Burna Boy stole from a lot of #Fela's songs and #afrobeats to become who he is today. - @abdulkareemeedris says #BurnaBoy should apologise for saying no one paved the way for him.

What of the ones parking on the streets? Who allows them??

https://tribuneonlineng.com/gridlock-apapa-landlords-converting-premises-into-truck-parks-―-opeifa/

The Vice-Chairman, Presidential Task team on Apapa gridlock, Kayode Opeifa, has raised the alarm that property owners in waterfront area’s of Apapa are now converting their premises into truck parks for container carrying articulated vehicles.

This is even as he added that when his team confronted the property owners, they said the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) gave them the approval to convert their premises into truck parks.

Speaking during a stakeholders meeting on Apapa gridlock, held in Lagos on Tuesday, Kayode Opeifa lampooned the property owners for converting their premises into truck parks without approval from the Lagos State Government.

According to Opeifa, “Some residents of Apapa have converted their properties to truck parks without any approval from the Lagos State Government. When we approached them, they said they have NPA approval, but I told them it is illegal for them to operate without Lagos State approval

“If you go to creek road, there are residents that are taking 100 trucks. They brought in 200 containers, truck drivers and their motor boys hanging at the jetties without considering safety of our waterways. We have two properties on creek road now operating barge operations. As far as Lagos State is concerned, if you have any license from anywhere, it is an illegal license because the property was not registered for that purpose.

“The trucks eventually come out by road, so there was nobody accounting for that. We just see that trucks in Lillypond could not approach the port because they are being given access into the port. Water transportation has to be done properly otherwise it will become the next mess inside the port environs.”

Opeifa, who claimed that there is no gridlock in Apapa as presently being portrayed by the media, disclosed that the Lagos State Government has approved the deployment of 200 LASTMA officials to sustain the sanity enjoyed in Apapa towards the last quarter of last year.

He said the mandate of the task force was not to solve the gridlock but to ensure that there are no trucks on the bridge, noting that without an effective truck call up system, it will be difficult to achieve sanity on the port access road.

In his presentation earlier, the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC) identified the shutdown of Lilypond truck park and corruption as factors fuelling the return of traffic gridlock to Apapa port access road.

Hassan Bello said there is need to put the Lilypond truck pack back into use.

Bello, who was represented by the NSC Director, Consumer Services, Cajetan Agu, said that the Presidential Task Team (PTT) should liaise with the Lagos State government on creation of mobile court to persecute those seeking bribes from truck drivers.

In the words of the NSC Boss, “We should liaise with the Lagos state government to give us mobile court for anyone seeking bribes so that anyone found guilty should be jailed to put an end to the bribery. Bribery is done in the open and none is complying with the system so, we need to enforce compliance.

“Reasons, why truck drivers are involved in malpractices is because there is no efficient system to punish them for wrong acts.”

The Shippers Council’s boss also said that trucks must be compelled to use the designated truck parks and adhere to the call-up system even as he called for efficiency of terminal operators to handle trucks released.

“Some truck owners don’t have garages. We must go back to the designated 48 parks for truck drivers to go for call up.

“Also, the efficiency of terminal operators must be looked into. For instance, if 50 trucks are released to a terminal and they don’t have capacity to handle up to that, there will be problem,” Hassan Bello added.

He also stated that there is need for inter-agency cooperation among different agencies of government at the seaport.

https://www.thecable.ng/nerc-50-of-nigerians-now-have-meters/amp

Sharfuddeen Mahmoud, general manager, Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), says 50 percent of Nigerians now have meters.

Speaking before the house of representatives committee on power on Tuesday, Mahmoud said he could not tell the exact figure of meters installed by each of the electricity distribution companies (DisCo) under the meter asset providers (MAPs) scheme.
The commission had ordered the DisCos to begin the roll out of new meters by May 1, 2019.

“We have already registered a number of metre assets providers for each of the DisCos based on a competitive procurement process. Right now, I am not in position to give you the exact figures of how many metres have been installed under this programme by each of the DisCos,” Mahmoud said.

“When you say how many Nigerians have metres, about 50 percent of Nigerians so far have metres. About 50 percent of Nigerians have metres. But on how many people have keyed into the programme, that is what I want to ask now.”
The latest NERC 2019 second quarter report, however, indicated that only 43% of electricity customers were metered as of June.

“Of the total of 8,881,443 registered active electricity customers, only 3,811,729 (42.92%) have been metered indicating that 57.08% of the end-use customers are still on estimated billing,” the report read.
“In comparison to the first quarter of 2019, the numbers of registered and metered customers increased by 40,642 and 17,834, representing 0.46% and 0.47% increases respectively. The increase in the number of registered customers is attributable to the on-going enumeration exercise by DisCos through which illegal consumers of electricity are brought onto the billing platform of the DisCos.”

Genius!

some jobs for geologists

A member of the Lagos State Civil Service Commission, Suru Avoseh, has said no fewer than 50, 000 applicants had applied for one thousand vacant teaching jobs announced by the state government in 2019.

Avoseh made this known during the New Year Party organised by the Badagry Women Development Forum on Sunday in Badagry.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Lagos State Government had on November 11 announced the plans to employ one thousand teachers into the public secondary schools across the state.

Avoseh said some of the applicants that qualified for the job had been invited for the examination. “After the examination, those that passed and meet up with the standard will be called for oral interviews. “At present, some of the applicants who succeeded in the examination have started receiving text messages through their phone numbers.

“It is certain that not everybody that applied for the job will be employed, and not all that passed the examination will be given employment,” the commission member said. He said that shortly Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and Civil Service Commission would soon start to employ people in the state.

“We will soon start employment too; every motion has been put in place and we have discussed it with the Head of Service.

“Currently, we have commenced staff auditing to know the number of vacancies to be filled up.
“It is after the auditing that the commission will be able to tell Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu the number of staff to be employed.
“So, we are making the preparation now,” Avoseh said.

A reporter’s account of unhindered drug dealings between pushers and customers in Lagos enclave ◗ Security agents, sources of supplies, residents claim ◗ All types of hard drugs peddled with impunity under cover of darkness ◗ Landlords, residents helpless after fruitless effort to dislodge drug pushers


Immediately they set their eyes on him, they scrambled for him, the swarm of pushers. They carried their dark bags behind them, protecting it with their left hands.
“Bros wetin you want?” The young man who got to him first asked.
The rest backed off, withdrawing into the shadow to begin the wait for another customer.
“I have SK, Marlian Cush, Reph, Tutolin. Tell me what you want,” the peddler who called himself Nuhu explained.
“We still fit get you White Man and Neddle,” he added.
After the customer indicated his interest, the peddler requested a referral, stating, “We no dey sell for first-timers.”
“I want SK, one wrap,” the customer said.
The peddler then disappeared, as he later disclosed, to do some checks to ascertain if the customer was genuine or fake, for as he told him, they were wary of a Jew or ekelebe , that is, first-timer.

He returned a few minutes later with one roll of marijuana and another unwrapped blunt in hospital nylon. A wrap costs N300 while the unwrapped one sells for N500.
The customer bought the N500 weed.
For as long as the transaction lasted, the pusher stayed away from the light, keeping his face in the dark.
After the transaction was successfully concluded, the pusher who identified himself as Nuhu, became jovial, referring to the customer as ‘OG’––street slang for master, which implied that the customer passed the test.
“You were very calm, not nervous at all,” he said.

There is a prevailing theory that drugs are sold openly in the neighbourhood because the supplies come from military officers in the area. The customer tried to confirm.
Responding in the affirmative, Nuhu claimed this was the reason they operate with impunity. “We sell their products for them and they give us our cut. It is a case of law enforcers breaking the law. So, why should I care?” he stated.
The pusher felt satisfied with himself. Unknown to him, his customer was a reporter conducting an undercover investigation.

An enclave of illicit business

The encounter described is an every night routine at 31, Road Junction (or 31 Junction) in the Lagos suburb of Egbeda. Three roads––Gate Road, 31 Road Gowon Estate and Okunola Road––connect to the enclave in a T-Junction that is ever busy at evening and well into the night. An assorted crowd of suya buyers, car wash customers, beer drinkers, Shawarma consumers, football fans and lovers of Amala besiege the area in the evening.
The hub of the drug racket is embedded amidst legit businesses such as Mouka shop, Senators Shop (a fashion-designing shop), TK Unisex Salon (which provides a convenient corner for hiding and packaging of the merchandise) and Ammmyjay Hair Salon upstairs which serves as a watchtower from where the dealers can scan the areas around the junction, the three roads and their immediate surrounding. Other stores such as LG shop and TJ Stores on 31 Road and Easy Bars and De Lord’s store on Adenle Road serve as hangouts for patrons and pushers who want to smoke as soon as it is dark.

Consequences for residents.

Mrs Agnes (surname withheld) who lives on Okunola road told the reporter she dare not send her daughters on an errand at night because of the activities around the junction. Some landlords, she said, had taken up the matter in the past. But “each time they found themselves helpless because there seemed to be no security agency concerned about it,” she stated.
“You can’t underrate the reach of these boys, the extent they can go to protect themselves. I won’t be surprised if they have guns on them,” she said. “They hardly run when they see a police vehicle on patrol or hear the sound of a siren, that is the level of confidence they have.”
She paused when her door creaked. Someone at the door requested for a lighter from the barman.
Continuing, she said: “That is the kind of thing I am saying; they have spoilt the environment for us. When I moved into this area, it was filled with natural air. Now the fumes from automobiles compete with smokes from these boys’ joints. They don’t only sell, they allow their customers to smoke around, some smoke there (pointing at the opposite street) because they think they are safe, while others smoke there (a place nearby) because they prefer to be with like minded people who also smoke.”
Indeed, the atmosphere was saturated with smoke. The air was heavy with the pungent reek of weed. A few figures could be seen in front of Mouka shop smoking. Others gathered by a kiosk, puffing into the air. Still, others sat on the car wash pavement and loitered on Okunola Road, all smoking. The street was further clouded by smoke from a nearby canteen. Residents have to live with the consequence of breathing in nicotine fume every evening.
In order to keep their activities clandestine, nearly all forms of illuminations on the street, both streetlights and shops’ bulbs, have been vandalized.

A shop owner in the area told the reporter he has warned his employees not to leave the security light on after office hours.
“When we moved into this area two years ago, we were experiencing theft of bulb every night till a friend told me that I should always switch off the security light and the theft stopped,” he stated.
At night, the vicinity of the T-junction is often in darkness, thereby making the surrounding of the Mouka shop a sanctuary for shady characters to conduct covert activities.

Another fallout of their activities is the stereotyping of residents of the neighbourhood as never-do-wells. Young people who ventured up and down the streets are often viewed with suspicion.
According to one of the shop owners, new faces can hardly enter the TK Unisex salon to have a haircut without being suspected. “You can’t also do a window-shopping at the LG shop without attracting accusing stares––’this weed smoker look’––from attendants,” he said.

Truth hidden in plain sight

Long-term residents of the neighbourhood, however, claimed nothing ontoward happen within their vicinity. Kunle Adefarati, one of the regular patrons at a hangout located at the junction, told the reporter he was born inside a room at 401 Road in Gowon Estate. On this night, he was nursing a bottle of Heineken.
For him, there is nothing extraordinary about the neighbourhood. “Around here, there is no status difference. Everyone is equal to every other person. There are no untouchables and there is no cultism here. Here is for fun-seekers only,” he asserted.
“Some people might be involved in illegal stuff, but that is part of the fun. I come around here and catch my fun without having to go as far as the Island or Surulere,” he declared and took a gulp from his bottle.

There is a claim that pushers have godfathers in the area. It is a difficult question to ask anyone. But the more you look, the more you see. At about 11 pm, a lone Toyota Camry was parked at the car wash area. The occupant, a local kingpin known as Akube, sat at the back seat, surrounded by his cohorts, all of them covered by a fumes from weed. Pushers at interval made their way to the car, to pay him dues.

Any light since dem start strike??

Reposted from @emmaugolee - So we did it again and the hospital documents appreciation for rare commitment, excellence and dedication to health with our 3rd certificate.

The system here thinks this is a big deal because all it takes is missing one session, not to qualify for this. For me that would have been 1 out of 48 sessions in 12 weeks. 1 out 208 sessions in 1 year and since I've been here for almost 2 years, that would be roughly 416 sessions [1,664hours at 4hrs per session of dialysis]. We no miss one. Hence the term "perfect attendance".
_
They just asked permission to put my name up on the wall. You should have seen the grin on my face.
_
If you know how hard it is to psychologically, financially, physically & emotionally go through one one week of this you would understand why they would go through the pain of making a certificate, why i am to pleased to show it off and most importantly what it says to you about the power and will to beat odds.
_
I swear, its harder than i make it look but the pushing cannot stop. Soon and very soon it would be a dialysis discharge note. We are almost there. So "why not just go out in class and style on your two feet?" ..i ask myself.
_
Ok, so mine is this gruesome routine of sticking huge needless into me and draining and replacing all of my blood four times a week. What is yours? What is that thing that you must patiently and pain stakenly keep doing, hoping for a breakthrough soon?
_
My certificate in your face is my attempt to tell you that dropping your hands or loosing focus and dedication is not an option. We have to keep pushing to the end. No matter how often or how long it takes, we keep going my people. No choice. And we shall do it with grace and style. With gratitude and hope refreshed daily.
_
Your spirit may suffer low moments (like i do almost daily) but it must not break. You would keep at it. Resilient till the end. With God's help Discipline & Dedication we march to the place that we would be proud of. So dear finishers...lets go there.
