The prices of commodities like imported rice, maize , beans, palm oil, sorghum and others have continued to rise at the Mile 12 Market in Lagos. This is reflected in the commodity index update, prepared by Novus Agro Nigeria Ltd, an agro-based firm, and made available to newsmen on Friday in Lagos.

According to the index, a 50kg bag of imported rice currently selling at N16,857 was sold for N14,800 last week, thus recording a whopping N2,057 increase. Miss Avaado Gaadi, Enumeration specialist at the firm, told pressmen earlier that increase in the price of imported rice was as a result of restrictions on imported commodities.

Gaadi said that the restriction was to uphold the Federal Government’s drive to diversify the economy, through promoting consumption of locally-produced commodities.

Meanwhile, the paint bucket measurement of imported rice has also increased to N1,457 as against N1,333 sold last week. Also, a 100kg bag of beans, which has been on a continuous increase since June, now attracts N25,714, as against N24,000 it attracted last week; while the paint bucket measurement remained stable at N900.

However, the 100kg bags of maize, sorghum, onions and 25-litre container of palm oil were on the increase at the market. Maize attracted N12,829, as against N11,375 it was sold for last week, recording a difference of N1,454, while the paint bucket measurement increased slightly from N500 to N507.

Sorghum now selling for N11,571 was sold for N10,313 last week, thus attracting an increase of N1,258, while the paint bucket measurement increased from N500 to N507. Also, onions increased slightly to N16,143 from N16,125, recording N18 increment, while the 2kg measurement remained unchanged at N500.

A 25-litre keg of palm oil increased to N7,286 from N7,063 it sold for last week, while the bottle measurement also increased from N250 last week to N280 this week.

While soya beans remained unchanged at N17,000 per 100kg bag, the 60kg and 100kg bags of garri and groundnut dropped in price. Garri, which now goes for N12,614, was sold for N12,763 last week; while groundnut now sells for N25,000, as against the N25,500 it attracted last week. However, the paint bucket measurement of both commodities remained unchanged at N600 and N950 respectively.

Hundred of Social Democratic Party supporters from Ondo State and some youths of Ondo State extraction within the FCT accompanied Dr. Olu Agunloye to the National Secretariat of the Social Democratic Party this morning dancing and jubilating as if the election had been won.
Speaking after the formal presentation of the forms to him by the Deputy National Chairman of the Party, Dr Abdul Isiaq Ahmed, Agunloye said he was in the race to win and move Ondo State away from the suffocating clutches of POVERTY. He promised to governs with integrity and sincerety if elected.

Olu-Agunloye is a politica prostitute. From AD to LP to PDP now to SDP. You can never rule Ondo! Ondo is for APC

ABUJA SLAIN FEMALE PREACHER: THE TRUTH
Nigerian Media: Truth versus Reality
In the past few days, the hearts of genuine
citizens of our great nation have bled over
the news of the killing of a female Christian
preacher by alleged Muslim fanatics in
Kubwa area of the FCT, Abuja. I was actually
alerted by a friend's text message because
although I reside in the affected area, I was
far away in Ibadan, Oyo State, as at the time
of the incident. As an average concerned
Nigerian, I thought, when will this nation be
free from religious and ethnic crises? But as
a journalist and one with eyes for
investigation, I knew I had a duty at hand.
So, on my return to the city, I visited the
particular street, the particular spot,
conducted personal investigation and secret
interviews, and made several findings. I
became sad! Why? Most of the information
doled out by our media are NOT TRUE! For
the avoidance of doubt, there was no
evidence of anyone present when the
woman died. Witnesses only said they met
her dead. Secondly, I did not find anyone to
confirm that any part of the woman was
missing or mutilated. I talked with one who
saw the corpse early that morning, with
two policemen, before the news went viral.
Thirdly, there was no mosque in that street
or behind the spot. Fourthly, the vicinity had
been under the torment of cultism in the
past few months, in fact, two separate
persons were found killed and dumped in
the area recently, one of them on the street
adjacent this particular one. The police is
actually on the trail of s notorious cult who
is believed to have sneaked into and hiding
in the area. The police is insisting that they
met the corpse body intact. But, alas! What
my colleagues wrote were terrifying. In fact,
it revived hatred, instigated religious
intolerance and personal mistrust. I am sure
many of you journalists who wrote the
story were not in Abuja, you just received
the news from friends and forwarded to
your headquarters, which also did not verify
before going to press. I also know that
many of those in Abuja then did not visit the
place, nor conduct proper investigation. For
an issue as critical as religion and ethnicity,
most of you goofed! The media is an
indefatigable player in nation building, and
no society is firmly built on negligence and
mistrust as being displayed by our
journalists. But, the media houses too are at
fault. Most of them pay peanuts for staff
while the few at the top swim in affluence.
Where, then, is the resource and motivation
for the reporter to carry out investigative
reporting and due diligence. To survive,
many journalists are pipers in the hands of
politicians, religious leaders and
businessmen and even government, who
dictate their tune. Yet, the masses are at the
receiving end because they naturally hold
on to the news from the media. It is a hell a
times, to change the people's perception on
issues, over which our media had made
serious blunders. I had had to show identity
cards to some, before they agree to reason
along the right perspective. The corruption
on the media is much, but our colleagues
can just help hold on to the truth.
