The annual event tagged, Ogbomoso Cradles Carnival, is a unique event in the annals of Ogbomoso; there is no doubt it has affected the social fabrics of the town in a multidimensional way. This year’s is the third, and we can only hope for better packages every year. In view of this, there is always need for thorough planning, to achieve great execution. I believe the Central Planning Committee is up to the task as regards this.

Meanwhile, this humble write up is meant to advise the committee on the need to make the event all-inclusive and transparent especially in its finances. It has to be characterized by excellence and creativity, and prudence in the selection of those who are to take part in the various events. Promoting the traditional heritage of Ogbomoso and other communities in the zone (in a way) should top the agenda and be showcased.

The event should be made colourful and globalized in terms of publicity. The security arrangement should be superb and all security agencies adequately carried along and mobilized. Above all, loyalty to the cause of Ogbomoso as a town should be upheld as well as its people’s total submissiveness to the stool of Soun as the custodian of traditional authority of Ogbomosoland, under the hegemony of His Imperial Majesty Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye. This should be paramount and should strict guide everyone and be vehemently defended. This is to make sure that its aims and objectives, as entrenched in the 25-year Development Agenda of Oba Ghandi, are realized.
