No light for more than three weeks in my area Onishon/ Kajola Lekki Epe Expressway.

No light in my area Bogije/ Elemoro for the past three weeks. Total blackout.

Discovered it in 2006, was a ghost reader. Officially register an account in 2012 but couldn't remember the log-in details . Continued in my ghost mode till early 2021.

It looks like a tracker placed by an ornithologist

I remember sometimes ago between 2011/2012 when my mother was still alive. I went home to visit her and it was reported in the community that Boko Haram had penetrated their community using this bird to spy on them. It had a ring with a tracker but my mama ( in her 80s with limited exposure) and her friends thought otherwise. See fear in the neighbourhood

I asked my mummy if she had seen the bird and she answered NO but it was what was trending in the community. I had a good laugh and I went on to educate her and many around on what had happened and the reasons for the tracker. Keep resting mama, you were just too funny.

Happy birthday to you.
May grace and peace from God locate you today and always.
Many happy returns

Dat one dey.

After 8 years, Tinubu will handover to north.

The north will then rule for 8 years and handover to South South.

Nobody will give okoro.

My dear, what you have typed is the problem of Nigeria. We see attitude in our daily living. We take what belong to others unjustly. Remember God is not mocked. You cannot ask everyone to sign an agreement and then go behind to alter the so called agreement for reasons best known to you. Nigeria does not have two tribes but many. Learn to think fair and play fair. Let it go round.

I quite agree with you

As it is the IG of Police is a ceremonial position in this country.

Should the FG ban this project?

See question.

idahme:
How do they want to develop their LGA when they don't even live inside the state not to talk of the LGQ

With this new law hopefully they will learn to live within their LGA. I pray the law will stipulate the number of years one needs to live in a locality with evidence of living there before vying for any position therein. We will get there

I will applaud this administration for the 2nd Niger Bridge by the time they complete and inaugurate it.

Previous administrations actually played politics with that bridge.

I am looking forward to plying the bridge very soon by the grace of God, Amen. I do appreciate everyone that has been working together to make the bridge a reality.

Emecson:
The worst is abia state,

It is so sad.
The State capital is nothing to write home. The major streets and minor ones are now filled with potholes. No visible development in the capital.

Truly, from what I could see of Umuahia town, Dr. Victor Okezie Ikpeazu, PhD is vision-less, clue-less and care-less about his role. His ability to respond to the State as a governor is nothing to write home about.

Collapsed 21-storey Ikoyi building: Lagos to prosecute Fourscore Homes
• White Paper okays trial of civil servants
By Adekunle Yusuf, Associate Editor On Feb 17, 2022

Fourscore Homes Ltd – the firm developing the 21-storey building that collapsed on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, on November 1, 2021— will face criminal prosecution.

This is part of the White Paper on the incident in which about 50 people lost their lives.

The remaining two structures being simultaneously constructed in the vicinity are to be demolished because they failed structural integrity tests.



Promoter of the firm Mr. Femi Osibona died when the building came down on the fateful day.

Also recommended to face administrative disciplinary panel are all government officials involved in granting approval to the developer in 2019.

The White Paper was prepared by the Lagos State government on the report submitted to it by the panel that probed the building collapse.

According to the White Paper, the remaining high-rise buildings will be pulled down through controlled demolition.



Twenty-six out of the 28 recommendations contained in the Report were accepted by the government.

Submitting the report on January 5, the panel chairman Mr. Toyin Ayinde, a town planner, blamed the collapse on the erosion of professional ethics and disregard for due diligence.

In the course of their investigations, the panel members visited the project site for a general assessment; coordinated activities of the consultants who conducted tests on the site and reviewed documents from relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs)

They also conducted interviews; interrogated 91 persons; collected 21 memoranda and accessed the remaining buildings being developed by the late Osibona.

The tribunal, which was given nine-terms of reference, also hosted a representation of the developer’s company comprising two legal firms.

A new committee, which reviewed the tribunal’s 28 recommendations, was chaired by Commissioner for Special Duties Tayo Bamgbose-Martins.

The Head of Service (HoS), Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola, Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice Moyosore Onigbanjo and Agriculture Commissioner Mrs. Abisola Olusanya, served as members.

The accepted 26 recommendations bothered on individuals and institutions – both private and public.

The review panel rejected two recommendations for being nebulous.

The government accepted the recommendation that Fourscore Heights Limited, owners of the collapsed building, be prosecuted in view of loss of lives involved in the tragedy.

The white paper frowned at a situation in which Fourscore was builder and architect – all rolled into one. For this, the tribunal concluded that Fourscore Heights did not do the right thing, a negligence that led to the loss of lives.

The state government has since directed the Office of the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to institute appropriate charges against the company.

For failing structural test, the two 15-storey buildings have also been approved for demolition through controlled demolition technique, having been recommended for such by the tribunal and accepted to by the state government.

The White Paper also recommended “evacuation of all occupants within a 45m radius from the extreme boundaries of the blocks in the interest of public safety.”

The White Paper states: “The developer, having been negligent, is to forfeit the project site to the state government, in accordance with section 25(4) of the revised LABSCA regulation 2019.

“All the various participants, including civil/public servants, found culpable are to face disciplinary actions and prosecution, where applicable.

“This included all those that were involved in the 2019 approval of the collapsed building. The civil servants are to first face the personnel management board, in line with the public service rules. The disciplinary process is to be set up immediately and concluded with 14 days.

“Apart from civil servants, some professionals have also been referred to the professional bodies for disciplinary actions. The list here included engineers, town planners, and architects; while some companies have also been referred to the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria for disciplinary actions for their roles in the collapsed building. Besides this, some indicted companies such as the urban primer have also been blacklisted for the roles the played in the tragedy.”

The document chided three town planners (civil servants) who were said to have lied on oath.

According to the report, the three town planners were said to have authored a report using a consultancy firm’s name and claiming it was the firm that signed the papers for the collapsed building – all done without the knowledge of the firm’s owners. The three civil servants are to be prosecuted for preparing a consultant’s report through a dubious method.

However, one Oluwole Oludimu of Prowess Engineering Limited was highly commended for exhibiting the highest professionalism in challenging circumstances and standing firm despite intimidation by the developer and subsequent removal from the site by his firm.

The government also accepted the recommendation that an audit exercise by an independent consortium of professionals to scrutinise all high-rise buildings in the state.

Also accepted was the recommendation that there should be training for all officials involved in the building approval section, with more hands recruited to assist agencies that are short-staffed.

Righteousness2:
I do not know the point Evang. Fummi is driving at, what I know is;
Speaking in tongues is not what you learn or imitate.
Speaking in tongues is not what u Carnally or Physically do.
Speaking in tongues is not rapping .

Speaking in tongues starts as a result of the HOLYGHOST Power and Unction descending on a human.

Speaking in tongues is Communicating with the throne of the ANCIENT of Days in a Higher level language.

You must understand that the HOLYGHOST does not Dwell were sin is . It is a Spiritual thing. The HOLYGHOST comes in a Saved, Sanctified Heart that is Dead to Sin and Hungry for Holiness.

Trying to just speak in tongues Carnally is a Fruitless exercise.

Could you give Bible verses to back up your points, please? We need to learn like the Berean Christians. Thanks

Abegi, asking for someone, na im kill am?

It happened to me as I couldn't remember to spell the same

philGeo:
Fact, they are trouble makers.

I beg to disagree

Thanks for my education

This N-power is something else. I know of someone who has just been posted to a primary school in a remote location here in Lagos. For her to get to her PPA she would be spending 800naira to and fro making 1,600 naira daily, five times in a week and 4/5 weeks in a month for 30, 000 naira.

@ op, what do you advise?

Everyone complaining about his big belly and accusing him or rituals and drugs, yet you and your 6 packs/hunger-influenced abs is busy typing from your face-me-I-slap you room in Mushin

Why must it be Mushin?

Anigreat:




Then Abia state is finished kpata-kpata.


Orji is known to be choosing useless and clueless people to lead the state, this we can see In fat ugly ikpaezu. This one here, won't be an exception.

When Orji Uzo Kalu was leaving he had to look for someone clueless than him in person of T. A. Orji for easy comparison.

When T.A. Orji was leaving he had to look for a someone more daft, devoid of any reasoning and has no business in governance in person of Dr. Victor Okezie Ikpeazu, PhD.

And Dr. Victor Okezie Ikpeazu PhD is able to continue for the past 6 years because our judiciary was and is still being compromised.

FreeStuffsNG:
Fake news. Those are not folks returning to the SE.

Not fake my dear. I experienced it last July when I traveled to the Eastern region. On the stretch from Onitsha to Owerri and also from Owerri to Umuahia. From the driver of the bus, I learnt that after 6pm, you don't see them trying this stunt on the passengers.

I pray/hope he would drop "ego/pride/ do you know who I am in Nigeria/ I have too much connection" and listen to common sense, Toyin.
