If you grew up in the 70s, 80s and the early 90s, you surely have a story to tell about your mum having this footwear. Our mothers didn't joke with it as it was a 'must have' for 70s and 80s Nigerian mums. Fondest memories.

Abeg share your stories joor!!!

Yes o plus the wooden scholls.

tunjijones:
What a shame.

They received almost 384 million naira each for 1 year for being redundant.

That is about 9.2 billion naira in total for the one year.

I swear, Nigeria is a joke.

And the redundant and useless senators cut across all the major political parties. LP, APC and PDP.

It's unfortunate that we the people are yet to understand the power that we have. They deserve to be recalled for having nothing to contribute towards the well being of their constituents.

Na bill we go chop??

Nigerians are currently facing unresolved economic woes caused by bad government and bad policies.

Had it being Bukola Saraki was the Senate president for Buhari 8 year of misrule our economy wouldn't have been in this mess .

Why can't the senators turn around and support people oriented policies rather than being a puppet to the executive arm.

If it is true that Saraki has been linked to two failed banks (Société Generale and Heritage), he couldn't have done better. What special growth did Kwara have under his governance?

Hmmm! Not every death that appears like a suicide is one. Unfortunately, Arabs don't care about blacks so nothing will happen. Great pity!

What stops her from being in a position to give 20m?

A real woman strives to excel and to be capable of looking after herself without a dependant attitude. It's okay and godly for a man to look after his wife but this new day entitlement mentality is irritating.

Great man! Congratulations and happy retirement to him. May he live long in good health.

Very embarrassing!

Lagos and Edo are paying 70k already. If the others choose to improve on their IGR instead of waiting for FAAC "oyel" money, do away with wasteful spending, and they embezzle less, there'll be funds to pay something reasonable.

@delpee,

Indeed, Lekki Phase 2 wasn't part of the defunct Maroko... I've just corrected the typographic error that arose due to the sensitive autocorrect feature of my Internet-enabled device. You do have a succinct sense of history as confirmed by our last convo on NL about Mrs. Folorunso Alakija's Supreme Stitches and the other Nigerian elite fashion brands in Lagos from the 1980s.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Enjoy your weekend... Ciao.

Stay blessed.

Too shocked for words....
Please be careful.

Potential Impact on Beef Prices
Implementing large-scale ranching could significantly increase the cost of beef due to the high expenses associated with establishing and maintaining ranches.These would make Nigerian cows too expensive for purchase as cows from Niger and other neighboring countries practicing open grazing will be cheaper in the open market.

Suggested Practical Solutions
Designated Grazing Areas: Allocate specific areas for grazing to prevent clashes while allowing pastoralists to continue traditional herding methods.
Conflict Resolution Mechanisms: Establish local committees to mediate disputes between farmers and herders, promoting peaceful coexistence.
Cooperative Farming: Encourage farmers and herders to form cooperatives, sharing resources and knowledge to improve productivity and harmony.
Community-Based Animal Health Services: Provide mobile veterinary services to support herders, reducing the need for long migrations and potential conflicts.
These solutions aim to be cost-effective and fair to both cattle herders and farmers, ensuring sustainable practices and reducing conflicts.

Former Governor Ganduje once said there's enough forest space for cows in Kano. He was willing to provide water sources, accommodation, schools, hospitals and veterinary services for the herders. They were not willing to accept that option which shows that they probably have a different mission.

We all know that ranches or free grazing cows within a limited area is more nutritious and yields more beef and more milk.

Where there's regular electricity, development follows.
Kudos to Abia State.

I pray the others are also caught and they all get the maximum sentence. Heartless people!

This man should allow his son to be buried and rest.

chikason22:
Are you sure those terrorists bandits have not kidnapped and raped her. Those infidels and rape can't be separated.
🤔🤔🤔
Thank God she's alive. Her head would have been mined if it was that side of the south.
😏😏😏

Like it happened to two ladies on the other side of the Niger recently abi? Or the half eaten corpses found in the bush where cultists are.

Stop bringing tribal reasoning into issues. There are good and bad people everywhere.

Very sad indeed! Seems organ harvesting is now the so called yahoo plus. Its becoming rampant across the country.

Ladies should stop basing their relationship interests mainly on money. It's the easiest way to trap anyone who is naive or gullible. Feminism of the 70s to 80s was to create awareness for women empowerment and independence. This new day entitlement mentality and wokeism amazes me.

Posting this to remind us or for "likes" is unfair to the lady. She moved on nicely after counselling and has done better for herself. Why take us back to a video done at a time she was young, naive and foolishly did the wrong thing? Many of those laughing at her have done worse. Asiri lo bo.

Congratulations to her.

Shouldn't the owners of the bank be punished for this? They're making people poorer and creating room for loss of confidence in the banking sector.

@OP
Is your wife unemployed in any way? I don't understand how someone who has a job or business will go and sit in the village endlessly because her dad died. A reasonable woman knows what her husband can afford so she should be the one to intercede on your behalf. Are your children of school age? If so, it means they've been out of school. That's enough reason for her to desist from being obstinate and to persuade her people.
She may have a change of mind if you decide to ignore her for a while. Culture will not make you steal to provide what you don't have.

FG has tried over time to get the LGs to be functional. The Governors and their puppet LG Chairmen and HOAs consistently make it impossible. Maybe NLC/TUC should focus more on that and carry people along.

It's time to make meaningful impact on the lives of the people. It's not just in terms of salaries which is beneficial to a small percentage of the populace. Where basic amenities are available to people at a reasonable cost within their environment, it reduces their burden. Water, health facilities, schools and good roads especially. Security is also better handled at that level.

This man is a killer....... He killed more than ten people in the previous election........

Wow! For real?

seunayantokun:
They are not the only ones that will need a referendum. So, tell him to cool down first. It will be regionalism first then peoples who are not okay with where they find themselves in the six regions coming will be sorted out with referendums. Tell the guy crying that the south west achieved greatness without Lagos in the past to the extent that we were financing FG. Tell him, Lagos Stste today is not the the Lagos crown colony of the past he is crying about. Today, we hall evidence to say some of the FG facilities and infrastructure every Nigerian is enjoying now were fradulently acquired from the old Western Region. We will be great again.

I read somewhere that Abuja house in UK was actually the property of the old Western Region.

It's okay. The man's proposal already indicates that every area has a right to choose where they want to belong. No big deal. Some Yoruba Kwarans and Kogites may choose to go with North Central for instance.

I hope that Lagosians remember that the SW some of them vilify so much covered up to Fadeyi on Ikorodu Road. The Industrial and residential estates...Ikeja, Apapa, Ilupeju et al were mainly built with Cocoa funds not money from Lagos Colony which was under the colonialists.

Also, the SW is rich in mineral resources which if well harnessed (but for federal might and visionless leaders) will make a huge impact on the lives of the people. Agriculture made the zone rich before. It can be done again. Lagos colony is free to stand alone.

Mrfeel:
Why didn't they shoot those Yoruba agitators at sight for trying to hijack the government house? I remember people were killed for carrying biafran flags back then in 2010 when ipobs were very peaceful protesting with only flags

Some of them were shot at by the security team since they were armed.

I feel so sorry for those soldiers especially the one from Abia who inwardly may have felt safer in his state having served in Borno. May his soul rest in peace.

Electorate:
While watching the below video of inside the Lagos ferry, I can't see any space for toilet...what if passengers are pressed on a trip?

Good idea. Probably they're thinking of short distances. BRT and other road transport have none too.
Maybe that will be considered in future designs.

Botragelad:
Hopefully they are able to apprehend Deborah's killer someday!

Amen. My thoughts too.

A day to honor heroes shouldn't bring about the death of others. So unnecessary and unfair.
May their families be comforted as their souls rest in peace.

GeneralPula:
Oga, Ajimobi tried o. Oyo people can testify. It was why they voted for him 2wice, making him the first governor to rule Oyo 2wice..

Just that he has a big mouth and doesn’t take chill when talking. That Makinde is doing what you like doesn’t mean you should downgrade Ajimobi..

You're right on Ajimobi. Kudos to Makinde for not abandoning his uncompleted projects. That was a good starting point for him and he's been able to do so much more. This road among others and the Fashola farm centre project in that area will go a long way to support and improve productivity plus the wellbeing of rural farmers.

Unlike the mistake Ambode made in Lagos...departing from the masterplan.

@Opamoses1,

Lekki is a different location from Lagos Island, Ikoyi Island or Victoria Island (Iruland). Lekki is a Peninsula and this is why Lekki Peninsula is used to describe that whole landmass.

For those who don't know, the entire Lekki Peninsula got it's name from Lekki Town (which is an indigenous Ijebu town in Lagos State) in Ibeju-Lekki LGA of Lagos State. Lekki Phase 1 is NOT the real Lekki Town. Ibeju-Lekki LGA, Epe LGA and Ikorodu LGA are the 3 Ijebu-owned LGAs in Lagos State sharing borders with the indigenous Ijebus of Ogun State right across the Lagos-Ogun States boundaries.

Therefore, Victoria Island Extension, Lekki Phase 1 and Lekki Phase 2 of today used to be part of the Maroko slum until the Lagos State Administrator Brigadier-General Raji Rasaki ruthlessly demolished the residential slum overnight in 1990 for reclamation and further gentrification. Then plots were resold. As of the time the then Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos came onboard in 1999, Lekki Phases 1 and 2 did NOT even exist as built up areas!

So, a Peninsula is any landmass that is almost surrounded by water, hence Lekki Peninsula, Bakassi Peninsula, etc.

An Island is any landmass that is completely surrounded by water, hence, we have Lagos Island, (Iru Island or Victoria Island, Ikoyi Island, etc.


Hope that helps.

Only Lekki Phase 1, Oniru side was part of Makoko. Admiralty side is a sand filled area.
Lekki Phase 2 is opposite AJah.

Eagleways:
the moment it happens, Lagos State government washes it hands off giving the approval .

My observation

They can't wash off their hands if they gave approval. The owner has the evidence.
