildfire, attracting attention from local media. Reporters flocked to interview Leah and the bikers, eager to share their story of courage and solidarity. The town, once divided by racial tensions, began to come together, inspired by Leah’s bravery and the bikers’ unwavering support.

Leah’s new job at Harmony Bistro was a perfect fit. The owner, Maria, was a kind-hearted woman who believed in equality and inclusivity. She welcomed Leah with open arms and made sure she felt valued and appreciated. Leah quickly became a favorite among the staff and customers, her warm smile and excellent service winning everyone over.

As Leah settled into her new job, she couldn’t help but reflect on the journey that had brought her to this point. She thought about the prejudice and discrimination she had faced and the support she had received from her friends and community. She realized that her story was more than just about her; it was about standing up for what was right and making a difference.

Leah decided to use her experience to help others. She began volunteering at a local community center, speaking to young people about the importance of self-respect, courage, and standing up against injustice. Her story resonated with many, and she became a mentor to those who faced similar struggles.

The Iron Brotherhood continued their mission of supporting the community. They organized charity rides, fundraisers, and community events, using their influence to bring about positive change. They also made a point of supporting local businesses that valued diversity and inclusivity, helping to create a more welcoming environment for everyone.

Leah’s relationship with Maya and the bikers grew stronger. They became like family, always looking out for each other and standing together in the face of adversity. Leah knew she could count on them for anything, and they knew they could count on her.

As time went on, The Golden Table’s reputation suffered due to Carl’s discriminatory behavior. Customers began to boycott the restaurant, choosing to support establishments that treated everyone with respect. Eventually, the owners of The Golden Table decided to let Carl go, realizing that his actions were harming their business.

The town’s transformation was remarkable. Inspired by Leah’s story and the actions of The Iron Brotherhood, people began to stand up against discrimination in all its forms. They started to see the value of diversity and the importance of treating everyone with kindness and respect.

Leah’s journey was a testament to the power of community and the impact one person can make when they stand up for what is right. She had faced adversity with courage and grace, and in doing so, had inspired countless others to do the same.

In the end, Leah’s story was not just about a waitress who was unjustly fired. It was about the power of standing together, the importance of community, and the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Leah

‘s legacy would live on, inspiring future generations to stand up against injustice and make the world a better place.

I walked into an eatery one afternoon to order takeout. While I waited for my food I kept busy with my phone. A man walked up to me with determination on his face. He smiled and said “Hello my name is Victor. I have been trying to get your attention from my table over there (he points to a far-off table).

1999 Toronto Saga: How Former Speaker, Salisu Buhari, Declared False Age and Forged University Certificate

Published

On the 3rd of June, 1999, Salisu Buhari, a 29-year-old Nigerian businessman who made his fortune dealing in computers, was elected as the speaker of the House of Representatives in Nigeria, a position which constitutionally made him the fourth most important person in Nigeria.

Unknowing to his colleagues, the government and the whole of Nigeria, Salisu Buhari was not qualified for the office he occupied. Few weeks after he was elected, findings revealed that Salisu Buhari, the sixth Speaker of the House of Rep. forged his way to power…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The News Magazine released an article on the 19th of July, 1999 claiming that Salisu Buhari is seven years younger than the 36 years he claimed to be and that he didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating from the institution. The News Magazine had more than enough proofs to back their claims thus suppressing all threats made by Salisu Buhari and his lawyers to sue them for libel.

It was made known to the world that Salisu Buhari, the self-acclaimed Toronto University graduate, was actually born in 1970 and not in 1963 which he claimed. This rendered him unqualified to be the Speaker as section 65 subsection 1 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria disqualified anybody under 30 years from contesting membership of the House of Representatives.

Also, it was made known that Salisu Buhari didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating with a degree in Business Administration in 1990. The University of Toronto, when asked, denied knowing Salisu Buhari. The management said they couldn’t find any record relating to the his name. Carlo Villanueva, an official of the Institution said,

Regarding your request for confirmation of degree for Mr. Ibrahim Salisu Buhari. We have searched our records and could not find anybody with the name you are inquiring with”.

Also, Salisu claimed that he did his national youth service at Standard Construction in Kano. This was proven false as records at the NYSC secretariat in Abuja could not produce his name among the 1991 corps members who served in the scheme. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Blocked in every way, he had no means of escape. After several open denial of the allegations and threats to sue The News Magazine, Salisu Buhari, on Thursday, July 23, 1999, eventually faced Nigerians and admitted declaring false age and forging certificate. In tears, he said,

“I apologize to you. I apologize to the nation. I apologize to my family and friends for all the distress I have caused them. I was misled in error by the zeal to serve the nation, I hope the nation will forgive me and give me the opportunity to serve again.”

He then resigned and walked into the shadows. In 2013, he made his return to the news and the public space when he was appointed as a member of the governing council of the University of Nigeria by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

Normally, the move garnered a lot of criticism. In a feeble attempt to justify the appointment, the Nigerian government explained that Buhari’s apology had earned him a presidential pardon from President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The Man Called Adegoke Adelabu ‘Penkelemesi’

Published

on

By

 

Joseph Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a colossal in the political arena of Ibadan and the then Western Region before the independence of Nigeria in 1960.

He was born in Oke-Oluokun, Ibadan, on September 3, 1915 to Mr. Sanusi Ashiyanbi Adelabu and Mrs. Awujola Adelabu. At the tender age of five, Adegoke Adelabu lost his mother and then lived with his paternal aunt. Adegoke Adelabu attended St. David’s C.M.S School in Kudeti, Ibadan from 1925 to 1929; CMS Central School, Mapo, Ibadan in 1930 and Government College, where he was a head boy, from 1931 to 1936…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

In 1936, Adegoke won a U.A.C scholarship to study commerce in Yaba Higher College but eventually left the college six months later to work as an assistant to the UAC Ibadan district manager. After working with UAC for sometime, he was promoted to an Assistant Manager due to his hard and clever work. However, he left UAC in 1937 to start a business of his own which was unsuccessful. He later took up a civil service job, then returned to UAC in 1945 only to leave after a short period to start a textile trading business which was successful.

After acquiring little wealth from his textile business, Adegoke Adelabu got involved in politics. The starting point of his political career was traced to the period when Ibadan lineage chiefs (Mogajis) rose against Salami Agbaje, the then Otun Balogun of Ibadan, from becoming the Olubadan of Ibadan. In 1951, during the local elections, Adelabu and some other political elements formed a new party called the Ibadan People’s Party to challenge the already established Ibadan Progressive Union and fortunately for Adelabu, the new party won all six seats to the Western Regional Assembly.

However, the Ibadan People’s Party broke apart after an informal alliance with NCNC was proposed by Adelabu. Adegoke Adelabu stayed with NCNC and became the secretary of the party’s Western Province Working Committee. In 1954, Adelabu became the chairman of Ibadan District Council. Also, in the Federal elections of 1954, Adegoke Adelabu won a seat to the House of Representatives and later became the First National Vice President of NCNC and appointed Minister of Social Services. He held this post along with his chairmanship of the Ibadan district council.

He later resigned from both positions after allegations of corruption by the opposition party, Action Group.
In 1956, Adelabu ran for a seat in the regional assembly as the leader of NCNC in the Western Region but his party lost majority seats to Action Group thus making Adelabu the leader of opposition in the Western House of Assembly.
Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a strong politician, leader and had his ground, a firm ground, in Ibadan. He was found of using the phrase “Peculiar mess” whenever he address the public. The non-literate segment of his followers who had never heard of the words peculiar and mess and never knew its meaning Yorubanized the phrase into “Penkelemesi” and then added it to his name- Adegoke Adelabu Penkelemesi. The people so much loved Adelabu. He was indeed a ‘man of the people’. OldNaija gathered that when he became the Minister of Labour, he was given an official limousine car which he drove to Ibadan to show his friends and followers and declared that the car belonged to them, not him. Also, when Adelabu was given an official residence in Ikoyi, the most exquisite part of Lagos inhabited mostly by the British and French, he called drummers from his hometown to celebrate the success which the British and French residents found disturbing. Adegoke Adelabu simply said, “If they do not like noise and drumming, they are free to go back to their own country.” Adegoke Adelabu admitted being an egoist in a book he wrote in 1952 titled ‘Africa In Ebullition: Being a handbook of freedom for Nigerian nationalists’.

On March 25, 1958, at the age of 43, Adegoke Adelabu met his untimely death in a fatal car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. His death sparked protest and chaos in Ibadan as many of his supporters claimed he was assassinated by his opponents with juju. Several properties were destroyed and people also lost their lives. The police arrested over 500 persons of whom 102 was charged with murder and others discharged and some, jailed. It was indeed a big loss, a “peculiar miss” for the people of Ibadan.
