The Traditional Ruler of Azumini Ndoki Ancient Kingdom in Ukwa East LGA, Abia State, HRM Eze Edward Eule (Onyenweali X), has dismissed claims by some of his subjects that he abandoned his throne following his temporary absence from the community. This is as six suspects have been arrested by the police in connection with the stealing of the community’s electricity transformer, thus plunging the community into darkness. The monarch, who is currently in the U.S, explained that his trip was to attend to personal and professional matters, adding that he will soon return to Nigeria. "I travelled to the United States of America in May 2025 to attend to some professional and personal matters. I am robustly healthy and fine, and I may soon conclude the task of my sojourn here", he said.

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly,Rt.Hon. Mudashiru Obasa today wednesday berated the low turn out of teachers in public schools during the Public Hearing of a proposed laww t make the teaching and speaking of Yoruba Language compulsory in all the schools in the State.The Bill entitled,''The Promotion and Preservation of the Use of Yoruba Language in Lagos State and the Connected Purpose''.The Bill was in continuation of the Yoruba Summit Day organised by the House in 2016 as part of measures to promote and preserve the language and its accompanied customs and traditions.Obasa who made this remark while delivering his keynote address at the Lateef Jakande Auditorium in the Assembly premises,stated that it was disheartening that many public schools in the State were lackadaissical to a programme geared towards protecting the native language from going into extinction.''We have a lot of public sschools in Lagos State,but many of them are not here today.We need to look at that because it is through them {public schools},we can reach out to the children.I have observed that we don't have many of them in this gathering,'' said the Speaker.He however explained that this could prompt the House to direct all the lawmakers to go to their respective constituencies to educate residents on the import of the law.The Speaker further stated that it was saddening to see young children and the elderly at times having difficulty in speaking Yoruba language.According to him,''I have the privilege to travel far and wide,but do you know what? Other people cherish their native languages so they are developed and more sophisticated than us.So the question is,why is it so difficult for us to speak our language?''.Obasa,however,explained that the proposed law was not to intimidate anybody but ''it is to encourage our children to start speaking in our mother tongue''.More photos below.
