chiover: If a bone setter could lament this much,how would a coffin dealer lament? One man meat is another man's poison

I wonder oooo

The Benin Traditional Bone Setting Centre said it had lost 80 per cent of its customers to the ban on motorcycles.

Mr Louis Adaa, one of the managers of the centre, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Benin on Wednesday that the ban had negatively affected the bone setting business due to low patronage.

NAN recalls that Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, southern Nigeria, in a broadcast on 17 June, banned the use of motorcycles for commercial purpose in three local government areas of the state.

Adaa, however, said that despite the declining business, the ban was a welcome development.

“I like the ban on motorbikes because it has helped to reduce road crashes.

“Motorbikes had been boosting my business. The ban is a good development. In another way, I don’t like the ban because it is really affecting my business negatively.

“Before the ban, we usually received a lot of patients who were involved in motorbike accidents on a daily basis and we were really making good money.

“But now, only few patients come here and they are mainly those involved in domestic accidents. We hardly have patients on a regular basis, one per month,” he said.

Adaa, who did not mention the amount involved, said the business was owned by his father who sent him and his siblings to school with monies realised from it.

“Now that there is a ban, we will adjust. God will always make a way where there is no way,” he said.

kokoye: The daughter shouldnt have had that kind of easy access to the news desk.

God bless you!

The only sensible comment I've read so far on this thread.

I'm very sure that this will make front page!

From Agege, get down to Oshodi. At Oshodi, take a bus going to Costain/Orile. Tell the driver or conductor that you will alight at Orile-Iganmu. Hope this helps...

A school that was turned into a brothel where hoodlums pay guards to allow them have sex with their female companions at night has been raided by Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.


During the raid, two guards at the school, Ilupeju Grammar School, located at Ilupeju in Oshodi, were arrested and charged to court in connection with their alleged despicable roles in the matter.

The investigations revealed that the two guards, 60-year old Mr. Julius Okenla, and 45-year old Mr. Adebowale Adeloye, were accused of allowing hoodlums to sleep with their female friends in the school after they had allegedly been paid.

It was gathered that hoodlums who want to sleep in the school pay between N200 and N300 to the guards, while those with female companions pay N700 to be allowed to sleep in the school to have sex.

At the Special Court in Alausa where the guards were arraigned, they pleaded not guilty to the charge brought against them and were granted bail in the sum of N50,000 each, plus two sureties each who must have evidence of three years tax payment.

They were sent to Ikoyi Prison pending when they will meet the bail conditions.
Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said some of the hoodlums not only paid money to the security guards to be allowed to sleep inside the school but also vandalized the school’s property.

He said school authorities had been complaining that hoodlums messed up their schools and excrete on students’ lockers, adding that such things might be happening in other schools where touts pay money to sleep in them and carry out their nefarious activities.


The Principal of Ilupeju Grammar School, Odi-Olowo Local Council Development Area, Lagos, Otunba Y.O. Bashorun, said he cannot say categorically that the guards were collecting money from miscreants to sleep within the school premises since he did not catch them red-handed.

“Could you believe that we have just two security men as big as this school is? One for morning and another one for night duty. What can one person do in the midst of multitude? In fact, we usually pay the good ones among the touts to help assist them while on duty.

“What we want now is for the government to come to our aid. This environment is not conducive for learning. We are surrounded by motor parks and touts. Opposite us is Ilupeju park, behind us is Ibadan park. They always disturb us with their blaring loud speakers while soliciting for passengers..
“If you go round the school, you will see what I am talking about. Touts usually scale the fence to gain entrance into the premises. Some parts of the wall have even been broken by these people. If you wait till about 6-7.p.m., you will see them coming in.”

According to him, “weekend is the worst. You will see them washing their clothes by the school tap and they will dry it on the school wall. Sometimes if I come to do some work here on Saturdays, I have to lock myself up in this office because I don’t want anybody to come and attack me.

“By Monday morning, the classrooms would have been littered with faeces, urine an all sorts of dirt. Some danfo (commuter bus) drivers even park their vehicles in this compound without the consent of the school authorities. What they do is that they park the buses late in the night and remove them early in the morning.”

Bashorun further said: “I so much like what happened. It will send a signal to the miscreants that it is not going to be business as usual in this school premises. The era of coming here to pass the night and wash their clothes in the school premises has gone. In fact, some of them have even fled.

“What we want now is that the state government should come to our rescue and make this environment conducive for learning. All the students see everyday are different forms of social vices which is not okay for their learning experience. We need tough, well trained security personnel and not old men like we used to have before.”

I don't like using the words 'first to comment' but I thank my fans for this landmark achievement....


@OP, hope the emergency rescue is prompt and timely sha.

God be with the victims...

Moderator, please I'd like this to be on the front page. Cheers

Fellow Nairalanders, what is your take on this?

Please don't get annoyed with my question, I just want to know why....

https://www.nairaland.com/167703/glo-win-rule-promo-it

Hope I won't be banned again sha....

Please if you don't have much of 'Lagos Sense' when you are driving around, remember to avoid these areas mentioned by Rich Dad. They have the highest numbers of 'one-way' roads in Lagos.....

WHERE WERE YOU?

I would have loved to remain in my settee imitating my brother by shaking my legs, but posterity will hand me over to condemnation if I refuse to say something.

I read the argument for and against naming Unilag in honor of MKO Abiola the symbol of June 12 and hero of our democracy.

Some people have openly accused him of stealing money, that may be true, but at least we have not seen any proof to substantiate the claim till date.

He was not the first to obtain government contracts and he was not the first to steal if indeed he was a thief and will certainly not be the last. The money they stole in those days was chicken change and child play when will compare with todays monumental loot; from billion and trillion. Can any of you swear to heaven if he/she had never falsified common receipts in your workplace or offices in your entire life? Can any of you swear you has never cut corner and defrauded your parents when you were in the schools? Can any of you swear he/she has never committed any fraud no matter how little in your entire lives? Yet you are quick to label others ole, barawo, thief, gbewiri etc.

I have never seen MKO live when he was on this side of creation, so nobody can accuse me of defending him blinding. Only June twelve put us in the destiny coach. I have never spent his money. It was on records that I contributed to his wealth somehow by making sure I bought his newspapers every day.

Nobody can fault Mr. President's good gesture although belated and as the saying goes it is better late than never. The President himself is a distance beneficiary of the Abiola's martyrdom. No matter what anybody writes, he suffered and fought doggedly for enthronement of democracy until he dropped dead with a cup of tea. If he had succumbed to cajole, promises and tactics of the military junta, the jack boot idiots will still be ruling us today with decrees. It is doubtful if a man with minority insignia will smell the cabbage cans in Aso rock not to talk of being in the helms of affairs of the most populous black nation on earth.

Why wouldn't GEJ honor him? The students who are protesting have every right to do so more so they were infants when the Man fought and died for your democracy. The military retirees are trying to downplay MKO accomplishment, its okay after all they were part of the establishment before they join us as bloody civilians.

None of us ever pray for death to snatch our parents from us prematurely that is the case of Abiola's children. Dont they have every reason to be angry us for dishonoring their father with our outbursts? We are talking of foundation when the government is heavily indebted to the family.

1. Where were these antagonists when our educational system was in shambles, there were no quality text books for our tertiary institutions at that time. The few books available then were very expensive, this man used his Abiola Bookstores at Herbert Macaulay junction in Yaba to help Unilag students many of them are today alumni of University with good grade, no thanks to MKO. I wouldnt be surprised if the same people will not oppose MKO to be honored

2. Where were you when this man used his Concord Newspapers to breed first class Journalists, Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Mohamed, Dele Alake, Senator Anyawu the list is endless

3. Where were you when Nigerian were eating his high quality bread, Wonder bread

4. Where were you when this man in spite of poor services of the Nigeria Airways, he always patronized them, while most of you preferred KLM, BA, Air France etc

5. Where were you when he established Abiola farms that sold farm products at give away prices?

6. Where were you when he assisted under privileged people across the country and showered them with money at his Ikeja residence? Many who "stole" like him never assisted the poor7. Where were you when he donated heavily to all Nigerian Universities including Unilag?

8. Where were you when this man contested and won an election and refused to surrender the mandate of the people? Many of you would have chicken out, but he chose to died as a brave man

9. Where were you when he lost him wife and his business empire collapsed? Is anyone out there saying amen, that his wife should died the way MKOs wife died? See them? They are quite?

10. Where were you when this man employed the Nigerian youths in their thousands and you are accusing him of stealing? How many employment the thieves of today generate? Are there loot not stack away in foreign land?

11. Where are you? Add to the list

Has he done nothing wrong to have contested an election of the highest position on our father land? He won convincingly? Prof H. Nwosu who conducted the election confirmed it 15 years after.

Like a Lion, he refused to surrender until the last breath. Many of you ran away those who were in Diaspora then found it convenient to stay put and could not come home to lend helping hands to helpless common men and women, but can now find time to criticize one of the beneficiaries who right the wrong of previous regimes.

You may not realize that MKOs refusal was the tonic the progressive needed to challenge and propel the military to hurriedly package an election within a year, a clever exit package. We all have lease of life today. A democracy in place of militracy.If MKO were to be alive, the same people opposing this honor will shout hosanna on top of the roof MKO is our man o.

Almost two decades, we have forgotten the history this man made? He broke ethnic, religion, language, color barrier in our Nation since independence. Should I say I am ashamed of sharing the same DNA and common heritage with this unappreciative generation?

We are so wowo that we can no long appreciate someone who paid the supreme prize for you and I. No wonder no more sorry, no thank you in our culture. I still dont know how we get to this level of national disaster? I now know that truly Nigeria is not worth dying for?

Naming UNILAG, my beloveth alumni, great Akokites after MKO will never bring him or his wife back to live. If you like call the President names, yab him, call him both printed and unprintable names, he is deaf, dumb and blind go ahead and ambush him so that he yields to your pressure and revert the name, MKO Abiolas name has been written as well as cast in solid gold. None of you can come close to it because you are afraid of death.

MKO came, saw and conquered. The Obi Okwokwo of our time. I will siddon look and patiently waiting for GEJ to name UNN other alumni after Dim Ojukwu, another Lion of the East of the Niger and see if heaven will fall. Mind you MKO is his kins man yes I will defend and appreciate any Nigerian who excels and exceeds ordinary mortal.

I have said it earlier I dont know him from Adam. I am a Nigerian pure and simple. A citizen of the most populous black Nation on earth the super power of Africa. I am proud to be so addressed, a Nigerian.

Hello Nairalanders,

I'm currently using one 'palasa' BB Curve (First Generation) and I want to get a better BB. I have the mind of buying Bold 4 or BB Torch but I overheard someone saying that of all the BB types Bold 2 is the one which has long lasting battery when fully charged before the battery gets fully discharged. How true is this assertion?

Please educate me

Thanks
