ire aakari water gave me typhoid when I attend Apata...plus nothing hilly about that area..Lagos is mostly a plain marsh , swampy land .

Apata memorial is not on a low land na. Bros talk true. Approaching from Okota roundabout entails driving a little uphill. If you approach through Chemist, na the same. If you approach through Ilasamaja na the same. However, Okota has issues because it is on the low land.

Lanruze:
I totally blame President Tinubu for Famzing Reno Omokori and even giving him audience last year.

Although the Natasha case has recorded evidences, Reno ha done far more damage to PBATs Administration than any other person alive.

He (Reno) has created far more ethnic divisionist and tribal coloured dents on PBAT regime than any other person alive.

Reno is a known certified bi-polar, mentally challenged personality that switches mood based on his pay grade and pay master.

Kindly tell Reno that Natasha is not his problem but his "Special needs" child he abandoned for his stupid "Lukumi" & "fact-check me" trade on x.

His tounge tied mouth deserves a good slap reset.

The fugitive called Reno intentionally married an East African because he will bring shame to any family he married from Nigeria with the constant curses and death threat he receives online.

Reno is a certified Urohbo small goat.

Na Itsekiri man o. No be a Urhobo man.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Reno failed to unify his family.

A man who could not hold his family together still dey get mouth to accuse other people.

No be shameless person be that?

Antichristian2:
They lack water and also errosion affects them a lot!

Then you do not know Enugu. Relying on social media does not help. Visit the state and see things for yourself. It is a tourism state.

Every state has water problems. Lagos state has its own, just like Ogun, Ekiti, Jigawa, etc. Sanwo Olu is addressing the Lagos situation, just as other governors try to address theirs.

Lagos sits on the bank of the Atlantic Ocean, yet we see citizens carrying containers from street to street, in search of water. It is a common problem in the entire nation and will take the intervention of governments at all levels to fix. Nigerians deserve to live well.

Erosion is a common problem also in some SW and SS states. Ogun state for example has been dealing with that for some time. The reason Lagos placed a ban ion unlicensed dredging is to arrest erosion in some areas too.

Antichristian2:


Èkó òní bajẹ!

The last time I visited Enugu I noticed water shortage everywhere around that trade fair side then!

Hopefully Enugu and others will follow suit!

The centre of excellence!

Enugu means city on the hill. Enugu always had pipe borne water in some parts, just like Lagos state. The major challenge that Enugu faces, just like other cities and towns on hilly and mountainous areas is water depth. Water seems to dry up leading to lack in those areas.

Constructing boreholes can be very expensive in those areas. For example, Lagos which is a lowland costs 150-250 k to construct boreholes depending on the areas. In Enugu, just like other hilly areas, one can spend cash much as 3m naira to construct boreholes, as depth matters.

Lagos has the challenge also around Ire Akari estate, Isolo, where water depth is deeper. Ire Akari is on the hilly side. But if you find water in the area, just like in other cities and towns, it is much better than you can find in other areas.

Hopefully pipelines can be fixed in a lot of the communities that do not have pipelines. New areas have developed over the years and pipelines are not located there.

Old neighborhoods like Ilupeju, Surulere, Victoria Island, Yaba, Anthony, Eric Moore, Ajegunle, Apapa, Jibowu, etc have pipelines running through them. Hopefully new areas like Ajah, Dopemu, Magboro, Ikotun, Ajangbadi, Okokomaiko, Ilogbo, Ikola, Abaranje/Okerube, Agbara, Command, Ayobo, etc can benefit from this. It should take plenty of time to lay the water pipelines, but hopefully the resources can be found to fix the pipelines.

Thank you to Lagos state government and the Governor.

TimeManager:
You can't convince me otherwise, I will still stand on my point that this apprenticeship is slavery. If you check am well, he fit dey do one kind corner-corner doings to help himself. "Making it this big" sounds like a pressure on him with the burden of a dad lying down with stroke partly as a result of how his son's boss treated his son. He has to be responsible for his dad's treatment and also start a business with a meagre 500k. A lot of these boys are into Yahoo, powder business, & other stuff.



-Kiss the truth!

So you can see what following APC blindly has turned a young man like you into.

Following APC blindly does not enable one to reason appropriately anymore.

Let’s put it this way:

Buhari became the President of Nigeria in 2015. You were his ardent follower, yet struggling to make ends meet. That’s ten years ago. In 2022, while Buhari was in his seventh year, the young man who was passing through the apprenticeship system had completed his learning and was settled with 500k. You were warming up to support a certain Asiwaju Tinubu, a very wealthy politician. While you did not have shishi in your pocket and no access to get money from BAT, the young man started his business with the 500k. While you were trekking up and down with nothing to show for it, the young man was working hard to grow his business. He applied the business skills learnt from his master, selling the same products that made his master wealthy. With the 500k, he has started off a new branch. While you are there waiting for crumbs and grants from your APC government, the young man who did not attend any private, state or federal university, has become very financially stable, with his 500k.

Rather than ask how the young man and others who passed through this world acclaimed apprenticeship system to take you in and teach you, you allowed tribal and racial sentiments to blind your reasoning. While you are still parading the streets of your community in search of your way out of the wilderness, the young man has made it. The FG is open to discuss with him. The banks are waiting to assist with finance if he wants. Society recognizes him. BAT will easily listen to him and even ask you to learn from him.

If he had done “corner-corner doings” and the authorities have not arrested him so far, do you not see that jealousy has gotten the better part of you? Is it not better to do the same “corner-corner things” than to be a slave to politicians, begging for crumbs daily? Between you and him who will politicians speedily allow to enter their offices and homes?

Bros, poverty no dey let person get sense. Leave poverty make poverty leave you. With your education, how far between you and him? Who is a slave now? Leave jealousy make e no kill you.

Peterobiisathie:
future impossible tense

Maybe that should make the two of you.

Bekermann:
God is Good charged me 43K to Aba just last weekend.

It should be so. Do not forget that Aba is much farther than Onitsha.

simpleseyi:
He will be in Kuje till Tinubu hands over to Shettima in 2031

What a very wicked wish.

Anyway, no wahala. You’ll take over his position in Kuje prison when he’s out.

Ola9ja23:
All located in SS and SE. Don't you think Tinubu hates SE and SS again ?


Ipobidiens and gibberish na 5&6

Should they be allocated to the North or Southwest?
The largest gas reserves in the country are found in the SE, while the largest oil reserves are found in the SS. With due respect, should the refineries be sited in areas very far from their raw materials?

If not for the foolishness of the leaders of Rivers state, Dangote refinery would have been installed there. Again if you have kept up with the news, you’d have found that BUA 200k capacity refinery is getting constructed in Akwa Ibom state.

Do not let tribalism destroy you as a young person.

Ojuntana:
How is calling a girl my wife sexual harassment

Please read the post and get a better understanding.
I copied and forwarded this sake definition just like Lauretta Onochie has done three days ago.

If you read it with understanding, then you’ll tell yourself that calling someone wife when she us not, is complete sexual harassment.

Do not get into trouble first please.

This is very unbelievable.

Mr. OP, I know fully well that the cost of transport from Egbeda to Ikeja was never 100 naira, not to talk of your imaginary 200 or 300 naira. The cost of transport to Ikeja from Egbeda is 800 naira presently and it is easily verifiable. The said 200 is paid by those going to Dopemu roundabout from Egbeda. By the way, the transport fare to Ikeja was 500 naira even as of 2023. You can verify all. Don’t paint a wrong picture here please. Petrol price reduced in Lagos, yet transport cost remains high. It is the same with other states, except that you are being lazy to do a proper job.

I wonder how you did not do you homework well before this report of Anambra state. Some of you fellows appear to be very obsessed with matters of Abambra state. Petrol was never 1,600. I wonder how you got that. Even in December when it. Was celebration time, petrol price did not exceed 1,200 per liter.

What you call the reduction in interstate transport is the norm for this period. Transporters hiked their prices during the Christmas holidays. Now that the season is over, they have reverted to the prices before Christmas. God is good for example charged between 30k and 35k, depending on the bus operated, before Christmas.

Please give us an honest report from other states. Lagos and Anambra are not the only states in Nigeria.

eazzzy1:
I hope she maintains the same energy when someone accuses her husband or sons of sexual harassment.

It’s a good thing it’s happening to the senate president. They should come up with laws to protect innocent men from false allegations.

Firstly, any accusation without tangible proof from the accuser should be considered false and punishable with imprisonment or fine.

Secondly, any accusation proven to be false should carry ten years imprisonment, no option of fine. When the accused can prove beyond reasonable doubt e.g. the case of Reno vs Natasha.

Thirdly, there should be a timeframe of when you can accuse someone, so the facts of the incident are still fresh and the accused can reasonably defend themselves. Any accusation from events that happened more than a year ago should be deemed false and punishable with jail time or fine.

Imagine how many men have lost their freedom or means of livelihood because they were falsely accused.

“…any accusation without tangible proof..”.

The question is this:

Did the senate committee allow the petition to enable everyone know if there were evidences or not?

Thank you very much Mrs. Fayemi. You earned my respect, just like your husband.

You hit the nail on the head. You got the point we were all along stressing. You addressed the matter very clearly.

Very foolish comment from the fellow. If he was reasonable, the bushman would have remembered that the SP, an APC man, was the subject matter. Senators rallied to defend the house and not their political parties. Look at the votes for and you”ll find APC in the majority. That is even natural because APC enjoys majority seats. How did it matter. Or did the bushman expect the Chairman of committee to be removed for the singular assignment?

This Bashir Ahmad is a complete DIDIRIN.

emmatex2020:
A letter signed by only the publicity secretary. Hahaha PDP under the current acting national chairman is control by Chief Barr Nyesom Wike. Any other PDP is fake, why have they not sold form for anambra governorship election? Wike is in charge of PDP structure

What’s the duty of a publicity secretary please?

Dbegining:
This is why we tell you guys to go to school. Did the senators you listed above challenge their suspension in court?

The ones who did, got reinstated with damages paid to them. Go to school. Don't be a role model for fools.

Please read the below and clear your doubts:

https://www.nairaland.com/8361078/nass-members-challenged-suspension-court

ChiefJusticeFuc:
The judge that gave that court ruling to halt the disciplinary committee that was setup to look into a petition filed by Natasha accusing Akpabio of sexual harrasment will surely face disciplinary action from the NJC.


Justice Ojukwu had earlier ruled on a similar matter brought to her court by a federal legislator challenging the Senate from carrying out a disciplinary hearing that the matter was purely a legislative matter and not a judicious one and had the senator go back to face his peers in the senate.

For those low iQ imbes out there, , note that the disciplinary committee was setup by Akpabio to look into a petition filed by Natasha accusing the SP of sexual harrasment. Natasha then ran to court to stop the committee from inviting her which is only natural to hear first hand from the petitioner .

How can you submit a petition and refuse to honour the invitation of the senate disciplinary committee setup to investigate your claims of sexual harassment?


This is akin to a woman going to the police to report someone of sexually harassing her and then going to get a court order baring the police from inviting her to substantiate your allegations ?


But we know most of you are either raving mad or just low iQ ferets or both.

With all your braggadocio, you ended showing you are either raving mad or a just low iQ feret or both. You just jumped into an issue that you were not properly informed on.

When Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan submitted her report, it was rejected by the committee on the ground that the matter, which was already in court, could not be adjudicated upon by them. They clearly said that it was against the principles of separation of power and they set it aside. The second petition was equally not attended to either.

The invitation that she got was not because of the petition that she wrote. It was about the so called disobedience to the house rules. They ended up suspending her.

Stop disgracing yasef.

Basicend:
Even if she had a video clip of her statement of allegations, terming it as a sexual harassment is still highly debatable.

They were verbal gestures. Not physical or forceful approach.

She was feeling entitled coz she felt the man has (or is still) toasting her, therefore what applies to others must not apply to her. Hence her unruly behavior in the Senate regarding seat shuffles. Which is not justified.

Please read the below definition of sexual harassment:



Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. The following behaviors can constitute sexual harassment:

1. Unwelcome touching: Unwanted physical contact, such as touching, patting, or pinching.
2. Sexual comments or jokes: Making lewd or suggestive comments, telling sexual jokes, or sharing explicit content.
3. Sexual advances: Requesting sexual favors, making unwanted sexual advances, or proposing a romantic or sexual relationship.
4. Displaying explicit content: Displaying explicit images, videos, or objects in the workplace or other environments.
5. Stalking or following: Following or stalking someone, either physically or online, in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable or threatened.
6. Sexual gestures or noises: Making sexual gestures, noises, or facial expressions that make others feel uncomfortable.
7. Inappropriate emails or messages: Sending unwanted sexual emails, messages, or texts.
8. Quid pro quo harassment: Offering benefits or rewards in exchange for sexual favors or threatening negative consequences for refusing sexual advances.

Sexual harassment can occur in various settings, including:

- Workplace: Between colleagues, supervisors, or clients.
- School: Between students, teachers, or staff.
- Public spaces: In public areas, such as streets, parks, or public transportation.

Remember, sexual harassment is never acceptable and can have severe consequences for the victim. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual harassment, there are resources available to help.

success1smyn:
No brother, those were abstention which means they didn't vote at all, either for or against.

Come to think of it, she was punished for disobeying the house rules and that's all. If she has a strong case against the SP let her pursue her case with evidence, afterall she is a lawyer

The Senate comprises of 109 members. A look at the numbers that either voted or absented told the story completely.

Disobedience to the house rules was an excuse to deal with her. Directly accusing the Senate President openly was a very silent factor and the Senate President’s supporters in the house needed to deal with her.

I agree with you about pursuing the matter in court. There is case in court against the Senate President already.

Now she can sit out the six months suspension or write an apology that should shorten the period. If she chooses to sit it out, then she can take the house to court thereafter and the suspension period could be shortened. Her allowances and those of her aides would be restored. Others have achieved success that way.

xoverx:
So because she is her daughter she should help her execute wrong instead of correcting her. These type of comments show how come Nigeria is where it is.

Thank you very much, Mr. Holier than thou.

billyG:
Even ireti sef join suspend her sister in d house what happen to sisterhood?

Don’t mind her. Ireti Kingibe’s so called “my daughter”, was a complete lie. No wonder Wike does not have any regard for her.

Alright.

A difference of five.

So truthfully those who voted in favour were afraid of victimization.

ddippset:
I am afraid you still don't get my point completely.

Don't get me wrong,, Fubara is a guilty as Wike in that regard.
Perhaps even more guilty than Wike.

If EFCC files a case they should both be prosecuted.

But to say that Wike did Fubara a favour by shielding him from EFCC is so laughable..

Absolutely you got it.

There was no favour done to anyone. Secrets were kept to be exposed sometime in the future. We are waiting to hear the secrets. The two were the major players in the secrets kept. I think that alone emboldened Fubara last year to fight Wike. The secrets!

bixton:
I don't think the security organizations are handcuffed by the politicians.

I think if we follow through some of the cases of the EFCC as it concerns former governors, you'll find out that the processes used by the agents of the EFFC are against the law and they don't follow due process.

I always laugh when they bring up a 300 count charge against a governor. For it shows both the investigation officers and lawyers don't have any concrete substance so they just dabble and find what may likely stick as a charge against the purported offender.

The “300 count charge made me laugh”.

Yes, sometimes they may be overzealous. Sometimes they detain first, investigate and proceed to court. Yet in all, there’s reasonable suspicion.

With the ex governors, the major stumbling block is the “contacts”. Those who they say place their legs on the case, making the officers drop either investigation or prosecution.

In all, we need strong institutions. They need to work, if our democratic process is to survive.

IGBOPROMISE1:
You’re either an alternate moniker of the crazed, Igbo-hating OP, or you’re both cut from the same stinking rag? The OP is the same beerfraud known for being insanely obsessed with anything Igbo, IPOB, Kanu or Obi! He can’t start his day unless he finds one news or the other to create a thread on so he and his diseased ilk can engage in their usual anti-Igbo rants!

Just listen to your idiotic self….’IPOB are disguising as Fulani herdsmen (probably making up and dressing up like Fulani…with a few cows in tow) and going about villages in the south-east to rape and murder men, women and children’! As if this statement isn’t daft enough, you then go on to ask….’how did Fulani herdsmen get into Enugu’! I mean dude, are you actually serious or is this just you putting on a dumb act!? Pray, why would Ndigbo, who never had and will never have a history of gratuitous and senseless cold-blooded murderous attacks on innocents, go out to target their own kinsfolk? For what reason!? And as to your annoyingly daft question of how the Fulani herdsmen found their way to Enugu?….At this point just give up! There’s just no cure for your type of obsession, madness and hate! Dude, why don’t you go one further and equally ask how the murderous sahelian herdsmen found their way to the south-west, south-south and middle-belt!?

Concerning the senseless Ebonyi murders, the vermin responsible WERE NORTHERN ELEMENTS! A day or two after the unfortunate event, AriseTV news reporters interviewed a few of the villagers on the incident, and the respondents identified their attackers as Fulani (personally i prefer to label them northern elements or sahelian vermin)! This stupid talk of the Ebonyi attack being as a result of ‘communal clash’ came about a day later and is just the usual wicked revisionist lies you hegemonic Igbo-haters come up with as and when needed! People like you may not have been directly involved in any attacks, but you’re more dangerous and more evil than the murderers on ground who actually carry out the killings! Your own is to fashion out unofficial state policies and give directions capable of killing hundreds or thousands of those you consider the ’enemy’, and who you think are or have the potential to be a threat to your hegemonic control of Nigeria! And it’s you lot that equally engage in the revisionism needed to cover up your tracks and turn the blame on the victims! In this instance, you have gauged the temperature of the room as it were and realised your hegemonic interests would be best served by removing the blame from the sahelian culprits and unjustly placing it with the Igbo victims! Revisionism and outright lies against Ndigbo is something you’re quite good at and have perfected over the years!

100%.

zero8zero:
Then why are you going after truck drivers carrying food items from the North to the SE?. Why must they be the ones to suffer for this?.



This is gory, but the truck drivers must not be ambushed anymore. These perpetrators could be ipob, if they could kill and behead their own people, who says..

What is more gory than so called Fulani herdsmen raping women and inserting sticks into their private parts? What is more gory than Fulani herdsmen burning peoples farms completely? What is more gory than herdsmen burning entire communities and killing the peoples of the communities?

It is an act of cowardice when in the face of the truth, you deny the fact. Cowardice is that you live the accused and attack the victim.

Everyday truck loads of northerners, especially from the Northwest and Northeast daily land to various states in the South, with sophisticated weapons and bikes. They entire peoples communities and in a matter of days are easily able to navigate the communities better than the indigenes.

One day right there in Festac, a lady was driving her car out of her house. An Northern Okada rider hit her car at the back. As she got down to ask him why he scratched her, the Okada rider slapped the woman. Before we knew it, several Nothern Okada riders stopped their machines and joined in attacking her. Why must we continue to tolerate this wickedness from these evil herdsmen?

The country recognizes freedom of movement and association. But when such freedom goes with deliberate acts of killing, maiming and destruction, something has to be done.

No more women to have sex with, not to talk of raping.
No more good food for life.
Will not be able to have families of their own.
No proper roofs over their heads.
No more proper beds and chairs.
All these because of their inability to let a little girl go her way. The little sum of 2k could have helped them with some ladies of easy virtue.

Very foolish men.

OP, before posting this, did you not read it clearly to see how contradicting it is?

On one hand insecurity grows, on the other hand Ken Emeakayi handles it.

Anyway, the days of uncontrolled and uncontrollable crimes in Anambra state have vanished. Anambra state once again will become the safest state in the country, with the present security architecture put in place by the Governor.

The major challenge which kept people in the homes was the infamous sit at home. Now people move around on Mondays and it is even very dangerous for the enforcers to move around on Mondays.

Touting and agberoism have in one single stroke be one a thing of the past. No one tries that in any part of the state anymore. Anambra state now has SASA better know as aka odo. If you are caught as a tout, you gave the law.

I am sure that you have heard of the recent Anambra state homeland security law. By this, the state has become a no go area for kidnappers, yahoo boys/girls, fake native doctors and prophets, drug users and those involved in other forms of criminal practices.

So OP, you need to update yourself about events ib Abambra state as you are neither resident there nor come from state.

bixton:
So if you say EFCC has all the information they needed against Gov. Wike , then why would they still need to arrest Fubara who was the accountant general and who was no where to be found because Wike had his him ?



The EFFC doesn't really have incriminating evidence on some of the governors except they get people like the accountant general and CJ to give him certain reliable infromation to their findings.

That's why we have EFFC cases against governors having 500 charges and none sticks because they do a shitty job on such.

Many of those the EFFC have actually succeeded in arresting and taken to court and a judgement given them is because the FG wants those fellows be gone.

Otherwise the EFFC is doing a shitty job in prosecuting governors.

I think we are basically saying the same thing. EFCC will not make an arrest without some information. That’s the way I see it. The challenge has always been with prosecution, with either the suspects or accused, using all means possible to subvert it. Yaya Bello’s case readily comes to mind, with the governor accused of protecting him in the state house and using all means possible to shield him.

Our security organizations seem to be handcuffed by the same politicians who make or are supposed to preserve the laws.

bixton:
In such cases, the EFCC needs financial information and documents as proofs from the Accountant General to be able to have an arrest of the governor....
If they do otherwise then it would just be like the case of Bello who is now off their hands.

But EFCC has the information needed.

Apparently not just Wike, but other ex governors, appoint their stooges to cover up their tracks. The reason appears to keep EFCC from accessing very sensitive and incriminating documents.

When EFCC sought to arrest Fubara then as the accountant general, it was stated that Wike kept him in the government house. When he bought him the ticket, Fubara was not seen. We had little glimpse of him during the campaigns and he was largely with Wike. Having handed over power, if Fubara cooperated fully, they would have an additional eight years postponing the day of reckoning.

This political battle is very necessary for the citizens to find out what’s happening in their state.

If Fubara is impeached, EFCC will easily pick him up and I think thereafter we should hear their long kept secrets.
