For years, these fine gentlemen cum journalists have exemplified the essence of altruism in their craft. Undeterred by the shifting tides of public opinion or political influence, their pursuit of truth has remained staunch. In an age where the race for likes and shares often compromises journalistic integrity, Messrs Adeniyi, Adio, Kolawole, and some of their peers have remained resolute in their commitment to delivering objective, very well-researched, and balanced opinions.
One of the hallmarks of their approach is their unwavering objectivity in criticism. Unlike some of their counterparts (and they abound) who succumb to the temptation of pandering to the mob or advancing some form of agenda, these journalists critique with precision and fairness. Their analyses are rooted in facts, devoid of sensationalism, bigotry or personal biases. Be it scrutinizing government policies or societal issues, they uphold the principles of journalistic ethics, providing some of us with insightful perspectives that transcend the noise of partisan bickering.
Segun Adeniyi, Waziri Adio and Simon Kolawole have long been voices of reason for eons.

Take a bow Sirs!
