Jman06: Another lie from an APC e-rat!

Frank Ribery

Last week, Mike Petrosino, a 21-year-old who was
recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, was given
a chance to say goodbye to his dog, Rusty, who
was brought to Massachusetts General Hospital for
a final visit.
Not surprisingly, the heartbreaking photo of the
moment — shared by Petrosino's family members —
has gone viral since a friend posted it to Reddit .
“My friend Mike was diagnosed with cancer in the
8th grade," the friend explained on Saturday . "He
was given a 3% chance to survive the first year.
Two days ago we found out that after 8 years, the
amputation of his leg, and four rounds of cancer that
there’s now nothing that they can do. This picture
was taken by his brother yesterday."
“Rusty was very emotional when Mike said his
finale goodbye,” John Petrosino, Mike's brother,
told The Blaze . “Every time I come home these past
two days, he sits near Mike’s favorite couch and
whines, which is rare from him.”
An online fund to help pay Petrosino's medical bills
has raised more than $7,600 .
"I just got back from Mass General and got to say
goodbye with a bunch of old friends,” the friend
added. “He’s the bravest guy I’ve ever met and all
he did the entire day was make sure everyone else
was okay.”

BENIN—NO fewer than 836 teachers have been
sacked by Edo State Government, sequel to the
outcome of the verification exercise carried out by
the state’s Department of Information and
Communication Technology.
Vanguard gathered that the affected teachers learnt
of their sack when they discovered that their names
were missing from the December salary voucher.
It was learnt that some of those sacked were
allegedly found to have either over-stayed, mentally
unstable, physically blind or have falsified their ages
and credentials.
A man who gave his name simply as Osahon, said
his wife was affected just as it was further gathered
that over 96 of those sacked were alleged to be
from a particular local government in Edo North.
Osahon, however, appealed to the state government
to reconsider its stand on the sacked teachers,
especially those who are still young in service.
His words: “I don’t have a steady job. My wife is
the one taking care of the home. She is not up to
three years in service and less than 35 years old.
The governor should give the young ones a second
chance. They should regularise their ages.”
Commissioner for Basic Education, Mr. Patrick
Aguinede, who confirmed the sack, said those
affected were certified by the ICT after the
screening
He said those who have over-stayed in service
gave a scenario that the state government could not
recruit new teachers.
According to him, “the teachers were found to have
served beyond 35 years. Some were physically
blind, some manipulated their results and age which
later showed they finished school before they were
born.”
State secretary of Nigeria Union of Teachers, Mr.
Akin Adeojo, said the union became aware of the
sack through rumours, but added that the affected
teachers had not been issued sack letters.
He said the NUT would scrutinise the letters before
taking a decision, adding that it would make a case
for anybody found to have been victimised.

To stem the tide of collapsed buildings in the state,
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has
revealed that 429 buildings were shut while eight
others were demolished across the state, western
Nigeria.
Fashola spoke at the 2,400 days celebration of his
administration in office, held in the three senatorial
districts of the state on Monday.
In Agege, the governor said the buildings were shut
for not meeting up with the physical planning laws
and standard. He disclosed that 838 buildings were
also pasted with stop work notice in the last 100
days.
According to Fashola, who was represented by the
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice,
Ade Ipaye, 110 cases were listed for prosecution by
the Lagos State Building Control Agency for various
offences, including building insurance/general
contractor’s all risk, out of which 49 of such cases
were decided while 45 cases were still pending.
“During the period under review, 622 applications
for building approvals were received. Out of these,
490 were approved for residential, 58 for
commercial, 7 for institutional, 18 for renovation and
46 for demolition permit.
“Five collapsed buildings were recorded as a result
of fire incidence while one collapsed as a result of
sub-standard materials used,” he disclosed.
He said the Ministry of Science and Technology
has, in the last 100 days, expanded the scope of the
state’s Control and Command Centre to
accommodate more calls from citizens in distress
or needing emergency attention from any part of the
state. The commissioner explained that the Control
and Command Centre was the place where the 211,
767 free toll calls were received and acted upon.
On those making frivolous calls, Fashola advised
such people to desist from the act, pointing out that
by making such calls, they delayed others who
needed to make emergency calls. “The lines are
made strictly for emergency purposes; when there
is fire, motor accidents or crime, that is the time to
call,” he added.
On the Lagos State Home Ownership Scheme
(Lagos HOMS), the governor disclosed that
allocation of houses to beneficiaries on mortgage
basis would begin in January, 2014.
The governor, who was represented by the
Commissioner for Housing, Mr. Bosun Jeje, at the
Teslim Balogun Stadium venue of the Lagos Central
Senatorial District session of the event, said over
5,000 houses were now ready for allocation under
the scheme, adding that there were many other
housing estates still under construction across the
state.
Fashola said he recently approved another housing
estate in Ilubirin that would contain 1,259 housing
units and another one at Ibeshe in Ikorodu Local
Government Area.
He noted that with the frequency by which the
estates came up, it would not be easy to put a
permanent figure on the number of houses that
would be ready before the take off of the scheme,
but added, “the houses are not limited but we have
them coming up every day.
“One of the campaign promises that we made at
that time was that we would address the problem of
housing in Lagos State. We knew it was a challenge
and we promised that we would address it and we
have started addressing it.”
Giving reasons for the delay in the kickoff of the
allocation, Fashola explained: “In actual fact, the
allocation was meant to start this December but we
are trying to have a sustainable programme, that is
why it has not started. We want to make sure that
everything that needs to be done must be done
before we start the allocations.”

eGuerrilla: So what happens to commissioners who are unaffiliated to either party?

IMHO i dont any political holder is not affliated to any party, a political officer will surely be affliated to parties. The question should have been their level of participation in the party?
@topic, the gov did the right thing cos u have to be in same party with d gov and achieve both the gov and party objective

Op since you know who killed Muritala then file your case at the court of law, filing your case on nairaland won't do you any good. Be a good Nigerian Citizen by filing the case at the law court. MUMU

The pilot of a Mozambican airliner that crashed in
Namibia last month deliberately brought the plane
down, aviation experts in Mozambique believe.
Mozambican Airlines flight TM470 left the capital
Maputo bound for Angola on 29 November, but
crashed, killing all 33 people all board.
The Civil Aviation Institute said the pilot made a
"deliberate series of manoeuvres" causing the
crash.
The pilot's motives are unknown, and the
investigation is continuing.
'Clear intention'
The plane went down in heavy rain in Namibia's
Bwabwata National Park.
There was a 'clear intention' to crash, investigators
say
But the head of the Civil Aviation Institute, Joao
Abreu, told a news conference that the pilot,
Hermino dos Santos Fernandes, had a "clear
intention" to crash.
Dos Santos Fernandes locked himself in the
cockpit, and did not allow his co-pilot back inside
until moments before the plane hit the ground, Mr
Abreu said.
"During these actions you can hear low and high-
intensity alarm signals and repeated beating against
the door with demands to come into the cockpit," he
was quoted as saying by state news agency AIM.
"The reasons which may have given rise to this
behaviour are unknown."
Investigations also showed that Dos Santos
Fernandes manually changed the aircraft's altitude
three times from 11,500 metres (38,000 feet) to 180
metres (592 feet) - below ground level.
He also manually altered the aircraft's speed.
Earlier this week, Namibian investigators said they
had detected "no mechanical malfunction" that
could have led to the crash, and the plane was one
of the newest in the airline's fleet.
The 33 people who died included passengers from
Mozambique, Angola, Portugal, Brazil, France and
China.
Mozambican Airlines is currently banned from
airspace in the European Union, along with all other
carriers certified in Mozambique, because of safety
concerns.

I promise to edit my komment when this hit the frontpage.

Aigipan: And this is what you call Supreme Hedging .. Eat from the ruling and opposition party hmmm

kudos to them, as d wife is collecting from GEJ likewise the husband is collecting from Buhari/Tinubu, if possible the children may be in different party.

johndarey: hi guyz...pls a friend of mine needs to take his m3 to calcare but he does not have the receipt of purchase...he doesn't even have anything apart from the phone and the charger...pls will they attend to him? and please do whatsapp+ and bbm+ work perfectly on unrooted phones?

hello bro, did ur friend pay @ calcare ?

Shine It: He's gradually destroying what he spent years building. Very soon only APC supporters would be using nairaland forum.

my bro if u are not satisfy with d way seun put topics on d frontpage you can as wel create your own forum/blog and filled d entire frontage with anti-APC to ur satisfaction. Did the other thread of GEJ not contesting in 2015 hit the frontpage immediately after it was created ? I guess NO. With d little time i have spent on NL i have cme to realise dat its only genuine breaking news that hit the frontage with d speed of light not yeye topics like ds of anti-gej/anti-buhari/anti-tinubu . So bro i hope u get my point. My bro u can also read ds Seun comment to satisfy, but if u are not still satisfy , then i guess their is serious problem

Seun: I get more traffic by catering to supporters of all parties instead of catering only to supporters of one party. Besides, I voted for GEJ in the last election and though I want him to step down for someone less corrupt, I will still vote for GEJ over and over again if GMB is the alternative.
