Okun People, Who We Are- Ajagun Samuel Opeyemi


Okun is a sub-ethnic Yoruba in real terms and our genealogy is of Yoruba as a nation one of the best ethnic group in Nigeria, I say that with all confidence! OkunLand is one of the greatest not only in Kogi but in Nigeria.
My Reasons!
Reason 1.
We have the most intellectually Professors in Nigeria. Brilliant Academia breaking major records in academy (Prof. Pius Adesanmi) (Prof Olu Obafemi) (Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan) (Prof. C. K. Ayo) (Prof. Prince Micheal Ikupolati) (Prof Ajibero) among others and even politically I boldly conclude on this!
Reason 2.
We are the happiest In Nigeria. We are loving and caring people, our men are strong and our women so beautiful, we respect, we are honest, original, energetic and brilliant, our men in army are brave, we are very talented and innovative, most peaceful, successful and spontaneous in all our ways, most of it we are so grateful and blessed.
Despite the injustice and rubbery that was done to us, somehow we manage to thrive and move on irrespective of the stones thrown at us by the government (APC) with undeserved hardship, especially the non-payments of salaries.
I must also commend some person of Okun who have been making impact and improvements for development; likes of Ambassador Paul Fadunmiyo (ODA President) Mr. Olusuyi Otitoju just to mention few, royal highness with some elders, youth organizations and students body preaching peace and love for our people most especially on last year OKUN SUMMIT that was organized making sure that even in bad situations, hunger and unemployment we are still laughing, happy, peaceful and we are still together. Kudos!
I can go on to list why Okun People is the most Blessed but that is not the angle I am talking from today.
I will talk to the Youth, for allowing politicians to use us, as a thug or to protest just for their own interests,
I have watched and listened to several Okun youth agitating not for the interest of the people but for political purposes and this cannot move us forward as a youth.
My believe is that Okun has all it takes to fix her problems of development, empowerment, roads, employment, healthcare, agriculture as well revitalised industries to create jobs for the teaming young Okun. This can be done not for us but by us. Yes.
The YOUTH!
As far as to blame our politicians, I also think the youth have to change their mindset, and defied the popular my turn to chop money. Our minds have been corrupted by the politician... I think the youth too are part of the problem we are facing. We have been used by the politician at their myopia policies. We need to change our pilitical will and issue a challenge without fear!
CONCLUDING....
Youth of Okun I know you all are happy, but I want you to get angry, don't get angry to fight with guns or being violent, but get ready to fight with your Strong Decisions and Resolve to STAND FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE and DEVELOPMENT OF OKUNLAND.
As for me I have wise up, if you give me cutlass, or any arm to perpetrate evil in OkunLand or Kogi State. Be rest assure that your immediate family is my first target. Its a promise and I will surely fulfill it. So help me God.
It's time for Unity
It's time for Development.
I'm an OKUN Man
I'm a YORUBA Man
God bless the Youth who believe in the Struggle.
God bless Kogi State
God bless Nigeria.
