but of course a bricklayer is a human being, i do not however expect the president to be dressed as one,especially after such a crisis, i need him to look like he can handle the situation at hand, even if he can't talk the talk, let him look the look

Should he dress like a soldier in order to convince you that he is capable or incapable of handling the situation?. Dressing has nothing on the ability/capability of any human being.

"The last 100 days of President Jonathan has smirked of Olympian phlegmatism and byzantine anchorage. The truth is that Nigerians are righteously indignant of the years of locusts that they are not in the mood to put up with any vacillation or vacuous rhetoric on issues that have to do with political_economy. I pray that Mr President responds prestissimo to the legitimate yearnings of our people, given the crest of goodwill upon which he ascended power.” Patrick Obahiagbon

No fewer than 10 party loyalists were severely injured as fighting broke out in Ibadan yesterday between supporters of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and those of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
Among the victims of the clash, which occured at the airport during President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to the city, was the PDP Chairman in Oluyole Local Government Area, Elder Oyelade Akinlade.
Oyelade, it was gathered, was still unconscious at the Renewth Clinic and Maternity, Oremeji, Argungu , Ibadan, where he was rushed to for medical attention.
A source at the hospital yesterday said doctors were still battling to revive the party chairman, as he was yet to regain consciousness.
Some ACN supporters were also said to have sustained injuries from the fracas which occurred outside the main gate leading to the airport.

The PDP and ACN supporters were said to have stationed themselves at the Airport as early as 8 am to welcome Jonathan and members of his entourage, including the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, who were in Ibadan to have an on the spot assessment of the damage caused by penultimate Friday’s flood disaster  which claimed more than  100 lives and damaged property worth several millions of naira.
A heated argument between the two opposition groups was said to have resulted in a free for all, leaving many severely injured.
According to an eyewitness account, trouble started when security men disallowed some of the party supporters entry into the airport.
Some members of the ACN were said to have frowned at what they described as an illegal party rally at the airport by some PDP supporters, who allegedly turned the occasion into a party jamboree.
The PDP supporters were said to have started singing and dancing in a manner the ACN  supporters considered offensive.
When the PDP supporters persisted, the ACN supporters  were said to have also  mobilised their members and started singing and dancing; an action the PDP supporters also considered offensive.

Big B1:
  ^^^^ when was the last time you were in Lagos?
Drainage has been the 80% of the issues for over 10 yrs.

In Lagos alone or the whole Nigeria for more than 100 years?

Who is Toba abeg?

folahann:
Thief, fraudster and embezzler dey everywhere but Naija own too much.

Who can you trust these days

Eko Ile can be trusted.

Whoaat?

She may be referring to Nairaland stalkers like DayoKanu and Eko Ile.

proudly9ja:
^^^
My problem with Nigerian politicians. Why name it Ajimobicare? If a new governor comes in, why should he/she continue a programme named after his/her predecessor?

Asides that, the programme itself good idea but all these haphazard way we introduce programmes must stop. We must always think about how to make them sustainable.

He did not name it Ajimobicare, I did.

tjskii:
^^^i totally agree with you,did you see the president's mode of dressing when he went to the UN headquarters after the bombing? Guy i weak, the dude just resemble bricklayer

Is bricklayer not a human being?

Do our leaders know what is drainage system in Nigeria?. This flooding is a clear case of poor drainage.

wordtalk:
Nobody needs any "anointing" to expose false teaching - even atheists without any "anointing" can see through many of these things. The man who boasts about a gift that does not exist is like clouds and wind without rain (Proverbs 25:14).

Anointing is given by God to promote the Gospel with positive results that bring unbelievers into His Kingdom. When Christians are presented with "another Gospel" that does not bring SALVATION, the anointing for discernment (which all believers have, 1 John 2:27) comes into operation. This anointing does not need any man to teach the believer in such matters ("the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you".

How many Nigerians have you changed with your firebrand anointing that is direct from heaven?. I see bad belle in action here. Many times, all these struggling evangelists/pastors envy prosperous ones and try to associate them with all sorts of evil. Daddy Adeboye will continue to win souls for Christ and I pray that you shall be won in due course. If you need a job as a pastor, why not approach RCCG for employment instead of castigating them out of envy?.

morpheus24:
He's looking for attentin. Don't give it to him.

He is relic that is about to become extinct.

No, he is a psycho and the attention I want to give to him is to make sure his behind is in jail for child abuse so that when he wants to treat blacks like animals next time, he should at least look for an adult.

He he he, funny title. OP changed "number of Nigerians in fireign jails  to number of Igbos in foreign jails". He did a poor job of it tho.

[size=14pt]Oyo launches free health scheme[/size]

From Iyabo Lawal, Ibadan


GOVERNOR Abiola Ajimobi yesterday flagged off free health services for all residents in the state.







The project, which is run in partnership with the Development Support Initiative (DSI), kicked off in 10 of the 33 local councils.

Interim Chairman, Ibadan North Local Council, where the scheme was flagged off, Idris Lapade, stated that 120 medical workers, including 10 surgeons, dentists, opticians, pharmacists and other paramedics, were lined up for treatment of different ailments. Ten beds were also provided for surgery.

Lapade explained that the programme would be repeated every two or three months until it is integrated into the state's healthcare system.

Although the scheme recorded low turnout initially, residents later showed up after discovering that the treatment was free and devoid of party affiliation.

One of the consultants on the scheme, Dr. Oluyombo Peters, described the response as "impressive."

He said the team treated hypertension and diabetes as well as some minor ailments while some victims of last Friday's flood disaster also showed up to complain of skin and eye-related problems.

[size=14pt]Pains as Lagos roads get flooded, again[/size]
Written by Olalekan Olabulo, Lagos
Friday, September 2, 2011



THERE was palpable tension and anxiety among residents of many parts of Lagos State on Thursday, following the heavy flood that greeted the rain in most parts of the state.

The fears among the residents of the state were heightened by the widespread reports that the state would witness a heavy rain and flooding.


The Thursday rain created serious traffic gridlock in many parts of the state, including the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, Lagos axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and Abeokuta Expressway in the state.


Residents of areas like Sogunle, Ile-Epo, Agege, Ikeja, Iyana Ipaja, Abule Egba Ijaiye and Meiran had a hectic time scooping water from their houses, during the rain that lasted for more than three hours.


Some of the roads in the state were also flooded, thereby making movement of vehicles difficult and creating serious traffic gridlock along the major roads in the state.


Residents of Ile Epo, Abule Egba and Iyana Ipaja areas were forced to stay for about an hour and watch the flood subside, before venturing out as a result of the heavy flood that completely overran the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway


Traders at Ile Epo Market also faced difficulty in moving their goods in and out of the market as the roads that led to the market were completely flooded with porters reportedly charging exorbitant fares. The Nigerian Tribune was informed by many of the residents of the state that the fear of the forecasted downpour forced them to watch and see the effect of the rain.


Some youths around Ladipo area of Oshodi took advantage of the downpour and the flood to make brisk money from pedestrians by providing a makeshift bridge over a flooded canal at Ladipo Bus Stop

Pedestrians, who wanted to cross to the GRA part of Ladipo had no choice but to pay 50 naira to the youth before being allowed to walk on the planks that served as link over the flood.

By SOLA BALOGUN

Friday, September 2, 2011
Many Nigerians looked up to the burial of the Lady of Songs in Lagos where she lived and practised her music. But that is no longer possible as the Igbokwe family in Lagos announced a change of decision regarding the burial of Christy Essien-Igbokwe during the week.

Essien-Igbokwe




In a statement signed by Dr Patrick Igbokwe (Afulukwe), remains of the frontline musician who died on July 30 wouldbe buried in Awka on Saturday September 10, and not September 9, as earlier announced.

According to Dr Igbokwe, his family in Umudioka village in Awka area of Anambra State has in line with tradition, held consultations with His Eminence, Akwa Edidem, Dr Akpabio Udo Ukpa, paramount ruler of Onna LGA of Akwa Ibom State, who agreed to bury Christy in Awka.

He explained further that a motorcade of supporters and sympathisers would accompany the family to Murtala Mohammed Airport , Ikeja, where the remains of the foremost singer would be flown to Enugu en route Awka. On Saturday, a funeral service would hold at the Cathedral Church of St Faith, Awka after which interment follows immediately.

Meanwhile, Dr Igbokwe has commended Nigerians for having identified with the family over the death of the Lady of Songs. He expressed gratitude to the burial committee, the Nigerian entertainment industry as well as fans and admirers of the late musician. In addition, the family showed appreciation to President Goodluck Jonathan, governors of Anambra State (Mr Peter Obi), Akwa Ibom State (Godswill Akpabio), Abia State (Theodore Orji), Cross River State (Liyel Imoke) and Lagos State (Babatunde Raji Fashola) who offered their

Fine guy

It ain't got nothing to do with tithes.

baby-boy:
Nwankwo Kanu his heart foundation

Didier Drogba built a hospital in Ivory Coast and his part played to stop the Civil war

Charlize Theron - fighting for women right in south africa and trying to education and recreational resources to remote areas where HIV/AIDS rates are unacceptably high.

Dikembe Matumbo - how built a $30m hospital in Rep of Congo

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Oprah, Bono, George Clooney, Iman Bowe, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Madonna, Coldplay, John Travolta, J.K. Rowling, Donald Trump, Pamela Anderson, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott,




I could name so many celeb who did more amazing,

You are right but I think they are looking for celebrities of African origin.

chillbabe:
Why would they build. Where they are not suppose to. Putting other people at risk same thing in lagos. When will Nigerians learn

Did government tell them originally that it is illegal to build there?. That's why we have city ordinances but for sure Ibadan has not issued any ordinance before concerning illegal structures.

ragdollz:
OK is he a celeb celeb?? Cos I think he doesn't fit the term at all (celebrity). Anyway just my OP.

If Kanu is not a celeb, what is he?

ragdollz:
Sorry, first you have to tell us your[size=38pt] definition [/size]of INFLUENTIAL. Do you mean, most famous, most liked, most popular, most recognizable, or what?? Cos to be influential me thinks you must be able to do great things for those around you. The way celebrities in America like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Oprah have been able to influence and give to the world. And sorry I can't really say any Nigerian "celeb" has done much of that. I stand to be corrected though.

Kanu Nwankwo?
