Hi Guys, Today we are going to be making Nigerian Jollof…. Jollof rice is one Nigerian meal that cuts across every tribe and ethnic group in the country, and among the different ways it may be cooked, "party jollof rice" stands out. It's cooked using large local cast iron pots called "koko-irin" which are placed on top of large chunks of firewood. The smoky heat from the charcoal adds a unique and unforgettable flavour that many people love… #food #foodie #partyjollof #jollofrice

Personally, I feel why the Remo folks may have "identified" as Ijebu's are;

1. The British merging us together
2. The Ijebus's seems to have been strong politically and culturally. It would have been easy to go with the flow. Despite being from Remo, I have heard the names Awujale and Alake of Egba more than Akarigbo while growing up.
3. No awareness, our parents keeps passing down the identities from bloodline to bloodline.

The funny thing is, the topic of Remo not been part of Ijebu has in existence as far back but no one is really interested in it. Its only getting popular because of the "Ijebu's" wanting to get a state and capital.

Good day to you sir.

Ikorodu is an extension of Remoland. Lots of the ancient Ikorodu families migrated from Sagamu to settle there. The Oba of Ogijo is from the same royal ruling house (Torungbuwa) as the current Akarigbo of Remo. The Ayangburen of Ikorodu is considered to be from the royal lineage of Akarigbo.

Personally, I do not think there is a way to way to distinguish between an Ijebu or Remo names. They are all Yoruba names with Yoruba meanings, so you may end up seeing it as a Yoruba name.

Nigerian Military Not Recruiting Boko Haram Ex-Fighters - DHQ

Pakute:
The Federal Government has announced that it is set to open the completed portion of the section 1 of the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway to motorists between December 12 and 17.

The government is also set to formally commission section 1 in April 2026. The section 1 has about two kilmetres to be fully completed.
Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, disclose these on Sunday while on inspection tour of the coastal highway.

A total of 47. 37 kilomtres was covered during the inspection.

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is a 700-km project beginning from Victoria Island, Lagos to Calabar in Cross River State.

Speaking with journalists on the inspection, Umahi commended the level of the project, pointing out that the had achieved measurable progress.

The minister explained that the construction work was deliberately slowed on select segments to allow proper subsoil settlement which he described as an engineering requirement crucial for the road’s structural integrity and long-term lifespan.

He commended Hitech for what he called an “uncommon commitment” to the project, saying the company’s drive “goes far beyond financial incentives.”

On the funding of the sprawling project, he said the foreign loan component was oversubscribed by $100 million, indicating investor confidence in the project’s economic viability and the ministry’s transparent management processes.

In his remarks, The Managing Director of Hitech, Danny Aboud, said the sand filling was advancing steadily across critical swamp zones, while between 34 and 35 kilometres of the concrete eeinforced cement pavement had already been done.

Beyond Section One, Other places inspected include a 25-kilomtre dual carriageway under construction by federal government between Eleko around Dangote Cement, Ibeju-Lekki and Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State and an expansive flyover at Chainage 47.474. The flyover designed to link Sections 1 and 2 of the coastal highway.

With 80 per cent of piling works completed, the interchange is projected for delivery in the first quarter of 2026 and will support seamless traffic flow to the Dangote Refinery and the adjoining port access road, according to Umahi at the site.

The minister equally announced the launch of the President Tinubu Engineering Mentorship Programme, expected to commence in January.

According to Umahi, the initiative is expected to recruit civil engineers, electrical engineers, designers and technicians across the country offering hands-on training on legacy projects such as the coastal highway, Sokoto- Badagry coastal road and others.

The minister said after the traing, participants will be given start-up support to acquire essential equipment, in a move aimed at boosting indigenous engineering capacity of the country while reducing reliance on foreign expertise.

https://x.com/dawisu/status/1992903749606477831?[/quote]This is a a highly IRRESPONSIBLE and poor attempt by the creep name Salisu Tanko-Yakasai to select attention from the real issues. Period.

Ofunaofu:
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), has dismissed recent claims by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar regarding the appointment of Xpress Payments as one of the channels used in the Treasury Single Account (TSA) revenue collection system.

It described the claims as “incorrect, misleading, and capable of unnecessarily politicising a purely administrative and technical process.”

In a statement, weekend, by Technical Assistant on Broadcast Media to the Executive Chairman, FIRS, Arabinrin Aderonke Atoyebi, the Service clarified that it did not operate any exclusive or single-gateway revenue collection arrangement and has not granted monopoly rights to any private company over government revenues.

FIRS stated that the agency was currently operating a multi-channel, multi-Payment Solution Service Provider (PSSP) framework that include several established platforms such as Quickteller, Remita, Etranzact, Flutterwave, and XpressPay.

“These PSSPs are part of an expanded, transparent, and competitive ecosystem designed to make tax payment easier and more efficient for Nigerians across the country,” the statement read.

The Service further explained that PSSPs were not collection agents and did not earn processing fees or percentages of government revenues.

It stressed that all payments made through the channels went directly into the Federation Account without diversion, intermediaries, or private custody.

Highlighting the key features of the TSA collection system, the FIRS noted that the inclusion of multiple PSSPs was intended to provide taxpayers with more options, improve efficiency through better monitoring and reporting, and promote innovation and job creation within the financial technology sector.

It also emphasised that the onboarding process for PSSPs was transparent, open, and verifiable, ensuring fairness and equal opportunity for all participants.

The agency reiterated its commitment to professionalism and transparency, urging political figures to avoid misrepresenting routine administrative procedures.

“The ongoing national tax reform, led by the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, is a cornerstone of Nigeria’s economic modernisation.

“It is grounded in transparency, efficiency, and broad stakeholder engagement. This reform cannot and should not be dragged into partisan controversy,” the statement added.

The Service, however, called Atiku and other political actors to desist from spreading misinformation, noting that Nigeria’s tax system was too vital to be undermined by politicisation.

TooYet this your anger does not extend to the Muslim terrorists in the north who continue to get government patronage.

How Tinubu's God-given foresight and administrative skills saved Victoria Island.

I was familiar with the ecological problem facing Victoria Island as far back as 1996 when it was highlighted on Frank Olize's Sunday show on NTA. Then I saw it for myself in 2005 when I visited a friend in Victoria Island.

What remained of the Bar Beach was just a tiny strip of land and Ahmadu Bello Way was perennially flooded. Later, I learnt that Tinubu, the governor of Lagos State at the time had signed a contract since 2003 to solve the problem of the ocean surge forever by killing a bird with two stones, stopping the perrenial surge of the ocean by reclaiming land from the ocean and at the same time establishing a world class real estate piece on the reclaimed land. Work started in 2008. As of today, Eko Atlantic is taking shape and Victoria Island has been saved. At what cost to Lagos State taxpayers? Zero Naira! It was pushed to the private sector. That's one man blessed by God with an international touch to solving problems. Abeg anyone with pictures of Eko Atlantic City should help me post them. I'm very sleepy already.

I don't believe no 6. There are Fulani terrorists in Southeast. They were doing armed robbery, especially around Lokpanta axis in Abia state, along Enugu-Umuahia road.

I also don't believe no 14.
