The meeting got started through prayers by Pastor, Imam, and Traditionalist. 

Pastor Alaba Oladimeji from Redeem Christian Church of God, Province 58, the message was focused on “Unity” for peaceful coexistence, and prosperous commerce in the Ikorodu division. 

Imam Amokomowo, Fahdat Shelk Muritador in his message revealed the past statements within him and the late Iya’Oloja General in regards to “Unity” within the Ikorodu divisional marketeers.

Say, late Iya’Oloja General said in a meeting with him that if the Ikorodu divisional marketers refuse to come together as “One”, they should consider her not coming to the next meeting with them, not knowing she was not going to be alive even before their next marketers meeting.

Imam Amokomowo said this to recall the marketeers' consciousness to realize human existence on earth has a limited time fixed by the Almighty Allah. 

Chief Hameed Oroku, Baba Oloja general, Gberigbe & Orelade Market, traditionally prayed in support of the Newly Elected Ìyá'ọ́lọ́jà-General, CEO Busiq Fabrics, Chief Mrs. “Deaconess” Busola Elizabeth Isikalu to all marketers in Ikorodu for prosperous achievements of the Ikorodu divisional markets.

All market Chieftains of the Ikorodu division also expressed their intention for unity and support for their newly officially elected Ìyá'ọ́lọ́jà-General of Ikorodu division.

During Chief Mrs. “Deaconess” Busola's speech, said; “Our seating here today is in honour of her late Mother, who has nurtured and guided her on how trading and marketing works for prosperity, and regarding late Iya’Oloja general, Alhaja Taofikat Allinson”. She thereby requested a minute of silence for them, May their souls Rest in Peace, She said.

Finally, “I have Seven (7) Points Agenda” to work with that will attract and upgrade Ikorodu Commerce and Industry to a higher level. “Ikorodu must have a Big market house”, that will be from Commerce and industry” where marketers/traders will be buying at factory price.

Here are the Seven (7) Points Agenda, Visualized in regards to knowing their rights as marketers.

-

1. Peace, Unity, and Progress

2. Spiritual 

3. Transparency 

4. Transformation

5. Supportive 

6. Infrastructure 

7. Welfare

-

She examined each agenda for a better understanding of the Ikorodu Divisional Marketeers. CEO Busiq Fabrics therefore pleaded for “Peace, Unity, and Progress”.

Says, “When we live in Peace and Unity, Progress will automatically be attracted, and by then; they can successfully achieve all envisaged projects by the Ikorodu divisional marketeers. 

Transparency: 

Says, she will not condone any meeting after meeting to bend what has been considered and concluded to do in the uniform voice for selfish consumption. “If you know you are not reliable in terms of financial accountability and bookkeeping for record purposes, please don't bother to accept the position”, said Ìyá'ọ́lọ́jà General of the Ikorodu division. 

Contribution: 

Contributions in regards to political involvement, “Invest big to receive bundles in feedback”. We need to change the narrative of biscuit and sweet mentality, she urges the marketeers to command respect and honour for their representative. 

Infrastructure: 

Infrastructure in terms of the developmental exercise of the markets eg build a big commerce building in Ikorodu and progressively adding growth to the Ikorodu division at large.

Welfare: 

Welfare in terms of checking and taking good care of the retired-aged marketeers at home, doing nothing to generate income for living. Very important she said.

Spiritual:

Spiritual in terms of weekly or monthly prayer activities through Christianity, and Islamically in rotation she suggested. 

Says, there will be cabinet excos for the 7 Points Visualised agenda which will be selected among the market Chietains, members and actively involved people among the marketers.

In an interview with the Ìyá'ọ́lọ́jà General, Chief Mrs. “Deaconess” Busola Elizabeth Isikalu, said; the meeting place is for today alone, that their monthly subsequent meeting will be held in another location. Said thereby pleaded for sustainability Unity within the marketeers for their envisaged projects to be accomplished. 

In an interview with Baba-ọ́lọ́jà General, Ikorodu Division, Alhaji Jayesimi Wasiu Olamilekan, said; He is so tempted by the 7 Points Visualised Agenda by Ìyá'ọ́lọ́jà General, and that he will be available all the time to give his absolute support to Ìyá'ọ́lọ́jà General in other to make sure she attain the highlighted visioned agenda. 

Says, the monthly meeting location is not bad, but He would prefer they have another location as an office for the marketeers, and a monthly meeting place for proper coordination. Although the Big House for Ikorodu divisional marketeers has been projected, the more spacious place will accommodate more people during their monthly meetings.

He thereby urges the marketeers to work with the Ìyá'ọ́lọ́jà General in peaceful coexistence for the 7 Point visualized agenda to be achieved.
