See him eye

There was rancour this afternoon in a while street in the Gbagada area of Lagos where a suspected robber was caught and man-handled by a mob. One of the eye witnesses claimed the guy's movement was some how suspicious in the area as he was moving to and fro the street before deciding to cut corner into a secluded building when he was accosted by a man and was being interrogated as to what he was doing at the location.

But when it became obvious that he had no solid explanation to convince the man of his business there, he bolted and was immediately chased by the man and other people that later joined in.

He was eventually caught, but all he could mutter was " I am not a thief, am just passing by"

When famous journalist Mickel (name changed to protect his family) shot himself to death recently, many of his colleagues wondered why. After all, Leonard had ‘arrived’, so to speak. With the help of his wife, Hazel, who had abandoned her poorly-paid teaching job in Zimbabwe to go to the United Kingdom to work as a nurse, he had bought a house in a respectable part of Harare.

Leonard had never wanted his wife to go and work in the UK. But when he lost his job at a leading financial newspaper, he found himself at the ‘deep end’: freelance journalism and irregular PR and consultancy work. He had no choice but to let her go despite his fears, which were soon realised when Hazel, through a Nigerian colleague, fell into the hands of the UK’s notorious criminal underworld as a prostitute. Being a married professional made her vulnerable to blackmail and thus attractive to Nigerian crooks, who used her to solicit from loaded Ukrainians, Middle Easterners and Asians. Eventually, Hazel built a mansion in Borrowdale and established a clothing business in the city centre from the proceeds of crime in the UK.

Investigations by Zimbabwenewsday have now exposed a massive illicit sex racket stretching from Harare to the UK, involving women who are often involved with two men or more at once, living with them in different countries, risking HIV/AIDS. This was the real reason for Leonard’s suicide. His wife was living with another man in the UK, apart from working as a part-time prostitute, all taboo actions in Zimbabwe.

Leonard discovered this and told a few friends and close relatives. To cover her tracks, Hazel made his visa application fail repeatedly for ten years by entering wrong information. Leonard had not seen his wife since he gave her a farewell hug at Harare airport as she took off on a perilous journey that has ruined many marriages in Zimbabwe. But she sent money regularly as Leornard was taking care of their two children, a boy and a girl who were going to school.

We found that a large number of mansions and businesses built by some cunning women in the diaspora are built from the proceeds of prostitution.

Leonard was shocked to discover that his wife had joined the bandwagon of Zimbabwean women who use the anonymity of the UK to peddle their bodies for cash. Collectively these ‘naughty wives’ sell sex and send home millions every year.

The figures are crucial to the economic survival of this southern African nation, where epic unemployment of 96 percent has made men depend on the migratory skills of their wives for survival. The husbands, like Leonard and other executives who were too embarrassed to go to the UK to take up nursing jobs, are all too happy about the cash, material benefits and new status in society to monitor the behaviour of their wives abroad.

According to a United States government report, sex trafficking of Zimbabwean women is rampant in the UK and growing as the economic situation unravels for the migrants back home.

Nigerian websites such as nairaland often carry lively discussions about the reputed sensuality of Zimbabwean women, who are often desperate and want sex and everything else to happen fast so they get paid and send money to their husbands and relatives. Many Zimbabwean women offer themselves for sale on match-making services like Meetup and antipodate, giving false profiles and claiming to be single, in violation of rules.

The State Department report says many of the women are lured to the UK with false promises of jobs and are then turned into sex slaves.

http://www.blackberrybabes.com/2016/06/traffic-light-cause-accidents-in-enugu.html

Some motorists in Enugu have expressed anger over dysfunctional traffic control lights in parts of the state capital.

Our correspondent observed that motorists approaching from different directions were given the green light to move at the same time, leading to accidents.



Such dysfunctional traffic lights are found in various parts of Enugu metropolis, particularly on Presidential Road in the New Layout area, as well as Ogui Road, Uwani, GRA, Independence Layout and other parts of the Coal City.

Some motorists, who spoke with Southern City News concerning the matter, blamed defective traffic lights for most of the accidents and other inconveniences on roads within the Enugu metropolis.

Our correspondent learnt that a major car cra sh on Uwani Street during the weekend resulted from a malfunctioning traffic light, which caused two vehicles from opposite directions to collide.

A motorist, Mr. James Eke, expressed displeasure over the development.

Eke told our correspondent his car once ran into another vehicle at the intersection between Presidential Road and Rangers Avenue because of a dysfunctional traffic light.

He said, “I was coming from Presidential Road, heading for Rangers Avenue and the traffic light stopped me at the intersection.

“I waited for the green light, but, surprisingly, when I drove off after the lights turned green, the cars on the opposite side, which were also going to Rangers Avenue, moved at the same time.

“I ran into another car. Had it not been that my brakes were in order, it would have been a fatal accident.

“Initially, I blamed the driver of the other vehicle, but I later realised that none of us was responsible for what happened – the traffic lights on the two sides turned green at the same time, signaling the two streams of vehicles on either side to move, even though we were entering the same lane from different directions.”

Another motorist, Ikenna Chidi, said his car was damaged as a result of dysfunctional traffic lights.

“I was in Edinburgh Street, heading out through WTC and although the red light had stopped those cars moving to the left, the green light signaled those going to the right to move and I was going to the right, along Mkpokiti Road towards UNEC. The problem was that Edinburgh Street, where I was, was narrow and other cars were coming into the street from the opposite direction.

“There was not enough space to maneuver to move to the right but I attempted it and my car was hit by another vehicle”, Chidi said.

Lucas Eme, a taxi driver, told our correspondent that he had a similar experience at the traffic light leading from Edinburgh Street to Mkpokiti Road.

“I don’t think a traffic light should be on that junction (between Edinburgh Street and Mkpokiti Road) in the first place.

“It is not necessary,” he said.

Attempts to get officials of the Enugu State Ministry of Transport to react to the complaints over dysfunctional traffic lights were not successful as at the time of filing this report.

Singer, Brymo who is a university drop out advised a fan of his to do the same after the fan asked the singer for N65,000 to pay his school fees.

The fan told Brymo in a tweet,
“Please sir kindly help me with anything you have I need to pay for my tuition fee which is 65000 please shower mercy on me,“.

Brymo had no other words for the fan than to ask him to drop out of school. Brymo told the follower,
“School is not for everyone. Just drop out and chase your dreams, it’s what I did..

Brymo dropped out of LASU where he was studying Zoology after his sophomore year to pursue a musical career. His hastily decision to quit school was a result of his father not being able to pay his school fees

Fans are bashing Brymo for the advise he handed out. What are your thoughts?

This old man was spotted in Ibadan carrying a baby girl on his back, while driving a bike. Well I see nothing wrong in this. It is quite hilarious though, but so many things must have led to that. The tod could be the man's grand-daughter or better still his daughter.

It is only considered odd because we don't often see men carrying babies on their backs, not to talk of riding a bike at the same time.

http://www.blackberrybabes.com/2016/05/the-nigerian-stock-market-is-crashing.html

The Nigerian stock market crashed by N1.732tn within one year of the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.

The Nigerian Stock Exchange data showed that the NSE market capitalisation on May 28, 2015 was N11.658tn, while that of May 27, 2016 was N9.926tn.


Market capitalisation is the total market value of the shares outstanding of a publicly traded company.

The NSE All-Share Index also crashed to 28,902.25 basis points from 34,310.37 basis points.

Investors in the country’s capital market (equity category) lost over N1.053tn in the first quarter of 2016.

During the first three months this year, the equities market depreciated by 10.79 per cent.

As of the first day of trading this year (January 4), the NSE market capitalisation stood at N9.757tn, while the All-Share Index was 28,370.32 basis points.

But as of the last day of trading in 2016 Q1 (March 31), the market capitalisation and All-Share Index crashed to N8.704tn and 25,306.22 basis points, respectively.

Equity investors in the country’s capital market had, in the first seven trading days on the floor of the NSE in 2016, lost N804tn of their investment’s worth. Market capitalisation after the close of trading on the floor of the Exchange on the first seven days closed at N8.953tn.

The All-Share Index also dropped from 28,370.32 basis points recoded on the first day of trading in 2016 to 26,034.94 on the seventh trading day of this year.

The downward trend in the Nigerian stock market, weeks into 2016, did not show any sign of abating as the market capitalisation continued to fall, with 10 out of the 12 indices of the NSE recording negative stance 10 weeks into 2016.

The market capitalisation of the NSE fell by N811bn in the first 10 weeks of trading this year.

The NSE market capitalisation dropped from N9.75tn on January 4, 2016 to N8.939tn 10 weeks into the year, while the All-Share Index also closed at 25,988.40 basis points from the 28,643.67 basis points recorded on the first trading day of the year.

Investors had also made huge losses in the Nigerian equities market last year as the market capitalisation (equities only) of the NSE shed a total of N2.354tn between December 2014 and December 2015.

The President, Nigerian Stock Exchange, Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, last week, said the country’s capital market could not continue to lag behind in the global arena, adding that it needed to strategise for growth to better the economy.

He said the capital market must facilitate capital raising for economic growth as well as mobilise savings for investment.

Aig-Imoukhuede said part of the strategies was a broad consensus on sectorial priorities for growth, which should feed into policy formation.

He advocated for incentives for priority economic sectors like Information and Communications Technology, while pushing for non-listed national champions to be listed on the NSE for others to follow.

He said, “Nigeria is facing a huge growth challenge. Nigeria, indeed, has a big challenge in terms of growth. Employment rate must grow owing to the fact that the population is also growing very fast. Growth is difficult to realise; so, government must stimulate growth.

“Nigeria is only exaggerating the impacts of falling oil prices now. This is because with a robust financial market the economy can be sustained. The financial market must be encouraged.”

He described the Nigerian financial market as a ‘high-risked’ market, saying the situation was capable of attracting limited investors who could ultimately stop at nothing to maximise returns.

An analyst at WSTC Financial Services Limited, Mr. Tola Oni, said in the last one year, the efficiency of the country’s economy had been constrained by policies – monetary and fiscal.

He noted that the country had not been able to chart the right path in the past one year, saying some actions by the Federal Government in recent times had shown a rethink especially in the partial deregulation of the petroleum downstream sub-sector and the flexible foreign exchange market.

“Our concern is that this flexibility must mean flexibility in the whole sense of it. We’ve seen the capital market make progress recently owing to these. Any attempt by the government to interfere again could drag us back significantly,” he added.

The President, Constance Shareholders Association of Nigeria, Mr. Shehu Mikail, said the happenings in the stock market in the past one year were a reflection of the country’s economic stance, which is very hostile policy-wise

He said the country had been plagued with serious economic and financial challenges, which had resulted in activities being slowed down especially in the financial sphere, which included the NSE.

Mikail added, “The prices can be better if things turn around economically. The 2016 budget had been passed and the implication of the passage would start filtering into the economy in due course. With the recent forex flexibility, we expect the game to change.

To this end, the NSE Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Oscar Onyema, while commenting on the state of the market, had said, “Among emerging markets, recession has materialised in Brazil and Russia, and the trend is likely to continue amid weakening oil and other commodity prices. The Nigerian stock market had already lost $30bn since July 2014.

“In the sub-Saharan Africa, while the recent performance of Nigeria and South Africa, has been lackluster, the overall region has weathered the commodity slump better than Latin America and elsewhere, with growth slated at 4.3 per cent in 2016, up from 3.8 per cent in 2015.”

When he lost his banking job, Mr. Omotade Johnson swallowed his pride and took his destiny in his hands. Today, he makes ends meet by frying and selling puff puff at Igando bus stop in Lagos.

Omotade revealed to a journalist that he was among the people that lost their jobs due to bank liquidation in 2009. Omotade Johnson, a graduate of Mass Communication and former staff of the defunct Intercontinental Bank PLC, would groan only for a while and then, had to move on as a man.

After losing his bank job, he resolved never to apply for any paid job again. He decided to do
something differently. He buried ego and pride, rolled up his sleeves and started the puff puff business.

“Formerly, I worked with Intercontinental Bank PLC. That happened shortly; I lost the job when the bank got liquidated and everything went flat. But, as a man, you have to work and I can’t see anything I can’t do. So that was why I joined the new trend”, the resilient Johnson tells THISDAY.
Fortunately, when he relocated to Lagos in 2012, he met his friends who were into confectionery business and that caught his interest. Subjecting himself to learning the nitty-gritty of the vocation, he was taught by professionals in the business, who could be younger to him by age, but older by virtue of mastery of the trade. He was humble and really wanted to learn.

“The business has been on for the past 11 years; I met it in 2012, when I came to Lagos. I never went to school for it, I learnt it from my friends who were professionals in the business. Although, some of them were younger than me in age then, but that never mattered to me, because all I wanted was for them to teach me how to fry and all other things involved, which they obliged and taught me, even without demanding I should pay money for the training. So, since I joined, the business has been good; I don’t have anything to regret. I’m not lacking any money”, Johnson explained.

Unlike some who despise their occupation for the right or wrong reasons, he loves what he is doing.
“I love the business. It’s quite a profitable one. Of course, if it’s not, this my team you see working here wouldn’t have been here. Because you can’t just wake up early in morning, stay here till night without going home with something that is worth the time and you continue working”.
With his cheerful look, alluring tone and quick service delivery, he has been able to establish good rapport with his regular customers. He knows them by their names and even categorised them by the motive of their patronage.

“I’ve good and reliable customers and we are very friendly to ourselves. Some of them come to buy for personal consumption. May be, they are hungry and need something to eat, so they would decide to go for snacks. They may not want to eat heavy food at that particular time.
“We have people who buy it as appetiser; they’re waiting for the main food and need something to keep them ready. Even some take it as after- meal. You know some people like to take something immediately after their meal, not that they eat too much, but because it’s something that they are used to.
“We also have people who buy it for use at events; they want to use it to refresh their guests. Corporate organisations, like banks, do come to buy for their events, associations come as well, and those who are holding birthday parties, weddings and all such events patronize us too. They know the quality of our snacks and the level of satisfaction they get after eating it and so have no better option than to come to us. So, on the whole, our customers cut across working class people, organisations, school children, bus drivers, okada riders and roadside traders and so on,” he noted.

The affordability of the product is among the reasons why he records high patronage.
“It’s cheap and affordable to both the rich and the poor. You don’t have to pay more. The puff puff and buns go for N10 each, doughnut is N20 while egg roll is N50”.
However, contrary to the belief that the business is a tedious and demanding one, he said he finds the job very easy and interesting.

“Frying is a natural and normal thing that people do on daily basis. Frying puff puff or buns doesn’t require much; it’s just to mix the flour with other ingredients, leave it for some time, to get to a certain state and then, you start frying. So, I don’t think the process involved is hard. And for the raw materials needed, flour must be there, there must be yeast, butter, sugar, and sometimes, milk,” Johnson further explained.
Johnson and his team are professionals who work in synergy; putting their combined efforts in the business to maximise profits and are paid commensurately.

“We work as a professional team. Everybody puts his best in the trade. With the combined efforts and contributions from all of us, we are able to make enough good sales and profits and we pay each other accordingly. It’s a partnership kind of business.”

While most people think it costs huge amount to start up the business and dilly-dally in taking decision on whether to go into it or not, Johnson said the start-up capital is relatively low and affordable.

“To start up the business does not require one having millions. The minimum amount to start it could be within the range of N100, 000 and N120, 000, which I think is not that much compared to the amount of money people spend on drinks. Anybody that is determined to save for it can do it without much stress. Though, we all know that everything is going up right now. So, for the basic things needed for it; flour must be there, which is the major raw material for the production. There should be burner, gas cylinder, the gas itself and some other things. You know without money, you can’t make money.

“Also, you need to have money to pay for space where you will stay to do the business. You can see where we are; we pay for it every year. This is Lagos and you know you can’t run a business here without paying for the space you are using.”
For the business, rainy season is the ideal period and that’s when greater sales and profits are recorded.

“We love rainy season; that’s when the business moves well. During rainy season, people will want to take something hot because of the coldness of the weather. They like it when it’s hot to balance the body system. So during rainy season, the business is very lucrative because that’s when we make more sales.”

For Johnson and his team, the bar is raised for ‘A & B Concept’, his organisation. They dream of seeing the business flourish and become the cynosure of all eyes.
“Everybody has a dream; if God blesses us beyond, we will move A & B Concept to a state where we will be happy to see it flourish and people will want to behold it.”

However, in spite of the joy he derives in the business, one thing stands as a clog in the wheel of his lofty dream. From time to time, officers of Kick Against Indiscipline, an agency of Lagos State Government and the Federal Road Safety Corps, would come and destroy their goods in the name of discharging their responsibility, which would make them start all over again.
“The KAI and the Road Safety come around and sometimes, they would destroy and throw away our market, despite the fact that they know the situation in the country. I don’t know if they expect us to go into stealing or kidnapping.

If you see young men coming out to hustle, I think you are supposed to give them that grace, encourage them and allow them do their business. But instead, you come and destroy their market, pack their things and go away. They will start all over again and you still come back to do the same thing. It’s really worrisome and that’s exactly what we are passing through here”, Johnson said.

una dey hear

Nollywood A-list actress Patience Ozokwor, who is popularly known as "Mama G" who is also famous for her roles as a wicked mother in-law or a witch.

The actress shockingly declared she has given her life to Christ and is now a born again Christian and since then she hasn't pick up any movie role as her new role is in the propagation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She now goes about churches and crusade grounds to preach.

Patience Ozokwor recently shared her Salvation Experience. Where she stated that ladies putting on makeup, trousers and jewellery in the sight of God and continuous usage may take those who do to hell.

She said;

"I normally organise a personal retreat for myself in the first few days of the new year. When it was time to have my 2016 retreat, I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit telling me to fast for 21 days, I complained that I have so many projects to handle such as endorsements and movies to shoot within that period, and the Lord extended it to a 30 days fast due to my complaints.

During this fasting period, The Lord revealed to me, how I will be a voice for him all over the world, how people’s attention will be channelled from my image in Nollywood to the Gospel. One of the things God warned me about, was my dressing and appearance".

Ladies putting on makeup, wearing jewellery and putting on trousers is wrong. I have been preaching to colleagues in Nollywood, but God told me to cut off my dreadlocks, stop wearing jewelry and trousers, I could have gone to Hell, if I had died in December 31, 2015 despite the preaching I have been doing, just because of my appearance"

She further added that; "I want everyone to stop being referring to me as Mama G, as that name was for when I was in the world".

The Federal Government on Tuesday said the pest, Tuta absoluta, popularly known as ‘Tomato Ebola’, which is responsible for the massive destruction of tomato in farmlands, had invaded six states in Nigeria.

It also disclosed that Nigeria spent about N80bn ($400m) annually importing tomato paste, adding that many of the imported products were substandard.



The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Audu Ogbeh, who said this during a press briefing in Abuja, stated that the report that tomato processing factories had mopped-up tomato fruits in Nigeria was unfounded and untrue.

According to him, the highly reproductive nature of the tomato pest coupled with the favourable environment and lack of management knowledge for containment resulted in its spread like a wild fire without any challenge. This development had led to the destruction of tomato fruits in Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Plateau and Lagos.

Ogbeh, however, stated that the Federal Government had started consulting with states and experts in other to fashion out measures to tackle the pest.

He said, “The pest can also attack even pepper and Irish potato. So we are confronting something quite serious. But the good thing is that we are tackling it right now as experts will commence work immediately. We are bringing the commissioners and governors of states to jointly attack this pest, which, if not dealt with, will create serious problems for food security in our country.”

He stated that the experts had, however, offered some varieties of tomato that grow well in the western part of the country as alternatives.

On the amount spent on importing tomato paste, the minister said, “We have two processing plants for tomato paste in Nigeria, Erisco and Dangote, and their capacities are huge. We welcome their arrival because our annual import bill of tomato paste is about $400m and it is a good sign that we can now produce here and make money for our farmers.”

Proffering measures that could be used to check pests as well as manage pesticides in Nigeria, CropLife International, a group of agro-professionals, advocated the use of hazard-based approach rather than a risk-based methodology.

The group, in a communique issued at the end of a two-day West and Central Africa Hub and Regulatory Workshop in Abuja, also called for the promotion and adoption of relevant biotechnologies in farming activities.

In the communique, it insisted on the need for safe and responsible use of pesticides as well as safe management of empty pesticide containers.

During the workshop, CropLife got the support of the Senate towards enacting of a pesticide legislation to mitigate the problem of misuse and address importation of pesticides including marketing, storage, application and use, among other provisions.

This is surely the end time. when men will come out openly to declare themselves gay. From the last time I checked, I though there was a law prohibiting this devilish act? Maybe the law has been abolished.

I am very much sure it is abolished for Idris Okuneye, also know as 'Nigerian Barbie Doll" to have come out and claim he is being paid more than you girls with P*** and boobz.

Who are the ones paying him? Human beings or ghosts?

He even claimed the least he could collect from a toaster is $5000.

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday said that so far, about 600km network of roads and streets in 366 locations across the State has been lit up under the ‘Light Up Lagos’ project initiated by the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration in the last one year.

The State's Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr. Olawale Oluwo, who disclosed this at the ongoing Ministerial Press Briefing at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, said the project has seen the lighting up of major areas of the State including the Third Mainland Bridge, Ikeja and environs, Berger to Iyana Oworo axis, Muritala Muhammed Airport Road, Oshodi axis amongst others.


Oluwo said that in a bid to ensure the sustainability of the project, the State Government has fine-tuned plans to engage 54 private firms, who would be saddled with the responsibility of managing the streetlights going forward.
He explained that most of the street lights are connected to the five Independent Power Plants (IPP) in Lagos State namely; Akute Power Limited, Alausa Power Limited, Mainland Power Limited, Island Power Limited and Lekki Peninsular Power Limited, which, he said, saves the State Government significant cost that would have been incurred on operating and maintaining generating sets.

"The saved resources are now being channeled to lighting up more locations within the State under the operation “Light up Lagos” initiative of the present administration,” he said.
During the period under review, the Commissioner also said that the State Electricity Board rehabilitated Public Street Lighting in the 366 locations including the rehabilitation and connection of part of the Third- Mainland Bridge to the Island Power Plant all measuring close to 600km of Roads and Streets across the State.

He said that Governor Ambode has also given approval for the electrification of the 37 rural communities around Seme Border, adding that some streetlights hitherto managed by the federal agencies and local governments had been taken over by the State Government.

Oluwo however used the occasion to warn against destruction of streetlights pole and cables by the residents, saying whoever damages any street lights would bear the cost of re-fixing them.

Following the discovery of crude oil in the state by the Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Company, the Commissioner said that the State has established Ibile Oil and Gas to manage oil related issues, assuring that Lagos will be a bigger business hub with the development as more employment would be created.

Oluwo said: "What this means is that we have own company that will not run like NNPC. Our own Ibile Oil and Gas will operate in upstream, midstream and downstream sector. It will not only be involved in exploration but is also going to probably build its own petrol station.

“We must be able to give Lagos Energy security such that if anything happens outside or NNPC shuts down operation, we must be able to power Lagos on energy basis. That is what Ibile Oil and Gas Company of Lagos is all about. We are interested in the future such that we can put Lagos in the position of having its own bloc. That is for the federal government to determine."

Harping on the achievements in the power sector, the commissioner said that apart from aggressive installation of streetlights in all the nook and crannies of the state, the ministry has embarked on rural electrification and installation of solar power systems for Schools and Public Health Centers (PHCs) which have, in turn, improved the night economy, security, and tourism development.

On procurement of electricity transformers, Oluwo said that the ministry installed 49 transformers at various communities in Lagos, adding that a total of 19 500KVA, 11KV/33KV transformers were procured and installed in Palmgroove, Gbagada and Alimosho Estates.
"The second phase of our community electrification intervention plan is the reconnection of 32 communities in the Apa, Owode, Seme Border area of Badagry which had been cut off from the national grid for the past 16 years," Oluwo said.

A preliminary autopsy report on late Ronke Shonde has said the victim was not killed by the marks of violence on her.



PUNCH Metro learnt that the result, which was still sketchy, showed that the cause of the death might be more complex than earlier thought.

Our correspondent had reported how Lekan, 51, allegedly beat his wife, Ronke, to death at their home in the Egbeda-Idimu area of the state last Thursday.

Lekan, a dock worker in the Apapa area, who spoke with our correspondent while in hiding, had denied complicity in the death, saying he only slapped her that night.

He instead accused Ronke of sleeping with one Kayode, the general manager of a publishing company where she worked as the human resources manager.

After three days in hiding, the suspect gave himself up to the poilce.

A source on Tuesday said the report was still being compiled, adding that only a phase had been completed.

He said, “As of now, the report showed that the marks of violence on the victim have nothing to do with her death. Other areas are still being explored. The actual thing that killed her has not been stated.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the police had yet to get the report.

She said, “I just spoke with the people in charge now and they said the result is not complete yet. I will advise we exercise patience and caution. The police are also monitoring the case and we intend to get the report soon. This will be disclosed to the public.”

Meanwhile, the management of Learn Africa, the publishing firm where Ronke and Kayode worked, said on Tuesday that the duo left the firm in March.

A statement from the company on Tuesday, said both Ronke and Kayode left the employ of the organisation on the 8th and 10th of March 2016, respectively.

The statement read in part, “Late Mrs. Ronke Shonde and Mr. Kayode Oluokun were former employees of Learn Africa Plc. However, as of the time of Mrs. Shonde’s death, they had ceased to be workers of Learn Africa Plc since the 8th and 10th of March 2016, respectively.

“During the period of their employment, the management is not in a position to confirm or deny the existence of a relationship between these former employees in any other capacity other than as colleagues.”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday begged lawyers to support the anti-corruption war of the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government.

Buhari said this at the Kaduna branch of the Nigerian Bar Association’s Law Week with the theme, “The fight against corruption: the role of the Bar and the Bench,” in Kaduna.

The President was represented on the occasion by his Senior Special Adviser on Legal Matters, Prof. Adamu Usman,

He reminded the lawyers how some of their colleagues almost frustrated a similar crusade he embarked upon as the military Head of State in 1984.

He noted that his second coming should receive the necessary support from lawyers to succeed so that the country would be rid of corruption.

In his keynote address, Usman told his colleagues that history would remain unkind to them if they failed to do everything possible to rid the nation of corruption, saying that “whenever history repeats itself, it carries vengeance and calamity in its fist and teeth.”

He also urged the lawyers to play their part in ensuring that corruption was kicked out of the country, “the way the military is pushing out Boko Haram insurgency and other security challenges out of the country.”

He said, “In Buhari’s first coming, the Bar in particular was not very helpful to his anti-corruption crusade. They boycotted the Special Military Tribunals for the Recovery of Public Property set up by his then government on the grounds that the tribunals were chaired by soldiers instead of judges, the lawyers’ preferred chairmen.

“Only Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memory and a few other senior lawyers broke the rank with their colleagues by supporting the tribunals and participating in their trials.

“Now the same Buhari is back again on the saddle locking horns once more with the hydra-headed monster called corruption.

“When in 1984 we refused to support his anti-corruption war, we saw what corruption eventually did to the country.

“It may even do worse now if by our lack of cooperation and support, the current anti-corruption war is once more lost.

“I strongly feel we should give the current anti-corruption fight a chance of success by supporting it. History should not repeat itself because from my knowledge of history repeating itself, whenever it repeats itself, it carries vengeance and calamity in its fist and teeth.”

Meanwhile, the National Vice-Chairman (South) of the APC, Hilliard Eta, has said the President Buhari-led administration is taking tough decisions required to lay a solid foundation for Nigeria’s future.

He said this in Abuja, on Monday.

According to him, the party has within the last one year put in place a new template for national growth.

The party chieftain appealed to Nigerians to show greater understanding because the change the party promised was not going to happen in a day.

Eta noted that within the last one year, the APC government had succeeded in taming the Boko Haram monster and improving the nation’s security.

He said, “We all know how much this government has achieved in curbing insurgency in the North-East and even the international community has accepted the fact that this government has done so much in the area of dealing with Boko Haram insurgency in the North-Eeast and in security of the nation in general.

“In the area of corruption, except one is blind, government has been sincere not just by mouthing the war against corruption, but actually doing what is actually necessary to curb corruption. First, by living by example because the saying goes that when a fish is getting bad, it starts from the head.

“So, living by example and making sure that whoever is caught to have dip his hands into the treasury are prosecuted. On the economy which is what everybody is complaining about today because of the hardship; we campaigned for change and not a miracle. For change to take place, there has to be a gestation period while miracle is instant because it is divine.

“I know that Nigerians are impatient. Even if you want to build a beautiful edifice, you must first lay the foundation. This government has laid the foundation for the take-off of the economic boom that we must necessarily bring to Nigerians because that is what we promised.”

He stressed that the people of the South-South were at the verge of experiencing unprecedented development the type that eluded the zone in the last 16 years the Peoples Democratic Party held sway.
