“Why MASA Isonyin Marathon (MIM)?”- Muideen Adegboyega Salami, Phd

MIM is a youth development programme designed to discover and develop local talents, especially in Ijebu North East Local Government and Ogun State generally, and expose them to the national and international sports’ arena.

I initiated MIM to promote positive outcomes, grow positive relationships among youth, and provide opportunities to build world-class talents.

MIM is a platform designed to offer upcoming long-distance runners the opportunities to run, learn, and grow by interacting with professional runners – inspiring them to identify their potential and achieve their dreams.

MIM is a means to enhance endurance, physical fitness, and good health and reduce idleness and anti-social behavior in youth.

Our youth needs adequate stamina to withstand the Alps and obstacles in their competitive world.

The program would inculcate a good attitude towards physical fitness, promote good health in our youth, and create an avenue to engage their youthful exuberant.

MIM will encourage and build the “spirit of good sportsmanship” among our youth – a phenomenon that is entirely lacking in our political class. Isonyin – the “land of honey” and venue of this event, is a source of inspiration to many people, including my humble self. This event, which will become an annual event, is a means of giving back to my community, promoting Isonyin, and providing enjoyment and entertainment, especially during the Easter period.

My Husband’s Family Never Fully Accepted Me: Serena Williams

In a recent candid interview, tennis legend and global icon Serena Williams opened up about a deeply personal struggle she’s long kept private — and it left the world in stunned silence.

With quiet strength, she revealed:

“I know my husband loves me. He always has.
But what most people don’t know is… his family never fully accepted me.
Not because of who I am — but because of the color of my skin.”

The confession hit hard. Serena — a 23-time Grand Slam champion, businesswoman, mother, and advocate — sat calmly, but her words carried the weight of years of quiet pain.

She explained that from the earliest days of her relationship with tech billionaire Alexis Ohanian, she sensed subtle distance from some of his family members. The cold stares. The polite but dismissive comments. The silence that spoke louder than words.

“At first, I told myself I was imagining it. That I needed to try harder.
But eventually… it became impossible to ignore.”

Despite Alexis’s unwavering support and love, Serena admitted that the emotional toll of never truly being welcomed by his inner circle was something she carried silently — for years.

“I’ve broken records. I’ve won titles. I’ve built my life from nothing.
But in their eyes… I was still ‘not quite enough’ for their son.
And I know exactly why.”

She wasn’t sharing this story out of bitterness, she clarified. She was speaking up for every woman of color who’s ever walked into a room and felt they didn’t belong — not because of their behavior or their achievements, but because of something they were born with.

“I want to be clear — I’m proud of who I am.
And I no longer chase the approval of people who were never willing to see my worth.
My value doesn’t depend on anyone’s comfort with my Blackness.”

The interview closed in silence, then thunderous applause. Not because Serena is a superstar. But because she voiced a quiet reality so many endure behind closed doors — one of exclusion, of pain hidden behind smiles, and of battles fought where no trophies are given.

She didn’t ask for sympathy. She didn’t name names. She simply spoke the truth — and in doing so, gave others the courage to do the same.

Your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth.
