THE KARIMI REVOLUTION: A MANDATE WRITTEN IN GOLD AND GRIT By [Temidayo John Tunde]

They say that when a man of vision occupies the seat of power, the people rejoice. But when that man is Senator Sunday Steve Karimi, the people do not merely rejoice—they witness a resurrection of hope.

I have watched, I have listened, and I have scrutinized. Today, I am breaking my silence. I am standing before the world to declare my wholehearted support for the unprecedented works of the "Lion of Okun Land." This is not just about 2027; this is about the survival and the soaring of Kogi West.

The Audacity of Legislative Excellence

Let the armchair critics and the professional detractors be silenced by the cold, hard weight of the facts. In a mere 31 months, Senator Karimi has sponsored no fewer than 10 revolutionary Bills and moved over 20 motions on the floor of the 10th Senate. He is not a "seat-warmer"; he is a master of the craft, a legislative titan who understands that the law is a tool for the liberation of the masses.

The Guardian of Our Borders

When insecurity threatened to consume our forests and our farms, Karimi did not wait for a federal committee. He reached into his own heart and his own pocket. He constructed a Military Forward Operating Base (FOB) worth over N1.2 Billion in Egbe, equipped it with brand-new Hilux vehicles, and handed it over to the Nigerian Army.

He built a fortress so that your mother could sleep in peace and your father could walk his farm without fear. To his enemies, I say: How do you fight a man who builds a wall of fire around his people?

The Architect of a New Generation

Karimi knows that a nation is only as strong as its schools. He is ensuring that every Local Government feels the touch of progress with new classroom blocks.

  • Look at the 288-capacity CBT Center, a digital masterpiece with Starlink internet and solar power.

  • Look at the 4,000 students in public tertiary institutions who received N100,000 each in bursary awards. That is N400 Million injected into the dreams of our youths! This is not "tokenism"; this is the systematic funding of the future!

The Provider of Light, Water, and Bread

His impact is not just in Abuja; it is in the very veins of our villages:

  1. Water is Life: 85 new solar-powered boreholes and 35 rehabilitated ones. 120 communities now drink the water of life!

  2. Light is Security: 500 solar streetlights and 21 massive transformers distributed to end the era of darkness.

  3. The Pakuta Bridge: A miracle in Kabba-Bunu that has reconnected isolated families to the world.

  4. The Market Woman’s Shield: 1,500 small-scale women business owners empowered with N100,000 each.

  5. The Farmer’s Lifeline: Over 3,000 bags of fertilizer distributed to ensure our barns are never empty.

The Verdict of the People

From the waters of Kotonkarfe to the hills of Egbe, from Kupa South to Iyamoye, the verdict is the same: Karimi is Working! To those who seek to distract us with petty grievances or coercive politics, I tell you today—the momentum is unstoppable. We are moving forward qualitatively and quantitatively. We will not trade our progress for promises. We will not trade our champion for a shadow.

I am proud to be part of this journey. I am proud of the man who represents us. The work is just getting started, and the best is yet to come.

Let the world hear it: Kogi West is with Karimi!

PERMIT ME, JUST THIS ONCE, TO TALK ABOUT YAGBA POLITICS. ✍️ Temidayo John Tunde

Image
Yagba politics is a different ball game entirely. To make real impact in this zone  in this part of Kogi West  no be moi moi. It takes more than vision. It takes will. And it takes a stomach for what you’ll meet. We often say Yagba is blessed  and yes, it is. It’s a pot of wealth, wisdom, culture, and potential. But we have a few big problems: every community loves itself deeply but struggles to love the next. We’re divided not just by towns, but by ego, suspicion, and self-interest. We are brilliant, but we’ve not learned (coalition) to be one. Politics here isn’t just a game — it's a job for many. I no fit lie give you, about 70% of home-based people  those you'll refer to as the grassroots  see it as a livelihood. People with no political appointment, no office, still shining and whining. Retired men, party elders, and those whose own families may not even vote become foot soldiers and power brokers. You’ll hear things like: “Na me get Isanlu or E...

IFON AND YEYELAMO

Image
If you’re from Egbe or have roots in Yagbaland, chances are you’ve heard whispers—maybe even full-blown stories—about a mysterious spring along Patigi Road called Amo. But what if I told you that water isn't just water? That there's a spirit beneath the surface? A woman. A goddess. A legend. As the convener of Egbe Mekun Carnival, part of my mission is to document, preserve, and celebrate the unique stories and sacred traditions of our people. And trust me—IFON is one of the most intriguing. --- 💧 The Woman Who Sank Into the Ground Long ago, in the heart of our community, there lived a woman called Yeye Lamo. She was kind, peaceful, and devoted to her husband. But she had no children—and that changed everything. After waiting over 20 years for a child, her husband gave up and married another woman, who quickly bore him six children. The home once peaceful became hostile. Yeye Lamo was mocked, accused, and emotionally abandoned. One day, after a particularly cruel e...

THE MAESTRO OF THE SAVANNAH Professor Jimo Akolo, MFR (1935–2023)Three Years of Remembrance — The Brush Still Speaks

Image
Three years ago, silence visited the earthly home of a man whose life had long ceased to belong merely to himself. Yet history refused to mourn him in silence. For ordinary men pass away and memory slowly retreats. But there are rare souls whose departure enlarges their presence. Professor Jimo Bola Akolo, MFR, belonged to that sacred league of men. Today, we do not merely remember his passing. We celebrate the triumph of a life that transformed talent into legacy, culture into civilization, and creativity into immortality. Professor Jimo Akolo was not merely an artist. He was a movement clothed in humility. A silent titan who redrew the boundaries of African modernism and carried the dignity of his homeland into the galleries of the world. Long before his name echoed through prestigious art institutions and international exhibitions, he was first a son of Egbe. The earth of Yagba raised him. The spirit of Okunland shaped him. And Kogi State proudly presented him...
