these renumerations are not enough to feed their dogs not to talk of taking it home.its a grand deception. i wonder who they are fooling. to prove their points. FG should enforce strict compliance of spending and living within salary so as to see who really wants to work. this will distract thieves. |

Former Inspector General of Police, Alhaji Musiliu Smith, has been appointed as chairman of the Lagos State Security council. Governor Babatunde Fashola named Smith as head of the security council during its inauguration this morning. Those to work with the former police boss as members of the security council include Mr. Bashir Azeez, the state police commissioner, and Alhaji Amao, the state director of the State Security Service (SSS). Other members of the council include Muiz Banire, former Transportation Commissioner in the state, Young Arebamen, a former police commissioner, the eight area commanders of the police in Lagos State, and Brigade Commanders of the Army, Airforce and Navy. Governor Fashola, while inaugurating the council, said he was worried at the rising activities of criminals and crime rate in the Lagos metropolis. The governor therefore charged the council to rise to the occasion. “How can a few people (criminals) hold a population of 18 million people to ransom?” he queried. Smith, the council’s chairman, in his acceptance speech, thanked the governor for the confidence he reposed in them in giving them the all-important job and pledged their commitment. |
As our headline, which is the title of a novel suggests, the lid was blown off the corrupt three-year administration of the former Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Sunday Ehindero, yesterday when a police commissioner and others were arrested with millions of naira in a luggage. Apart from confirming the scandal, the new police hierarchy led by Mr. Mike Okiro, also ordered the detention of the police officer and other aides of the former IGP arrested in connection with the loot. P.M.News investigations revealed that the drama started when a police aide of Ehindero was arrested when he went into the IGP’s office and brought out a travel bag said to belong to Ehindero. The new IGP, Mike Okiro, who was in the office at the time, was said to have ordered that the bag be searched. On searching the bag, millions of naira in both local and foreign currencies, worth N27 million, were allegedly found in it. On interrogation, the aide confessed to Okiro that it was Ehindero who asked him to bring the bag and that the money belonged to the former police boss. The arrested aide also reportedly identified other police officers keeping various sums of police money in their offices. This revelation led to the arrest of the Commissioner of Police in charge of Budget, Mr. Sunday Obaniyi, who was reportedly found stuffing millions of naira in local and foreign notes worth N200 million into a box in his office. Obaniyi allegedly confessed during interrogation that the money belonged to Ehindero and he was immediately taken to Okiro who ordered his detention. Those arrested are currently being detained on the 7th floor of the Louis Edet Police Headquarters in Abuja. Police sources told P.M.News that the new police boss, Okiro, was particularly irked that Ehindero left behind N4 million in the police account only for him to send some officer to cart away millions of naira. Investigations revealed further that Ehindero waited this late to remove his loot from his office because he never thought he could be removed so hastily by the Yar’Adua administration. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was said to have assured him that Yar’Adua had granted him a two-month tenure extension but was shocked when Yar’Adua asked him to hand over to the next senior police officer. Sources at the police headquarters in Abuja described Ehindero as another police officer worse than the disgraced former Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun. The song on the lips of many policemen interviewed this morning on the startling revelations was ‘Oga na thief man’. P.M.News reports that Ehindero’s two-year tenure as police boss was characterised by massive corruption and unresolved assassinations. It was during his tenure that Engineer Funsho Williams, a PDP chieftain in Lagos, was killed by unknown assassins. Up till now, the police are yet to bring the killers to book. Ehindero also made questionable promotions in the force while he held sway. |

True to expectations, Senator David Bonaventure. Alakhenu Mark, from Benue South, this afternoon emerged as the sixth Senate President in this 4th Republic, beating former Governor George Akume to the exalted seat. At the end of the more than three hours exercise, mark scored 68 votes to beat Akume who scored 39 votes. One of the senators-elect (Chimaraoke Nnamani) was absent while another abstained. Mark, the consensus candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was nominated by Senator Lee Maeba from Rivers State. His nomination was seconded by the only Accord Party Senator, Patrick Osakwe. The election, which was televised live, showed senators-elect signifying their choice by standing up for their candidate. At the end of the exercise, it was obvious that Senator Mark had carried the day. Before the election, security was tight within and outside the National Assembly as thousands of supporters and well-wishers of the lawmakers were denied entry into the complex. The police had a difficult time keeping the crowd at bay. The immediate past governor of Niger State, Engineer Abudlkadir Kure, was among the visitors denied entry into the complex. The former governor, whose wife is among the new senators, was denied access into the gallery where important guests sat, by the sergeant-at-arm. The sergeant-at-arm sent him back because he had no invitation card to attend the ceremony. Guests at the ceremony included former governors, senators, ministers and traditional rulers. |
Breaking News : Tanker Drivers Punish Lagosians, Commuters Stranded Posted by admin on 2007/6/5 17:13:21 (279 reads) By Ayodele Lawal Lagos commuters have been going through a difficult time. Getting to their destinations has become tough due to the scarcity of fuel caused by the refusal of oil tanker drivers to lift oil from the depots. The three-day-old strike by oil tanker drivers is beginning to take its toll on Lagosians. Several commuter vehicle operators have parked their buses while the few available ones have increased their fares by as much as 80 percent. A journey from Ikorodu to Ojota, which used to cost N50 is now N80 while a trip from Ogba to Ojota, which used to cost N40, is now N70 and a trip from Ogba to Ojuelegba which was N100 is now N120. A bus ride from Ogba to Obalende-CMS which was N120, is now N150 and the fare for Ogba to Iyana Ipaja which was N50, is now N70. Ogba to Oshodi which was N50 is now N70. P.M.News checks revealed that the price of fuel has increased by as much as 20%. A litre of petrol which officially sold for N75 per litre now goes for between N100 and N110. Okada riders are now making brisk business as they have also hiked their fares per trip. Most of the operators now prefer long distance trips to make more money. Vehicles were seen on long queues this morning at the few petrol stations which had the product. Following the scarcity of petrol, black market operators are having a field day as they now sell a 4-litre container of petrol for N500, making N200 profit, while a 50-litre gallon goes for N5,000 instead of N3,250. The black market rate is way above the newly introduced official rate of N75 a litre. |

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: "Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen." God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, Drove them to school, and stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the checkbook. Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the chops and snapped fresh beans for dinner. After dinner, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint. The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, "Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all ! day. Please, oh please, let us trade back." The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way They were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night." |
@ topic: Are you detailed about your spouse? |
got this from a friend, i think im guilty of this Please read to the end!!!!! For all those Married, Dating or thinking of marriage out there!!! When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, Instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, she had lost my heart to Dew. I did'nt love her anymore, I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now. The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I did'nt have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again. In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we should both struggle to live a normal life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a months time and she did'nt want to disrupt him with our broken marriage. This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door every morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request. I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office. On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on My chest, I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realised she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I Had done to her. On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me, , she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, it was just like our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I had'nt noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office, jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind, I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore. She looked at me, astonished. Then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring. Probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realise that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart. The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank, blah, blah, blah. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage! If you do share this, you just might save a marriage. |
even at N75 per litre in Lagos you still need to fight and keep vigil at filling stations to get the damn fuel |
LAGOS — AS Nigerians continue to grapple with the effects of the recent increase in the prices of petroleum products, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a 14-day ultimatum backed with a plethora of demands to President Umaru Yar’Adua. Top of the demands is the reversal of increase in fuel prices and VAT or face industrial action. Already, another round of fuel scarcity looms in Lagos and other cities of the South-West following the emergence of long queues, while in Port Harcourt and Yenagoa, petrol was sold above N150 per litre in filling stations yesterday. In Lagos, filling stations monitored were either closed to customers or had long queues of vehicles to attend to on account of the protracted issue of parking space between the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG) and the Presidential Task Force on roads de-congestion. NLC issues ultimatum Specifically, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) asked President Yar’Adua to reverse the last increase in petroleum products within two weeks; reduce the Value Added Tax (VAT) regime from 10 per cent to five per cent and implement the 15 per cent increase of the minimum wage for government workers or face a nationwide workers strike. The NLC gave the ultimatum through a statement signed yesterday in Abuja by its National President, Comrade Abdul Waheed Omar, after its emergency meeting, weekend, to deliberate on a number of actions and policies implemented during the last days of the Obasanjo administration. “If these demands are not met within 14 days from Monday, June 4, 2007, Congress will have no other option than to embark on strike to press these demands. “We urge you to take the necessary steps to meet these demands. Congress is convinced that the price increase was uncalled for. To begin with, the manner in which the increase was effected violated due process. “Labour contended that the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), which is responsible for regulating prices, did not meet to deliberate the increase, adding that the argument being touted about the need to reduce subsidy is lame. “The NLC decried the high rate of dependence on private energy generation by manufacturers and other producers, necessitated by unstable and unpredictable power supply, as well as the near total dependence on road transportation for the movement of goods and persons.” Petrol sells for N150 in Port Harcourt Filling stations monitored in Port Harcourt, weekend, were seen dispensing petrol to motorists who were willing to part with N150 per litre, while in Yenagoa, filling stations dispensed petrol between N160 and N180 per litre. Worst still, motorists in Port Harcourt had to contend with traffic jams which lasted two hours or more, wasting the fuel purchased at high prices. Some motorists who spoke with Vanguard said they had to also contend with the risk of purchasing condensate in place of petrol and that this affected the performance of their engines. In Port Harcourt metropolis, it was also observed that throughout the weekend, there was no electricity supply and residents had to make do with power generating sets. Rivers State hosts two refineries with an installed capacity of 210,000 barrels per day, operated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Both of them are not functional at the moment, with domestic requirements taken care of by imports. Long queues return in Lagos As the stoppage of lifting petroleum products by NUPENG enters day four today, petrol queues have become chaotic in stations in the Lagos metropolis and its environs. On the Apapa-Oshodi expressway in Lagos, all the petrol stations on the stretch were saddled with long vehicular queues, the two Total filling stations visited were not having products at press time, while there were long queues at Texaco and AP filling stations along the expressway when Vanguard visited. Visits to petroleum depots around Lagos also revealed that operations had come to a standstill since last Friday both at the independent depots as well as NNPC depots. However, black market operators were seen along the road in some areas clinging to various sizes of jerry cans apparently to commence sales to motorists in dare need of the product. The Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) members have since Friday, May 1, stopped loading products in private depots in Lagos and its environs except the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) facilities in Lagos that have parking space for tankers. The Presidential Task Force headed by one Col Adebayo and inaugurated by ex-President Obasanjo a few days to his exit, had on Friday, May 1, threatened to forcefully remove any tanker seen on the highway especially the Oshodi\Apapa Expressway. Leaders of PTD in the state said they decided to withdraw their members from the road to avoid confrontation with the Presidential Task Force officials who may not understand the plight of the drivers. Secretary of the Western zone of NUPENG, Comrade Tokunbo Korodo, lamented that efforts to make the private tank farm owners under the aegis of Depot Petroleum Products Marketing Association (DAPPMA) to provide parking space for tankers had not yielded positive result as DAPPMA kept on promising without action. According to him, “there is nothing we can do other than what we are doing now. We do not want a confrontation with the Task Force officials. They have threatened to tow away any tanker on the expressway. The parking space at Orile Iganmu, the Phase one of the project will be commissioned before the end of the month. But that can only take 400 tankers. So, that is our predicament. To avoid confrontation with the task force, we have ordered our members to stop loading since Friday. As we speak, our members are not loading in all the private depots in Lagos. Loading is only taking place in NNPC depots where they have parking facilities.” |

surprisingly Tinubu and other Guvs handed over and still dares the bulldog (efcc) to come after them if they can. The best Guv Tinubu is still in town kicking it live celebrating fulfillment.

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news, she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged. Since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead." Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry." "How soon can I go home?" |

Human rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, says President Olusegun Obasanjo is a mad man for increasing the prices of petroleum products for the twelth time in eight years. A bitter Fawehinmi, who spoke with P.M.News this morning, said: “The fuel price increase is an act of a mad man. When Obasanjo goes, Nigeria will be rid of a psychiatric patient.” The human rights activist also said he fully supports the proposed protest by labour and civil society groups, adding that the police would not be able to stop it. On the supposed parade of the alleged killers of former Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, by the Inspector General of Police, Fawehinmi said the parade was laughable. Former Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa also described the increase in fuel price as ‘sadistic’, saying that Obasanjo has done his worst. “It is insensitive and shows the attitude of a mindless leader,” he said, adding that instead of the president to calm frayed nerves, he had made things worse. National President, Campaign for Democracy (CD), Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, described the fuel price increase as shocking. “We never expect any good thing from this government,” she said anmd urged Obasanjo to immediately reverse the price because, “it is unacceptable and will affect the prices of goods and services.” She said the CD and other civil society groups would soon meet to address the situation and find ways of tackling it, adding that the increase confirmed the anti-people policy of the Obasanjo government. The human rights activist called on Nigerians to brace up to challenge this increase in fuel prices because it is illegitimate. United Action for Democracy (UAD) scribe, Comrade Abiodun Aremu, also condemned the fuel price increase and said it must be reversed. Also condemning the fuel price hike, the Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress said: “We see this as the penchant of Obasanjo to ensure he inflicts maximum pains on the citizenry as he reluctantly leaves power in a few hours’ time.” In a statement signed by Joe Igbokwe, the Publicity Secretary of Lagos Action Congress (AC), the party said: “Lagos AC believes that what Obasanjo did can only be the stuff self-conceited, wicked and inhuman leaders are made and we are sure that Obasanjo is writing the last chapter of his evil reign in the hearts of Nigerians that have suffered tremendously from his deliberate infliction of punishment on Nigerians for the eight years of his sad misadventure in office.” The statement added that, “the dying PDP government that had excelled in pauperising Nigerians and enriching its deadly cult of economic rapists, electoral robbers, swooning sycophants, intemperate sadists, minions, hirelings, scavengers and serial looters, and is out to deal the people a fatal blow as the pains of its crippling of the Nigerian state continues to ravage the unfortunate citizenry. “There was little or no doubt that Obasanjo’s act is that of a vengeful tyrant that has clearly ran out of ideas on how to deal with a people that denied it the pleasure of tenure perpetuity. In line with the adult pranks of an old and terribly unstable man, they were meant to launch crisis in Nigeria as he takes his inglorious leave of power he covets so much that he is ready to do anything to retain it. “It is actions like this that drives well meaning Nigerians to maintain that we have on our hands a man that clearly requires psychiatrist test so as to determine the state of his mind. This latest act is one of the many acts of profiteering with which Obasanjo and his cronies have been bleeding Nigerians since 1999 under the pretext of a 419 deregulation policy that was prominent only for its wild increase in the prices of petroleum products.” |
i wonder what the common man will benefit from this government! na wao |
its no joke that i just got fuel at N75 per litre at this time when a new government is coming in. what will the striking oil workers do when they are yet to get answers to their yarnings. its a rude shock to have a fuel increase without notice at this time |
what's your area of core competence? |
