Hosea Oladapo Ehinlanwo (born 2 August 1938) was elected Senator for the Ondo South constituency of Ondo State, Nigeria, taking office on 29 May 2003, and was reelected in 2007. He is a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Birth and early career

Ehinlanwo was born on 2 August 1938 in Erunna, Ilaje local government of Ondo State.
He gained a Bachelor of Law degree, barrister at law and a master’s degree in business administration, and worked as a legal practitioner.
Before entering politics his career activities included teaching, marketing manager, assistant general manager, university lecturer, personnel / administration manager as well as banker. He was the chairman of the now-defunct Ilaje/Ese-Odo Community bank Igbokoda.
His first foray into politics was a local government councillor in the then newly created Ilaje Ese Odo local government (1977–1979).

Senate election

Ehinlanwo was elected as Senator for Ondo South on the PDP ticket in April 2003.
In the PDP primaries before the 2007 elections it was alleged that Chief Olusola oke won.
However Ehinlanwo claimed that the primaries were massively rigged with the support and connivance of the then Governor of Ondo state, Olusegun Agagu and the selection process became the subject of litigation.
Ehinlanwo’s name was placed on the ballots. Oke protested but an Abuja High Court refused the protest and upheld Ehinlanwo as the elected PDP candidate. After the election, Oke again appealed and this time was upheld in court, and the question was taken to the Supreme Court for final judgement.
The supreme court upheld Ehinlanwo as the duly elected candidate and the supreme court judgement has become a landmark case in the interpretation of the Nigerian electoral act as it pertains to “Substitution of candidates”.

Senate career

In a mid-term evaluation of Senators in May 2009, ThisDay noted that Ehinlanwo had sponsored bills on National Water Resources Infrastructure and the National Welfare Commission.

Wanessa Camargo’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Wanessa Camargo Net Worth: Wanessa Camargo is a Brazilian pop singer who has a net worth of $20 million dollars. Born Wanessa Godói Camargo Buaiz on December 28, 1982 in Goiânia, Goiâs, she is the daughter of sertanejo/country singer Zezé Di Camargo from the duet Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano. Like many pop stars, Camargo is not only a singer but also a dancer and actress and her concerts tend to be highly choreographed. As a celebrity, she’s regularly featured on Brazilian television, but she’s also proven herself an accomplished actress, notably appearing as the character Diana on over two dozen episodes of the long-running TV series Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo. Her image is used to market numerous products in Brazil, particularly those targeted toward teenage girls. She’s a spokesperson for SOS Mata Atlântica, a non-governmental organization dedicated to preserving the Atlantic Forest. This effort was acknowledged by Nickelodeon, when they honored her with their 2007 Pro-Social Award. Camargo released her debut album in 2000, which spawned a trio of major hits: O Amor Não Deixa, Apaixonada por Você and Eu Posso Te Sentir. Two of the three hits (O Amor Não Deixa and Apaixonada por Você) were chart-toppers, hitting number one on the Hot 100 Brazil singles chart and the latter of the three was a Top Ten hit, reaching number nine. Apaixonada por Você was chosen to be the theme song of the Brazilian telenovela Um Anjo Caiu do Céu, further helping drive sales of the new pop star’s self-titled debut. Camargo’s style of music varies, often touching on dance, rock, country and forró, but is always slickly produced and basically rooted in pop. She relies heavily on music videos to accentuate her music and is appropriately an MTV favorite.
