Lagos state government gives explanation on why traffic gridlock is being experienced in the state

Posted: 23 Nov 2019 05:30 AM PST

The Lagos State Government has appealed to residents and motorists to bear with it over serious traffic currently being experienced in several parts of the metropolis.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, in a statement, said the gridlock was as a result of massive road repairs being carried out by the government, saying the situation was temporal.

The Lagos State Government has noted the discomfort commuters and motorists have been experiencing since the beginning of the massive road repairs under 'Operation 116' across the State.

There is no deliberate action to cause Lagosians any pain; the present situation is temporary. The contractors are speeding up their jobs and they are being encouraged to work at night where possible, even as motorists are being advised to use alternative routes.

The discomfort will be short-lived. The State government has directed the relevant agencies to review traffic control and regulation policies towards identifying a long-lasting remedy to the problem.

The daily influx of people from other parts of the country into Lagos has contributed to the big human and vehicular pressure on the roads. The government will surely surmount the challenges with technology and enforcement of traffic rules.

The Government appreciates the perseverance of Lagosians and pledges its commitment to pooling all its resources together to achieving a permanent solution to the problem posed by the rehabilitation of bad roads. The administration will ensure that majority of the roads become smooth and motorable before the Yuletide" he said

Governor Makinde withdraws crowns from 21 Ibadan ‘kings’ who were elevated by Ajimobi

Posted: 23 Nov 2019 04:30 AM PST

The lingering crises between the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Saliu Adetunji, and his High chiefs was put to rest on Tuesday, November 19th when the state government withdrew their crowns as part of the condition to settle out of court.

The Olubadan and some of his chiefs, among whom are the Otun Olubadan, Lekan Balogun, Balogun of Ibadan land, Owolabi Olakulehin and others who are also members of the Olubadan-In-Council had in the last two years been engaged in a conflict.

The crisis reached its peak in August 2017 when the immediate past governor, Abiola Ajimobi, presented staffs of office to about 21 chiefs who were promoted to the status of kings. Eminent personalities, indigenes of Ibadan, clubs and societies in the ancient city including former President Olusegun Obasanjo had tried to wade into the conflict but were unsuccessful.

The crisis was, however, laid to rest when Ajimobi's successor, Seyi Makinde, withdrew the crowns of the officials as part of the condition to settle out of court. It was gathered that the Court of Appeal in Ibadan had on August 23 this year referred parties in the controversial coronation to a lower court.

Makinde had opted for an out-of-court settlement to restore peace between the Olubadan and his estranged chiefs. The appellate court ordered that the case be returned for trial before another judge of the state High Court. But, the parties reached agreement on Tuesday when the state High Court in a suit number M/317/2017 filed by Rashidi Ladoja pronounced that the parties in the suit have met and agreed.

The judgement read by Justice A. Aderemi reads; "That all the gazettes affecting the chieftaincy laws of Ibadan land particularly gazette Nos 14 vol. 42 of 23rd August 2017;15 Vol 42of 24 August 2017 and 3vol 43 of 29th March 2018 and the subsequent elevation of High Chiefs and Baale in Ibadan land as Obas during the pendency of this suit be and are hereby set aside.

"That the right to wear beaded crown and coronet granted by the state government during the pendency of the suit, are hereby revoked.

"That the 1st defendant shall take steps to reconcile all parties involved in the chieftaincy matters to foster unity and harmony in the protection of the tradition of Ibadan land as relates to the chieftaincy laws of Ibadan land."

Why people marry the wrong partners

Why people marry the wrong partners

It is important for men and women to avoid marrying the wrong persons. This is because if you make the mistake of marrying someone who is wrong for you, you will be living on hell on earth.

People marry the wrong persons all of the time. You probably know a couple that should not be together. You see them and wonder what brought them together in the first place. You begin to imagine how they live and go through life together.

So, it can be surprising to see many people who are clearly incompatible or unhappy decide to get married and enter into marriage. It's not like they have to get married but for reasons best known to them, they decide to commit to the wring people for life.

While it is clear that not everybody is emotionally stable, independent and secure to be married, it is important to understand why some people marry the wrong persons......READ MORE>>>

How Dickson handed power to APC

It was the literary icon, Professor Chinua Achebe of blessed memory who wrote in his epic novel, 'Things Fall Apart' that "Those whose palm kernels have been broken for them by benevolent spirits must not forget to be humble," and if there is one man whose palm kernels were broken for him by benevolent spirits, it is incumbent Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson.

The routing of the ruling Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) in the November 16, 2019, governorship election in Bayelsa State by the opposition, All Progressive Congress (APC) marked a watershed.

It signifies the end and beginning of a new area in the political annals of in the state.

Interestingly, the APC which was repeatedly taunted by the ruling party in the build up to the poll as lacking the needed presence and structure to make any significant impact has turned around to dislodge the latter from Creek Haven, the romantic name for the seat of power in the predominantly riverine state where politics has remained the only thriving industry.......READ MORE>>>

A report by The Nation indicates that the role played by former President Goodluck Jonathan to back the All Progressives Congress (APC) and help influence their victory at the just concluded governorship election in Bayelsa has divided the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Nigerian Bishop Sam Zuga says upcoming UNN witchcraft conference will never hold

Posted: 23 Nov 2019 12:30 AM PST

A Nigerian cleric identified as Bishop Zam Zuga, has come out to react to the news of a witchcraft conference set to hold in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).

In a post shared on Facebook, Zuga expressed that as long as God is still alive, and he is also alive, the academic conference can never take place.

According to him, other nations are holding conference to move the development of their countries forward, but what is obtainable in Nigeria is academic experts coming together for a witchcraft conference.


"As long as God is alive and I am alive.This conference can't hold. When Nations are holding digital conferences to advance technology, Nigeria professors are busy organizing international conference to teach witchcraft," his post read.

Speaking further, Zuga made a reference to the Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC), that held in 1977. According to him, holding the festival in the country resulted into an influx of witches into the country.

He said: "What brought poverty in Nigeria is the FESTAC which Obasanjo use Nigeria money to organized, instead of advancing technology at that time with abundant oil money, he rather invited witches all over Africa to Nigeria, Many of them came for FESTAC and refused to go back to their countries. "That is why God became angry with Nigeria and we become one of the poorest countries of the world."
