Frank Olurunsola Reporting 

 A Pioneer in Geophysics and GIS in Africa.

Dr. Kuforijimi Olorunsola's journey from a small town in Ekiti State to becoming a leading expert in Geophysics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a testament to his dedication, expertise, and vision. His work has not only advanced scientific understanding but has also had significant practical impacts across Nigeria and beyond.

Early Life and Education

Born and raised in Isan-Ekiti, a quaint town in Ekiti State, Nigeria, Dr. Olorunsola's academic journey began at the University of Ado Ekiti (now Ekiti State University) where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Geology. Demonstrating leadership early on, he served as the student Public Relations Officer for the Faculty of Science. Recognizing the burgeoning importance of Information Technology, he further pursued professional training and certifications in ICT.

Professional Beginnings and GIS Focus

In 2007, Dr. Olorunsola started his professional career as an Oracle Faculty at Meridian Technology, Maryland, Lagos. His expertise quickly caught the attention of Sivan Design D.S Ltd, where he was appointed as a GIS Project Manager. In this role, he was pivotal in pioneering Nigeria's first state GIS project in Kaduna State, significantly enhancing the Land and Property Information Management System.

Academic Advancements

Dr. Olorunsola's academic thirst did not end with his initial degrees. In 2010, he embarked on a Master’s degree in Applied Geophysics at the Federal University of Technology, Minna. His unique geology background enabled him to complete the program in record time, producing a groundbreaking thesis on geothermal prospectivity in central Nigeria. This research involved sophisticated GIS technology to analyze and visualize complex maps, a skill he would refine further in his subsequent doctoral research.

PhD and Groundbreaking Research

Pursuing a PhD in Geophysics at the University of Benin, Dr. Olorunsola conducted the first-ever geothermal assessment using radiometric data in Nigeria. His dissertation showcased advanced GIS applications, synthesizing multiple datasets to address complex spatio-temporal challenges. This research not only contributed to academic knowledge but also provided practical solutions for geothermal energy exploration in Nigeria.

Professional Contributions and Leadership

Throughout his career, Dr. Olorunsola has managed and contributed to numerous GIS projects across various Nigerian states, including Anambra, Bayelsa, Niger, and Kaduna. His role in the development and implementation of the Niger State Geographic Information System (NIGIS) underlines his capability and leadership. NIGIS, which started as a project and evolved into a fully-fledged agency, stands as a model of successful GIS implementation in public administration.

Publications and Academic Contributions

Dr. Olorunsola's scholarly contributions are well-recognized in the scientific community. He has authored and co-authored numerous high-impact journal articles, addressing topics from geothermal heat flow potential to the application of geophysical methods in groundwater investigation. His publications have provided valuable insights and advanced the field of geophysics, particularly in the context of Nigeria's geological landscape.

Memberships and Professional Affiliations

Dr. Olorunsola is an active member of several prestigious professional associations, including the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI) and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG). His affiliations with these organizations demonstrate his commitment to staying at the forefront of scientific and technological advancements in his field.

Dr. Kuforijimi Olorunsola's career is marked by a series of pioneering achievements and contributions to geophysics and GIS. His work has had a profound impact on the understanding and practical application of geospatial data in Nigeria. As a researcher, educator, and project manager, Dr. Olorunsola exemplifies the spirit of innovation and dedication. His journey from Isan-Ekiti to becoming a renowned expert in his field serves as an inspiration to aspiring scientists and professionals everywhere.

Dr. Kuforijimi Olorunsola is happily married to his lovely wife with children.

Falana SAN Replies Army Chief: It’s Wrong To Say Nigerians Have No Right To Bear Army

Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has criticized Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, for his remarks expressing his disapproval of the freedom of people to bear weapons, arguing that it is inaccurate to claim that Nigerians have no such right. He made this comment following coordinated attacks on Plateau state during the Yuletide by assailants. “I do not support that. I think that is a call for anarchy,” the Army chief said on Sunday in an interview on Channels Television. However, Falana responded to the army chief’s remarks in a Wednesday interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Breakfast. Falana said: “In the first place, it is not correct to say Nigerians have no right to bear arms, Apart from the fact that the penal code applicable in the North and the criminal code applicable in the South recognises the right to self-defence. “In the first place, we have to discuss the rights and proceed to examine the propriety. In other words, if someone aims a gun at me, and I can quickly grab another gun, I have the right to shoot.” When asked to clarify if the law allows for one to bear guns, Falana noted that one needs a gun licence. However, Falana called for caution regarding what the constitution mandates when it comes to self-defence. Falana said: “I am just saying the right to self -defence which is also guaranteed by the constitution. “All I am not allowed to do is not use a force that is not proportional to the threat. In other words, if you are going to hit me with a cane I must not go for a gun which is not proportional. Falana’s endorsement of citizens’ rights to bear guns coincides with several legislators and governors pleading with the federal government to permit its residents to defend themselves against attacks by robbers and terrorist organizations.

WHERE IS THE CHANGE!!! DONALD TRUMP INSULTS NIGERIA ADMINISTRATION

WHERE IS THE CHANGE!!! DONALD TRUMP INSULTS NIGERIA ADMINISTRATION

 Donald Trump, a front-line US presidential contender blast Nigeria for claiming to be giant of Africa.  One of The highest producer of crude oil in Africa without nothing tangible to show for it. 56 years after independence, Nigerian leaders still can’t deliver

“ordinary” electricity, water, home-refined petroleum products, transportation – road, rail, water and air – infrastructure.

Here’s a quote from Donald Trump, a front-line US presidential contender:

“Look at African countries like Nigeria or Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries.

From the government to the opposition, they only qualify to be used as a case study whenever bad examples are required.

How do you trust even those who have run away to hide here in the United States, hiding behind education? I hear they abuse me in their blogs but I don’t care because even the internet they are using is ours and we can decide to switch it off from this side.

These are people who import everything including matchsticks.

In my opinion, most of these African countries [like Nigeria] ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self-governance.”

Butswat said the police was on the trail of those behind the incident. “On the 7/1/2016, at about 0405hrs, unknown persons detonated an object suspected to be dynamite in the compound of Hon Kombowei Benson, at Korokorosei community,” Butswat said in a statement.

The impact resulted to damage to the doors, windows and glasses in his residence. Nobody was injured and no life was lost.

The scene was visited and a team of Explosive ordnance Disposal unit (EOD) is conducting post blast Investigations. Efforts have been intensified to arrest the culprits.”

Benson, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has blamed the attack on his political opponents. Speaking on a radio programme in Yenagoa, capital of the state, the lawmaker said he was alerted on the attack through telephone.

I was asleep in my house in Yenagoa when my wife’s phone rang and we recieved a message was that they have thrown dynamite into my house,” he said.

It’s not unexpected because they have promised to assassinate me or my family members.”

There is tension in parts of the state ahead of Saturday’s rerun election in Southern Ijaw and some polling units across Bayelsa.
