Staff of the Lagos State Water Corporation lose job
TheTalk.NG learnt that the development happened on Thursday, November 30.

The Punch reported on Friday, December 8, that the affected Lagos staff members were shocked when they were served with sack letters on Tuesday, November 28.

The development made some of the staff members who were not affected by the exercise to panic.

A worker explained:

“Nobody knew this was going to happen. We were all shocked that a large number of people could be sacked in a day.

“One of my friends was affected by the decision. She has a family she is taking care of. She doesn’t even know where to start. She left the office weeping last week.

“Even if they are going to sack anyone, they should have given people more time to find alternatives.”

It is understood that the Lagos waterworks staff were laid off due to restructuring claims by the state government. However, staff complain of staff shortage.

Water corporation reacts
Meanwhile, Kehinde Fashola, the LWC’s spokesperson, confirmed the sack. Fashola, however, said the dismissed staff breached the contract of agreement.

His words:

“Some of them have been contract staff for 10 years and some for five years, which is not in accordance with the country’s labour law. The normal time is two years.”

Baba so pe mentality on display.

An Igbo man, but when the Yorubas needed a son with the widest reach in 1999, to fill in for the loss of MKO, all shouted Obasanjo. Were you not born before 1999? The country compensated the Yorubas with the Presidency in 1999. He was not a son, yet the President. When he appealed to AD supporters to support their own son in the SW in 2003, they overwhelmingly did, except for BAT in Lagos. He was their son. When he refused certain patronages from the SW, they changed the narrative.

Na you be the doctor wey dem born OBJ for him hand, to take know say im papa na Igbo man.

Get small shame bros.

“He’s never happy”. Are you in his mind? At 85 he plays squash. He is a fulfilled man. Records . Internationally known. Eats well. Sleeps well. Has his medical examinations every January. Even BAT the other day in the palace of the Alake asked him to come and work with him.

20 Dead As Rival Cult Groups Clash In Ogun
IndependentSep 19, 2023 5:04 AM

Cult clashes between the Eiye Confraternity and the Aiye Confraternity in Sagamu area of Ogun State have reportedly claimed the lives of 20 people.


According to reports, the clash began on Thursday night when members of the Eiye Confraternities engaged in a su­premacy battle with Aiye Con­fraternity.

The clash reached a climax in the early hours of Monday when about six young men, including secondary school students, were gruesomely murdered.

MEDICAL CONSULTANTS REVEALED HOW MEN CAN NATURALLY AND PERMANENTLY CURE POOR ERECTION, SMALL AND SHAMEFUL MANHOOD, AND INFERTILITY ISSUES WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS. STOP THE USE OF HARD DRUG FOR SEX! IT KILLS!!!..
The clash has been reported in Agbowa, Ajaka, Sabo, Ijagba, and Isokun.


In another tragic incident, Sunny Pa, an alleged 50-year-old gospel musician, lost his life in the crossfire, becoming one of the unfortunate casualties of this deadly clash.

Another victim, Elemere, a popular drummer associated with a well-known local Fuji musician in Sagamu, was bru­tally murdered at a local bar along with two other women on Sunday.

The Sabo area seems to have witnessed some of the worst vio­lence, with reports indicating that at least 10 people have been killed in this specific location.


Among the victims were Mi­kolo, a suspected Eiye member who was killed at the GRA, and Anene, a suspected Aiye member.


The motives behind this vi­olent clash remain murky, with sources offering varying specu­lations.

Some have suggested a possi­ble connection to the death of pop­ular Nigerian musician Mohbad, while others have posited that it may be linked to a dispute over the distribution of proceeds from land-grabbing activities.

A statement by the Command's Spokeman, Daniel Ndukwe said that the victims were killed at the early hours of Monday, during a gunfight with the security agents.

The Enugu State Command of the Nigeria Police Force on Monday said combined security forces have killed three gunmen said to be pro-Biafran agitators who were planning to enforce the “illegal sit-at-home” in the state.

A statement by the Command's Spokeman, Daniel Ndukwe said that the victims were killed at the early hours of Monday, during a gunfight with the security agents.

Ndukwe noted that three pump action guns and cutlasses and other incriminating items were recovered.

"At about 2.15 a.m on Monday, September 18, 2023, a joint security team, comprising Police Operatives of the Enugu State Command, NPF Special Forces, and Troops of the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army Enugu, acting on credible intelligence, busted the criminal hideout of IPOB/ESN subversive criminal elements in Ezioha Mgbowo in Awgu Local Government Area, while they were perfecting plans to enforce the illegal sit-at-home order in the State.

"Three (3) of the hoodlums, who opened fire on the joint team upon sighting them, were neutralised, while several others escaped with severe degrees of gunshot wounds in the ensuing gunfight.
"Three (3) pump-action guns, ten (10) machetes, and other incriminating exhibits were recovered; while an intense manhunt for those on the run is ongoing."

The command's spokesman, however, quoted the state Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, to have commended the joint team and reassured the security and safety of citizens as they go about their lawful businesses in the State.

The commissioner, he explained has reiterated the avowed commitment of the police and other security forces to sustain the onslaught against unrepentant violent criminals operating under any guise.

"CP Kanayo, therefore, enjoins all and sundry to report individuals sighted with gunshot wounds to the nearest Police Station, while remaining law-abiding and continuing to provide the Police with actionable security information and intelligence."

Lil Smart, ex-Marlian Record label signee under the leadership of Naira Marley has opened up to Davido’s crew member, Dre DMW, that two people ran mad before he left Marlian Record label.

This is coming following the speculations and controversies that have been surfing the internet on the sudden death of Afrobeats singer-rapper Mohbad, whose cause of death still remains unclear.

It would be recalled that Mohbad died on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, after reportedly going to get an injection from a nurse, who administered malaria treatment on him.

Following his death, reports began to emerge that he was harassed and physically assaulted numerous times by Sam Larry and a group of boys.

However, Davido’s crew member, Dre called out Sam Larry over the death of Mohbad, vowing to get to the bottom of the matter.

In a new update, Lil Smart has also confided to Dre about some of the issues he had faced while still a member of the label.

He revealed that he was scared and believed that it was the label that ended Mohbad’s life.

Lil Smart further revealed that two people had allegedly run mad before he left the label.

Dre shared a screenshot of the message on his Instagram story.

In another post, Lilsmart shared his concerns about the lawlessness in the country and stated that he doesn’t want to meet an untimely death.

He highlighted the current state of the country, referring it to as a lawless place that doesn’t resonate with his values and aspirations.

His concerns about the lack of order and safety contribute to his fear of facing an untimely death.

He wrote; I’m Scared. Never been this Scared. Is a Lawless country And it isn’t for me. I don’t wanna die young.”

However, Netizens have been reacting to his emotional message saying something should be done about it.

@ezeqwesiri commented: “Do not take this for granted! He recently commented that Moh didn’t die of ear infection Also he’s a breakout of the Marlian record. Do not take this for granted!”

@bissy_bae_bee reacted: “At this point everyone is scared. Even me.”

@dr_phili reacted: That Marlian label is definitely evil. It seems like once you join, it’s difficult to leave.”

@riligee said: “Naira no sign this one na.”

@zeem_miles reacted: “Let’s not turn this into clout chasing pls, Mohbad case is a serious case. You can visit the appropriate authorities.”

@deliciouskitchen25 said: “I think parents need to start checking anyone trying to help their kids in the name of music.”

@pretti_woman_ reacted: “Na wa. How can we help the ones still alive? I’m really confused.”

@thefoodnetworknig2 commented: “Which one is I’m scared of? Shey at this point una no see say you no pass chicken for Naira and Sammy’s hands? All past & present signees should better go collect bed for police headquarters… E ni ori yo…”
