In one of his oft-quoted statements, the popular Bishop of Caesarea, also called Saint Basil the Great, said: “A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; he who plants kindness, gathers love; pleasure bestowed on a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward.”

The highly revered Bishop may have had the Ogunlewe family in mind when he penned this timeless piece. And for those may have asked questions about the secret and strength behind Moyo Ogunlewe’s love for the people and his desire to dare where others give up, they only have to take a look into his background.

Moyosore Adedoyin Ogunlewe, the Executive Chairman of Kosofe Local Government Area in Lagos, is a refreshing force. A lawyer by training and a visionary leader by nature, The White Lion, as he is famously called, has demonstrably improved all the sectors in the local government area.

His robust background in both law and business administration bring a much-needed focus on due process and stakeholder engagement. Moyo, like the true Omo Agba that he is, has combined both native and modern intelligence to impact positively on the lives of the people of Kosofe LGA.

Whether providing the much needed-need paliatives, initiating reforms or tackling environmental challenges, Moyo has successfully fostered lasting relationships and collaboration among the multi-tribal settlements in Kosofe, while at the same time ensuring swift and decisive actions on various issues.

His accomplishments are no doubt undeniable. By spearheading policy changes and fostering a culture that places premium on service, he has changed and transformed the narrative around dividends of democracy into dividends of good governance.

From a responsible resource management to promoting sustainable practices, Moyo is laying the groundwork for a beautiful and susteinable relationship between the government and the governed in Kosofe.

Born in February 1984, Moyosore Ogunlewe’s journey towards excellence commenced with his formative years in Lagos, where he laid the foundation for his future endeavours.

Born into a political family, Moyo cut his teeth in people-driven politics early in life. A true chip off the old block, young Moyo is creating his own path as a core grassroot person and as a man of the people, his reach among young people cuts across the whole of Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.

His hunger and undying desire to better the lives of the people around him and the society at large was a strong enough motivation to attract him into politics. While young men of his age still sucked from Mama’s breast and gets allowance from dad, Moyo set for himself a mission when he contested for the Lagos State House of Assembly seat for Kosofe Constituency 1 in 2015 and 2019.

With his strong determination, the setbacks of those years were not enough to deter him. On July 24,2021, Moyo was elected as the Executive Chairman of Kosofe Local Government on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

It is not an exageration to say that Kosofe is fortunate to have a leader like Moyo at the helm of its affairs. His extensive experience, unwavering resolve, and collaborative approach position him perfectly to address the environmental challenges facing the state. With Wahab leading the charge, a brighter future for Lagos’ environment and waterways is within reach.

Having keyed into the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Greater Lagos mantra, Moyo has brought a fresh start and vibrant ideas to governance in Kosofe. His background as a progressive is yielding positive results on the streets of Kosofe.

And like the eagle, Moyosore Adedoyin Ogunlewe has continued to soar as the Executive Chairman of Kosofe Local Government, excelling in all departments of public administration and continually redefining local government administration.

His performance in the last three years of selfless service has definitely placed him as one of the best performing local government chairmen in Nigeria. Drawing from his understanding of Governor Sanwo-Olu, he pulled the stirngs to apply some balm of Gilead to heal and soothe the pains of the people.

Some of the landmark successes recorded by the chairman in the last three years include the acquisition of state-of-the-art hiace buses to serve as a grassroots benefit and palliative. This, no doubt is an insightful move to alleviate the effects of the fuel subsidy removal mandated by the federal government.

The buses move across Oworonsoki, Ifako/Gbagada, Anthony/Mende/Maryland, and Ojota/Ogudu. From 7 to 9 in the morning, paving the way for progress and granting you the gift of effortless travel free of charge. Fear not about your return journey, for from 4 to 7 in the evening, these buses will whisk you back to your bus stop just as seamlessly. Embrace the journey, embrace the freedom it brings.

This transit system is more than just a mode of transportation; it is a vital lifeline for the local community. These buses as part of the Kosofe cares projects under Kosofe Concern Initiative represent dedication to the grassroots and serve as a promise that the well-being of the Kosofe people is top priority. Come join us on our journey towards a brighter, more connected future.

In the provision of much-needed infrastructure, Moyosore is head and shoulder above his peers.

Nigerian-British social media influencer dies after $9,000 penis enlargement procedure in Thailand

Igho Ubiribo, a Nigerian-British businessman and social media influencer, has reportedly died after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure during a luxury trip to Thailand.

According to findings from an inquest in the United Kingdom, 43-year-old Ubiribo died after the cosmetic treatment triggered a fatal pulmonary embolism.

The businessman, who was also known as “Tiny”, “Denisi” and “Ego”, was on holiday in Bangkok with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, when he decided to undergo the procedure.

Reports from the inquest revealed that doctors injected about 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine into his penis at an unnamed clinic in Thailand in March.

After the procedure, Ubiribo and his wife reportedly returned to their Marriott hotel, where they went for a massage.

It was during the massage that he complained of chest pain before collapsing and losing consciousness.

He was rushed to Sukhumvit Hospital, where he was initially able to respond to medical staff.

His wife reportedly informed doctors that he had recently undergone penis filler injections, prompting concerns that the procedure may have been linked to his condition.

Medical personnel suspected a pulmonary embolism and recommended further scans, but Ubiribo reportedly lost consciousness before the examination could be completed.

Doctors later transferred him to intensive care, where attempts were made to revive him through prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

He was pronounced dead in the early hours of March 6.

A postmortem examination conducted in the UK later reportedly found material in Ubiribo’s lungs consistent with the hyaluronic acid used during the penis filler procedure.

Pathologist John du Parcq told the inquest that the substance discovered matched the material injected during the cosmetic treatment.

He said the findings supported the conclusion that Ubiribo suffered a pulmonary embolism caused by the procedure.

The coroner, Jean Harkin, subsequently ruled that the businessman’s death was caused by a pulmonary embolism linked to the cosmetic injection.

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot or other material blocks a blood vessel supplying the lungs, potentially causing sudden breathing difficulties, heart strain and death.

During the inquest, information from Ubiribo’s doctor in London showed that he had previously undergone joint surgeries and had been described as pre-diabetic and suffering from gout.

However, his doctor reportedly said he had no other major medical conditions.

Penis fillers containing hyaluronic acid are marketed as a non-surgical option for increasing girth, but medical experts have warned that injectable cosmetic procedures can carry serious risks if complications occur.

Ubiribo was known for showcasing his luxury lifestyle on social media, where he had about 185,000 Instagram followers.

Reports said he owned a home in Los Angeles valued at about $1.1 million and a London apartment reportedly worth around $600,000.

He married Zimbabwean fashion designer Danielle Simba Allen in a lavish ceremony in 2022.

Following his death, Ubiribo was buried in London in a gold coffin, with reports claiming the funeral arrangement cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Afrobeats singer Davido, who was described as a childhood friend of the businessman, attended the funeral and paid tribute to him.

The case has renewed attention on the potential dangers associated with cosmetic procedures involving injectable fillers, after medical evidence linked the treatment to the fatal complication.

Help locate my husband! 68-year-old British woman cries out as 31-year-old Nigerian lover disappears after arriving UK

For 68-year-old British citizen, Dawn Ottewell, it was literally love at first sight after she hooked up with 31-year-old Nigerian, Bright Emokpae on a popular dating App, Tinder.

But what began as a love story conceived in heaven and consummated on earth has ended in heartbreak and a desperate search for answers.

At the beginning, Dawn, who obviously was consumed by love, quickly made efforts to facilitate Emokpae’s movement to the United Kingdom after their wedding.

But soon after he arrived in the UK on a spousal visa Emokpae disappeared into thin air. At the beginning, Dawn probably believed her new husband had simply stepped out and would be back soon.

But it soon dawned on her that new husband wouldn’t be coming back any time soon.

In a story published in the UK Sun, the love-struck 68-year-old said she met the Edo State born Bright when she was at the lowest ebb in 2021 and he brightened her life with love.

At the time, Bright Emokpae was reportedly a student in Cyprus and Dawn went on a visit. The couple eventually got married in 2022.

In 2023 Bright was in Nigeria to complete formalities for his visa to the UK courtesy of papers filed by Dawn and he relocated thereafter.

Shortly after his arrival, Dawn claimed that Bright became withdrawn and was always asking for money from her and added nothing to the sustenance of the home.

The pair separated but reunited in October 2023. According to Dawn, Bright reconciled with her because she received a £63,000 settlement following a botched NHS prolapse operation. But he bolted from their home once again.

Not willing to put up with Emokpae’s flight from home any more, Dawn wants a divorce but her man cannot be located to sign the papers with Dawn speculating that he may have relocated to Scotland.

“He’s done a runner and is refusing to sign the divorce papers because I believe he wants to cling on to his spouse visa,” she said.

But Dawn’s main worry is that if she dies before the divorce papers are signed Bright could inherit her estate. “My biggest fear is that I’ll die before this is sorted out and he’ll run off with the money my three children should inherit,” she said.

She says she feels Bright simply used her to get into the UK and she’s appealing for help to locate him.

“I feel I’m being used,” Ottewell said.

She added, “I would advise people to be very careful who they marry, especially when the person is from abroad, because a lot of them are just doing it for a visa, and then they disappear.”
