Well, let's all conclude this is some prank by some jobless person. Also, a cheap beef stunt. Don't believe this.

GudluckIBB: Fashola is gradualle becoming Something else.The other day he single handedly areested a General in the Army for taking BRT land and now,he is planning to send thugs back to the street to become Armed Robbers.He is also planning to send Lagosians to jail even if u are chewing Gum while driving.
I just hope I didn't make a mistake at the polls in 2011?

No, your electoral choice wasn't a mistake. You voted for a man with the people's interest and safety at heart. I see a safer Lagos when these policies fall in place.

A Nigerian model, Emmanuel Alakpa, who appeared on the communication materials of the Legend Real Deal Promo, has dragged Nigerian Breweries and Insight Communications to court for using his photograph for the build-up campaign of the promo without his consent. According to his lawyer, Felix Ogunmade of Felix Ogunmade & Co, the image was used for six weeks without the consent of the model.

Mr. Alakpa through the counsel is asking for N300million for damages. He is also praying the court to compel Nigerian Breweries to pay the sum of N100million being remuneration for the commercial exploitation of the claimant’s photographic image towards increasing the company’s business’ turnover and profits in the Legend Real Deal Promotion.

In the second claim, the lawyer asks Insight Communications to pay the sum of N100million as exemplary damages for deceit perpetrated on the claimant and another N100million to be paid by the agency and Nigerian Breweries as damage for the psychological and emotional trauma which, they, by their infamous acts, perpetrated against the claimant.

Alakpa told THISDAY that he was made to go through strenuous screening process, which climaxed in the photo session at Votiso Lenses along Adeniyi Jones only to be informed that he was not chosen for the job. He explained that the decision did not bother him because he knew some opportunities would come but what angered him was when he received call from a close friend that he was actually the face of the Legend Real Deal promotion.

“When I got to airport road on May 2, 2012 where the first poster of the campaign was hoisted, I was amazed. I called my agent to know if any of the three finalists was used for the job but he denied. My agent is Robert, the Managing Director of Bert Model.”

Alakpa, however, said efforts to get Insight Communications and Bert Model to explain the rationale behind the campaign without his consent were rebuffed. He stated that the agent later told him that contract papers would be signed after his lawyer stepped in. The model further stated that he reminded the agent of his initial stand that he was not qualified.

Speaking on the issue, counsel to Alakpa, Ogunmade, admitted that the model was indeed invited at a point by Insight Communications to participate in a screening process that would lead to the choice of the model that would feature in Legend Extra Stout campaign but was informed after the screening process that he failed in the exercise.

Having run the same campaign for 6 weeks, Ogunmade said: “At that time, the advertisements were being run nearly on a daily basis in newspapers apart from the fact that it was all over the place so the only thing we could do was to run to court to get an order of injunction to stop them from using the photograph in subsequent advertisement. We initially got an exparte motion and later we got interlogatory restraining orders.

By that, they have been fully restrained from using that photograph until the matter has been finally resolved one way or the other. So I have not been seeing it in newspapers again. But they had run it for more than 6 weeks.” On the damages meted out to his client, Ogunmade maintained that “Our client is claiming monetary sum up to about N300million in different forms of damages. The damage in terms of deceit by Insight Communications, damage in the sense that his image has been exploited commercially by Nigerian Breweries and damage in the sense of psychological and emotional trauma  inflicted on him. So based on those three counts we claim N100million each.”

When contacted, Insight Communications, through its Marketing & Strategic Manager, Franklin Ozekhome, declined comments, saying the matter is already in court and that his comments could affect the judgment especially if his position stands in favour of his agency

He doesn't need to be called. The top cop knows (even when asleep) the security challenges we are facing. And if perhaps you need this number for emergency, I sorry for you. You'll wait till eternity. Be your own police.

Damn it! We keep on going round in circles. No progress No nothing. Just plain wickedness and waste of time by these no-conscience politicians. Let it be clear that these are the last days of this country. A fierce change is needed. Bloodbath or waterbath, either of them will do us good.

Wow. This is sad. A lot came to my mind when I saw this. Only matters of the heart would prompt murder. More info on this please. We need to be sure.

Yea, Osun State has the best camp Nationwide. I enjoyed my 3weeks camp and the whole service year. The few sockets in the halls are usually in use by room mates so you'll have to patronise chargers at mammy market for N50. Well, just be vigilant and minimise the use of your phones. Also, keep your waist pouch strapped when even going to the bathroom or toilet. GoodLuck.

PrettyCindy:

Are you one? Which part?

Agbor. U?

Not in Lagos tho...

We follow back promptly and promote your corporate brand, as well as your personal image; PR/Publicity and marketing. Come on board :-)

I'm so confused at such news. The fact that the FG is helpless in stopping this monster is sickening. How do we get out of this mess? Everyday Jona keeps telling us that 'the perpetrators will be brought to book' biko, which book? For years, we've been going around this vicious circle of boko haram and no end in view. Like my friend said on Sunday after getting to know about the Kaduna bombing, an eye for an eye seems to be the realest solution to this. It sounds ugly, but we need to help ourselves.

I attended one of the mass recruitment at Gbagada(along Zinox road) It was hell that day, all manner of people where there. From frustrated to determined ones. Well, a lot of people didn't hide their feelings, as they walked out of the so called lead marketers/inspirational speaker.

How are you supposed to market drugs and supplements to Nigerians, when it is so obvious we have a basic problem of providing the most important things.
Well, the herculean marketers among us can make a fortune from that if they wish. U can use jazz and mojumoju if u want.

Brixtonyute: The word 'Nigeria' itself is uncivilized, just as most of the educated Nigerians are uncivilized.

The only civilized Nigerians are the ones living in the Villages who can think critically.

Most of the educated Nigerians act "civilized" but civilization is not about mimicking, it's about creating something unique based on your consciousness.

I rest my case.

True!

Wow...that's my fav dish. Are u guys Ika Deltans? Cool....:-)

Hmmm those WAEC questions that day na kpoi.

This guy should be killed immediately. You need to see how foreigners react when you tell them that you are Nigerian. They've painted us black in the foreign league, a colour that would take centuries to overturn. Too sad.

Lazy man!!!

Headlines, VANGUARD News

By Evelyn Usman
LAGOS — Emotion ran high yesterday at the Ajao Estate  Lagos, abode of one of the female victims of last Saturday’s robbery attack on a Luxury bus belonging to Ekene Dilli Chukwu Nigeria Limited and reported rape, along Ijebu/Ode/Ore expressway, Ogun state, following the 16-year-old’s account of  how she escaped from being gang- raped.

The gunmen according to her, carried out the reported rape out of frustration, when they discovered that their victims were students and not businesswomen who were possibly traveling to purchase goods in Lagos.

This is just as vanguard gathered that some of the girls who were rushed to the hospital on arrival Sunday, had been discharged , as none of them sustained major injury.

However, the Ogun State Police Command has said that it had no report of rape in the statement made by driver of the attacked luxury bus, even as it disclosed that  adequate patrol along the expressway had been intensified.

The Junior Secondary School girl (names withheld) who still showed signs of shock attributed her escape from possible rape to sheer providence through her unexpected menstrual flow.

According to her, “ I was sleeping  and did not know how the bus was intercepted. But what woke me up was a bark and the next thing I noticed was that we were inside the forest.

At that point, I started reciting my rosary on protection. Our phones were first collected and then cash. I was just with N1200, out of which I was to buy recharge card to contact my parents on approaching Lagos. That, they collected.

“We were thereafter asked to lie down. It was at that point that they discovered we were students and one of them shouted in pidgin English “so na because of these small children we dey do all this wahala?

Then, they started approaching us saying we should pull off our clothes. But one of them challenged the person that said so, asking if he did not realise we were children and it resulted in a shouting match between them.

As the quarrel was on, another member of the gang came to me and said I should strip naked, pointing his long gun at me. I cried and begged him to have mercy on me but he didn’t listen . Out of fear of being shot, I pulled my underwear, only to discover I was already soaked in blood. I did not know what got into me then. But the next statement that came out from me was that one of them had already done it and I started crying. He pointed his touch light and said ‘ you want talk say you never do am before?’ and he went away. I do not know what would have happened to me had my menstrual flow not occurred”, she said, shivering from the thought of the unexpected.

Asked if they had their ways with her colleagues, she replied, “ I did not see anything because we were all scattered and the whole place was dark., so you would not see or know what was being done to the other person except yourself. What they did was to point their touch light on whoever they wanted to talk to and then almost immediately, switch it off.  The only thing I heard was screams and silent prayers. I can not tell how long we stayed in the bush because I was not with a wristwatch” she said.

No report on rape — Police

Meanwhile when vanguard visited  Mobolaji Johnson headquarters of the transport company, the staff politely explained that they could not speak with journalists. The Manager and spokesperson who could have done so, was said to have gone to Ogun State police command in respect of the incident.

But in its reaction, the Ogun State Police Command said the case of rape was never reported to the Police by the victims but only that of robbery attack.

Spokesman for  the command, Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, stated emphatically that “the victims did not make such statement or complaint to the Police and our men at the scene did not see any sign of such. Though there was a robbery case involving the said luxury bus with Reg. No. XW 875 LSR at Ogbere area along Ijebu-Ode/Ore express-way,  with the prompt response of the Police patrol teams, the robbers were dislodged. The victims were rescued and taken to their destination by another vehicle provided by the Police.

“Also, the Command assisted in towing the faulty luxury bus in question to Lagos. Without mincing words, the Command did all that was necessary to protect the lives and property of the affected occupants of the vehicle,”Adejobi said.

He however, advised members of the public to avoid exposing their children and wards to both physical and moral dangers by avoiding night trips in its totality. Meanwhile, it was gathered that the robbery gang that attacked the luxury bus earlier carried out an operation at Ijebu-Ode, where they reportedly made away with some cars, same day. A motorist who claimed to be a victim, spoke to vanguard, following Monday’s publication, where he gave a vivid explanation of how the operation went.

According to the victim who spoke on condition of anonymity, “I was coming from Ijebu-Ode that Saturday, heading for Lagos, when all of a sudden I noticed  that vehicles in front had slowed down. It was about 8.15 pm. Then, I sighted some young men armed running and hitting vehicle windscreens. This was followed by gun shots. It was at that point that I realized they were robbers and I abandoned my vehicle and dashed into a near-by bush where I stayed for two hours. When I came out of the bush, including others who did same thing, we discovered that about five vehicles were driven away by the robbers.

The robbers were only putting on trousers without shirts and they numbered over thirty and were armed with AK 47 riffles. They made away with valuables inside the cars that were not snatched, including my phones. When I dialed my numbers, the person that replied spoke in Yoruba dialect”, he said.

A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Bisi Yusuf, representing Alimosho Constituency yesterday described the alleged raping of some of the female students by the robbers as ”barbaric, inhuman and cruel” even as he called for the much agitated creation of state police to effectively check some of the rising criminal acts in the society.

The concrete demarcation on the second picture can be found on any portion of Benin Lagos Express Way. They're different roads.

Eyaaa. Olodo attacks olofofo. English hard for some people o.
