idupaul: My friend was discombobulated. During an interview with Nigeria's embattled aviation minister, Ms. Stella Oduah, a journalist asked if she was concerned that critics were raising issues about the remodelling of airports she was doing.

Oduah flared up: "Who the Bleep are they? Who the Bleep!" By the time Joe Obi, the minister's aide began pleading with journalists not use the word "Bleep" in their reports, the damage had been done. When Oduah later said that an accident is "an act of God", my friend was not surprised. He had known the woman for long.

Now, she says: "You know they hate me because I'm an Igbo woman!" So we dare say: "What the Bleep has tribe got to do with theft, corruption and mismanagement? What the Bleep has being an Igbo woman got to do with inflated cars that are nowhere to be found?

Veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, last Friday morning, October 11th, 2013, confirmed to Nollywood Insider that he was actually assaulted and injured in the fracas involving members of the Video Rental Operators of Nigeria (VROAN) and some Yoruba movie makers and marketers. The ace thespian said, “I was injured in the debacle but I would not like to comment further on it on the telephone.”
Continue After The Break.................

[b]Meanwhile the President of VROAN, Kassim Olatunbosun aka Boe, has been declared wanted by his members and the police. He is accused of wanton embezzlement of public funds at his disposal. Kassim is said to have mismanaged the royalties for marketers and film producers that his members paid into the coffers of VROAN over the last two years. They also claimed that he refused to call for elections after staying in office for more than 10 years.According to information made known to NOLLYWOOD INSIDER, after a long meeting at the Cultural Center, Alausa, Ikeja, on Thursday October 10th, 2013, by his members and other concerned stakeholders, the enraged crowd besieged his Onipanu office calling on him to render account of his stewardship as VROAN's henchman. However, on sighting the crowd while he was having his weekly meeting with executives of the association, Kassim managed to scale over a high fence into oblivion. This was after Jide Kosoko and a few others had sustained injuries during a fight to apprehend Kassim.[/b]

Jide Kosoko spoke further on the incident, “Actually, I am a member of the Board of Trustees of VROAN, and we had been getting several reports that the president of the association, Kassim aka Boe, has been in the office for close to 10 years. We have received several complaints that his tenure has since lapsed, and that there should have been an election, but he insisted on staying. This is coupled with other atrocities of his, so the BOT had to invite him, but he refused to come to any of the meetings on several occasions. He goes about with thugs with dangerous weapons, most of whom are not owners of video clubs.

''When his members wanted to make trouble with him, we said no that they should leave the matter to us, the BOT. I advised him personally, but he refused to yield to advice. He then wrote a letter saying he will hold elections in December which angered his members. The BOT then took some policemen to his office, only for us to get there and find thugs all over the place. They thereafter got violent with us, and one of them threw a bottle of water at me; using charms to threaten us.”

Meanwhile, JideKosoko disclosed that the matter is now with the Nigerian Police Zone 2, Lagos.

Hopes for improved power supply in the country have been rekindled as Olorunsogo is set to generate 250mw of electricity to the national grid.

The first phase of the Olorunsogo Power plant, which was among the three gas-fired plants built by the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo was to generate 304MW of electricity. But the plant has been out of operation since 2007, due to lack of gas supply.

However, THISDAY learnt last weekend that the faulty units in the plants have been rehabilitated, while plans are being put in place for the supply of gas to the power station.
It was learnt that work is in progress for the completion of the phase two of the thermal station, which is expected to add 750mw to the national grid.

The Obasanjo administration had planned to complete the phase two of the power station at a cost of $449 million, as government was poised to raise power generation to 10, 000mw by the end of 2007.
However, due to gas constraints, most of the power stations operated far below their installed capacities, while others were completely shut.

Information obtained by THISDAY showed that the 414 capacity Geregu Power station, could only generate about 100mw due to gas shortage. The plant, according to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) sources, requires 92mmscf/d.
Similarly, Omotosho power plant, with capacity to generate 304mw, could generate only 39mw but requires 75mmscf/d.
The three power plants - Geregu, Omotosho and Olorunsogo, were built in the twilight of the Obasanjo administration.
Rekindling hopes of improved power supply from the thermal stations, Managing Director of National Integrated Power Project (NIPP), Mr. James Olotu, disclosed that at least two units of the Olorunsogo plant, are expected to add about 250 mw, while another 500mw will come from the Alaoji and Sapele power stations respectively.

‘We are expecting that by the end of this year, Olorunsogo (Papalanto) will give us at least two units before December, which will give us about 250 mw, Alaoji Power plant is expected to give us at least one or two units, which will be another 250mw, two units from Sapele, which will give us another 250mw and the sum of these is about 750mw to be added to the national grid,” he had said.
The Executive Director, Operations, PHCN, Mr. John Ayodele, revealed recently that in addition to the 230 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) received, additional 600mmscf of gas daily is needed to power the gas turbine stations.

shymexx: Do you know why some of the greatest people to ever walk this planet were weed smokers? You definitely can think that deep without the spiritual feeling that weed gives you. It makes your mind travel farther than the normal humanoid - and that's the honest truth. And it's medicinal as well.

Without weed, I doubt Fela, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Tupac etc. would have been able to make the type of timeless music that they made, to be honest.

aliumik: Thank God dis happened in abuja,if it is in d east they will twist d case against the innocent man,that is why they don't want to b posted.away to d north

Annie2gud: Haaa ayayayaya the likes are coming o.haaaaaaa pastor the likes are coming.....hey sweet nairalanders keep the likes coming...haaaaa ,o gbe o.embarass me with ur 'likes.abu mickey oya bring Baggo super sack and help me carry my LIKES. ' ****quietly pays my offering and exit thread***

Btw, @bolded...I never knew oooo. So na Igbo people dey do okada in Lagos? ....that's a new one.

"There was no attack," EFF president Juinedin Basha told BBC Sport.
"There was no one injured - either players or
individuals from the Nigerian team on Sunday.
This is what we found out from our investigation.
"We have checked everything. We've got nothing
that shows that a player or any other individual
was injured by fans.

ayobase: On that single building opposite Sky Memorial Plaza, we have close to 5-6 churches!

Can u imagine what is gonna be like on Sunday.

It is so unnecessary and unethical as far as I'm concerned. Its so ungodly. God is not an author of confusion na!

Before u bite and rain curses and abuses, I am a christian. I don't call spade a shade!

Real RELIGIOUS HOUSE OF COMMOTION!

bluerange: it is not a lagos nor a south-west issue only, am frm the south-east & they operate well there. lt is national even the minister of state for either labour or trade who is from Benue is a former agbero, was shown on zaki's heroes of our times on AIT.

ol2012: Dear All, I while I appreciate all comments so far, I do not want us to turn this into another tribal/political e-ground(as some comments are already trying to) The import of this thread essentially, is to come up with ideas on how to stop this menace. I strongly believe there should be a way to achieve this.

speedyboi: Ehnn....I remember a thread that made frontpage I think last year...condemning okada...saying things like: they cause accidents on the roads blah blah.....
Na this same Nairaland we dey when fashola banned okada and nairalanders started shouting 'Heartless Governor', 'elitist Governor' blah bląh blah.


Na this same Nairaland we dey again oooo........una don dey condemn Agberos.
If and If Fashola drives out Agbero in the future and I see any thread condemning the move on frontpage. Well I won't be surprised! Nigerians/Nairalanders are; hypocrites, sadists AND confused lots who don't know what they want, what is right or what they actually want from their Government. smh.

Boss13: When Fashola declared that he would transform Lagos to a mega city, I could not hide my joy because my belief was that these area boys will be chased off the street. However, this is not the case. The number of area boys has increased exponentially, the menace they create on a daily basis is absurd and the ever working barking governor has turned blind and deaf towards eradicating these nuisance off our streets.

Now I begin to wonder, what kind of mega city is the governor trying to create - one with potential criminals on the roads?
What are the economic and social benefits in having miscreants on our roads?

Why is Fashola not doing anything about it and does he intend to blame the FG for area boys?

These boys have no business with our roads. If their aim is to collect levies, there are a thousand and one ways to get these levies.
