Governor Adeleke Opens Rehabilitated Government House, Says Upgrading State Assets is a Policy.

Governor Ademola Adeleke on Saturday afternoon opened the newly rehabilitated Government House at Osogbo with top officials and dignitaries joining the Governor for inspection of the facilities, prayers and commissioning.

The rehabilitation covers the main house, the completion of an abandoned multi-bedroom Guest House, remodeling of many of the structures, refixing of many derelict facilities and facelift of the entire Government House.

Accompanied by the Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi; the House Speaker, Hon Adewale Egbedun; the Secretary to the State Government, Hon Teslim Igbalaye; the Chief of Staff, Hon Kazeem Akinleye and members of the State Executive Council, Governor Adeleke officially moved into the Government House amidst prayers and heavy rain across Osogbo yesterday.

Clerics across the faiths were on ground to offer prayers and bless the House while top leaders presented goodwill messages.

Addressing the dignitaries in a short programme, the Governor said his administration is committed to upgrading state assets irrespective of whether such programmes are inherited or commenced by him.

“ I have upgraded the Government House just as I rehabilitated the Governor’s office. We ensured the Government House  is rescued from the open neglect we inherited. You can all see the upgraded facilities which now places our state in good stead in the comity of states.

“I met an abandoned Guest House where top dignitaries can be hosted instead of huge bills on outside accommodation. I ordered its rehabilitation and today it is completed. The presidential Lodge I met on the ground was in a terrible state. Our team fixed it.

“Our administration is passionate about upgrading state assets because they are for generations even yet unborn. We must act genuinely on the mantra that government is a continuum. Abandoning projects or state assets as Osun witnessed in recent past is a sign of bad leadership

THE CAMP HOST is a new TUBI Original and it’s a classic slasher movie. The title is already an indication of this, but the main characters aren’t teenagers this time around.

They’re an adult couple, who are struggling with being adults. Well, and then there’s the title character who is quite intriguing. And quite violent when her rules aren’t being followed.

I haven’t gone camping much, though I can see the appeal as well as the drawbacks. So can the two main characters of The Camp Host. However, the actual camping goes over pretty well in terms of experiencing nature.

Sure, the facilities and cellphone reception could be better, but it is in the middle of the woods so what would you expect?!

What you surely would not expect when lodging at an idyllic campground, is that the the owner (aka The Camp Host herself) would turn out to be a psychopathic killer. Yet that’s exactly what this movie is all about.

Despite knowing who the killer is, she is still one terrifying individual.

While the poster makes The Camp Host look like a very shoddy horror movie, the actual movie has a higher production value than I’d ever expected. In fact, it’s both a classic slasher and an interesting eco-thriller that looks at how we work with and against nature.

The stars of this movie are Rachel Colwell (Resident Alien, Warrior) and Dillon Casey (Another Life) as the married couple trying to find each other and themselves while traveling cross country in a van.

The title character is portrayed by Brooke Johnson, who delivers an insanely entertaining villain, who actually has a reason for what she does. It may not be a good reason, but it’s certainly one that goes deeper than your typical slasher.

More along the lines of Annie Wilkes in Misery than any Vorhees in Friday the 13th. Speaking of the latter, Brooke Johnson was actually in Friday the 13th: The Series.

Watch The Camp Host on TUBI now!
The Camp Host is written and directed by Henry Darrow McComas and this is his first feature as a director. Something that bodes very well indeed for his future projects. The story, acting, and overall production are impressive, resulting in a very entertaining movie.

This latest TUBI Original is a MarVista production, and we know from extensive knowledge of these productions that it can go either way. Fortunately for horror and slasher fans, this is definitely one of the better movies.

If you want to watch a new slasher movie that actually has a story with some depth, then check out The Camp Host. It doesn’t go on for too long with its 95-minute runtime, and it’s definitely worth your time.

The Camp Host is streaming on Tubi from March 16, 2024.

Ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Rachel Edward has advised ladies against dating a man who earns N800,000 or less monthly, especially in Lagos.

According to her, such a salary isn’t sufficient to cater for a woman.

She emphasised that the salary can’t afford more than a wig.

On her X handle, the reality star wrote, “As a lady, you can’t settle for a man with N800,000 as salary in lagos. One wig and your man’s salary is finished baby girl.”

Her post elicited mixed reactions.

@OmotayoOfLagas said, “Out of every productive thing you can think of its wig that comes to your brain, no investment plan or idea on how the N800,000 can multiply in few month, just wigs, vibes and insha Allah, later you will come and be foaming in the mouth that men are not taking you serious.”

@DianaBest opined, “Let be sincere, N800,000 salary is too small now. Ahbi am I the one over reacting to it?

“What will N800,000 do for you in this economy? That money is too small.”

@LonelyAfrica added, “Want those luxe wigs and more? Get a job. It’s better to invest in sth meaningful instead of stockpiling wigs. Build empires with your partners, not just hair collections. After all, the best accessory is financial savvy paired with mutual support.”
