IT was too obvious to be overlooked, but I first noticed the relative improvement in power supply right from the weekend Muhammadu Buhari assumed office as president. I made alternative power supply plans to watch the live streaming of the president’s inauguration even though I ended up seeing just the tail end of it. But that was because I was busy at some work. Otherwise, there was constant and steady supply of power all through the transmission of the inauguration ceremonies and thereafter. I thought like others around me that ‘NEPA’ (would Nigerians ever accept that NEPA has since been dead?) was in a celebratory mood and would soon live off the euphoria of welcoming a new government into office. Is the present Nigerian president winning the battle against poor power supply, as against his predecessor? We expected things to change and ‘ NEPA’ to go back to its old ways in a matter of days. But rather than the situation changing from bad to worse, it has since remained the same more or less. Of course, there have been power cuts. But not in the manner we had come to know it. Nigerians may not know for how long this honeymoon-like experience would last (and they would rather want things to get better going by the general consensus of opinion in the media and among ordinary people), but they are sure of something if not of anything else: they have more access to steady and vastly improved power supply since the end of May 2015 than at any time, perhaps, in the previous six years of the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
The imported technocrats who all but destroyed our economy in the name of serving Jonathan were experts at bombarding us with statistics that meant nothing other than their takes on the versions of ‘lies, damned lies and statistics’ they had cooked up to befuddle everyone but themselves.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was particularly adept at this- reeling out series of statistics of hundreds of thousands of phantom employments and projections for the future that had no bearing of any kind to improvements in the material condition of the lives of Nigerians. What Nigerians wanted was life in abundance, measured in terms of decent housing, employment, health cover, improved funding of education and food supply etc. But what she gave were statistics that appealed to nobody but her likes in and out of government.
Now, Buhari has not provided statistics. He does not even have ministers (which is not to say that he can do it all alone) to say nothing of parading World Bank certified experts. Yet electricity has been steady relatively. Apologists of the expired PDP administration have been quick to tell Nigerians that they should be grateful to Jonathan for whatever improvement there is now in power supply. And they might well be right given the huge amount of funds that have been expended on the dark hole that is the power sector under the Jonathan administration, without noticeable improvement in either generation, supply or distribution of power.
Which leaves us no option but to ask the obvious question: how come that the one who spent all the money had nothing to show for it but darkness and the other who took the saddle has provided light without apparently lifting a finger? What happened? The difference is both one of personality and perception. Nigerians, especially those destroying this country, know Buhari and Jonathan are two different personalities. More importantly, they view these two personalities differently. The one they know would, in a manner of speaking, take no nonsense; the other didn’t mind being trampled on and taken for a ride. Those, including officials of the power holding company and other players in the power sector, who saw to it that Nigerians lived in perpetual darkness in spite of the tens of billions of dollars expended on providing electricity- those scoundrels who deserve to spend the rest of their miserable lives in jail knew Jonathan would do nothing ad all the evidence needed to move against.
They knew he was too unsure of himself to rein in the excesses of the destroyers by whom he was surrounded. This was practical evidence of what people meant when they spoke of the man’s weakness, his inability to take charge of the presidential stage that was rightfully his but on which his subordinates and other godfathers and ethnic lords had successfully reduced him to a mere stage hand. Jonathan’s inability or failure to act in situations like these provides both practical and palpable measure of his weakness. It is part of this difference in the perception of both Buhari and Jonathan and their likely reaction to cases of corruption and/or economic sabotage that those who actively laboured to destroy the power sector and ensured that Nigerians remained in darkness, during the Jonathan administration, immediately sat up and retraced their steps once they got wind of the entry of Buhari, a supposedly ‘brain dead’ Baba-go-slow who Patience Jonathan once said should be ashamed of ‘dragging’ position with a Jonathan that was the same age as his child. Losers in the unfolding game of improved power supply are by no means limited to those who actively sought to destroy the Nigerian economy. There are ordinary Nigerians, artisans and self employed technicians, who earn their living repairing generators. These are struggling Nigerians who have come to depend on making their own way through finding success in the failure of the power sector. These Nigerians for no fault of theirs have survived on our collectively failure, providing services that our comatose power sector made inevitable. It won’t be easy but they must now find other means of survival. One such person, a young man just raising a family, called me a couple of weeks ago to lament the sudden change in situation. But what he complained about is what is bringing smiles to the faces of millions of other Nigerians.
The truth is that whatever short term benefits were accruable to relatively small sections of Nigerians from the rot in the power sector are far outweighed by the long term benefits that would in the next few years come to all if power supply continues to improve. Industries would function optimally and cut down on providing alternative sources of power for their operations. The benefits of this would percolate down the society. More hands would be hired even as prices of goods and services go down. Nigerians would have less to expend on treating respiratory diseases that are fallout from air pollution caused by generator fumes.

It is no more a news to spend hours on Lagos roads. Sometimes, people miss very important appointments. Worse is it that a few people have lost jobs of their dreams because they got to venues of their interviews late. Workers wake up every day as early as 4:30am just to beat the traffic and get to work on time. This is not their fault. Working class parents hardly have time for their children again. This is because traffic jam takes a large chunk of their time before they get home. This should not be allowed to continue further. Drastic actions should be taken by the Ambode led administration to end this anomaly. In lieu of all these, some suggestions are put forward which could possibly be the solutions to the Lagos traffic palaver.

1. A check on event centres One of the trending businesses in Lagos is event centres. These centres are found on almost all major streets and roads. Their proprietors rake in handsome profits. Different ceremonies are held there. Although these centres have helped put an end to parties on the streets, they have however added to hold up on the roads. In some streets, there are more than two event centres. These do not augur well for the free flow of traffic. This is because vehicles of those hosting these events and their invited guests are parked on the roads. It is better if these centres are located far away from residential areas, busy streets and major roads. Also, these centres should create enough parking spaces within and not outside. This is because it is another factor that causes hold up.

2. A case for dilapidated roads An example of a road that commuters ply regularly is Metal box road in Ogba, Ikeja. Although, the road is not residential, it is a major link between companies and homes. The road is in a very bad state. Motorists are delayed unnecessarily on this less than 300metres road. This therefore creates avoidable hold up. In addition, pot-holes and other defects on poor roads add to needless traffic. If roads like this and others across Lagos are urgently repaired, at least traffic jam would go down by one-fifth of a fraction.

3. Facing street traders These categories of people constitute a major nuisance on Lagos roads. They are traders who display their wares on road pavements and even sometimes on the roads at night. They use walkways meant for passersby. They likewise have taken over pedestrian bridges in the state. All these affect free movement of people and vehicles. These traders do not do this in just some parts of the state. They do this everywhere. It is visible more especially at night. Governor Ambode should not fold his arms on this issue. He should as a matter of urgency direct the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) officials to clear this mess. Likewise, punitive measures against violation of street trading laws should be meted out. If this is fully implemented, the aesthetic value of the Centre of Excellence would also be evident in the free flow of traffic.

4. More inputs into the diversification of transport system It is still unexplainable in this age of advanced transport systems to see Lagosians struggle every day to board commercial buses. Lagos is the most endowed state in Nigeria. The state should have moved beyond its present level regarding transportation efficiency. However, this is not the case. People from different states work in Lagos and some of them return to their states at the weekend. For instance, people from Ibadan could come to Lagos everyday if there is a light rail transport system that links these two ends. A straight forward solution to traffic jam is the light rail with more investments into other forms of transport apart from commercial buses. A completion of projects like the mile two light rail and the Ikorodu BRT would ease transport difficulties a bit in Lagos.

5. Proximity of home and office It is not an under-statement to state that there is housing deficit in Lagos. Likewise, the cost of renting a comfortable apartment is on the high side. For instance, a person who works in Victoria-Island but lives at Ayobo-Ipaja is misnomer. This is because he travels every day to work. Apart from the money he spends on jumping from one bus to the other, a lot of man hour is lost on the road. A person like this would have love to live close to his office, but the cost of renting a flat at VI may possibly be out of his reach. He has no choice really at his disposal than to continue in this pattern. On the other hand, if government houses are purposely built in these working environments and made available at affordable amount to workers, there would be no jumping from one bus to the other or setting of clock alarms at 3:30am in order to beat traffic. In the same vein, this will help de-congest densely populated areas. Governor Ambode should look into these suggestions because to make Lagos a traffic-free state is a task that will be achieved.

Halitosis simply means bad breath. It could
affect anyone at any age and is caused mainly
by improper management of the teeth.
According to knowyourteeth.com, more than 80
million people globally suffer from chronic halitosis. In
addition to poor oral hygiene, retained food particles
or gum diseases are other causative factors.
It is an established fact every responsible single
woman wants to have a guy she could call hers.
Women feel secure when they know they have a man
who is always at their beck and call. However, a lady
with halitosis could face some of the under-listed if she
has this disease.

1. She could become an eyesore
There is hardly any man who will feel comfortable
sitting down and gisting with a lady suffering from
bad breath. A woman’s outward beauty is the first
thing that attracts a man from a distance. On the
other hand, if a man comes closer to a lady and
knows that she has halitosis, she quickly becomes an
irritant to the man.

2. Problem of being isolated
Girls love association. Ditto, everyone cherishes being a
part of a social gathering. The inner powers of women
are displayed often when they engage in a discussion.
This is however threatened if she has halitosis. Nobody
would want to come near her. As the number of her
friends declines, so also do guys fear approaching her
because of her breath. This in turn makes her
ostracised.

3. Men fear their health
Some men believe that all diseases are communicable
and contagious. They do not listen to medical doctors
if they say otherwise. These sets of guys therefore
become curious of their health when they know a lady
with halitosis is nearby.

4. She becomes a laughing stock
Immediately a bad-breathed lady is sighted, people
who know about her status burst into laughter. This
in turn make her feel dejected. More so, this could
make men interested to inquire the reason for the
sudden comedy. If they eventually find out, it kills her
spirit.

5. Low self-esteem
Halitosis dampens the morale of a lady with the
disease. It makes her feel she is not among her peers.
It creates a vivid image in front of her of someone no
man would ever want to have as a spouse.

6. Her ideas are killed
A sufferer could have lofty ideas during a discussion or
in a learning environment. However, she keeps to
herself. Men love ladies who are intellectually sound. A
man who knows that a particular woman says
nothing and stays away from general discussion
might have mixed feelings about such a lady.

7. Stigma and name calling
Such a lady could be nicknamed, “smelling-mouth” or
“suffocating gas distributor.” This is a big stigma. If
she comes to any assembly, people mention her
nickname and forget about her real name. If a guy
who wants to show interest in her hears this and then
confirms, this makes her a no-go-area for the man
and possibly other men.

Babcock University today unveiled the new school fees and many students aren't happy about it. One student told LIB that last year she paid N690k and now she's paying close to N900k this semester. See screenshots of the increased fees and what some of the students are saying after the cut... "How can a school professing to be a christian institution increase fees so high? Last year I paid #600K and now I have to pay #922,380? The worst part is that school is resuming on the 31st of august! Pls I'm in my final year, I don't know how my parents will fund such a huge sum in such short time. Please help us! Let the whole world see how wicked, insensitive, and commercial this school is." on student said "Our school suddenly increased the fees by well over N200k just a week before school resumes. Things are hard and the school isn't even considerate of that. They look for all avenues to exploit student, like making a N60k educational tab compulsory. Pls appeal to the school to do a downward review of the fee so as some of us won't have to drop out." another student told LIB. "I am a student of Babcock University, 400level who is left with just a semester to leave school. However, just yesterday, it was noted that the school fees has been increased by almost 100%. For someone like me who is initially meant to pay 300k now is paying 580k. However, the students association tried their best to negotiate this out, but it seems like exercise in futility. We have decided to go through media to bring the attention of the public to help us fight this out, as students cannot protest as this will result to immediate suspension and expulsion from the institution." said another student "Law Students will now pay 1.5million as against the 700/800k as of last session. Theology students will also pay 800k as opposed to the 350k they paid last session." a student said

Pretty Kemi Arobieke (pictured above) died last week
in Osogbo and her family suspects foul play. Below
is something her brother sent.
“I write this with a heavy heart the
demise of my immediate younger
sister Kemi Arobieke who was
murdered. On Thursday 6th of
August, my sister left for Osogbo to
see Bode Olugbore, the State Special
Adviser to Governor Aregbesola
without telling anyone only for us to
get a call on the 8th, Saturday, that
she had died in an accident in
Osogbo. The police asked us to come
immediately that it was tragic. We
got to osogbo in the night but was
told to wait for the DPO the next
morning. We got the shocker on
Sunday that my beloved sister was
electrocuted. We went to the
mortuary where we discovered that
she was not electrocuted but
murdered”
There’s a photo of her corpse after the cut so please
be warned…
Autopsy and Postmortem was to be
carried out at LAUTECH. My fears
is that the result has been tampered
with in their favor. Bode Olugbore
who is married with 3 kids, has not
told us the family what really
happened to our sister, who was
planning her wedding in November.
We need your help to ensuring that
our Sweet sister gets Justice. The
case is at Dada State Police station
in Osogbo. I can be reached with
this mail ayoolarobieke@yahoo.com
and my phone number is
08038016197; for any NGO that is
willing to help our family. We want
justice

The Acting Chairman, Independent National Electoral
Commission, Mrs. Aminat Zakari, has said that the
commission is awaiting reports of the police
investigations into bribery allegations against some
resident electoral commissioners and other staff of the
commission.
Zakari, who disclosed this in an interview with Saturday
PUNCH in Abuja on Friday, said INEC was waiting for
security agents to provide tangible evidence against those
involved.
The acting INEC Chairman, who said she had the
capacity to be substantive INEC Chairman despite being
a woman, denied claims that she is President
Muhammadu Buhari’s in-law.
Zakari confirmed that security agents and INEC had
received petitions against some RECs, but refused to give
the number and identities of the commissioners involved.
Reacting to bribery allegations against some RECs, she
stated, “Everybody makes allegations about bribery, or
about somebody being bribed. Anybody can make the
allegation, unless it’s proven by the security agencies or
the court, INEC does not take action.
Speaking on those that had been picked up by the
security agencies, he stated, “Unless they (security
agencies) give us anything in writing, we just leave it as
it is until their investigations are over.”
Zakari, who dismissed an insinuation that she could not
effectively perform as INEC Chairman because of her
gender, said she was not desperate to retain the job in a
substantive capacity.
She stated, “I am a human being first. I have the
capacity. If I have the ability to do something and there
are ways and means of achieving your targets. You don’t
rely on your brain alone. You have other people to rely
on. I have done administration. I have worked in
organisations that demand accountability.”
The INEC acting chairman explained that she was not
appointed commissioner in INEC by Buhari, adding that
former President Goodluck Jonathan had appointed her.
“I can’t say the General (Buhari) is my in-law. I am not
married to his son. My daughter is not married to him.
That is what I understand about being an in-law, but
obviously, in life, you have acquaintances, people you
have known,” she said.
Adding that Buhari was not known for nepotism, she
said, “God decides who becomes (a) leader; if God decides
I would be the one to continue, I will have to do my
best.”
She stated, “I did not lobby for it (acting chairmanship).
I had packed all my things out of INEC; I wanted to
leave on the 30th (of June).
“I was just called on my way home as the chairman
(Jega) handed over to Ambassador Wali. When I was
called that the Head of Service was looking for me and I
said, ‘what for?’ and I just continued driving. I was by
Bullet House by the time I got the call and I just
continued driving.
She also disclosed that the commission had sent some
staff from its headquarters to Rivers State to assist in
sorting out documents demanded by the state electoral
tribunal.

Informed Rivers people know how much this Wike stole when he was local govt chairman and later chief of staff to Amaechi. The federal government of Buhari is not oblivious of the looting in ministry of education under Wike. I will never support Amaechi or anyone else for corruption but all Wike's supporters should tell the whole world how he became so stupendously rich, where he got the billions he lavished on his campaign. It's easy to point accusing fingers. The worst governor any state will ever have is Peter Odili but the pdp in Rivers state hardly remembers him. As we speak today, there's absolutely nothing to remember his administration except for billboards all over Port Harcourt then. There are landmarks to Amaechi's credit; from roads rehabilitation to primary health care to primary and secondary schools infrastructure improvement to electricity substations etc. If not for Amaechi, there will be no motorable road today leading to Owerri, a federal road. Out of their wicked hearts, Jonathan and his wife made sure that money was never refunded to Rivers state during Amaechi's tenure. Talking of empty treasury is bulls**t. An aircraft does not generate revenue by parking at the airport. Amaechi increased rivers state IGR more than any other state in the entire south except Lagos. He did not stop the IGR when he left office. He did not stop the federal allocation to Rivers when he left. If Wike luckily survives the electoral tribunal, he should focus on the job of governance and allow efcc or whatever to address the allegations against Amaechi. Ka Chineke mezie okwu.

RIVERS State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, dismissed the claims that his administration was attacking the immediate past governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, in order to deprive him (Amaechi) of a ministerial appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Wike explained that rather than worry about the possible appointment of Amaechi into President Buhari’s cabinet, he was interested in how the state’s funds were managed under the former governor.

He pointed out that a situation where nothing was left in the state’s treasury on his assumption of office as governor was annoying, worrisome and unacceptable.

Wike, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Taria, told newsmen in Port Harcourt that it was illogical for anybody to claim that his complaint about corruption in the immediate past administration had any link with Amaechi likelihood of getting a federal appointment.

“So, what is he (Ameachi) going to do to him (Wike) as a minister or Federal Government appointee? Wike has not told anybody that he does not want President Buhari to appoint Amaechi as a minister. He has never said it; these are just insinuations and innuendos.

“If Mr. President, known for his mantra of zero tolerance for corruption; is saying that he is not going to appoint anybody with a stained image as a member of his cabinet and Rivers people are saying that Rotimi Amaechi is not qualified for an appointment, there is no problem with that.

“But the truth is that paint Amaechi black, if he (Buhari) does not want to appoint him (Amaechi), he will not. Paint Amaechi white, if the President is not interested in him, he will not appoint him.

“The talk about whether Amaechi should be appointed into Buhari’s cabinet is just the feeling from Rivers’ people and not the governor himself. He has never discussed the issue of whether Amaechi should be appointed by Mr. President or not.

“The governor is more interested in how the funds of Rivers State were spent; whether they were judiciously spent or they were just frittered away. That is the interest because it is annoying that when we took over, we met an empty treasury,” Wike said.

He expressed worry that those responsible for emptying the state’s treasury were the same people accusing him of taking N30bn loan within a month.

He said, “They forgot that you are supposed to pay salaries; you are supposed to open the judiciary. The governor gave the judiciary N300m for takeoff and he also had to pay some of the students abroad who were owed allowances. Civil servants, pensioners and footballers, who were owed salaries, were paid.”

I once worked in a popular school in Lagos which I don't want to mention the name..And when I started working with them, they gave me two uniforms which we (the staff) wear on Monday and Thursday.. , I resigned last two months because of the stress and other issues ... And I gave then two weeks notice before leaving .. tho they delayed my salary.. And I went back to collect it..
