Amber Roses Praises Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Parenting Of Their Transgender Child

The couple are hugely supportive of their eight-year-old son, John
By Stephanie Soteriou | omg – 3 hours ago

Model Amber Rose has come forward to shed a whole load of praise on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's amazing parenting skills.
The 31-year-old has spoken out in support of the way that the mega-famous couple have handled their eldest biological child's gender confusion, and to be honest, we can't blame her because they're bloomin' incredible parents.
The Jolie-Pitts have always supported John.
John was born female and given the name 'Shiloh', however the couple have revealed that at eight years old he wants people to call him 'John', something which they accepted immediately.
Speaking to Vanity Fair all the way back in 2010, when John was just four years old, Brad explained: "She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair.
"She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers."
Since then the proud parents have said that John will correct anybody who calls him 'Shiloh', and they now only use male pronouns.
John dresses the same as his older brothers. And dad.
Taking to Instagram last night, Amber shared a photo of John dressed in a suit and tie like his brothers at a recent red carpet event, captioning the pic Amber wrote:
"How gorgeous is John Jolie Pitt?! Born into the perfect family for him. #TransKids #LoveurKidsNoMatterWhat #Support "
Amber's support comes hours after the tragic story of a transgender teen came to light.
Poignantly, her vouch of support comes just hours after the tragic suicide note of a transgender teen, Leelah Alcorn, came to light, which sadly explained how she had committed suicide following her mother's refusal to accept that she was not male.

Here's hoping that Brad and Ange's positive example of how to support your children no matter what only helps to avoid heartbreaking stories like this in the future.
High five to Brangelina - They have this parenting thing down to a T.

Not just married one but can refer you to her testimonies online but no need dragging all that up. Will just say don't start what you can't finish.

If it is sin to counsel you lot against bloodshed and leaving the home front unprotected while your best and brightest chase livelihoods from Lagos to Timbuktu then forgive me. Next time I see fire about to burn your house down I shall keep my peace.

IgrigiMercenery:


**grins** #LOLS, He reminds me Mayoroflagos and his Imaginary Igbo wife. Getting an Igbo bride seems to be their crave. Wonder what's chasing them from their own women. Maybe it is because they are Stinkies. **LOLS**

And that somehow precludes me from giving sound, pacifist counsel?

Neplusultra:
And yet u married from Enugu??

With the handwriting becoming so clear on the wall, with PDP candidates assured of cushy seats won by hook or crook preferring to be nobodies in APC, we need to be very wary and prayerful in case the GEJ camp goes for the Samson option. If you don't know what that option is pls reread your book of Judges in the bible and see Samson's greatest victory over the Philistines.

Again, I say: WOW!!!!!!!!

Reps aspirant dumps PDP after winning party’s primary, joins APC for Osinbajo

December 30, 2014Agency Report
Ayisha-Osori

A People Democratic Party, PDP, House of Representative aspirant, Aisha Osori, has denounced the PDP to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, after emerging winner on the platform of the PDP.

Ms. Osori made the announcement on Tuesday in Abuja while briefing journalists at the APC national secretariat.
Ms. Osori emerged winner at the recent AMAC/Bwari federal constituency primary in the Federal Capital Territory.

Ms. Osori, who was presented with the membership card of the APC, told journalists she decided to defect after watching the APC primary because she believed in APC’s vice presidential candidate, Yemi Osibanjo, who was her lecturer at one time.

“I decided to denounce membership after watching the APC conduct its presidential primary in a fair and competitive manner and after seeing the combination of Osibanjo and Buhari, both men of integrity,” Ms. Osori said.

“Osibanjo used to teach me at the University of Lagos, faculty of law, I believe that is a great combination that would move the country forward and I want to be part of that team,’’ she said.

According to her, the APC slogan “Change” is enough reason to support the party as she was sure of winning the on the platform of APC.

Ms. Osori noted that more than 70 per cent of Nigerians were youth who wanted the change that “APC represents’’.

On what her contribution would be to ensure the success of the APC at the general elections, Ms. Osori, who leads the non-governmental organization, Nigerian Women’s Trust Fund, cited experience.

“The years of experience I garnered in the private sector as a lawyer and also as writer, first with Thisday and later with Leadership newspapers, will be of value to APC.

Reacting to the defection, the APC National Secretary, Mai-Mala Buni, who presented the membership card to Ms. Osori, expressed delight because his party was waxing stronger by the day.

“Such event will be a continuous thing. Our doors are open. Everybody, who is ready to join the party, is welcome anytime, any day,’’ he said. (NAN)

Realism and pointing out the consequence of violence and deserting the home front is 'hate comment'? Keep seeing the world through your rose tinted glasses then.

credid:
with dis kinda hate comment from a supposed brother....one nigeria indeed

As I said at the beginning: A dog, no matter how ferocious, cannot defend two homes at the same time.

Strategically speaking, Igbos cannot hold on to foreign lands and hope to defend the home front when push comes to shove. Perish all dreams of claiming Lagos, PH, Abuja etc and still having a home to return to if naija ever divides / goes to war (same thing really). You will just find yourselves losing on all fronts so wise up.

Collynzo22:

When did you conduct your census that gave you those figures?
Besides, what exactly do you want? One minute you are castigating Igbo males for not being at home to defend their people, when presented with facts and evidence that there are more than enough able bodied youths to do just that, you come up with your message of non-violence.
Are you a confused nitwit or what?

Keep on stoking the fire. I guess you all forget that there are more Southern 'hostages' in the North than Northern 'hostages' in the South. So Igbos kill the less than 1m Northerners, even if we count the Middlebelters, among them and the North retaliates by killing more than 5m Igbo BREADWINNERS among them. We Southerners pride ourselves in how educated we are so I guess the mathematicians among us can tell me who 'wins' with that score.

Normality:


Brother dem never sabi, I am not an advocate of violence, but what I witnessed in 2000/2001 no northerner should Bleep up, they butchered more than 50 mallams in an hour for my area

Serfdom in GEJ's Transformed 21st Century Niger Delta. At least they can be consoled that their 'brother' has been in power for over five years. surely there is nothing better they can ask for.

Odi people just got N15b from the FGN but the same govt can't find a couple of billion naira to sort out this clan. Abi dey are from the wrong Niger Deltan tribe?

FG and five states owing salaries but NOI say money no miss and oil price won't affect economy.

Ogun state and married an Enugu woman with a son to show for it. A true Nigerian unlike some of us.

lawrencemleopo:

where are you from?

Bakassi: Refugee father uses daughter as collateral for N600,000 loan

December 30, 2014 by Temitayo Famutimi 11 Comments


Apart from hunger and ill health ravaging the camps of displaced Bakassi indigenes, TEMITAYO FAMUTIMI uncovers the story of a 12-year-old girl whose refugee father has pushed into servitude

In the dusty village of Akwa Ikot Eyo Edem, Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State, Edet Okon sat down in front of St. Mark Primary School.

Sitting cross-legged on the concrete floor on one of the blocks of classrooms he now calls his home, the 40-year-old father of three leaned forward to exchange pleasantries with this correspondent.

Okon’s immediate family members and 963 other households had fled their ancestral homes in Efut Obot Ikot in the ceded Bakassi Peninsula in March 2013.

In the beginning

They escaped the alleged sacking of their villages and fishing posts by Cameroonian gendermanes in which some Bakassi indigenes reportedly lost their lives, while scores sustained varying degrees of life-threatening injuries.

The onslaught followed the Federal Government’s handing over of the ceded Bakassi Peninsular to Cameroon in 2007, in compliance with a 2002 International Court of Justice judgment.

After having travelled by boat and foot over several kilometers to safety, they took shelter in two of the three blocks of classrooms at St. Mark Primary School, and another classroom block at Community Secondary School in the same Akwa Ikot Eyo Edem community.

Okon, like his fellow displaced Bakassi indigenes, left behind all his property and means of livelihood, majorly fishing nets and boats, as they ran for dear life.

The Cross River State Government took responsibility for their feeding since they relocated from Bakassi. But since September 2014, relief materials, including food stuffs, have not been provided for the hundreds of displaced indigenes camped in the two schools.

The camps had literally been turned into a melting pot for hungry and largely sick refugees, many of who now live on handouts from churches and local farmers in the community.

His daughter now a collateral

Okon, who joined our correspondent on a tour of the overcrowded refugee camps, appeared less bothered about the life of squalor they now lead.

The fisherman lost his first daughter, Blessing, to the cold hands of death in September 2013, after battling with blood cancer for five months.

But Okon’s agony did not end with Blessing’s death. Indeed, he now lives in the pool of the anguish of a man who has to practically sell his child into slavery. To raise funds for the series of medical tests, drugs, feeding and hospital bills incurred by Blessing, he opted to secure loans from someone to save her dying daughter.

With no property to guarantee the loan, Okon gave up his second daughter, Mary, as collateral to secure the sum of N600, 000 given to him in installments.

Our correspondent gathered that the creditor is a civil servant based in Calabar.

“I was desperate to save Blessing from dying. Her situation had become critical at that time. That was the only thing I could do to salvage the situation. I am heartbroken,” Okon said, as his voice faded off, breaking down in tears.

As tears rolled down his cheeks, he recalled the day he ‘sold’ her daughter into servitude.

“I don’t know what came over me. It was sheer desperation I gave out my daughter so that the man would accept to give us the money,” Okon added, fighting back regrets of what many are likely to regard as condemnable.

Ufot

Our correspondent reached out to the intermediary, Daniel Ufot. He helped Okon to negotiate the N600, 000 loan from the creditor. On getting to the residence of the 59-year-old Ufot, who lives some five kilometres away from the camp, our correspondent found Mary in his residence.

Ufot explained that some plain-cloth security operatives keeping watch on the camp had asked him to bring Mary from Calabar to meet with his father who he had not seen in 19 months.

“I do not know Okon from Adam. But since I’m an expert in money lending, I offered to help him after having learnt of his predicament on how he had been battling to save the life of his daughter.

“But unfortunately, he could not provide any form of collateral to secure the loan. But the creditor, in his magnanimity, agreed to have her daughter as collateral since she was the only valuable ‘thing’ he could offer,” Ufot said.

In a chat with this correspondent, Mary, who was a junior secondary school 2 pupil before they left Bakassi in March, 2013, has since dropped out of school following their displacement from the oil rich peninsular. She shared horrible tales of inhuman treatment in the hands of her father’s creditor.

Every morning, Mary hawks bottle water on the streets of Calabar, where, incidentally, Mary Slessor stopped the killing of twins. Observers may also spot the irony in the name of the legendary missionary and the enslaved Mary Okon. She added that on any day she failed to exhaust the sales of her wares, her new guardians descended heavily on her, beating her mercilessly in the process.

“The man my father is owing has three female children and some other relatives are also putting up with us in the house. They normally give me a revenue target of N1, 000 daily.

“And sometimes when the market is bad and I don’t finish selling the water, they beat me up. They treat me very badly. I eat only once in a day and that is in the morning.

“I wash all their clothes, including the ladies’ pants, and do other house chores, too. And if I hesitate on washing their pants, they get infuriated and throw objects at me at will. I will not feel happy if I go back there,” she narrated.

Yet, Ufot insisted that he only brought Mary to meet with his father as a respite since he had not set his eyes on her for about 19 months.

“There are no signs that they would be repaying the loan. I only obeyed the instruction of the security men. She will be on her way back to the creditor’s place in Calabar,” Ufot said.

When contacted, the Refugee Camp Leader, Etim Ene, confirmed to our correspondent on the telephone on Monday that Mary has indeed returned to the creditor in Calabar.

Ene said, “Mary has been taken to the creditor’s house in Calabar South. He was taken away by the guarantor, on December 2.”

Efforts by our correspondent to trace the address of the creditor, whose name is given as Asuquo Etim, said to be residing on Atimbo Road, Calabar South Local Government Area, was abortive. The creditor is said to be an employee of the Cross River State Urban Development Agency.

Ufot had earlier refused to allow Mary to travel with our correspondent to her master’s residence for fear of the unknown.

Mary’s mother was away in the farm during a visit by The Punch.

Is this what we get when able bodied young people, particularly males, are exported to Lagos and other places in search of the good life while the home front is left for grannies and babies to defend? A dog, no matter how ferocious, cannot defend two homes at the same time.

Fulani Herdsmen Threaten Abia Villagers over Missing Cows

30 Dec 2014

Some Fulani herdsmen have caused the people of Okporenyi village in Bende community, Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, to go into hiding, after they threatened to attack them over missing cows.

A source in the Abia Police State Command said some Fulani herdsmen had threatened to attack the village soon if their cows, allegedly stolen by the villagers, were not produced, reported the Nigeria Political Economist.

According to a member of the village, trouble started on the eve of Christmas when a group of herdsmen stormed the village, threatening to raid the village if they failed to locate their missing cows.

The source said after the warning, the herdsmen in the wee hours of the following day, invaded farmlands in the village with their cattle, destroying a lot of crops in the process. It was gathered that farmlands in the village had come under incessant attacks by cows of the herdsmen while complaints by the villagers had fallen on deaf ears.

The source added that after a few days, the herdsmen came to the village again, this time with some policemen, alleging that they were searching for one of the cattle breeders, a young boy.

The source said an attempt by one of the villagers, identified as Onyi, to exonerate the village from any involvement in the whereabouts of the alleged missing boy, earned him the wrath of one of the herdsmen, who attacked him with a machete, opening a cut on Onyi’s upper arm despite the presence of the police.

The source said the police did not however take it kindly with the invader as he was seriously upbraided.

According to the source, the villagers now live in fear of imminent raid by the herdsmen, who had attacked some communities in the Middle Belt as well as part of Enugu State in recent times over grazing land.

The source said it was unthinkable for landlords to live in dread of strangers in their own land, and appealed to the Abia State Government to quickly come to their aid.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr.Geoffrey Ogbonna, confirmed the incident, but said: “The police are on top of the situation.”

The PPRO said talks had been initiated with both parties with a view to resolving the face-off. He assured the villagers of full protection of their lives and property, advising them not to take the law into their hands.

Today's Daily Sun but nobody wants the dissolution of naija. I hope Biafra's territory is well defined this time around. Small time now we go hear say Biafra includes Lagos

Biafran team to AU gets warm reception
0
By Our Reporter on December 29, 2014 COVER

FROM DAVID ONWUCHEKWA, NNEWI

The delegation of the Supreme Council of the Elders of In­digenous People of Biafra was accorded warm reception at a five-day meeting of the African Union (AU) held in Nairobi, Kenya.

The team returned to the country at the weekend even as another group dispatched to Cote D’Ivoire to thank the government and the people for harbouring the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu during his sojourn between1970 and 1982, has also returned. The Nigerian civil war ended in 1970.

Briefing newsmen in Nnewi, Anambra State yesterday, Deputy Chairman of the group, Dr Dozie Ikedife, said the pro-Biafran group which had recently been admitted as a member of Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) of the AU sent its delegation for the first time since admission to be part of delebrations at the Africa’s apex body to facilitate its diplomatic approach for self-determination.

“The delegates have returned. The meeting in Nairobi, Kenya lasted between December 18 and 22. Reports showed they were warmly received and given a place of recognition and honour to participate fully as members at the ECOSOCC meeting. They met other representatives from other countries and exchanged cordialities with them,” Dr Ikedife said.

Although he did not disclose the outcome of the meeting since it did not concern the pro-Biafran group alone, according to him, there would be a stronger delegation at the next meeting for fuller and more active participation. According to him, the Bilie Human Rights Initiative was on course as a legal arm of the pro-Biafran group to handle legal matters.

The former President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo also said the group sent to Cote D’Ivoire had returned.

He said “32 years after our brother, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu returned from Cote D’Ivoire, we feel obliged that according to customary law, if somebody has done you a favour, no matter how long it has taken, you will go and say ‘thank you’. We sent a delegation of three people, comprising a medical doctor, a religious leader up to the rank of a bishop and a well articulated Biafran war veteran. They went with a thank-you letter and some gift items according to our custom. The government and people of ICote D’Ivoire received them with appreciation.

Dr Ikedife said the same thank-you visit would be paid to Gabon which he said sent relief materials to war devastated Igbo and lifted their kwashiokor stricken children to take care of them.

He also said plans had reached an advanced stage to give a befitting funeral to Igbo sons and daughters who died during the civil war. He said a group had attempted to do that but could not. He said a governor, whose name he did not mention, had agreed to organize the funeral.

Would GMB leave such stolen wealth in their hands? Both she and the Babagindas she fronts for? As ex oil Minister he surely can get sources who will give him the full lowdown on all the deals including Malabu. We should expect oyel billionaires to defend their ill gotten billions DESPERATELY.

“It is widely believed that Alakija’s friendship with Maryam Babangida, the late wife of former head of state, Ibrahim Babangida, played a huge role in her relatively inexpensive acquisition of the oil block back in 1993,” the magazine noted.

No be like that o but some people had banked on PDP cornering the SE votes by fielding an Igbo as running mate to Agbaje. Now the chips have fallen differently it is good to get closure so we can all gather ammunition against 2019 while we deploy shells meant for this battle to the main GMB vs GEJ war.

mentorandfriend:
You people want to start another e-war here again, abi? As if it was an agreement initially.

With both APC and PDP not featuring Igbos on their guber tickets I guess this battle will resume in 2019. Let us sheathe the swords for now and concentrate on getting GMB into Aso Rock

Agbaje picks female running mate for 2015


The governorship candidate of the PDP in Lagos, Mr Jimi Agbaje on Sunday announced Alhaja Safurat Abdulkareem as his running mate for the 2015 election in the state.

NAN reports that Agbaje made the announcement in a statement, signed on his behalf, by his Director of Publicity, Mr Felix Oboagwina.

Abdulkareem was running mate to late PDP governorship candidate, late Mr Funso Williams in 2003.

Abdulkareem, a trained teacher and an accountant, is the wife of a retired Air Force officer and holds an MBA degree.

The statement quoted her as saying that she would complement her principal, and assist in ushering into Lagos “a refreshing atmosphere, devoid of state-brewed intimidation and human rights abuses”.

“I feel humbled about being chosen for this noble responsibility.

“Mr. Jimi Agbaje is an amiable personality. He is a complete gentleman. I hope I can really, really complement him and assist him in winning the 2015 election because Lagosians strongly desire a change in government,” she said.

Describing PDP’s chances in the governorship polls as very bright, the deputy governorship candidate said she and Agbaje were entering the race at a time when Lagosians wanted to break the shackles of subjugation that had held them bound for 16 years.

“Our chances are very bright. Everybody wants a change in Lagos. They want personalities who can bring positive programmes to their lives. We want to usher into Lagos a better way of governance, devoid of coercion and intimidation,” she said.

Born 23rd June 1961 to the family of Mr. Abdulmananu Mofolorunsho Layode and Mrs. Risikat Ayinke Layode, Abdulkareem began her educational life in Ansar-ud-Deen Primary School, Badagry, Lagos, between 1966 and 1972.

From 1975 to 1980, she attended Government Teachers’ College, Badagry, where she obtained a Teacher’s Grade II Certificate.

She, thereafter, proceeded to the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, from 1985 to 1987 for an Ordinary National Diploma (OND) in Accounting, followed by a Higher National Diploma (HND) from the Kano State Polytechnic (1990).

In 2006, she completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Management from the University of Ado-Ekiti.

Starting out in her working career as an Accounting Officer with Bintu Binta Trading Company, Kano, in 1987, Mrs. Abdulkarim later returned to the South-West, where she rose to become the General Manager of the Ikeja, Lagos-based Disk Engineering Limited (1990 to 1996), and later Managing Director of Transmit Network (1996 to 1999).

A Doctor of Crayfish in Aso Rock? No wonder!

When we realise that the greatest pet hate of Nigerians is oil subsidy thieves then we will realise why screwing up his courage to the sticking point and saving us from them might just be GEJ's best campaign move. I don't expect the pusillanimous GEJ crowd to find that courage even at the bottom of a cask of kaikai though.

Any govt with courage would seize this opportunity as it also blocks the largest drain pipe in the economy corruption wise and will virtually neutralise the income loss from falling oil prices. But this step would require a govt with courage, a govt that hates corruption and a govt that gives a damn about the survival of Nigeria and Nigerians.

‘Drop In Oil Price, Chance To End Fuel Subsidy’

AGENCY REPORTS, EMEKA UMEJEI
— Dec 24, 2014 | 4 Comments

The tumbling price of oil that has slashed Nigeria’s revenue and shaken currency and stock markets presents Nigeria with an opportunity to discontinue fuel subsidies that amount to $7billion annually, reports Bloomberg.

However, some analysts say that President Goodluck Jonathan may not explore such option with elections in view in February.

“Politics often trumps prudence and there’s an entrenched social expectation for fuel to be subsidized,” said Gareth Brickman, an analyst at Johannesburg-based ETM Analytic, who was quoted by Bloomberg.

“The last time subsidies were reduced, there were widespread protests, and given how contentious the political environment is in Nigeria with the elections and ongoing ethnic divisions, it is likely this will be the case again.”

Managing director of BIC Consulting, Dr. Boniface Chizea, concurs that “the president appreciates that fuel subsidy is a hot potato with elections in view”.

For his part, the president, Independent Shareholders’ Association of Nigeria (ISAN), cautioned that oil slump is just under a few weeks, and therefore not enough reason to rush into removing fuel subsidy, which could backfire when oil prices recover.

“I am an advocate for the removal of fuel subsidy in the oil sector but we do not need to make such decision in haste. We must be very careful,” Nwosu warned.

However, Chizea said it is possible to remove fuel subsidy but with a proviso that the “landing cost must be at least at N97 for it to happen. And that should not in any way translate to increase in pump price as being speculated.”

I am trying to recall her face but 38 years don tay. Was in Form 2/3 then but Mr Ojo is stamped on my mind forever. He and other relatively old teachers - Mr and Mrs Matthews etc - made the strongest impressions on my mind then but unluckily most of those have now moved on to the great beyond. I have always said BFHS made all the difference to BRF. Often I see the impact of specific school facilities like the library or things like the school hymn and motto (Trained for Duty and for Thee) in him and am reassured that learning makes the man. I wish he had raised each LASG school to at least the BFHS standard that made all the difference to us all during his eight years in office.

FFK, Working Hard For His Money. I hope PDP has provided him with enough money to cover his libel suits.

You are the one who is deceived. Adiyan was started by Jakande in the 2nd republic with a world bank loan if I recall rightly and was supposed to supplement massively what Lagos was getting then from the Iju waterworks. The most recent development is that BRF commissioned an IPP that was set up just to ensure Adiyan could pump water at least 90% of the time. This is what has led to the massive uptick in availability of public water in Lagos so much so that I have seen water hydrants being installed in my area. There is one right outside my estate and another one by the fence of Atan cemetery.

Ahmeduana:

I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE LIES BEEN SOLD TO YOU BY YOUR STATE GOVERNOR!

Each person should pls take his state of residence and react line by line so we can uphold or debunk as teh case may be. I live in Lagos and shall do justice to the Lagos claims:

LAGOS STATE:
Lagos – Kano Rail Revival Commissioning of New Air Conditioned Train Coaches and other rail way Services in Lagos: I drive across Jibowu crossing daily and see these A/C trains and can attest that they are always almost empty. I read reports when they were launched that tickets were too expensive particularly when one considers the market (Alagbado - Abule Egba axis) they were meant to serve. As for the Lagos - Kano train - i don't know why anyone would want to spend 36 hours in a train getting from Lagos to Kano. Is that how bad the roads are now?
*SURE – P Projects on Primary Health Centre.: What does this mean? Where and what are they?
*e – Wallet System in the distribution of the agricultural inputs to the Farmers and the Dry Season Farming Projects.: I am a farmer with 50 acres under cultivation. My farm is in teh state teh Agric minister hails from and I must say all my efforts at LG office and state Agric ministry have yielded no fruit concerning his many claims to fame. I will echo teh previous Agric minister who stated that the facts on ground do not support the amount of noise this fellow has been making. If na by awards naija by now would be making more money from agric than from oyel. .
*Construction of Adiuyan water works phase II near Lagos. Since when did Adiyan water works become a federal project? Is that not the same water works LASG just built an IPP for in order to boost pumping up time since PDP has failed to improve power in the last 15 years?
*Third Mainland Bridge phase 2. : Has something been added to the 3MB when we weren't looking abi what phase 2 are they talking about? Could it be the remedial work BRF forced them to do when the bridge was almost falling down that they are referring to? So what should BRF say then about the Eko Bridge whose joints he has just done a spanking remedial work on? Eko bridge remains a federal asset so I hope PDP will remember to count it as a demerit.
*Apapa – Orile – Mile 2 – Cele, Osdi road rehabilitated: Is this why the RCCG GO, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, spent three hours on the road last week when going to the annual Vanguard newspaper event? This was despite the earlier announced deployment of FRSC and LASTMA to the road for the event to ease his passage. I hope PDP can see why certain men of God might have silently switched sides. Bad enough that you are non performers but totally inexcusable when you tell such lies when the whole world can see the contrary.
*The Federal Government under writes a ₦40B loan for infrastructural and educational development in Lagos (2014): The FGN necessarily has to sign off on every foreign loan any state takes as required by law and this is done for all state loans so not sure how this counts as an achievement. Is the FGN going to pay back the loan or did they conceive the project?
*Rehabilitation of the Muritala Muhammed International Airport Lagos: That must explain why this airport was rated as one of the worst in AFRICA just last week.
*Lagos – Sagamu road rehabilitated: My wife works on this road and I have been on it myself a few times this year. May God forgive PDP for such painful lies because we all know how many Nigerian lives continue to be needlessly lost on this and other ill maintained roads daily.
*Installation of 1000 Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras to boost security of lives and property: Not a single one of these CCTVs works. Most are even now vandalised since they were never energised. The painful part is that BRF had his own plan to put in place comprehensive CCTV coverage for Lagos but the PDP thieves insisted on making Lagos part of the scam they planned. Even the Police HQ qas bombed and till tomorrow we have no CCTV image. Ditto for all teh Abuja bombings despite the billions sunk into this project.
*Ikorodu – odogunyan – Shagamu 132KV double circuit transmission line: High tension cable too be presidential accomplishment? So many more minutes of power do we get as a result or will the cable transmit power not generated? Maybe na line for drying our clothes snince our washer / driers don't work without power.

*Federal Government College Laboratory refurbished in Ijanikin – Lagos.: Can anyone imagine Obama or even BRF showcasing the refurbishment of a high school? Here we have GEJ shouting from the roof top that he has refurbished a high school lab! Even that will turn oput lies as I can bet a visit to the school will reveal nothing achieved beyond party 'stalwarts' enriched.
*Rehabilitation of the National Theatre Iganmu – lagos.: The theatre was concessioned and nothing special has happened there apart from a nuisance gate being put up at the Ijora end. What manner of rehabilitation are they talking about?
*Establishment of Nigerian Army dog Centre at Ipaja lagos.: This dog centre as far as I know has been there since when GEJ was walking around Otueke shoelessly.
*Establishment of Cancer Treatment Centre at the Federal Medical Centre, Ebutte Metta.: I live at Yaba and lost two very close people to cancer in 2012 and 2014. They were treated at Reddington, LUTH, LASUTH and in India. This is the first I am hearing that of a cancer treatment centre at Ebute Metta yet I have a cousin who works as a doctor at the EM PHC.
*Establishment of Maritime Institute at the University of Lagos: News to me. Is this how Tompolo intends to invade Lagos?
