Campaign Graphic Of O.G.M

By Victor Olubiye

Ogunmodede Oluwatobiloba Olanrewaju, popularly known as O.G.M, has told students of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, to hold him accountable to a target of resolving at least 500 student cases if elected President of the Students’ Union Government (SUG).

In an exclusive interview with The Creativity Site, the HND I Microbiology student and SUG presidential aspirant said his proposed administration would prioritise student welfare, effective communication and accountability.

O.G.M identified poor communication and lack of student welfare as major challenges facing students, particularly delays in receiving information on school fees deadlines, examination updates and result publication.

He said he would establish a functional SUG Helpdesk and Communication Hub as one of his first priorities if entrusted with the students’ mandate.

The proposed helpdesk, he explained, could operate through a physical office or online platforms such as WhatsApp, allowing students to report issues, receive updates and get feedback within 48 hours.

For his first 100 days in office, O.G.M said he would focus on academic support and improving communication with students.

He promised to partner with well-meaning individuals to organise free tutorial classes, while also working with course representatives and lecturers on the treatment of past questions and study materials.

He said his administration would also ensure that students’ concerns are heard and addressed.

On accountability, the aspirant promised to publish monthly reports on SUG activities, including its finances and programmes.

“Under me, it will be action first,” O.G.M said, adding that students should expect a president who would be present in hostels, classrooms and at school events, rather than only during campaign periods.

He also proposed the establishment of a Students’ Rights Committee made up of senior students to assist students facing what he described as unfair treatment.

According to him, cases handled by the committee would be documented so that students could track the issues and actions taken.

Looking beyond his first 100 days, O.G.M said he wanted his administration to be remembered for making SUG “visible and useful again” and rebuilding trust between students and their union government.

He specifically set a target of having the proposed SUG Helpdesk resolve at least 500 student cases within one session.

“If at the end of my tenure that desk is not working and students are still suffering in silence, then I failed. And you should call me out for it,” he said.

Explainer: Sex Every Day Won’t ‘Finish’ Your Sperm — But These Things Can Affect Fertility

-
Image
  By The Creativity Site For some young people, the fear is simple: if a man has sex and ejaculates almost every day, will he eventually “finish” his sperm and struggle to have children when he is ready? The answer from available medical evidence is no. Frequent sex or ejaculation does not, by itself, cause permanent infertility. In fact, guidance from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) says the belief that frequent ejaculation reduces male fertility is a common misconception. ASRM cites research involving nearly 10,000 semen samples which found that, among men with normal semen quality, sperm concentration and movement remained normal even with daily ejaculation. The organisation also says couples trying to conceive should not be advised to limit how often they have sex because intercourse more frequently than every one to two days is not associated with lower chances of conception. But that does not mean every man who has sex frequently will automatically have ...

  By Victor Olubiye  Oludayo Oluwapelumi Ayobamidele, popularly known as Value, the newly elected Senate President of the Students’ Union Government (SUG) of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, has said he will establish what he describes as an “Inclusive Parliament”, with a focus on ensuring that every student feels represented. Value, an HND 1 Civil Engineering student, stated this in an exclusive post-election interview with The Creativity Site following the conclusion of the 2026 OSPOLY SUG election. Reflecting on his earlier statement that “representation doesn't end when we win elections; that is when it begins,” the newly elected Senate President said his responsibility now was to move from campaign commitments to practical representation. “In practical terms, it means the real representation starts now. It is time to bring the real student Parliament to work and I named it INCLUSIVE PARLIAMENT where no student will feel left behind,” he said. Value said he intends to address...

NYSC CORPS' ABDUCTION: Should NYSC Still Be Sending Corps Members Far From Home?

-
Image
  By Victor Olubiye  A young Nigerian graduate leaves home with a NYSC call-up letter, a few clothes packed in a bag and the excitement of beginning another stage of life. For many parents, it is supposed to be a moment of pride. Their child is leaving home to serve the country. But what happens when the journey to the orientation camp becomes a security concern? That is the question the recent abduction of prospective corps members in Imo State raises. Reports said prospective corps members travelling from Ibadan, Oyo State, towards orientation camps in Abia and Akwa Ibom were attacked along the Owerri-Onitsha Road in the Umunoha area of Imo State. According to the Imo State Police Command, security operatives later located the suspected camp where some of the victims were being held after using drones and trailing the abductors. However, the police said they were cautious about moving into the area because intelligence indicated that the camp might have been planted with imp...

COMMENTARY: THE BURNING BRIDGE: From Promise to Peril

-
Image
  By Samuel Ashiwel The tragedy of a nation is not when it fails to cross to the other side. It is when it deliberately sets fire to the bridge while still standing on it. Every functional polity is built on a bridge. One side of the river holds raw potential; population, resources, diversity. The other side holds the promise; stability, prosperity, and justice. The bridge itself is made of invisible materials: trust in institutions, respect for rules, commitment to merit, and the willingness to produce rather than merely share. In the early years of our political journey, that bridge existed. There was competition among the constituent parts. One region built monumental estates from agricultural proceeds. Another built the largest markets in West Africa from trade and commerce. A third built enduring educational institutions from its own internally generated revenue. The centre was weak, the federating units were strong, and development was a race. Then, gradually and consciously,...

OSPOLY Rejects Candlelight Procession for Late ‘Emir Ajagungbade’ on Campus

  Emir Ajagungbade By Victor Olubiye The Management of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, has rejected a planned prayer session and candlelight procession in honour of late Olalekan Oyeyemi, popularly known as Emir Ajagungbade, within the institution’s premises. Oyeyemi died on Sunday, September 6, 2026, in Ile-Ife. The planned programme, organised by a group of his friends, was scheduled to hold at the Pavilion of the Polytechnic on Sunday, September 20. In a statement signed by the Polytechnic’s Registrar, Abiodun Oyedele Oloyede, the management said it was not favourably disposed to the proposed candlelight procession taking place on campus. The management, while commiserating with the deceased’s family, friends and associates, said the decision was based on the prevailing security situation in the state. “The prevailing security situation in the State does not give room for such activity to take place in the campus, following the just concluded peaceful gubernatorial and Student Uni...

FROM PARTIES TO PERSONALITY CULT: How Nigeria's One-Man Empire Buried Opposition

-
Image
By Samuel Ashiwel In 1999, Nigeria returned to democracy with a loud promise. Different parties, different ideas, different choices for the people. Twenty seven years later, that promise has been strangled. Governors defect like prisoners seeking parole, commissioners sing praises to survive, ministers vanish into silence, and the entire country is being forced to bow to one man. This is no longer a party system. It is a personality cult, and it is killing Nigerian democracy. For months, Nigerians have watched a political drama that feels less like democracy and more like a surrender ceremony. In April 2025, Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori did what many thought impossible. He led the entire PDP structure that had ruled Delta since 1999, including former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the party that was once the face of the South South, into the APC in one afternoon. It was not a defection. It was a wholesale auction of a state. What followed was a dam break. In June 2025, Governor Umo...

OPINION: If Eight Hospitals Could Not Save ToluwaniSings, What Hope Is Left For The Poor?

-
Image
By Victor Olubiye The death of gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as ToluwaniSings, should prompt Nigeria to ask difficult questions about emergency healthcare and the responsibilities of government. According to his personal assistant, Babadunni Gbolabo, efforts to obtain medical attention for the singer after he slumped took them to between seven and eight hospitals in Ibadan, Oyo State. Speaking to BBC Yoruba, the aide said some facilities reportedly cited doctors' unavailability or an ongoing strike, while the attempts to secure treatment were unsuccessful. ToluwaniSings died on October 14, 2026. His family's loss is painful in its own right. But the circumstances described by his aide have also raised a public-interest question: how should Nigeria's healthcare system respond when someone needs emergency medical attention? The allegations must be investigated before any hospital is declared responsible for the singer's death. The University Colle...
