The Haastrup Story Oba Fredrick Kumokun Adedeji Haastrup, Ajimoko 1, was the 34th Oba of Ijesha land. He was from the Bilaro royal families of Ilesha. History has it that he was captured by the Ilorins at the age of 14 c.1820s-30s and was sold into Slavery, He was transferred from one slave market to another, finally reaching the coast where he was put on a slave ship chained to other slaves, fortunately, the ship was intercepted by the British Man O' war marines who diverted the slave ship to Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, the young Kumokun met a CMS missionary by name Niels Christian Haastrup, who took a liking in him, Kumokun became his ward and was later Baptized taking the name Fredrick Haastrup. After nearly three decades, he returned home first arriving in Lagos and later in Ijeṣaland to re-establish contact with his Ijeṣa royalty. In Lagos, he acquired large tracts of property which became known as Igbó Obį Haastrup, contracted to the present day Igbobį, at Ibeju Lekki where he cultivated Kola-nuts on a commercial scale. His business interests meant he often took ship up and down the waterways trading in dry fish and other commodities. On one of these journeys, he was instrumental in steering the vessel to safety. He described himself as steering the ship in the manner of a caucasian: Ajimọkọ bi oyinbo. He became popular in Ijéṣaland during the Kiriji wars when he was a member of the Ekiti parapo solidarity group in Lagos. The organization supplied arms to Ijeṣa warriors who were at war with Ibadan. He was later pivotal in advising the Owá (King) during peace negotiations with the British and Ibadan that brokered the end of hostilities. In April 1896, when he was well into his seventies, Frederick Kúmókụn Haastrup became the Owá Obokun of Ijeṣaland and took the title Ajimọkọ I (derived from his nickname: 'Ajimọkọ bi Oyinbo'), though he was the first Christian Ọba of Yoruba land. He died on September 1, 1901. #haastrup #ijesha #owa #owaobokun #ajimoko @highlight

Hello Cowrium Enthusiast, I wanted to address a few questions that have come up recently. Regarding Cowrium: We are currently updating our portal and have taken full control and ownership of the .com domain. As a result, we are transitioning our primary domain from cowrium.net to cowrium.com. This process will take some time, so we will maintain both domains for now, with all activities on .net being redirected to .com. To access your dashboard, please visit cowrium.com and click on "Login," or go directly to dashboard.cowrium.com. We are working on the platform update and will keep you informed once it's complete. For those excited about our takeover of #cointagion: We share your enthusiasm! We have tidied up all necessary, but we still have a final tripartite financial commitment to our partners. This will determine how quickly the exchange can fully operate under our leadership. For our Nigerian community: We have great news! While the exchange is registered in the Caribbean Islands, we can now also register it in Nigeria as its African Regional Hub. Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Nigeria began the official registration of cryptocurrency exchanges and custodians. This is a significant victory and fantastic news for everyone in Nigeria. Additionally: We have fully implemented the minting capabilities of Cowrium on Xclusive Items. Upon the re-launch of Xclusive Items, expected very soon, starting with Nigeria, shoppers will be able to earn Cowrium (CWR) as they shop. We are also working on implementing it as a means of payment, which should be possible in the new year. Stay tuned for more exciting updates. Thank you for your patience and continuous support. Yours in service, Emmanuel Haastrup (Ceah) Founder / Chief Conductor #Itakun | #Cowrium | #XclusiveItems

The Had I Known Clause: Sacrifice and the Future Once, a wise man declared that the future belongs only to those who can foresee it and are willing to sacrifice present pleasures to attain it. I love reading stories about people I admire and those I don’t. The former teaches me what to do and how to do it, while the latter shows me what to avoid and how not to do things. Today, I’ll share a story about Ronald Wayne, one of Apple’s co-founders, whose choices shaped his destiny. In 1976, Ronald Wayne joined forces with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak to create Apple Computers (now Apple Inc.). Wayne contributed significantly—he designed the first Apple logo, drafted the original partnership agreement, and even wrote the Apple I Operations Manual. Remarkably, he held a 10% share in the company. However, Wayne faced a pivotal decision: he sold his 10% stake back to Jobs and Wozniak for $800, just 12 days after Apple's official registration. A year later, he accepted an additional $1,500 to forfeit any future claims against the company. His reason? The financial demands were too much for him at the time. Fast forward to today: Apple has become the first trillion-dollar company. If Wayne had held onto his 10% share, he would be worth over $100 billion—the richest or second-richest person globally. Instead, he received a mere $9,498 in 2017 for his initial investment. Ronald Wayne's story teaches us that lasting value requires sacrifice. Greatness doesn't emerge from convenience; it begins with today's sacrifices. Whether it's living in a modest apartment to own an estate or riding a tricycle to pave the way for a Rolls Royce, the path to the future demands commitment. Wayne's decision still echoes—a painful reminder of missed opportunities. Imagine if he had persisted. Today, he's worth around $300,000, while the agreement he drafted sells for millions. His story underscores the importance of foresight and determination. So, my counsel to you: - **Invest** where you see a future. - **Sacrifice** when necessary. - **Endure** hardships for lasting rewards. - **Persist** in your pursuit of greatness. Remember the "Had I Known Clause." The future belongs to those who foresee it and give their all to reach it. And always keep in mind: **"Greatness in life is not a product of convenience—it takes sacrifice."** For more about Ronald Wayne, you can explore [this Wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Wayne).

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since my last update, and I appreciate your patience. I previously mentioned some exciting news, but I had to delay sharing it due to ongoing developments. I'm pleased to report progress on our collaborations with Mad-O Projects, particularly #Cointagion. As you know, we've been supporting external projects like Cointagion by providing mintable CWR and hosting them on our decentralized Mad-O Cloud Server. Despite initial challenges, the Cointagion team has made significant strides, and I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Cointagion 2.0! However, the exit of one partner has created a vacuum, requiring a restructuring of the ecosystem. After careful consideration, it's been suggested that I or #Cowrium take the reins, with the remaining partners continuing as technical partners. This decision comes with significant financial, technical, and managerial responsibilities. While this presents a challenge, I'm excited about the potential for Cowrium to play a more central role in the Cointagion ecosystem. As you know we only have full control of the P2P aspect of Cointagion but now we would the whole Cointagion Ecosystem which include spot, futurz and other aspects.. I'll provide a detailed briefing on Cointagion 2.0 soon. For now, let's celebrate this milestone while working together to meet the responsibilities ahead. Thank you for your unwavering support. Yours InService, Emmanuel Haastrup Founder/Chief Conductor, Cowrium

Paradigm Shift: Rethinking Riches and Health Did you know that organic food in Africa is often cheaper than fast food, a Western import? Meanwhile, in the West, Organic options most times are more expensive than fast food. Yet, we crave the very foods that contribute to illnesses and diseases plaguing our world. My own journey across the globe has seen a shift from excitement over Nando's and Starbucks to preferring humble mamak stores. I've traded KFC in Dubai for organic eats in hidden gems. In Africa, you can plant organic food without a license, while in some Western places, you still need permission to grow your own. What we enjoy for a fraction of the cost in Africa is a luxury in the West. What we enjoy in Africa for a dime is a fortune in the west. You are rich with a little in Africa but Poor with so much in the West. This made me question: what does being rich or poor truly mean? Is it about abundance or scarcity? Let's redefine our values and prioritize health, community, and the environment.

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that those who were unable to log into Itakun after the Cowrium Mad-O Ecosystem Server decentralization can now do so. During the complex process a few months ago, we encountered some technical issues that led to the unfortunate situation. However, the system is now fully operational, although a few pictures might still be missing. This decentralization of the Cowrium Mad-O SERVER is unprecedented and deserves commendation. A major advantage is that it will prevent unforeseen shutdowns like the recent global system outage by Microsoft. Let's log into our accounts now to connect, share, network, and earn as we socialize.

A Decade of Longing for Caroline Denadi Haastrup In disbelief, I wander, lost in time The emptiness of dinner, a heart that's not aligned The cruel fate of growing up, a painful sight Watching loved ones fade, with each passing night Your departure, a shock that took its toll Six months passed, before the pain took its role I was your shining star, your pride and delight You trusted me fully, in the dark of night Your words still echo, a memory so dear "Ade will never stray, I've guided him clear" But fate had other plans, and took you away from me At 66, your journey ended, far too soon to stay Ten years have passed, yet lingering grief remains Longing to see you again, to ease the pains Caroline Denadi Haastrup Nee Hundeyin, dear Your memory lives on, forever near Until we meet again, in a brighter place Your family still acknowledges your peaceful nature, Your Earthly Partner savors your memory and still reminisces And your children hold your memory in grace. Your First Fruit Emmanuel Haastrup (Ceah) #denadi #caroline #haastrup #gonetoosoon

Hello all, Today, we celebrate a milestone in Itakun's journey as a social media platform. Exactly one year ago, we debuted online, and three months later, we officially launched on October 1st, 2023. Our vision was conceived two years prior, and we've since grown organically, testing our strengths and capacities. As we begin to explore inorganic growth, we're committed to strategic planning and execution, aware that thorough foundations are crucial to success. We're building a business that will transcend generations, learning from others' failures. We also officially launched our crowdfunding campaign today, marking the first phase of our fundraising journey however strictly with families, friends and close acquaintances. I'm thrilled to say that Itakun has surpassed our expectations and stands out as our most successful project to date, among the Cowrium Mad-O initiatives. While I may have a personal bias (towards itakun) as co-leader of both organizations, I believe our dedication and hard work on this project have made it truly shine. We poured our hearts into Itakun, and it shows! #Itakun has evolved from a beacon of traditional family values to a robust digital ecosystem, soon to offer a public email service, AI-powered messaging, and more. We're pioneering industry-first features, integrating Blockchain and AI technologies for a distinctive user experience. We are also looking into the area of infrastructure beyond the cloud in our future endeavor. For us - Impossibility is Nothing. Join us in celebrating this digital revolution. Rejoice with us as we shape the future of social interaction.
