500 Villagers given free medicare in Ogun State
From MOSHOOD ADEBAYO, Abeokuta

Friday, July 30, 2010
For the residents of Papalanto, in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State, the decision of a community-based organisation, The Patriots, to storm the community with free medical services was highly commendable.

To them, it was a morale boosting with many residents expressing gratitude to the initiator of the programme.

For a 49-year-old beneficiary, Mrs. Gloria Adigun, it was kind of the organisation who offered free-medical services, thereby bringing smiles to the faces of the rural dwellers.

Aside from offering free-medical services, the group also donated drugs worth over N800,000 to the delight of the rural community.

The Patriots team was led by its president, Dr. Olatunbosun Fadeyi, accompanied by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Project Mnitoring, Tokunbo Odebunmi, and the Head Clinic, Lafarge Cement WAPCO Nigeria, Mrs. Irene Adesina. The Onipapa of Papalanto, Oba Abdul Rasaq Jimoh, expressed happiness for the gestures of the group adding that it had no political coloration.

According to Fadeyi, the organisation had been in existence for the past four years and had also administered free drugs and medical treatments on no fewer than 3,500 people across the state.

Fadeyi, who is also a Senior Registrar, Family Medicine, Sacred Heart Hospital, Lantoro, Abeokuta, was accompanied with no fewer than 69 volunteers which included 10 doctors, 30 nurses, four laboratory scientists, five pharmacists and 20 paramedics.

Patriots is a community based organisation (CBO) that provides social services at the local level adding that it is a non-profit-making organisation whose activities are based primarily on volunteer efforts. CBOs depend heavily on voluntary contributions for labour, material and financial support.

Within the short period of its existence, the group has organised several major programmes ranging from humanitarian services on health related issues to capacity building and youth development programmes.

The objective of the journey was to identify some social and health-related problems facing the rural dwellers and to see how the organization can help to solve some of these problems.

He disclosed that free mobile clinic exercise was staged on September 1, 2007 at Ake Palace Ground, Abeokuta, where about 950 people were diagnosed and drugs were administered free of charge.

While sharing his wealth of experience with people, Fadeyi lamented the state of health, education and health facilities in the country: “The incident of complications resulting from diabetes and hypertension, otherwise called silent killers is on the increase just as the issue of worm infestation and childhood infectious diseases requires critical intervention.”

He expressed worry that Nigeria, unlike other developing countries was yet to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) the target of which he said the United Nations puts at 2015:

“It is pathetic to note that in Nigeria unlike other developing countries, over 75 percent of these goals (particularly in the health-related ones) are yet to be achieved.” He stated and canvassed for concerted efforts on the government and other stakeholders to achieve the goals.

Shocking !!! Police discover 40 feet well stored with petroleum products in Lagos
By Victor Jacob
Friday, July 30, 2010


Residents of Lagos were last week shocked when photographs of a 30/40 feet well stored with petroleum products were beamed on their televison screens. In fact, more shocking was the fact that the well was originally dug for purposes of supplying water to a wood producing factory only for it to be cleverly converted into fuel dump.

The substance, suspected petroleum product

The well



http://odili.net/news/source/2010/jul/30/322.html

Unfortunately for alleged perpetrators of the act, a team of Policemen from Idimu area of the state, led personally by the Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police, Ambrose Agbedo, stormed the illegal fuel dump last Thursday, and arrested them.

Acting on a tip off, the team of Policemen raided the premises of a factory owned by one Chuks Okonkwo and discovered the well, measuring about 30-40feet below the ground which is being supplied with petroleum products from a raptured pipeline of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.(NNPC).

The principal suspect, Chucks Okonkwo (48)owner of the factory claimed that the well was dug for the purpose of supplying water to the factory in production of wood finishing paints.

According to him, when he noticed that fuel was flowing into the well about two months ago, he locked the well and thereafter informed NNPC officials carrying out maintenance repairs on some damaged pipes within that area. He, however suggested that the leakage could be as a result of a burst pipe of the NNPC that has been long due for replacement.

However, the Police claimed that their preliminary investigation of the well revealed that there is an underground pipe connected from the factory to the NNPC main transport pipe. Police sources said other suspects arrested together with Okonkwo were; Mohammed Cobna, Abdulrahman Yabren, Ishiaku Lamba, Dauda Dambri, all from BurkinaFaso and two Nigerians, Ifeanyi Izunwanne and Grace Chukwuemeka.

The source said all the suspected persons were workers in the factory as at the time of arrest and they denied having knowledge of fuel in the well even though, the well was conspicuously located at a corner in the factory premises.

Grace Chukwuemeka, the only female suspect told Crime Alert that she was employed barely two months now and that her job was to place labels on the company’s products. The DPO of Idimu Police Division, CSP Ambrose Agbedo and Lagos State Police command spokesman, Mr. Frank Mba (SP) led a team of journalists to the site where they personally drew buckets of fuel from the well, confirming allegations that it was refined petroleum product.

The PPRO described the act as the “height of creativity in the criminal world which poses a great threat to the environment in particular and, national security in general.”

Flex escaped the attack by whiskers over the weekend on his way home from one of his studios in UniLag where he had gone to record the album of Ernest Asuzu, an artiste on his label. He was attacked at about 11:30 P.M on the 3rd Mainland Bridge by two guys and a lady carrying AK 47 riffles.

The dread-locked wearing entertainer gushed that but for divine intervention he would have been dead by now.

According to him, “the whole thing was like a movie scene. I can’t actually comprehend the fact that it

wasn’t a dream, but I thank God for His grace.” Continuing, Flex, who had since gone into hiding said “the only thing I noticed was that their vehicle had been trailing me and one of them was actually waving at me. I also waved back, thinking that they were my fans.

But to my surprise, as I approached the bridge, they crossed me with their jeep, and

immediately, I saw the lady among them raising the riffle. And it dawned on me that they were not my fans, so I reversed my vehicle with speed while they did the same.

“The James Bond race continued for almost a minute before I change my gear and drove off. And because the car I was driving was the latest Lincoln Navigator, of course they could not catch up with me again. I just thank God for saving me.”

In the words of Red Eye, another artiste under Samba Records, “the tension here is high now because this is actually the third time that one of us is experiencing such occurrence. It is unfortunate because we can’t imagine why anybody will be after us.”

For chinesse cars,i will not buy them because of the price.I was the first person that imported and used the Brilliance car in Nigeria thats (november 2005 ). long before hyra motors took over the franchise in Nigeria
I used it everyday for about 2years and i made the following observations
1  The body was very strong because China has steel in their country so most times they dont compromise.
2  The Engine performed very well except for a few overheating problems when my radiator had problem
3 Their quality control is poor which is reflected in the finishing of the vehicle.
4 The tires dont last long.
5 It does not have second hand value because people dont even trust trust brand new chinesse cars not to talk of used one.
6 i considered the cost too high at $18500 CIF per a unit for the 2.4 litre top of the range which i bought,
Finally,i know that a lot of improvement is going on in the chinesse Auto industry and i strongly believe that they could dominate the Auto industry in the next few decades

@ no 1: They don't build cars now with steel because fiber glass is cheaper and lighter thereby saving you gas. It also have low tensile strength which is way safer than steel should you be in a crash.

@no 4: The tires has nothing to do with the auto maker.

Agency Reporter


Three Nigerians and 117 other African youths have been selected to participate in the 2010 President Barrack Obama's forum with young African leaders in Washington DC, United States of America.

Public Diplomacy Officer in the US Embassy, Mr. Edwin Flynn, disclosed this at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

Also, an American-based Nigerian news agency, Empowered Newswire, quoted the Nigerian Ambassador to the US, Prof. Ade Adefuye, as confirming the first ever town hall meeting between Obama and the young Africans.

The Nigerian delegates are Mr. Taiwo Awole, Ms. Ruth Audu and Mr. Bako Kantiok, all representing various civil society organisations.

Flynn said the event slated for August 3 - 5, would provide a platform for discussion on youth empowerment, good governance and economic opportunities for participants from more than 40 sub-Saharan African countries.

He said that Obama would also host a town hall meeting in the White House with the young leaders to discuss their vision for transforming their societies over the next 50 years.

"In addition to the town hall meeting, small group discussions on transparency and accountability, job creation and entrepreneurship and rights to advocacy would be addressed," Flynn said.

According to him, the participants will also have an opportunity to meet with grass roots service organisations to share experiences and strategies.

In their remarks, the delegates said that they envisioned Nigeria in the next 50 years as a nation that would encourage youth participation in governance, and also create job opportunities and wealth for its youths.

Audu, the only female participant, said that she would impart to other youths the ideas and strategies learnt from the forum, as well as engage "like minds" in the issue of change and good governace.

NAN reports that a follow-up to the forum, featuring live broadcast speeches by American leaders, would hold simultaneously at different locations across Africa in 2011.

cre8tivity:
you definitely don't want to turn this election to north vs south. in fact, i am not sure if what occured in ibadan sits right with the northerners.  if you're in north you will know that what happened in ibadan has been on the tv for the past few days now. i will not be surprised if this was how ibb's camp planned it and the message they intended to send to their fellow nigerians (the northerners).
don't be too quick to jump, it is ok to think out of the box.

Really?

What were they doing in Abia state?

Is it not possible that he owns the property before becoming a governor?. He bought those properties 5 and 10 years ago. Was he a governor then?

nellaluv:
Nnewi girls are just snatching all the fine fine rich guys

How did you conclude that the guy is rich?. Did you see his assets _{although he is wearing a rich suit[wrong color tho, who wears blue suit for a wedding]}?. It looks like the brides dad is the rich one imho.

Sagamite:
He bought all the bleaching cream, I could not find any left in the market. 

Go to Ebute Ero, there are still quack beauticians there ready to make you caucasian today. God shall do for you what He did for Akala. Imagine him being the first white governor of Oyo state. Try and be a first in something for once in your life.

akinalabi:
If they keep at it, one day, we will be buying them.

I remember when I was much younger, my dad and his friends used to laught at those that bought Japanese cars.

Now we love them.

The 20 years ago, no one wanted korean cars. They are not as accepted as Japanese cars but they are no longer taboos.

We don't know what the future holds. Personally, I'm a kind of person that never puts anything down so we may be buying them later.

Very true. I remember the days when Nissans/Datsuns, Toyotas, Daihatsus, Mitsubishis, Hondas were untouchables. If it is not British, German or American, nobody will touch your automibiles. But today, it is a different ball game. The only problem is that the Chinese auto industry didn't start today. Some are as old as the Hondas etc. They were building trucks and vans for the most part tho.

Sagamite:
See you mouth.

So I no fit repeat multiple times ni.

After Akala, repeat 7 times with me, he leave me for the grade for another 25 years.  

I don't know why Akala left you behind in everything. You can see he is white now and you are still black[Ogbomosho model].

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=488919.msg6486946#msg6486946 date=1280598021]Better than some men on NL that claim 21 but looks 45 [/quote]They are actually 21. Hardship and joblessness can age you faster than crack induced brain deterioration seen in bk/babe97.

Sagamite:
It seems 2 of his grooms men where my classmates in sec school. One definitely is though as I can see him clearly.

No, they are 30 years younger than you. How can that be?. Were you not 2 sets below Alao Akala?. Although you may not recognize him then because he was black. 

philip0906:
u mean sey na dat guy go dey bleep d chick?
btw. . .who says he is young? oops,his trick worked-shave d damn hair and beards and clean up d face 2 look under20(super eagles style)

The guy is not more than 30 and he looks damn good. stop hating.

0hsisi:
Thank God he looks a zillion times better in traditional outfit
It filled him up and manned him up small
If I'm Ngozi,he will never ever wear suit again

His suit is a very nice one but I think Ngozi is actually taller than him. May not be a good choice as Ngozi's father is average height too. Unless Ngozi is a very tall lady which I doubt from these pictures.
