Can we see pictures of the houses and what area of Gbagada are they?

Isn't it surprising to know that most of the muslim condemnations of these attacks are from British/American-based imams, who, of course, do not want to upset the warm hospitality, accommodation and freedom of religious association they enjoy from these western governments? What about the clerics based in Saudi, middle east or any muslim-dominated areas? Do any of them openly condemn these "anti-islam" jihadist violence? None can dare do. The concept of moderate/liberal moslems who speak of tolerance and a peaceful ideology, can only be found in foreign lands or places where they are in minorities. Speak of tolerant co-existence and each man's fundamental right to practise any religion in a muslim country, and you are met with the most hostile and aggressive actions, from both the government and the average muslim citizen! I'm not swayed by all these "Peaceful-Islam" oxymoron.

Do you have any 3 bedroom in Surulere for 400k or less? Holla if you do, I'm interested!

Yeah, expensive. Do you have any ppt for 400k or less for 2/3 bedrooms in any of these locations (gbagada, surulere)?

OMG! What a comic angle richarts, vicky and berem have added to this thread. I'm literally laughing my heart out

Deadly robbery gang in Lagos: They are called ‘one million boys’ • Rape old women •Residents opt for self defense:

Imagine a million-man gang storming a community for robbery operation! It definitely is hell on earth. But this is what makes Lagos tick, or Lagosians jittery, as a new set of robbers known as ‘One Million Boys’ have laid siege to parts of the state, causing havoc and sleeplessness. However, their numerical strength does not in any way tally with their appellation.

Fact is that they gave themselves that label because they always move in large group. It was gathered that they move in group of about 20 men and above, and sometimes they up the number when going out for robbery operations. The gang has sent jitters down the spines of people living in Orile-Coker, Apapa-Iganmu and Ifelodun Local Council Development Areas, as well as Ajeromi/Ifelodun Local Government Area. Other areas the gang has conquered with fear, according to sources, are Ijesha in Aguda/Surulere Local Council Development Area and the adjoining environs.

They operate with dangerous weapons ranging from cutlass, charms and other sophisticated weapons. Sources said they sometimes converged on relaxation spots where they put finishing touches to their operations, or outright robbery of patrons of the spots before moving on. As a result of this development, many hotels and clubs in the areas have taken precautionary measures against the gangsters in the past weeks, as they were said to have visited some and left their trademark of tears and sorrow. It was also gathered that when they go for robbery operation they take delight in raping old women. Unconfirmed report had it that during one of their operations, they compelled a man to have sex with his mother, which he refused, and was eventually killed. Sunday Sun authoritatively reports that the gang’s activities have raised high level security in these areas as the youths have set up vigilante groups at night to secure their streets.

And to make it effective, each tenement building contributes one or two volunteers for the vigilante groups. In Orile, it was learnt that some members of the Odua People’s Congress (OPC) have taken it upon themselves to guard vulnerable areas. In some streets, because of the fear of the so-called ‘One Million Boys’ there is embargo on night parties by the residents’ associations, and where allowed, it is restricted to 11 p.m. Besides, the celebrant must obtain permit from the association 72 hours before the event, so that adequate security could be put in place. The police in these troubled areas have also raised their visibility to a very significant level with constant patrol at night. Investigations revealed that so far Apapa-Iganmu, Ifelodun and Ajeromi-Ifelodun local government areas are feeling the heat of the ‘One Million Boys’ more than other parts of the state and residents are devising self-defence strategies to counter them.

Top officers of the police in these troubled areas are not taking the criminals’ threats lightly, as they have ordered their men to put the ‘boys’ in check. But when Sunday Sun called the Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, to confirm the gang’s activities, she refused to comment on the ground that she did not know the reporter. Even when prodded further with details and told that by virtue of her office she needs not know everybody before commenting on phone, she still was adamant. “What did you call your name again?” she asked, but after a repeated introduction, she said, “I don’t know you, so I cannot confirm any information to you. I don’t confirm information to people I don’t know. People have been calling me different names,” she added and switched off.

The call went through after numerous attempts spanning several days. But sources close to police confirm the presence of the gang. Some said they were a group of young hoodlums, and that “police are already getting rid of them”. Others said the name ‘One Million Boys’ was really creating fear in the areas, but the police have intensified efforts to bring the situation under control. “We hear about it, but we have not encountered them.

What we usually hear is that some three or four boys enter a room, beat up the occupants and collect their money and phones,” the sources said. It was gathered that majority of the gang’s members are young boys in their early twenties and with some women members.

God save us

@OP, I was robbed about 3 weeks ago, in my house at the estate in Amuwo Odofin and I'd been thinking exactly of what you posted.
It is the buyers of these used phones, laptops that drive the supply, which in this case, is the crime of barging into peoples' houses. Everyone who buys used phones on the street, traffic is guilty. People should buy items like these from shops or places with an address and a receipt. I would suppose this is a business idea to some, to set up a parasecurity/recovery outfit, getting PINs of BBs and other details of stolen items and tracking them, recovering the phone and using the buyers as a lead to uncover the criminals. When these buyers are constantly haunted by security agents, there will be less demand for these products and this will force down the rate at which these crimes are committed.

size38: Boko haram leaders are indirectly crying out. True, JTF don really deal wit their rank and file. When JTF arrested & killed Abu Qaqa, they said it was not Abu Qaqa dat it was Abu Dada. Now dat the Abu dada is dead, boko haram wil claim dat JTF only killed Abu Wawa and not Abu Dada

LMAO @ Abu Wawa

Vices are everywhere, north and south; the issue arises when a church is targeted and bombed, especially in areas where christians are in the minority, no one looks further to guess out likely suspects. Remember, this isn't the first time muslims will be fing.ered in violence against christians in the north.

abdulkayus: yes e no go better for dos terrorists who claim to be fightin for islam, and e no go better also for dos kidnappers, armed robbers, assasins we hav in d south. Hey guy, stop callin BH muslims, call dem xtremist. CIAO

Omexonomy: what sort of kwesion is this. Next time ask who is ar the sponsors of the terorist. I hope no innocent person will be involve

I really hope no innnocent person (who has never torched a church or joined in the killing of southerners during any of their crazy riots) will be involved.

Please o, am also looking for a good bicycle shop in Nigeria where I can get a correct mountain bike.

I wonder where this country is heading to, with scams of such colossal magnitude.

Jeez!

This country is finished!

I am glad however that a few men of integrity and honour still walk our streets like the unnamed EFCC official that declined the bribe.

Dayummmm!

Andrew abeg, do this for me too.

Where is it being used now? 225F2AC0.

Thank you.

And I am waiting for the first Nigerian government official to applaud this outcome (Ibori's guilt plea) as a victory for the Nigerian masses. Maybe it's no "victory" in the sense that they know or have you heard any yet?,

I wish Desmond Tutu was a Nigerian.

Why dont people boycott the churches of pastors that campaign for corrupt leaders?

Because the pew is as corrupt too. How else do you think they pay those fat tithes in church? Can the pastors speak against ill-gotten wealth? "It is God" is what they will say, the answer to their prayers, though acquired in an illegal manner. This country is just f***

I share the same sentiments.

Something else worries me and I see it a lot in yoruba movies: the sheer use of abusive and curse words; the manner in which such languages are openly spewed out, I think the government should control and seriously regulate these movies, at least appriopriately rate them.

Hyundai Heavy says not building Nigerian shipyard
Associated Press, 09.16.11, 07:03 AM EDT 

SEOUL, South Korea -- Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. is denying a statement from Nigeria's presidential office that it plans to build a multibillion dollar shipyard in the country.

Hyundai Heavy spokesman Kim Moon-ju said Friday that the company has no such plan.
A statement late Thursday from President Goodluck Jonathan's office said the shipyard would be built in Brass in Bayelsa state, his home region.

Kim said that Hyundai Heavy President Lee Jai-seong made no such comment during a trip to the country. Kim said the company is building a small pipe-manufacturing factory in Bayelsa.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, faces crushing unemployment and poverty. The government has promised other projects in the past that failed to materialize.

glowithdan:
It is a shame some of us still wallow in our stupidy! With such zeal and courage, I was expecting to hear positive coments on the subject matter. We all grave for change and accontability, where we can hold our leaders resposible for their actions and the like; where else can such crusade begin, if notnin this form?

I believe its high time we started talking sence in this medium and not the opposite, It's not a most comments should be made on every post here. Personally, I see no need for all the insults and name callings; I wonder if some of us would use such comments on our own mothers!!

I really wonder how people reason on this forum. Some people just want to be heard. Wha's wrong with the minister saying he wants to tackle corruption in her ministry? Has she said she wants to take over the job of Mrs Waziri or anybody People should learn to read and think before commenting

Basics007:
Maybe i'm being naive but what else is there to investigate? Boko Haram has already admitted to be the brain behind d attack so what else?
Instead of wasting time on investigation that whose result will never see d light of the day why dont we just invite the Israeli Mossad to smoke out these miscreants. Those guys no dey take eyes see militants,dem go wipe dem commot from the face of earth in no time

perhaps we can give it a try!

Acutex:
, oya where is IKEBE IDI?? Come and justify 'em. Lemme guess, They're protesting Mr Lootnathan's indifference to the lagos floods, eh

@Lootnathan

Hello Quincy,

I sent yu an email and I've not gotten a reply up till this moment. I even sent you a friend request on fb and d story is the same-pending.

Please I wanna know if you're still in business, so I'd know what next to do.

Thank you.

Access Bank is shit! I did my training at Skye Bank in 2008 and though, I have never attended training anywhere else, I think their training ranks highly amongst their peers. With a monthly salary of N40k and free accommodation and plenty food (I actually grew astronomically in size), Access bank is just crazy. I'm sure this stupid contract will violate some kind of laws. My fiancee is about to sign this crazy bond and I'm just helpless.

I believe  a lot of people are corrupt but the key to solving this menace lies almost solely with the leadership. Let's have serious persons in the corridors of power and the rest of the country will "take dressing"!

I won't dismiss this completely as a fraud; it might not be. I work with Skye Bank and I am aware that sometimes a region or unit may choose to do some internal recruitment, which is definitely not from the Head Office. These staff will not be full/permanent staff. I have had instances when my branch manager would inform us to submit CVs of ND holders who are interested in doing some form of marketing, at a very short notice! So it might actually not be a scam.
I also think asking for people's profiles, by way of CVs, is not the best way to go about it as suspicions will be more than rife that it is a scam. If you actually don't mind, send and if you feel suspicious about it, then it's up to you.
