THE 2023 ONDO RALLY: AIRTEL, THE GIANT TELECOMS ORGANISATION MADE A WAVE AND PLAYED PIVOTAL ROLE TO MAKE IT A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME



As expected, the recently concluded 2023 Ondo Motor Rally is done and dusted. The rally was a delightful and fulfilling feat, with participants and spectators enjoying a thrilling display of skill, agility, and speed. It was a holiday atmosphere with music, dancing, food and drinks by thousands of people from around the country and abroad who flocked to the city of Ilara-Mokin, filling up all the hotels with large chunk spill over to the hotels in Akure. While many key players and sponsors were involved in the event, Airtel was one company that stood out head and shoulder tall in their presence, significantly contributing to the festival’s pageantry, parade, and fanfare.

Airtel truly helped make the 2023 Ondo Motor Rally run smoothly and efficiently by providing the essential telecom services that included internet connectivity, on-the-ground customer services, and aiding mobile communication, allowing participants and spectators alike to stay connected throughout the event.

Telecommunication is key to the success of any motor rally with the provision of high-speed internet services allowing the organisers and participants to communicate effectively, track the progress of assignments in real-time, and enable them to stay on social media, monitor reactions, comments and gauge feedback. More importantly, spectators can stay connected to the action, sharing photos and videos of the race on social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, Tiktok, Linkedln In, etc.

The Ondo State Deputy Governor, His Excellency, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa spent over five hours watching the spectacles and at the end, promised that the state would fully support and would do all it can to see to the continued growth of motorsports in the state. Given such a supportive promise by the Office of the Governor, Airtel taking the front seat in such an endeavour becomes more significant. The expectation is limitless; because as the state and more organisations join the drive, piggybacking on the foundation now set, telecoms will be required to ensure the safety of all those involved in the event as they are to provide mobile communication services to the organizers, allowing them to stay in touch with emergency services personnel to respond quickly to any incidents that could occur during the races well as expected to provide avenues for words, audio, video communication access, etc. Airtel being on the ground at Ilara-Mokin and being instrumental to the success of the 2023 Ondo Motor Rally is not only commendable but that by such stroke of ingenuity and taking a calculated risk to be one of vanguard supportive front liners, their role and place can be taken for granted as cemented partners with the promotion organisation, Work and Play, and the Ondo State government.

As the popularity of motorsport continues to grow in Nigeria and get the support required, it is clear that companies such as Airtel's commitment to taking the leap, being supportive and ensuring effective communication of all present are evidence of their dedication to their customers, and showcasing their increasingly important role in the support of sporting events. And with their improved extensive network infrastructure and commitment to providing the latest high-quality services, the future of the Ondo Motor Rally for years to come can only get better.

SCAVENGERS’ ORGY By OZIOMA IZUORA : EXPOSING THE CRAVINGS OF MEN AND THEIR FANTASIES

‘Scavengers’ Orgy,’ explores the role of customs in communities, in range of behaviour from taken for granted traits, deeds and actions; from child bequeathal, marriage, rape to all manners of exploitations and manipulations. Ozioma documents the shenanigans by individuals and organizations as they crisscross Nigeria to Europe and North America; identifying, exposing and amplifying associations and relationships that may not be obvious to casual readers. ‘Eyes glued to the mirror, Beatrice gauges the effect of the clingy black top she has just pulled over her black bra. It hangs over her short jeans skirt, revealing a wee bit of the alluring flesh of her tight abdomen. She screw up her eyes to better appreciate the effect of her apparel on her prospective audience…she is after all, the prize that has attracted all the attention. Normally she does not mind parading herself, a sinecure of inquisitive eyes, but not for these unpolished rural skunks. For three days, she has felt he...

TENANTS OF THE HOUSE

BY WALE OKEDIRAN The historical real-life tale in the ‘Tenants of the House’ will come alive for all those who were fortunate to witness the shenanigans that went with similar attempt few years back; as in the ‘Tenants of the House,’ there was an impeachment procedure instituted against the Speaker of the House of Representative, spear headed by the president, then there was a successful fight back, but then, this was followed immediately by an attempt to institute constitutional amendment for tenure prolongation through the back door which caused an uproar and,...finally, a counter impeachment procedure instituted by the the two houses against the president. The book’s uncontested star is ofcourse, the president; a Chief Ambrose Oneya, a caricature; sloppy, foul-mouthed chief executive whose only ways to do things was to stampede everyone into doing whatever he wanted done, done his way and who never believed, until he was humiliatingly humbled, that Nigerian and Nigeria as a c...

WHY WOMEN WON'T GO TO HEAVEN

By DUL JOHNSON 1. I want to start from the very beginning – the opening; What does a reader want in an opening? First is to have the writer introduce the main character(s) and intimate something about the situation she/they are in-i.e the conflict that will provide dramatic twine for the story; (2) to get us interested and involved; and (3) to do it all in a timely fashion, i.e. it stops being an opening as soon as possible and gets on with the story.... ‘WHY WOMEN WON’T MAKE IT TO HEAVEN’ succeeded in doing just that...it introduces us to the characters, showed us where they were, and showed that they’ve gotten concerns or problems. And it does all these in the first page; starting with a long paragraph and quick five short paragraphs. After this, the story is up and running as the conflicts between a husband and his wife, then similar issues between other husbands and their wives escalates with disastrous consequences. The second story is more leisurely, comparably. Reading throug...
