I can't remember the last time i ate in my dinning. I always eat my food in the sitting room sitting close to the TV.

This is the dumbest post of the year.

maasoap: The rumours had been going on for some time that d primary sch certificate holders who were initially shortlisted for newly recruited OYES cadet volunteers would be dropped. When the announcement was made, it specifically mentioned age cap which must not be above 35years but no mention of minimum qualific of SSCE. Pri sch certholders were shortlisted, made to undergo 3weeks intensive training only for them to be told this morning to go back to their homes. Do u need SSCE to volunteer $ sweep road in Osun?

Primary School Certificate in 2013! Your post also made me sad.

CrazyMan: I've never witnessed a bank security man requesting for tips...they only smile and assist you in pushing the button of the security door to easy your passage, then wish you a great day on your way out...its up to you to give them whatever you feel like giving.

As that of the cashiers, I believe your story is false...cos no cashier would beg a customer for money in the banking hall.

The story is not false about the cashiers, i have been begged by cashiers for weekend money many times.

chaircover: mba!!! i fit collect my money myself

It be like say money dey here o. I am available for your security. I get arrow, dagger and shotgun etc.

Giwa and Umunna have something in common......Southern Nigeria i hail o!

It is very rare to see a banned Yoruba poster whining. Why are you always whining?

Can we see the pictures of the market now?

The Lagos State Government today re-opened Ladipo Auto Spare Parts Market in Mushin area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria after two weeks of closure.

The market was shut by the government on 25 February, 2013 as a result of filth at the market and environmental degradation, as well as hooliganism and thuggery in the market.

Officials of the Lagos State Government and leadership of the market met today and signed an agreement that the market must be kept clean always and that no street trading would be allowed on the streets.

Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman told P.M.NEWS that the government and the traders are meeting over the re-opening of the market, saying that the market would be re-opened after the meeting.

Commissioner for the Environment, Mr Tunji Bello had said that some of the conditions that might warrant re-opening of the market include: complete removal of all illegal structures and attached structures built along canal paths and that traders must be confined to the main markets.

“Under no condition must they trade or solicit for customers on the main road, they must remove all shop attachments built round the market/canals, remove all derelict and abandoned vehicles parked within the market as far as the expressway, remediate all forms of degradation on the roads and market area, sort out waste management issues with LAWMA as they cannot continue to dump into the canals, ensure total cleaning of the entire market and adjoining streets which they have degraded, among others,” he said.

Bello had lamented the poor state of the market, saying that “ the environment is seriously polluted and degraded with oil; full and half engines spare parts and human waste are dumped into canals, while illegal structures were built along drainage paths and all the canal setbacks have been turned to shops and trading points.

“A visit to the place also shows that street traders have taken over the entire major inlets and outlets at the market, while residents have severally petitioned the Ministry of the environment about lack of access to their homes and property. These traders have degraded all the major access roads to the market which need remediation rehabilitation.”

Before the re-opening of the market, intensive sanitation had been done by the marketers, while shanties built on drainage channels were demolished.

Last week, Governor Babatunde Fashola visited the market with his counterpart from Imo State, Rochas Okorocha and decried the horrible environmental state of the market and gave conditions for its re-opening.

He described the state of the market and its environs as “massive degradation of a section of Lagos,” saying that the good thing in the visit was that the traders had seen the lack of caution in their deed and were ready to make amends.

“It is a massive degradation of a section of Lagos and this is not acceptable. People should not carry on like this. But what is, perhaps, worthy of note is that those who are involved have seen the error of what they have done here and are ready to work with us to clean-up and I have said here that they must take the lead.

“The canal there poses a lot of danger and we are expecting heavy rains. I don’t want to come back here to pick any dead body. We built the canal and we must make it work by not trading on it and not dumping refuse in it.

“People told me that they picked engine parts, spare parts and other things from the canal. It must stop,” the Governor said, adding that there is now an agreement between the traders and the Government to work together to clean up the place and continue with the business there,” he said.

According to Fashola, “if you must trade here, you must stay behind the property line. You can see the damage you have caused to the road. We have to come back to re-do the road. Now this will be done with taxpayers’ money. It is fine that you want to do business but those who pay the money used to construct the road must also be able to use it and how do they do that if you take over the road?”

Ketu area of Lagos State was thrown into confusion after the shocking discovery of the corpses of two toddlers, Toheeb Adedokun and Tajudeen Falilu, who disappeared in January.
PUNCH Metro had reported exclusively on January 30, 2013, that the missing children were suspected to have been kidnapped when all efforts to locate them proved abortive.
However, the corpses of the children were found in an abandoned vehicle, two houses away from their parents’ home on Taike Street.
Reliable sources told our correspondent that the vehicle was a Honda Pilot Sports Utility Vehicle which the owner had used as collateral and thus abandoned it.
The source said after the children wandered off, they went into the vehicle and were trapped inside, causing them to suffocate.
He said, “We had searched all over for the children to no avail and assumed they were kidnapped. Even the police thought it was kidnap. Only if we had known that the children were trapped in a vehicle in the next compound, we would have saved them.”
The spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the discovery to our correspondent on the telephone.

3 injured as Oyo ACN members demand removal of exco

IBADAN—Scores of members of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Oyo State, yesterday, demanded the removal of the state Chairman, Chief Akin Oke.

Though, the protest was peaceful initially, it later turned violent leaving three persons injured.

It was alleged that some members of state National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, hijacked the protest and wounded some of the protesters.

The youth displayed placards, alleging the interference of the First Lady of the state in the running of the party.

Some of the placards read, “Governor, enough of Madam’s interest,’ ‘Akin Oke Must Go; he is a traitor,” among others.

They vowed not to relent until the chairman and others were removed.

Vanguard gathered that members of the union had got the hint of the protest and ambushed them.

Members of NURTW were said to have attacked the protesters at the party secretariat in Yemetu, Ibadan.

After the protesting youth had been dislodged from the party’s office, they headed to the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, office in Ibadan, where they addressed newsmen.

They specifically called for the removal of the state chairman of the party, Chief Oke, his deputy, Alhaji Isiaka Alimi and the Secretary, Alhaji Mojeed Olaoya.

Ndigbo, what is happening to the land of the rising sun?

BY CHIDI NKWOPARA, OWERRI.
About ten unknown human bodies that are in varying stages of decomposition have been spotted in a burrow pit at Mgbirichi, along the ever busy Owerri-Port Harcourt federal highway.

Vanguard learnt that the shocking discovery was made a group of women, who were on their way to their farm, suddenly discovered two dead bodies that were dumped in the pit.

Scared by the shocking finding, the hapless women rushed back home to announce the development to their fellow villagers.

Confirming this to Vanguard, one of the villagers who spoke on strict grounds of anonymity, said “the community leaders quickly reported the ugly incident to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Umuagwo”.

Continuing, the villager recalled that after seeing things for themselves, including the seemingly fresh bodies and other decaying human parts littered inside the burrow pit, the two fresh bodies were buried in the place.

“Health workers under the watchful eyes of the visiting policemen later buried the two fresh bodies in the burrow pit, while the other decayed human parts, including bones which littered the place, were not attended to”, the villager said.

The new Police Public Relations Officer, Joy Elemoko, a deputy superintendent of police, DSP, could not comment on the issue because she was not able to get across to the Divisional Police Office, DPO, in charge of the area

PointB: Trouble in paradise. Where are the ACN boys, and the retardeen choirs.

They are in Oshodi market.

What is wrong with this Ogun House of Assembly? During Gbenga Daniel it was a Hell of Assembly. Why? Why Yoruba?

@OP, it is Ojukwu and not Ojuikwu. Kindly correct the Title.

NIGER (Pictures will be ready next week when i return to Minna)

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]What's holding Nigeria together is the thieving elite and ruling class from ALL regions/ethnicities; it's also because of these same people that we're yet to sit down at a round table to address fundamental issues facing us and restructure this country.

They are the ones enjoying this 'one Nigeria'; cutting deals and feathering their nests for the present and later generations of their families to pig-out on for life! More than 100 million Nigerians are suffering with the status-quo, and these are the hidden and silent majority that would gain from a sovereign national conference that would bring about a new way of doing things......not necessarily to break up the country.[/quote]+100

You got it right.

Billyonaire: I am surprise that IBB is very popular amongst the underdogs, This is a Military Dictator who annulled June 12, killed MKO Abiola, and set this country backwards. This IBB should have been shamefully sacked from PDP and publicly executed if not for respect we have on past Presidents. In his very careful and maradonic move, he uttered an inconclusive statement and the APC (should I say Chloroquin) parasites are scrambling for wants of words. Is IBB relevant in today's Nigeria ? The answer is No, IBB is the reason we are in darkness. It takes a GEJ to refocus our steps.

Why should he be publicly executed?
