Cool and calm under pressure I would say...

The nation awaits these two public officers to deliver their mandate and they want it as soon as possible.

I appreciate their bravery though but we need to laugh just like you sirs

A reporter of www..net sent this in......


Read her wonderful story

Fatimah Ibrahim is a 39 year old widow, a mother of two, from Borno state. A chance encounter with her on the street would most certainly portray her as just one of the thousands of ordinary women walking the streets of Lagos. But meeting her at a building site would startlingly reveal the other side of her! This woman is a professional painter, tiler, and plumber! When asked how and why she entered into professions dominated by men, she had this to say,
“I have always loved painting .My friend’s husband who is a painter taught me how to paint, and I started painting even when my husband was alive. Later, I picked interest in tiling and plumbing profession, and I went for the training. Right now, after my husband’s death, I am proud to say I am a professional painter, tiler, and plumber. To me being a woman doesn’t really matter”

As must be expected, Fatimah is confronted with some challenges which centers mainly on gender disparity. “It’s been hard getting work. Some people give me jobs to do, and they are never disappointed; but others are just reluctant to trust me with their buildings, because they still find it difficult to believe the fact that a woman can do these jobs, and even do them better than men

"She called on the public and the government to give her contracts and test her level of capability. She also stressed that these were her means of livelihood. “I am a widow. I have two children aged 13 and 9.I am not begging the public for food, as I have been blessed with the means of providing for my children. All I am asking if for Individuals, contractors, Government to give me jobs so I can make money and take care of my children and other widows who are not so fortunate to have vocations like mine”

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State , Tuesday, redeemed his pledge to assist victims of recent tanker fire explosions in Iyana-Ipaja and Idimu Areas of the State with the distribution of cheques to 243 victims enumerated by the State government.


The Governor who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Oluranti Adebule at the cheque distribution event held at the Igando Rehabilitation Centre, Igando, urged the beneficiaries to utilise the government’s widow’s mite and return home to rehabilitate themselves as much they could. “We know that what government has given is not enough but with the belief that you are going to put it to judicious use, it would go a long way to help out. Please stay peaceful and remain focused”.




“We want to you to go back home and rehabilitate yourself as much as you could. The good Lord would continue to be with you. We pray not to witness this kind of incidence again. We share in your feelings and urge you to continue to give your support to this administration”, he said. He urged citizens to continue to be patient and join hands with his administration, adding that the government is going to be very responsive and has already demonstrated that by the financial assistance.


Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Dr Aderemi Desalu said from the Iyana Ipaja incident, 76 persons were recommended for financial assistance out which seven were landlords and got N500, 000 each. 64 others who were shop owners each got N150, 000, while five tricycle operators got N50, 000 each. Desalu said from the Idimu petrol tanker incident, a total of 369 were affected out of which 167 are adults.


“We brought members of that community to this camp. We had a total of 369 residents including children. They have been here for one month and would be departing very soon. 167 of them are adults. We recommended N50, 000 but the Governor magnanimously doubled what we recommended. Meanwhile, a Committee set up by Governor Ambode to examine the immediate and remote causes of the petrol tanker disasters witnessed last month has submitted its report.


The Committee chaired by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tunji Bello presented its report to the Governor on Tuesday at the Lagos House, Alausa Ikeja. It would be recalled that Governor Ambode in the wake of the Iyana Ipaja and Idimu petrol tanker explosion set up a fact finding committee with a charge on them to prepare guidelines for ethical conduct for tanker drivers, who were found culpable in the unfortunate incidents.


The committee was also expected to engage the insurance industry and work out appropriate policies expected to protect residents of the state from havoc in future tanker incidences in the state. In the report, the Committee made far reaching recommendations to the Governor on how to prevent reoccurrence of such disasters in future. Receiving the report, Governor Ambode promised to work on the recommendations, saying that the state government will take necessary steps to protect the live and property of its citizenry.


He said his administration does not subscribe to forcing down directives hence the decision to set up the committee with representatives of relevant stakeholders to fashion out preventive strategies against such occurrences.

Lagos state deputy governor, Dr Idiat Adebule today presented cheques to some of the victims of the fire incidents that occurred in Iyana Ipaja and Idimu area of Lagos state on June 2nd and June 6th respectively.

A reader of ours just sent these photos in from the scene of the blast at Kaduna.


It seems to contradict the governors claims that only 20 people were killed in the blast....


He reported to our correspondent in a shaking voice after the news broke that more than a 100 people were killed in the blast....


We await the official number from the concerned agency.....
