| Family › Inside Kiokio Community; Where Broken Bones Are Mended And Women Find Babies by arlomah(op): 10:01am On Nov 21, 2016 |
The Kiokio village is where broken bones and spirit find succour - literary. It is a place where people with broken bones find healing and women desiring their own children find answers. Located along the road to Ikorodu, Kiokio community in the Asolo-Ajegunle axis of Lagos Metropolis, appears to be a sleepy fishing community, as the area is surrounded by water. But the at heart of this village is center for the broken hearted. Their patients unbelievably come from far and near across the country. Despite being the mecca for many across the country, the community is at the receiving end of the yearly floodingowing to its location along the Ogun River corridor. 20161118_155331 Interestingly, away from the troubles faced due to torrential rainfall and flooding in the community, the tiny slum boasts of a healing home where lives and marriages of a myriad of Lagosians and its environs have been saved. Named after the founder of the healing home, Late Chief Fiafade Kiokio, the J.B Fiafade Trado Medicinal Healing Home was established decades ago in 1953, InsideMainland learnt. "My dad was a fisherman who traveled across the waterfronts before settling in the area before Nigeria's independence. As an Ijaw man, his trade was fishing although he had proper knowledge of the usage of leaves and herbs as a little boy," said Mr. Gabriel J. Fiafade, the son of Late Fiafade who currently runs the Trado Medicinal healing home. Speaking further, Mr. Gabriel who is popularly known as Olotu in Kiokio community disclosed to InsideMainland that "few years after settling in the area, his impact was felt due to his contributions to the development of the area. Not long afterwards, he was made Baale of Kiokio community and he held the post before passing on in May 2005." Commenting on the healing home popular for bone setting and helping women who are in search of the fruit of the womb, Fiafade Jnr played down their supposed superhuman abilities; "we do not have the infinite power to heal neither do we give babies. We only do our best to make herbs, leaves, and shrimps for patients to take." Though a local treatment home, Kiokio is a place where women are respected. Fiafade Jr. revealed that "though it looks like an informal setting, we ensure that women treat the female folks while men do same too to allow for a more robust understand between the patient and whoever will treat them. That alone helps the psychological effect it has on the patients." Corroborating Fiafade Jnr, his younger sister who handles the women ward at the Trado Medicinal home disclosed that "the first thing we ask our patients who are in search of fruit of the womb is their belief. We belief we are not the one who give babies but the Almighty who created us. That is why we continue to work with natural herbs and leaves which the Almighty blessed us with to help fertility in women." Speaking to a patient who preferred anonymity, he told InsideMainland that "I had a bone injury in my apartment in Port Harcourt and I was rushed to the hospital for ...... read more here http://insidemainland.com/my-area/2016/11/inside-kiokio-community-broken-bones-mended-women-find-fruit-womb/ CC @lalasticlala 1 Share

Located close to the Lagos lagoon, Ibeshe community in Ikorodu is one area popular for its serenity and peaceful nature. However, reverse is now the case as the continuous existence of the community is threatened by the reckless activities of notorious rapist and robbery group simply known as Badoo. In the last few weeks residents of Ibeshe have been leaving the community in droves as the dreadful acts perpetrated by the ‘Badoo’ boys have left residents, especially the women, completely traumatised with no alternative than to relocate to safer communities. Those who are left in the community currently live in fear.

The group usually attack homes where the male member is absent, looting properties and raping their female victims. They usually attack their victims mostly elderly women at night. They brutally rape them and then clean their semen with a handkerchief before leaving the scene, the community told InsideMainland. Some victims have lost their lives during the attack while others survived death by the whiskers and are left to deal with the trauma. Few weeks ago, a member of the notorious group was mobbed and burnt to death in Ibeshe after he was caught attempting to rape a member of the community.

Less than a week after academic activities resumed across the various campuses of the Lagos State Polytechnic, LASPOTECH, it appears the disagreement between the management and the Non – teaching staff isn’t getting a solution anytime soon. Events took another turn when the Non – teaching staff comprising members from the LASPOTECH chapter of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics, SSANIP, and Non – Academic Staff Union, NASU, stormed the Management Building and held the School management hostage for several hours on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. InsideMainland gathered from a top management source who preferred anonymity that an argument ensued during a deliberation between the management and the Non – teaching staff. The development prompted the Non – teaching staff of the institution to position themselves at strategic points of the school. During the process, the officers insisted that academic activities would be on hold and no member of the management would be allowed to leave the school premises until their demands were met. According to the source “the protest lasted few hours and no one was able to leave the school premises. The disagreement is due to the conclusion reached by the management and the Non – teaching staff but the management is yet to meet the terms.” Speaking further, the source said “the Rector spoke to the top officers of SSANIP and NASU before they allowed everyone to leave but I fear ... read more here http://insidemainland.com/2016/11/10/laspotech-non-teaching-staff-hold-management-hostage-salary-issues/ 1 Share

| Politics › Inside Ikorodu Mini Water Works: The Story Of A Shocking Decay (PHOTOS) by arlomah(op): 11:59am On Nov 10, 2016 |
Commissioned officially in July 1983 by the former Governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the Ikorodu Mini Water Works of the Lagos State Water Corporation was launched as a project to benefit residents of the community. The project was launched amidst fanfare and lots of commendation by members of the community. 33 years after the Mini Water Works was commissioned and opened for public use, the facility is now in a shadow of its self. The facility once celebrated by residents is now in a rotten state with some of the equipments completely damaged. Water production is presently grounded in the Mini Water Works as the facilities used in production have completely broken-down. This development prompted residents connected to the water works to resort to drilling boreholes in their houses while those who could not afford that continue to battle to get drinkable water from the little made available by the Mini Water Works. InsideMainland gathered from a worker at the Mini Water Works, Mr. Akinlade that the management of the place through the plant manager had contacted the area office to make complaints to the government on the state of the Water works. According to him, the complaints are yet to yield any result. “We have reached out to the government on different occasions but what we hear from them is that they will come and put the place back in shape yet nothing is done to that effect.” “Three years ago, the Federal and State Government officials visited this place and promised a total rehabilitation. The equipments were checked with the officers taking note of what is required to be done. But the Federal government officials stopped coming and some months after, the State officers did same too.” On the state of the facilities at the Ikorodu Mini Water Works, our investigations revealed that out of the 11 boreholes and water pumping machines commissioned during the opening of the water works, only three are presently functioning. It is also shocking that from the three working, only one is functioning properly to ... read more here http://insidemainland.com/2016/11/05/inside-ikorodu-mini-water-works-story-shocking-decay/ CC @Lalastilala 1 Share

The Appeal Court in Lagos has nullified the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in Lagos and urged the State Government not to restrict people’s movement on that day. The development was contained in a judgment delivered by Justice Ugochukwu Ogakwu of the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division. According to a report by PM News, the court banned the State government from further restricting anyone’s movement within Lagos State at any time or day whatsoever on the basis of environmental sanitation as there is no written law to that effect.

Explaining further, he said the Board of Trustees embarked on several strategy sessions to define the mission, vision, core values and strategic framework to guide the Fund’s activities. “After the completion of the research exercise, the Board working with its appointed consultants, developed a strategic framework articulating the goals of the Board, the key interventions designed to enhance job creation, and the supporting infrastructure needed to deliver the set goals. This exercise has now been concluded and approved by the Lagos State Executive Council,” he said. Highlighting some of the framework for the disbursement, Oyebode said the fund would provide loans to MSMEs at a single digit interest rates per annum, while training and capacity building and technical support would be provided to drive growth and job creation. “The businesses we support must demonstrate capacity to repay our loans; be owned by Lagos residents duly registered by the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA); show evidence of tax payments to the Lagos Inland Revenue Service (LIRS); and have valid Bank Verification Numbers (BVNs). In addition to our MSME financing schemes, we will also train unemployed residents to either take up identified jobs or run their businesses,” he said.

There was pandemonium in Idi-Oro in the Mushin axis of Lagos yesterday, October 30,2016, with residents scampering for safety following gang violence in the area. InsideMainland learnt that residents who were running for safety survived varying degrees of injuries during the process. According to a resident, violence erupted in the community few days ago with the gangs shooting sporadically in the air. The shootings we gathered continued for a while before the gangs retreated to their various hideouts. “The area was unsettled due to the shootings that started on Thursday. Though it has become a regular occurrence, the shootings continued till Sunday and people in the area became restless. The gangs will shoot in broad daylight and stop at a point,” the resident who craved anonymity told InsideMainland.
