If you've ever run a red light, bribed an officer of the law, driven without a driver's license, altered your age to get employed, cheated in an exam or falsified figures in your office or contravened the law in any way willfully and you're celebrating this, then your house should also be razed by fire by the grace of God

Fire's out. Only a very small section of the house was affected. No life was lost. Firemen arrived faster than they will ever arrive should the house of anyone that has celebrated this inferno be gutted by fire

LocalChamp: Robbers kill U.S returnee in Enugu
Posted by: Chris Oji Posted date: December 27, 2012 In: News Update

Robbers on Boxing Day shot dead a man who came back from the United States to celebrate the Christmas with his family.

[/b]The robbers, two in number, were said to have trailed the man whose name was given as Bernard Ogbonnaya Edoga from a bureau de change where he made some financial transactions.[b]

He was shot in the house of a relation in Mgboko Aku in Igboetiti local council of Enugu State.

The victim was said to have branched into the relations house to drop some Christmas presents when the two gunmen shot him.

The gunmen made away with all the money in his possession and some documents, including his international passport.

Although the amount taken away from him was not known, it was disclosed to be a large sum.

Spokesman for Enugu State police command, Ebere Amaraizu said the police had commenced full investigation into the killing.

According to Amaraizu, the victim was rushed to the nearby Attah Memorial Hospital, Aku where he was confirmed dead, while the body was deposited at the hospital’s mortuary.

Okija_juju: What is this Yoruba man talking about biko nu?!

So because Firecrackers shop burn, it makes firecracker business a bad thing.. What about gun shops, car shops (No thanks to those Mobile coffins owned by Yorubas call Molues..), cement shops (all the Yoruba peoples houses that keeps collapsing and killing Igbos in lagos)..

Abeg, make that man stop to reason like who get tribal mark for brain...
So a business that has been prohibited by government should be encouraged to thrive because it belongs to an Igboman abi? What makes you think the government of Lagos has not gone after those who own or were involved in the construction of those collapsed buildings? What also makes you think the LASG has not started a clamp down on buses that do not meet the minimum safety requirement for operarting within the metropolis.

These Igbo guys just never cease to amaze me. Almost everything illegal and criminal is perpetrated by them and while only a handful of their governors get to perform, they will ignore them and start taking eye drops for the Yoruba man's conjunctivitis

If they actualize Biafra, the first thing their people returning home will experience will be the worst of crimes against them from armed robberies to kidnappings, then rape and murder.

Politics2012 Lagos Countdown: Biggest New Year's Eve Party In Africa by geeez(op): 9:53am On Dec 27, 2012
The 2012 Lagos Countdown is a world-class celebration of the end of one year and the beginning of another in Lagos State.

The Lagos Countdown will take place on some portions of the newly reclaimed Eko Atlantic City and Bar Beach. The event is being conceived to create an end of year cross-over tradition that would engage citizens of the state (and visitors) throughout the end of year holiday season.

The event will take special significance at the Eko Atlantic City particularly because all of the land that was washed away by the ocean over 50 years ago is now being reclaimed. Many perceive this to be a “white elephant” project, but what better way to usher in a New Year than to do so on land that was deemed lost and that is now bursting with enormous potential for a new city!

We anticipate that over 50,000 people will converge on the Atlantic City to welcome the New Year in true Lagos style. The Lagos Coutndown will feature several activities and events that would come to a climax with a thrilling and exciting display of choreographed fireworks, pyrotechnics and music.

Within the next few years, we anticipate that this event will be the biggest New Years eve celebration in all of Africa.

deltaforce7: Governor Fashola should look at issues objectively. What if the owner of the property was not aware such inflammable substance was stored in there by the tenants? Don't forget it was a store house used for business purposes.

Having said that, it is grand display of irresponsibility to store crackers to such magnitude and not expect the possibility of a mishap. The governor should make the law enforement agents fish out the owner of the crawkers and ensure he is made to face the full weight of the law. Those who cleared the importation of the crackers should also be arrested and dealt with. What has gone wrong with our society?
Fashola hasn't said he's going after the owner of the house but the owner of the merchandise

PoliticsRe: How We Killed US Returnee -kidnap Suspects by geeez: 8:41am On Dec 27, 2012
ogb5: in the 80's it was common knowledge that many ibos supplement their business with cheating and in some cases stealing.

they will own cd195 motorcycles then which they use in patrolling the highways. any broken down vehicle which they come accross on the road they will canibalise and sell as spare parts.

many turned a blind eye then. the reasoning was that these were a people who lost so much during the war. it was felt as their little way of showing their vengeance.

so the nation watch while the ibo man destroyed public infrastructures to sell either as spare parts or as scrap metals. they will cut off metal parts of bridges for metal scraps. stealing of Nepa electric cables, insulators and transformers were fair game to them. the small thieves among them will drain the coolant oils from electricity tranaformers, making the transformers to overheat and blow up while they sell coolant oil as mercury.

buried armoured electricy cables where not out of their reach, neither where overhead metallic road signs. The Ibo man was willing and able to destroy and public infrastruture to sell as scrap metal.

Those were those days. they did all these mostly outside their regions. they destroyed public infracstructure in regions that fought the war against them.

these days, the Ibo man has progressed; he is no longer contented with destroying public property to sell as scrap outside of his region. Today the ibo man sells his brother as scrap in all regions.
they kidnap any one for ransom. their sons can no longer go home from christmas for fear of kidnappers lurking in their villages. even when they remain in the city, they are still fair game to their brothers in the kidnap game.

how lower can the ibo man sink in the quest for easy money. It is really sad to see the great contributions of many hardworking ibo men blighted by the negative actions of an equally large number of ibos.
These guys are Nigeria's biggest problem. They have introduced different forms of crimes into a region that was erstwhile peaceful and calm. Even the ones in the corporate world devise all means to rip their clients off and play dirty with threats and fraud. They are the ones that will refuse to pay their staff who are in most cases their kinsmen. These guys are trouble anywhere they go leaving behind a tale of woes and anguish in their trail

PoliticsFashola Vows To Deal With Owner Of Stored Fire Crackers by geeez(op): 6:03am On Dec 27, 2012
The governor of Lagos state, Mr Babatunde Fashola has vowed to punish the owner of the store where fire crackers that exploded on Wednesday were stored.

Fireworks stored in the warehouse triggered the explosion in a commercial area of Jankara market and an 11 year old boy was confirmed dead at the site of fire cracker explosion which occurred at 9AM at Oroyiyin\Jankara axis on Lagos Island.

The explosion and inferno set ablaze 15 other adjourning buildings and injured about 40 people. The explosion gutted buildings, cars and property at the Oroyiyin – Jankara axis on Lagos Island.

The Governor who visited the explosion site described the incident as “unfortunate” while he heaped blames on owners of the store for being reckless business owners.

“In order to make quick business, we have lost a life, we lost property and all of us are in danger” the governor said.

Mr Fashola noted that there must be a lot of soul searching and reflection and choices to be made for people to go on and he called on people to make the choice on safety in all they do while government invests in infrastructure.

Lagos state is one of the states that has banned the use of fire crackers , popularly called bangers during festivities and the governor lamented that “we make rules, we break them.”

“All of these items are under one form of prohibition or the other and we have men and women at our various entry and exit points”.

“How did they get in?, how did they enter?, who shipped them?, who imported them and who cleared them?. Who approved them to come in. Those are very serious issues. We must also ask ourselves, must we do every business?”, he asked rhetorically.
