The Lagos State government, through its Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, has announced the lifting of ban on the construction of new fuel stations anywhere in the state.

The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Prince Rotimi Ogunleye, said at a briefing yesterday that the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, had approved the lifting of the embargo on the grant of planning permit for the construction of petrol filling stations.

The state government had placed the ban on April 26, 2017, which subsequently necessitated all other relevant ministries, departments and agencies of government to place embargo on the approval of gas plants due to reoccurring fire outbreaks as a result of non-compliance with standard safety measures.

Ogunleye disclosed that the governor has also approved the implementation of a reviewed guideline detailing the requirements to be met by operators seeking planning permits for petrol stations and gas plants in the state.

“By this approval, the state government seeks to ensure safe and orderly citing, operation and management of filling stations and gas plants for the overall safety of Lagosians. The embargo had been done to check the proliferation of petrol stations and gas plants and its consequences on safety of lives and property,” the Commissioner said.

He said the state government was also concerned about improving the aesthetic value and efficiency of operation in the planning, building control and urban regeneration of the state.

“With the reviewed guidelines, investors intending to embark on developments of this nature and existing operators are directed to strictly comply with the provisions of the reviewed templates.

“Investors are enjoined to apply for planning information from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development before embarking on any development in order to have first-hand information about the kind of development that can be done in a specific area of the state,” he said.

Prince Philip spotted driving without a seatbelt 48 hours after car crash
By Bianca Britton, CNN

Updated at 1222 GMT (2022 HKT) January 20, 2019


London (CNN) — Britain's Prince Philip has been spotted driving without a seat belt just 48 hours after his car crash in which the 97-year-old's Land Rover flipped onto its side.

The Duke of Edinburgh was photographed driving a new Land Rover without the seat belt, which is required on a public road.

A Norfolk Constabulary spokeswoman said police were aware of the photos and that "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver."

She added: "This is in line with our standard response when being made aware of, or receiving such images showing this type of offense."


The husband of the Queen emerged uninjured after the crash on Thursday, according to a statement from local police.

Philip collided with another vehicle carrying two women, aged 28 and 45, as well as a nine-month-old baby boy.

Police said the 28-year-old suffered cuts to her knee while the 45-year-old was left with a broken wrist. The baby boy was unharmed.

Buckingham Palace said "well-wishes" were exchanged Friday with those injured in the other car. However Britain's Mail on Sunday reported that the mother who broke her wrist has yet to receive an apology from Philip.

"I got a call from a police family liaison officer," Emma Fiarweather told the paper. "The message he passed on didn't even make sense. He said 'The Queen and Prince Philip would like to be remembered to you'."

Too old to drive?

The crash dominated tabloid coverage in the UK, with both the Daily Mail and the Sun leading their websites with it. The Daily Telegraph, a conservative broadsheet, also played the crash up high, with a headline emphasizing Philip's "miracle escape."

However, the incident has raised questions over whether the Prince -- five months from his 98th birthday -- should still be allowed to drive.

The United Kingdom requires drivers over 70 years old to renew their license every three years. A royal source said Thursday the prince has a license and follows all procedures required to keep it up to date. The source asked not to be named discussing the prince's personal life.

A source told Press Association that Philip passed a police eyesight test on Saturday following the crash.
Buckingham Palace has not yet responded to the latest photographs.

The Duke retired from public life in 2017 after 65 years of service. During that time he conducted more than 22,000 solo engagements and delivered nearly 5,500 speeches.

Since taking a step back, Philip has been seen in public at a handful of events with the Queen and other members of the royal family, including last year's weddings of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

"I presume Atiku may have traveled to the US under the umbrella of the diplomatic immunity of Saraki's official delegation.

It is possible that the trip was listed as an official trip of the Senate President of Nigeria, and the delegates to accompany him included Atiku.

Otherwise, why would the Nigerian senate president be there on a trip with Atiku. This trip was taken solely for the purpose of removing the cloud of imminent arrest and prosecution from Atiku if he traveled to the US.

Anyone that knows the working of diplomacy will realize that the US will not selectively arrest Atiku or any other member of the Saraki's delegation on this trip for as long as the tag of legislative delegation from Nigeria covers him.

This gimmick will only work on the gullible and uninformed. What we are asking from Atiku is to travel to the US as a private citizen.

He needs to take this trip on his own without any government of Nigeria official who is covered by diplomatic immunity."

You're not far from the truth.
The allegations against Atiku is too weighty and don't see him getting away easily.

It was President Bush that barred him in 2004 from entering the USA. From 2004 to 2008, he couldn't enter.

Under President Obama, from 2009 to 2017, he couldn't enter. Under Trump, he sneaked in and would sneak out tomorrow. Atiku's a stain on Nigeria.

See the case established against him and his 4th wife. Atiku is a wicked looter

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has for a long time been challenging Nigerians who accused him of being corrupt to come forward and prove it. So far nobody has come forward.

Well, has received a report on how Atiku was the subject of a probe ten years ago, by a United States Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Senator Carl Levin.

The report detailed how Atiku Abubakar while still the vice president of Nigeria between 2000 and 2008, used offshore companies to siphon millions of dollars to his fourth wife in the United States, Jennifer Douglas.

Specifically, the report said Jennifer Douglas, an American citizen, helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States through wire transfers sent by offshore corporations to U.S. bank accounts.

Buhari is almost a vegetable already and Atiku is not clean.

Osinbajo is the best candidate for this job

See as this guy is making mouth

Funny you. You need education. You have no information. Go and learn the procedures for pardoning a convict. There is no secrecy about it. The President cannot and can never absolve an indicted fellow. An indicted fellow must face trial, on the basis of the evidence. I will give you a word of advice before i sign out from your case. What you dont know, seek to learn. Desist from being a sophomoric, who deludes himself in self conceived illusions. Back when i was in Med school, one of our Profs will always say: What puts you in trouble are not the things you dont know, but the things you dont know, you think you know.

Some of these people don't reason well at all. Anyway if they can be following a fraudster like KANU, what else do we expect?

If you're indicted in any investigation, you must face the panel and investigation. It is the investigation that would determine if you're guilty or not. If you're guilty, you'll be convicted, then the President can thereafter pardon you if he so wishes. However, you must be investigated first, subject to trial and then you know your fate.

Trump can't grant a Pardon legally or in line with due process, until he has been found guilty.

He was mentioned in a criminal matter and he's yet to clear his name. Granting him visa is like sweeping the case under the carpet. Atiku still needs to face the panel that convicted Jefferson. Granting him the visa is another waiver from a criminal administration

See the story below

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has for a long time been challenging Nigerians who accused him of being corrupt to come forward and prove it. So far nobody has come forward.

Well, has received a report on how Atiku was the subject of a probe ten years ago, by a United States Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Senator Carl Levin.

Specifically, the report said Jennifer Douglas, an American citizen, helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States through wire transfers sent by offshore corporations to U.S. bank accounts.

There is a report that still subsist till date that Atiku siphoned millions of dollars from Nigeria. The report was made in Nigeria, neither was presented by OBJ or Nuhu Ribadu. It was the US themselves that found Atiku guilty of a crime

It was Bush that placed a Ban on Atiku in 2004

In 2004, the then President Bush barred Atiku and other corrupt politically exposed persons from being issued visa to the United States.

The report was so thoroughly done that its yet to be set aside till date

During the course of its investigation, the Subcommittee staff conducted over 100 interviews, including interviews of lawyers, real estate agents, escrow agents, lobbyists, bankers, university professionals, and government officials. The Subcommittee issued over 50 subpoenas and reviewed millions of pages of documents, including bank records, correspondence, contracts, emails, property records, flight records, news articles, and court pleadings. In addition, the Subcommittee consulted with foreign officials, international organizations, financial regulators, and experts in anti-money laundering and anti-corruption efforts

The above shows that we're attempting to put a criminal back to power and Nigeria would be doomed forever.
President Obama never saw a reason to lift the ban on Atiku for 8 years, but another dubious man listed it. It is only a president that can overrule another president, hence Trump is part of the deal that allowed Atiku enter the US

Sirjamo:
Leave long grammar, was Atiku indicted by American Congress or not?

If he has cleared himself, let us know instead of making a fool of yourself by offering me scholarship.

You are minding them. This President is America is the worst according to Americans themselves not me.

A president that lies and filed for bankruptcy in order not to pay tax is corrupt.

His election was a fraud and soon Mueller would do the needful

https://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-pdp-hires-trumps-lobbyist-for-90k-per-month

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hired the firm of Brian Ballard, a top US lobbyist, ahead of the 2019 elections.

The influential lobbyist has President Donald Trump as one of his clients. Politico Magazine, a top publication in the US, says Ballard is closer to the US president than perhaps any other lobbyist in town.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8531714_trumpinternationalhoteljoelpollakbreitbartnews300x225_jpeg22ba000d882554b07fa72d2788c5f5c2

In Trump's America, anything is possible. Russian collusion, longest shutdown in the history of the country, corrupt and lying aides. Hence, if they can do that in their own country, they can overlook a crime another national allegedly committed and grant access.

No surprises at all.

It's is a known fact all around the world that serving leaders in many countries enjoy highest form of respect from their foreign counterparts, whenever they go either on working or personal visit.

It is also a fact that they've diplomatic cover, which would shield them from arrest, expect if there's a strong international Court ruling sanctioning their arrest.

From 1960, to 2019 we've had leaders, some of who are still alive despite leaving office.

Gowon is alive and there's no traveling ban against him
Obasanjo is free to travel to the US
Buhari before he became president was never banned from visiting US.
Shehu Shagari was not banned from US
Alex Ekweme(A vice president like Atiku) was not prohibited from entering the US until his death
IBB can visit the US
GEJ can enter the US
Nemadi Sambo (A vice president like Atiku) was not prohibited from entering the US.

But for 12 years plus a certain Atiku was prevented from entering the US. It's not because they don't love Nigerian past leaders(after all, the aforementioned are free to enter the US anytime) rather it's because of a stain on certain past leader who's yet to be cleared up till today.

Here are few questions we need to ask

1. If Atiku hasn't committed any crime, why did he take him so long to travel?
2. Why did Atiku have to wait till he became the presidential flag bearer of PDP and use it as a campaign to fool gullible followers?
3. The ban was in place under President Bush and throughout the rein of Barrack Obama, he couldn't make it to the US, why wait until Trump got into power?
4. We were told that one of the people close to Trump was hired to help Atiku get a waiver into US, isn't it obvious that it's a case of a crook on one country allowing another crook access?

5. It's a fact that Donald Trump is dubious, the Russian collusion says it all. The president lied that there's no collusion with Russia against him or his campaign. Just yesterday, his lawyer admitted that there's collusion but it was the campaign team and Trump was not involved. Isn't it clear that US has a 'con man's as a leader?

6. Why was his visit shrouded in secrecy? Atiku remains a diplomat being a former number 2 man and he still enjoys pension, cars, houses and protection from the Government every day until his death, why will such a precious man to Nigeria travel without contacting the Embassy of his country where he's visiting? After all, no one can be arrested within the embassy of another country, no matter the offense.

It's obvious from the foregoing that

1. Atiku indeed has a case or cases to answer in the US
2. A controversial president who's assumed by Americans to be fraud gave his consent before another crook was allowed in.

Yes, Atiku is indeed in the US, but not in a clean way

Another heartbreak for the entire Biafran race.

A certain partisan Journalist posted trash on Facebook yesterday criticizing buhari's performance at the Town Hall meeting. She's a pro Atiku. I told her that PMB has a cult like followers, that would vote for him over and over again. She refused to believe. In one month's time we would know

There was a mild drama yesterday at the ongoing Abia Election Debate kicked off in Vision Africa Radio, Umuahia.

The debate which was organised by the Abia Based Media Houses in Collaboration with Abia State Chapter of OMPAN, saw the moment Dr. Chima Anyaso, a PDP candidate for Bende Federal House of Representatives shamefully abscond from studio while debate was ongoing.

The incident happened when Barr. Benjamin Kalu, an APC candidate for Bende Federal House of Representatives raised a questionable points, the latter, couldn't bear it and he resorted to foul language.

Running away from studio.. one can see/hear him angrily used an (inappropriate) language saying "screw yourself" displaying a middle finger.

Watch the video below:

Bloggers get lives for this year, by learning how to write coherently.
'raised a questionable points' are you for real?

You can't raise 'a points" but you can raise a point. A point can be raised and not a points. You can raise some points.

Also, you need to understand the meaning of the word 'questionable' some people who raises questionable points are never taken seriously. Example FFK.

If you see me in physical, it would be nice to have you repeat these words.

Not until, you're seen physically. Portray yourself orderly no matter where you are. Thousands of people who post on Nairaland are actually doing very very well in real life, but there's no competition on a faceless forum to warrant a boast about status

Leave Abu Stainless out of this..nigga is blind and trying to remain alive

chucsmoore:
Abu stainless was d number 1 of Lagos island 10yrs ago. Kunle Poly relegated him longtime ago. I think 2007 or 2008. Gbolohan Kunle polys cousin shot Abu stainless in the eyes and blinded him. Gbolohan was later killed by stainless boys.

Heard Tinubu tried for Abu back then.

He spent a lot on him, flew him abroad for attention, but all to no avail.

Touting is bad

What about Abu stainless?

Its means you can look pretty, without dressing awkwardly like most fake celebrities do.

Eledan:
What is this nonsense on her eyes?

Fake!!

Kanu too is fake

VP looks at his countenance

He took Penalty to throw in
